Pulling my hair out LOW FPS

[Ualaa]

Before my upgrade I was running a similar system to yours.

Q6600, stock speed.
8gb DDR2 ram at 800mhz
150gb Raptor 10,000rpm
Nvidia 8800 GTX and later Sapphire 4870 X2
Vista Home Premium 64-Bit.

When the 8800 was in the system I was using Keyclone. Could get 30 FPS in Shattrath on the slaves and up to 60 on the main.

With the upgrade to the 4870, one account could run smooth with much higher settings then the 8800. But with five running, I had to severely lower the FPS or slave toons would freeze during flight paths. This was still with Keyclone. I had slaves set to 8 FPS and the main capped at 30 FPS.

With a worse processor and graphics card (8800) I had better FPS, running 5 toons.
There has to be a setting or configuration somewhere.

there is a difference in how innerspace does things ( adjust me if i im wrong here ) , but innerspace will render all screens at the same resolution and then scale it down all the time while others like keyclone will render main screen in f.ex 1600x1080 , client screens in 640x500 * 4 . . innerspace will however render screen 5*1600x1080, then scale them down so a little extra performance drop is to be excpected ?. anyways he should be able to run innerspace without much slowdown. on low wow is extremely little resource mongering.
