Help Please? Extreme Choppyness (2fps) when second account connects?

[erfb0und]

Hey guys. New to dualboxing. I'm trying to run two accounts on a single box/monitor and I keep running into a problem. When I run both windows, they are smooth up until I enter the world with one character. I can have both windows at the character select screen and they are fine (60fps) but the moment one character enters the world, both windows get extremely choppy and drop to about 2 fps. I have a dual core opteron and tried setting the affinity of each core to seperate windows but no luck. I am also using seperate directories and have tried just resizing the windows and messing with resolutions but get nothing. Appreciate any help.

22" Samsung LCD @ 1680x1050
Opteron 170 Dual Core OCd @ 2.2ghz
XFX 9800gt 512mb
2gb Dual Channel G.Skill Ram.

have you tried actually turning down your video settings (not just resolution)? there's a lot of extra eye candy since 3.0.2 went live, try turning shadows all the way down.

Lol bingo that worked haha. Had everything maxed and didnt think it would tax it down from 60fps to 2. Took settings down to minimum and both are running at 50fps now. Thanks :thumbsup:
