Inconsistent FPS while 5 boxing

[MiRai]

not a real improvement, Not sure what to do next. If I assign the affinity for each wow other than the main to be on only one core, physical or virtual? Or should I try and double up, and give the 2 remaining cores 2 wows each? I'm going to focus on fine tuning my overclock. I've gotten it as highas 4.3GHz but it was not stable. 4.2 was stable for the most part, but still, not quite 100% stable. Seems to be stable at 4.0, I'm running a prime95 burn in test to see if its fully stable at 4.0. I'll see how close to 4.2 I can get and still be stable. Then I'll focus on tweaking wow again. I'll also try spreading around the GPU load, but that may not work, at least in Vista running on more than 2 monitors was a huge FPS drop.

I would first try just using all 8 cores for each slot. If that is crap then just try using 1, 3, 5, and 7 for all of the slots and let windows handle the virtualization. If that is still crap turn off the hyper threading in the BIOS and then double check your ISBoxer config and keep all slots assigned across all cores and see what happens. I guess... last but not least I would build a window layout that uses 1 monitor only just for test purposes and see if that has any impact what-so-ever [or you could try this first before messing with CPU affinity].

If I enable multi monitor SLI, would that help any? I'm pretty sure it wont, as wow is mostly CPU bound in all the benchmarks I've seen. Also, I'm running my memory a little under spec to keep the ratio right. Would increased memory clock speed help any? All the review's I've seen seem to say that the caching on the CPU has gotten so efficient, that ram speed is not as important these days.

I can't speak positive for SLI while multiboxing, everyone so far has had improvements by disabling it. You have newer 4xx cards so anything is worth a shot if the above doesn't give any change. I doubt the memory clock would do much if you're already at 4GHz unless you've really really really loosened the timings.
