I got bored last night so I thought I'd see how far I could push my hardware.











All windows are rendering at 1920x1080 with instant swapping enabled. Even with 30 screens there is zero
lag while swapping between any of them. Main @ 60FPS / Slaves @ 10 FPS. I would advise against taking
these 30 characters into a major city anywhere near peak times as you can see my system RAM is almost
maxed out.

I split the GPU load between my video cards and they are rendering 15 clients each. As you can see I could
have put all 30 on a single card and I would have still been way under the 3GB limit. This is of course using
DX9 since DX11 would have most likely maxed out the VRAM. If your interest is to box as many characters
as you can on a single machine it's unlikely that you care how high your video settings are anyway.

I would say running 20 on a single machine would allow you the system RAM headroom you would need to
visit major cities and PvP with; although, it would still be cutting it close during intense situations.
