How do you get perfmon to show GPU usage?

Get GPUZ. Google it. Download it. Run it while multiboxing.

It is the GPU perf mon. A very good tool.

You may find this on your system in Dalaran while multiboxing ->

from perf mon-->

Ram usage 68-88%
CPU 80-100%

from gpuz-->

GPU 30-40%

These are the numbers I get. I 5 box on 2 monitors. I have a q9550 (quad core 2.83 ghz), 8gb ddr 800 ram, ati 4850x2. I have all resolutions at 1920x1200 for all 5 wow clients. Slaves have all video options at the minimum. Main is max video with max viewing distance with shadows set on minimum. I get 20-30 fps in dalaran while slaves are maxed to 15 fps. I also have a Intel xm-25 SSD dedicated to WoW using symlynked folders. I run windows vista ultimate 64 bit. I have found that on my system that the CPU is the bottleneck if I go higher graphic settings. WoW uses the CPU primarily for graphics is what I conclude from this. So if I were to upgrade anything, it would be motherboard+cpu.
