Low framerates on one of my 5x team

[Grail]

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2500K with a Samsung 256GB 840 Pro SSD, 8 Gigs of ram, and an EVGA 670 4GB card. I have my main char on my 24" monitor and the other four on a 19". If my main character is running at say 45 fps, the others are all running at 28-30 regularly. All except one that is. That one is running at around 18-22 fps. If I switch one of the other three accounts to be the character I lead with, the fps will climb quickly from 28-30 to around 45+ fps. Not so with the slow poke account. It stays at 18-22+-.

It might be one of the two accounts that share one of the four cores of my processor, but it is the only account that is behaving like this.

Any ideas?

ps- Hope everyone has been well, I have been having fun with RAF.

Try running all clients on a round-robin cpu strategy and limit the slaves to 20 fps (or even lower). You wont notice a difference between 30 and 20 on the slaves.

Well, as RSM72 says, there's no real need for your slaves to be up that high. I run mine at like 15FPS background.

You can try looking at some of the stuff in this thread (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/46645-Low-FPS-on-second-HDMI-monitor).

What version of Jamba are you using? If you disable the addon and the framerate is back up then you know the problem. To fix this you export the settings from a toon with good framerate then import from the toon with the bad frame rate then everything will be working again.

Thanks RSM72, Khatovar, and JohnGabriel,

Sorry, I didn't respond before this. I am just desperately trying to get another group to 80. As soon, as I have some time, I will try each of these ideas.

I always appreciate the support I find on these forums.

I would toggle "Display Lua Errors" on (ESC->Interface->Help->Displ....) chances are some addon or another is erroring out, but it happens so fast that it simply reduces your framerate. Any team with a warlock was laggy at some point in my play history... and just recently the bulkmail addon was throwing error after error (actually the same error repeated ;-) ).... and it was playable...just noticeable that something was wrong. Showing the Lua Errors showed my which addons were choking and how often.
