Help Needed 5 box running at 1-6fps

hi guys,

I got a bit of money together and treated myself to a new PC,

specs are

AMD FX6200 @ 3.3Ghz
8GB ram 1600Mhz
Geoforce GTX660 2Gb
120Gb SSD Drive containing windows 8 and wow only
1 Tb HDD

Trouble is that when i log 5 toon in fps drops to 0-6fps, only addons i have on at the moment are Isboxer, Jamba and recount.

if i single box i am getting @ 65fps

any idea's? is somthing getting throttled anywer?

thanks in advance

My guess would be that your video settings are too high.

thanks

Before you create a special macro, why not just turn your settings down manually to see if that's the problem?

You can also set them to DX9 instead of DX11 to unload a bit more from the GPU.

how do i do that, is that selecting DX9 instead of warcraft profile in the wizard in isboxer?

If you've selected the DX11 profile, you'll either need to select DX9 or the Default Profile.
With the Default Profile, you can change it in game and it will go with whatever you select.

I've found, if you select either the DX 9 or DX 11 profile, you're stuck with that.

I just changed it to dx9 in the in-game WoW options. I didn't set anything specific in ISBoxer that I recall.

I had the DX9 profile selected, and wanted to try Ultra/DX11 x5.
Everytime I changed the settings to DX11, it said a restart would be required.
Restarting, always set the game to DX9 mode because that was my profile.

With a bit of testing, DX11 profile starts as DX11 no matter what you set it to prior to the restart.
Similarly, using the DX9 profile starts the character set with DX9 set when you launch.

If you use Default Profile, rather than a DX9/DX11 preset, the in-game setting can be changed and when you do a restart of the game it even remembers the changes.
