Computer Specs & Requirements.

[Vociferate]

Obviously we all have an idea about what specs we need for WoW, EVE, and others... But what about Rift?

I am running:
AMD 965 BE @ 3.8
8GB RAM
5870GPU
80GB SSD

What is everyone else running?

I have not played Rift at all yet. Are five computers really necessary to box this game??

I have core i7 920, 12 gig DDR3, GF 480 gtx, veloci raptor hard drive.

I can 5 box on my PC with everything turned on lowest setting with a lot of lag ( not fun ) 4 boxing is less laggy, just a tad annoying. 3 is smooth on low settings, gets bit slow if i turn up any settings on my main. I can run 2 with main max details and 2nd screen on low very smooth. I'm guessing the the newer chipsets, ram will help. Is anyone here 5 boxing on one PC smoothly? list your specs if so.

I will start off by playing 3. I want to 5 box it at some point for sure. I will wait and see what other boxers are doing. I might end up splitting the load between a few PCs, but i would rather do it on one PC is possible.

You do not nessicarily need 5 machines i believe, i know of some people like Lyon and many others are 3-5 boxing on a single machine.

I 5-box on 1 machine, the lowest FPS in crowded areas is ~10fps.

i7 960 Quad Core (3.2 GHz, 8mb Cache)
12gb DDR3 Ram
GeForce 570GTX
2 x Raid0 1TB Western Digital something or other HDDs

During Warfronts, I have decent enough FPS, consistent with no stutterring, to play comfortably.

I use an i7 920 with 12g of ddr3 and a gtx 270. I 5 box with pretty good fps. My tips are thus:

1. In ISBoxer, turn on "Make game think it's the foreground window always" option. This boosted my FPS a bit.
2. In the video settings turn EVERYTHING down as far as it can go, and THEN turn on the low quality renderer. Log out with everyone and then log back in. This alone caused me to gain 10fps.
3. I set the main window to cores 1-4 and then each other window gets one core each.

you have what i have basically. ill have to play around with it. Next rig I build will be maxed out spec for sure.

I had to buy another 6g of memory bringing me up to 12 in order to comfortably 4 box. Specs are in my sig

[Vociferate]

What would I need to upgrade to be able to 5 box Rift comfortably?

The game looks fucking amazing.

I am thinking I'll need to upgrade my RAM and Video Card.

Any suggestions?
