Also, do you have all the windows on good video settings? Or the main on good, everyone else toned down?

Both the CPU and GPU are critical. Last night when everyone and their mother was logged on, my CPU actually reached 100%. I had to overclock it a little bit (from 3500MHZ to 3900MHZ) in order to keep up with all the toons in ORG.
I have Good settings on all 10. Might be an idea to try low on the slaves and high on main. I haven't thought of that. Will try it tonight and update the thread.

Palee, my system is similar to yours, with the exception of 680 and the CPU cooler.
I'm anxious to get my 5 other accounts going. .......btw, which way did you go utilizing RaF?

NS

I did "old account" > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 9 > 10
1-5 on one bnet
6-10 on another bnet
Then after leveling one team to 80 on 1-10, I grant levels to 10 DKs to 80 since they only need 22 levels out of their starter zone.
Then level more teams and grant more levels.

So last night I messed with different gfx settings on main vs slaves and indeed the difference is big.
I can run on Ultra on main if the slaves are on low. But I'm not sure if it would keep up in a large scale battle. Just moving around ORG doesn't tax the system that much. A city raid where a lot of people are fighting will be a more accurate test.

Micro Center had a great deal on i7 3770k cpu and Asus p8z77 v pro mother board. The board was $159 and the cpu was $289. The cpu is unlocked so you can OC it very high.
