Easy performance boost

Set max fps to 1

Anything below 10FPS can cause problems with following.

I plan on boxing 8-10 toons on that i7, and have heard previously it's not possible since WoW sux at multi-threading

Where did you hear that? While WoW wasn't originally designed to take advantage of multiple cores I am able
to spread out the CPU load equally across all of my cores (both logical and virtual) just fine.

And from your original post (prior to the edit) the 980X and 990X aren't coming down in price. Extreme Edition
CPUs don't come down in price. You're looking to run 8-10 characters and this can be done with your i7 920
granted you have a good enough video card. Also, a current 2600/2700 CPU for one third of the price of a
980X/990X can do this even easier.

Regardless by resizing my windows to 800x600 I was suddenly able to box one more toon for a total count of 4 on this one(as well as browse the internet on 1 tab nevermind some bigger news sites) so maybe it'll be possible to box at least 7-6 toons on the i7

Other people have been using those 1366 i7 processors to 10 box for over a year now if not longer. I know
Kicksome (a member of this forum) has been 10 boxing just fine on his first gen i7 920 for quite some time.

From a thread I made on MMO champ

980X/990X can do this even easier.

Yeah sadly I had already bought a i7 920(used) when I heard this, so it was still cheaper to buy a new motherboard for 160€ than to pay 180€+60€ for a new i5-2400&motherboard

How does graphics card affect the performance though? Isn't it more about CPU and RAM than graphics?

I'll need to search Kicksomes posts for more information then, thx

If you don't have enough video RAM to hold all of the textures or you don't have a strong enough GPU to
handle what the game is demanding then you're going to get low FPS regardless of how fast your CPU is.

As is with any game, you should at least have a mediocre CPU and GPU if you want to play games at a decent
level of performance. This is especially true for us who multibox and put more load on both the CPU and GPU.

Interesting.. Well I have the GTX 275 wich I think is quite adequate for the job. Thank you anyways though.
