Input from those running multiple accounts on one machine.

[Teslah]

Hey everyone,

Up to level 18 so far with 5 accounts. I am running 4 of them most of the time with a buddy running a priest.

Is anyone able to run 5 accounts with 25fps or more?

Here is what I am getting.

0-3 accounts about 25fps.
4 accounts drops to 11 to 17 fps.
5 drops to 8-12 fps.

5 works, but is a pain. People are dropping follow from lag and so on.

Does anyone have a rig that can run all 5 accounts at 30fps on decent settings?

I curently have an i7 950, 2 X 2gig vid cards and 12 gig ram. Not sure an upgrade is going to make a dramatic difference.

Thanks for the input.

I run all my 5 accounts at around 35 FPS( ofc it gets lower down to 10-20 when im in a major rift or city) I run with I7 930 2x 5870 and 12g RAm nothing overcloked yet, waiting for my watercooling to get the CPU higher, then i hope i can get some more frames.. what graphics cards are you using?

I have two GTX 295 2gig cards in the machine, so 4gigs video ram. Wondering if upgrading them would make a massive difference or just a slight difference.

As far as i know the SLI Nvidia Optimization was not in yet, unless it was patched in the yesterday/for release day. They stated in their head-start podcast interview that they only had the ATI Crossfire optimization in. Last i heard is they were still working with Nvidia to get that done. Ill see if i can find any patch notes pertaining to SLI/dual Nvidia updates.

Depends on how many monitors you use, if you only use 2 monitors you wont need more then 2 bg vid ram.. 4 gb should be fine if you want to run more (cant say 100% sure tho, ive never run more then 2 monitors) maby you should try and clock the cards abitt, if your cooling can handel it

I would assume you mean on 1 machine, as i run 5 accounts on 5 separate machines, and there FPS is 25 to 40 on low rendering, minus my main machine which has 45+ FPS.

Yep, one machine. I can do it, it looks ok, but at times it gets a little slow.

I run all my 5 accounts at around 35 FPS( ofc it gets lower down to 10-20 when im in a major rift or city) I run with I7 930 2x 5870 and 12g RAm nothing overcloked yet, waiting for my watercooling to get the CPU higher, then i hope i can get some more frames.. what graphics cards are you using?

I have a liquid cooled system and am not seeing your numbers.

Did you change any other settings or do anything else to the game or your computer to get the higher numbers? I can get 10-12fps during rifts with 5 copies running on one system, but I have never seen 35fps for each of the 5 clients all running at once out in the wilderness.

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.
