My Beefy Druids

Just a screenie of my UI and screen setup. Working on 5 druids, boomkin specced. So far I've cleared RFC, WC, SFK, and RFK. Tried SM: Graveyard @ 28 but was getting too many resists for it to be feasible yet. I'll probably just skip it and go right into the library (I hate the graveyard).

I'm currently running Bongos, Xperl, Monkeyquest, Backseat Quester, Omen, and Titan panel. And most likely Item Rack in the near future. Monitors are a 24" @ 1920x1200, and a 19" @ 1280x1040. PC is running Vista Ultimate x64 with an AMD X2 4200 (next on my upgrade list), nVidia 8800 GTS, 8 gigs of ram, Logitech G15 and G5.

Hey ryan, I think 5 druids look awesome! And nice UI imo. Btw, I've been trying to put my wow creens into my second monitor also but it causes my FPS to drop dramatically. I am running XP and I heard there is some kind of bug init which causes this. Is it any better in vista??

Thanks!

I haven't tried running it on XP, so I'm not sure if it makes a huge difference :P I do run the graphics fairly low
(32 bit color, 1x multisampling with draw distance and terrain features turned down), and cap the framerates at 15 on the clients I'm not focused on, and 45 on the main one. Unless I'm in Org or UC, it runs pretty smooth.

If you are running two monitors in XP with normal dual view mode, yes it will kill your FPS due to a bug in XP. There are two ways to solve this:

1) Switch your display to horizontal span (may require that you be on only one graphics card, this happened to me when I first started)
2) Upgrade to Vista which fixes the dual-view bug.

This is actually the reason I upgraded to Vista, and I've had a very good experience with Vista despite what the haters say.

Kick Ass Picture !!! The druids look really really kewl !!! :thumbup:

Wow, druids look like fun!

Got Doan down tonight! Wasn't bad once I set up them up in a big circle around him before fighting, only lost one in the fight.
