Why are you testing in Fullscreen mode? Is that is how me multibox? Is that how anyone around here plays
multiple clients on one machine? In Fullscreen mode? No, they don't. When one fullscreen...
I think you're completely mistaken as to how powerful you believe a single GTX 580 is or how much CPU &
GPU Ultra w/ MSAA requires. I can't even run 5 clients @ 60/30 FPS using the Ultra preset...
Because it was the login screen Sam. I could load up 150 login screens but I wouldn't be able to load 150
characters into the game world because there's much, much more going on in the game world.

Sam, it proves my point. Client #1 and Client #15 are identical clients therefore they put out identical loads
and take up identical amounts of VRAM. If that wasn't the case, then the bottom...
Dammit Sam, I have no idea what all of this means. You mention 2 screen shots but, there is only 1. It's a
double monitor screen shot and all I did was press the Print Screen button and then paste...
Here's a big-mother-of-a-picture to help show you what I'm talking about and here's what is going on in it...
Top Monitor:
15 tiled game windows with Client #15 (upper left window) at...
Before I take a screen shot, I click on region 1 to make sure it's in focus and getting full attention. I do this
every time (at least I try to remember to do this every time) because it gives a...
I don't know where this is coming from. Whether one screen is on top of the other 14 or not, they're all
being rendered all the time as you can see in my screen shots below. Don't mind the increase...
I got bored last night so I thought I'd see how far I could push my hardware.

There's also something like the 2.5GB 570 that falls in between (even though I personally don't like those fan designs).
SLI did immediately give a noticeable boost in both TERA Online and Civilization V completely maxed out so it
isn't a complete loss but, I'm still not entirely sure I can justify the $600 price tag...
In addition to the SLI testing, I did attempt to utilize the total VRAM of both cards and "split" the games
between them essentially giving me 6GB of VRAM.
I was successful and it does indeed...
Sooo... about those tests...
The World of Warcraft SLI tests were very disappointing (surprise, surprise) and there is no need to even
post the results. World of Warcraft is just too CPU bound...
My first guess was going to be that more people came back to the game on your realm and because 10 more
people are in the city on one screen... it's really 50 more people because it's rendering on...
Were. This is all in the past since I've switched to 2 computers and split my monitors between them The FPS
problem went on for over a year and of course I tried everything from swapping hardware...
My FPS spikes were pretty severe. All 4 or 5 windows would get locked at about 10-15FPS and monitoring the
GPU's usage via GPU-Z would show that the GPU load would just shoot up to 100% at random...
I've been thinking of the list of "benchmarks" I'm going to go through with for this weekend and here's what
I've come up with:
5-Boxing World of Warcraft
CPU Usage Tests [2600K]
...
I, personally, have mixed feelings about more than 2 monitors per computer for multiboxing. So far, it would
seem that I'm alone when I say I take a performance hit and my FPS becomes "spikey" if...
Sorry, I've really kinda been dicking around lately. I did do an initial 5-box HT / non-HT test and HT showed
good gains over non-HT. I was able to peg the non-HT 2600K at its stock clock on a few...
I am definitely wanting to do the 5 boxing WoW and RIFT tests ASAP as well. My last day of class is tomorrow
so expect something for it very soon (most likely this week.)
I was curious about that as well but I don't have a 1366 chip to test with. =\
Accepting donations!
There was a prior discussion (starts around page 3) on Intel's Hyper-Threading here on the forums and I just wanted to do my own quick test on a 2600K before my trials ran out on this 10 box setup.
...
EVGA actually offers a GTX 560 2GB SSC and a GTX 560 Ti 2GB. It would seem that although the Ti is
technically better than the non-Ti 560, because it's an SSC card (stock factory OC'd) that it may...
You bet. There has been a lot of talk recently about how powerful the current Sandy Bridge chips could be and
I thought I would just give those theories an initial stress test in World of Warcraft....
