$1500 new comp....1-2 frames when I dual box [SOLVED]

Also, are you running ISBoxer?

no

What core affinity is set for the two instances?

Didn't make a difference when I set specific core affinities.

Does adjusting the in-game settings make a difference?

Setting it on High increased the frame rates to ~15 fps, but it was still very choppy to play

Do you have any other "blended" graphics objects overlaying the game? (ATI hates this in my experience)

No

+1 to disabling crossfire. Unfortunately, sli and crossfire do not seem to work well with WoW, especially when in windowed mode.

did that. it did help slightly, but still crappy.

Also, I know it may seem crazy, but also make sure your system power setting is on HIGH PERFORMANCE.

it was on that already.

Atm, if one of my character is in Org and the other one is somewhere else, the org character would get about 15 choppy frames while the other one would be about 30.

Obvious question: whats the framerate with only one client running?

Whats the load on CPU and GPU like with only one client running?

High traffic areas like Org are _very_ cpu intensive so if your framerate suffers it may be related to your cpu more then to your graphics cards unless there is something completely wrong with those.

Also: whats your interpretation of prime stable (24 hours continuous running prime or "I was able to start it up?")

Turn vertical sync off.

As others have stated, and I had this issue with SLI (no experience with Crossfire), my system consistently performed less with 2 cards in sli than it did with 1. WoW has always hated SLI and Crossfire, and often graphics performance is worse than a single card.

Also, make sure you download the latest video driver from the card makers site. Sometimes Windows doesn't update the right way.

1. CPU: 20%, GPU: 59%
2. prime: over 24 hrs running with zero error

Vertical sync is off.

My main question is: is anyone able to run 2 or more wow with ultra setting on a 24" or larger monitor?
