I have lowered resolution, seems to be doing fine now, however the graphics look shit now xD!

Don't forget about the RenderScale setting. What I used for nerfing the followers while maxing out the main was:
Follower:
/console renderscale 0.3
Lead:
/console renderscale 1
This makes the terrain/buildings/chars look like minecraft on the followers but the UI elements don't change.
[EDIT] Just be aware that this may induce a half-second to 1 second delay when swapping leads as the WoW engine catches up.
That's a good call... I keep forgetting about that setting. With his system, he could even try something a bit higher like 0.5 or 0.6 which might help reduce the swap time. /shrugQuote:

If it was working yesterday and not today, your problem is environmental (i.e. some process in your environment is running today that wasn't yesterday, etc.). Find out what changed and you'll have your answer. I hate these kinds of problems as they're difficult to diagnose.
However.
There seems to be a new tool that creates lag.. there actually is a new tool.. someone is already banned for it.
Maybe alot of people use it..
I hope this is the issue...
To answer on Ughmahedhurtz:
I would prefer to run on normal resolution..
So if i would purchase the cpu i mentioned, would this resolve the problem?

Wait, what the what? There's a hack someone can use to lag out other people? That doesn't lag out the person using it?Quote:

I know there are people that 10-box on cheaper CPUs than the one you have, so I'm at a loss for answers without some more detailed and invasive debugging. Have you tried OC'ing to 4GHz? Keep a careful eye on CoreTemp but that should give you a quick answer on CPU performance.Quote:

This was only in the starter area, without all the visuals you get in a boss fight, but I think it was a reasonable test.
I'm only guessing but I figure the implementation by Blizzard is assuming that people reduce these options because their GPU is not powerful enough, so they offload processing onto the CPU along with reducing some of the bling.
If my GPU could handle it (it probably couldn't unfortunately), I reckon I could probably 10 box myself at a pinch on my current CPU, although I would probably need to shut down a few of my other background things, and maybe setup an overclock. If I had a couple of extra cores, it would be even better as I'd have some headroom.
So, to answer your question, would a 5960x solve your problem?. If you are just maxing the CPU and the processes don't require much more grunt, then probably. If the games (or something else hooking the games) are looking for a bunch more, then maybe not. You could find this out by shutting down 1 or 2 and seeing if that makes the problem go away. If you have to shut down 3 before it goes away, then chances are a 5960x wont help, based on the percentages.
Personally I think your issue lies in your configuration somewhere (game or other), and the hardware you have should handle it, but that's my opinion, and I don't have the comparative hardware to confirm this.
I concur. More specifically, with reduced visual fidelity it increases framerate requiring more CPU to render the additional frames regardless of non-CPU considerations. As with you, it's just a suspicion but it makes sense.Quote:
