No I don't tile (check my SS on my web site) I play fullscreen and alt/tab between clients (cause I have 6 monitors I see enough of the world anyways).

Lax should look into that. If you could have all your tiled character in the background (say 4) and the main in the forground full screen that would save some gpu power for sure. But you will lose a LOT of switching time. And coodenated mouse movement might not work (although you dont need to render the world to know where your mouse is). But you might not lose to much switching time if you have a really powerfull gpu like the 580 cause it can render the screen in less the 1/60th of a secound.

Does everyone use coodenated mouse movement (mostly for ground click attacks if you run mellee you don't need it)?

Well, actually the reason to tile is to get common mouse movement on all screens at the same time, and to see more of the world I guess.

If you have a 2 monitor set up, it might not be that bad to put 2 guys on your main screen and 3 guys on the alt screen and do full screen on all, (or 1 and 4) you wont get coodenated mouse movement (although lax might be able to fix it so that you can on background sceens also I am not sure, if that dons't occurs as it is). That would save some gpu power for sure. And switching times are very very fast. And you never have to squint looking at a tiny screen.

Also I am not sure that the rendering thing dosn't work with "windowed (fullscreen)" checked or not Ill do more tests on that later.

Now that I think about it I can set my background fps to 60 like my forground (or at least 30) given taht there is no rendering .... make my auto follow tight.
