starting to 5 box but hit an FPS issue

hi guys i was running a 4 boxer, upgraded to 5 today and am getting horrible FPS across most windows

i have my config.wtf set to 30 maxfps 15 maxfpsbk on the main window, 10 maxfps 10 maxfpsbk on the slaves

graphics on high ( main only) slaves minimal graphics (shadows off on main also)

my computer specs are:

Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit)
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
Quad Core Q6600 CPU
4gb Corsair DDR2 (1066) O/C to 1333

Update: tried with Keyclone and they are working at set FPS,, but i perfer ISboxer for auto setup of FTL....
any help/advice would be greatly appriciated

problem solved itself after a reboot

You're 5-boxing with 4GB of RAM? Any complications in Dalaran?

<For anyone else reading this in the future and wondering what to try.>

As Lax mentioned in chat, ISBoxer settings override your maxfps and maxfpsbk settings in the config.wtf file, so make sure you set your FPS per Slot in your ISBoxer Character Set.

wouldnt know but id assume so

lol i'm 5x boxing with 2GB RAM >.<
can't go to Dalaran with more than 1 toon at the time.
I even have to be careful when i take flightpaths that go around Dalaran.. but for all the rest it's ok :-)

My computer speccs:
Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
Memory:
4096MB RAM (8GB max)
Video Card:
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
Operating System:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

I'm 5boxing on this rig with graphic set to MAX, 2 monitors. One monitor for main character and one for the slaves.

I haven't had any major fps loss yet. I've been to Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Ironforge with main and all of the 4 slaves without fps below 60.

Programs I usually run at the same time:
Xfire
Steam
Chrome
Spotify


With your computer I don't see why you should have that huge fps loss O.o

hi mystic, i recently upgraded to 12 gb ddr3 ram, i7 930 processor, ati radeon 5770 (have to run 1440x900 due to a driver issue that i cant fix) but fps is good now :O

I'm glad you're not having FPS troubles in Vanilla, but you're in for a shock when you hit expansions, especially WotLK. You certainly will not be able to have any video settings at max, and you may not be able to handle Dalaran - if you do then it will be very slow and laggy.

Wow.. I'm only dual boxing with my setup..

9800 GT Nivida SLI (dual cards)
intel i7 920 2.66mhz
Windows 7 64-bit Ulitmate
6 gb Tri-ram
320g HD (for quickest response)
Antec nine hundred two Case
Silent Pro M 600w Power Supply
Noctua FF-P12 case 120 x 120 x 25 side case fan (for SLI cards)
4 interal case fans and 1 big on top
2 monitors (DVI / HDMI LG Flatron 23" widescreen HD glossy black W2361VG) and a (VGA Envision 19")


With this setup how much could I push this system into Multiboxing more.. I want to go 4 box or maybe five box.. Can I do it with this setup?

You should be able to run 4-5 quite easily with that setup, may want a little more ram for 5, but it should be fine with what you have.

SLI is only good for doubling the framerate on a single monitor I think i recall reading, so you may want to un-SLI them and just run a monitor on each.
