question for you guys/gals using one computer

Excellent video Fenril.

You have one main screen that you showed and then the alts are tiled 3X3 on the other monitor? Are the 3X3 resolutions same as the main? How fast is switching? Or in this video there is only one monitor and all the alts are in the background? What FPS in background? The follow looks very smooth though.

This is with a 3G 580 was that what you have?

We need to start posting our systems in our sigs or something ....

Yes, all windows were @ 1920x1080 with instant swapping. As for the rest, check the pic below. In the very
beginning of the video I had around 50FPS and it would seem that perhaps the water was causing it since
that was the only time I was really near water -- More testing needed obviously.

Screenshot was taken prior to the video test (where I sorta did a UI test as well). Main window MIGHT only
be on High settings in the screenshot I don't exactly remember. I didn't document everything since I didn't
think I would necessarily be sharing these before doing more testing. I still have some time left on the 10
day trials so I can maybe try something again in the next few days

...I would also recommend at least a 64GB SSD for WoW since some folks who had smaller drives had problems with large patches and their drives running out of space during the actual process of patching...

I read this before, and its still in my brain. I am considering this as an option also.

I still have an older model seagate 160GB HDD 7200 rpm. Is it better to have the operating system on the HDD and WoW on the SSD? or vise versa?

When I picked up my SSDs I picked up 2 for this exact reason... because I wasn't sure which I would rather
have on a single drive since I do more than play WoW. I would guess that if I had to only choose one drive...
that it would be for WoW.

Ya you put wow not the operating system on the SSD.



You are using a lot of your system ram without any problems, 12G for 10 clients (let that be a notice to others that at 12G system ram you are really pushing the limit of 10 boxing). 16G minimum for acceptable10 boxing.

Otherwise looking like the 580 3G is the way to go.

Only if you're not cool enough to have more than one SSD.
