Computer Specs & Requirements.

You might be ok with what you have.

Start by immediately signing up for 5 Rift Beta accounts (using 5 different Emails) as soon as you can. This way, you can test out 5 boxing for free, until Beta ends on Monday.

Anyone able to give me instructions on how to do this please ?

In ISBoxer in the Character Sets tab click on your Rift character set and then on the lower pane you can select each slot and assign cores to each slot.

The game looks fucking amazing.

I am thinking I'll need to upgrade my RAM and Video Card.

Any suggestions?

a fast processor and at least 12 gig of RAM. running the games on a SSD HD will make a huge difference also.

I run 4 clients comfortably on low settings with:

i7920
12 gig ram
ATI 6970 2 gig
no SSD HD.

I have an i7-920.

Its showing up as having 8 cores in ISB, though it's 4 cores and 8 threads.


Should I ignore 'cores' 5-8 and balance my 5 chars across 1 -4 ?

Physical cores are paired up with virtual cores... so 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8. You should balance your team however works best for
your computer. Some people claim 2 physical cores per window, some people claim 1 core per window, some others claim
pairing up the physical core with its virtual core is better than not, then some others turn off hyper-threading altogether, and
then.... see where this is going? :) There is no universal right answer, there is only an answer that works for your computer
and how each game you play handles multiple cores or how Windows handles them for you.

I would say that a universal wrong answer would be to assign game windows to a virtual core that aren't using that physical
core because that usually doesn't work out well.

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated. :)

Before a few days ago. i had HT turned off and did not realize i ever even had HT or what HT was lol. I was trying to OC my cpu and at one point crashed. When i rebooted it gave me an option to set things back to default. I got in game.. was setting up my team and notice i gained 4 more cores ( long story short.. i now know about HT )

Before I had the V cores on, i could not handle 5 clients of Rift. Now i have all clients set to the physical cores only and 5 clients run great! Less than perfect, but very playable. where as before I could not play 5. So the HT seems to be helping me.
