Input from those running multiple accounts on one machine.

I am running three accounts as follows:

I am using ISBoxer and I have the clients set up to cap at 30FPS when in the foreground and 15FPS when minimized.
I get pretty much 30FPS unless there is alot of activity on the screen.

I also have my main toon set up on Ultra settings all are running at 1920x1200

I have also noticed that over the last couple of days the game is much smoother with less stuttering.

My rig:

Core2Quad 9550
ATI 4970
8GB Ram
Windows 7 64

I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I have a similar setup on Vista Ultimate 64 with an ATI 6850 I just put in there yesterday (up from an Nvidia 9800GT). My frame rates definitely got better, but I am not running the main toon in Ultra by any stretch of the imagination, and I still only see about 20-30 FPS on the main in unpopulated areas. In heavy population, it drops down to 10-15 fps.

Are you running the same resolutions as I am and what are your system specs?

Also, my non-main toons are running on the low render settings.

I suspect that when I hit some buys spots it'll drop considerably.

I need to tool around with my setup and try to get it running more consistently, may cap the background clients to 10FPS and maybe the main window to 25FPS.

Also, need to OC my CPU and GPU and see what difference, if any, that makes.

Just run every on low lol. If its like any new mmo there is always something in your graphcis setting that sucks the life out of your pc. Give it time, it will get smoother.

Draw/view distance usually is a huge one.
Also having all your slaves on one dedicated pc is key, with main on it's own.

Q9550 Quad Core
8GB Ram
Vista Ultimate 64
ATI 6850 1GB Vid Card

Not running on an SSD right now, since I haven't reclaimed it from a different computer, but I expect that will only help a bit.

I did take all 3 off of the low-render setting when I got the new video card, so maybe I'll set the 2nd 2 back to that so that I can get better graphics on the main.

Oh, and I'm running them at 1680x788. Maybe a non-standard resolution is causing it problems, too?
