Bulldozer vz. Sandy Bridge

That's interesting to hear... 1100T is a multitasking monster with 6 full cores (integer+FPU). Is your CPU affinity per wow instance configured/enabled? I found out this really helps a LOT. Then again, you have 10 toons running... ideally, I read somewhere it's best to have (at the least) one core per wow instance.

-edit- Before I did this upgrade, I was running a Core2Quad Q6600 (mildly OCed @ 2.85Ghz), same setup and video cards. If memory serves right, I was averaging around 22-25 FPS on the three toons that had one core each.... while the two mages (both shared one core) would drop to around 12-15 FPS in IF. (graphics set to "medium" across all toons)

ya i know what i read i should be laughing even 10 boxing i tryed just doing one core per window but find it better doing 1-2 2-3 3-4 4-5 5-6. at the start i was always maxing out my ram 5 boxing so changed that out and now am using a lot less ram. but as soon as i go over into a good gf setting boom! less then 15fps. and its jumpy and lagging to hell.

Then i was on beta and was funny running really really well so went back to live and removed all my addons but like 6 and so far its been great running about 40-80% cpu load using 1.5gb on my gfxcard and its load is like 40% and ram is 50-60% (ten boxing) but as soon as i change any gfcard setting its just kills my fps and cpu is maxing out at 100%.

even though am not even close to maxing out ram/gpu on my card.

i do play on a full server so players = high load even though its not to bad somtimes i just wish i had that bit more. overclocking the system helps loads but i car't get it stable.

so am thinking its my PSU its a 650w (though box says 750w) Its Name is "power cool" *couth* bad move gfxcard says its needs 650w min and on a overclocked system i think that is whats making it unstable. funny thing is my bother was having big prob's in LFR with low fraps and sceen lag and asked me if i know it could be his psu and he changed it and it was. shame i car't use his but its "Installed" well to test to see if that is the prob. let me know what you think.

am sure its not my gpu its a very nice card still and ash has the same one 10 boxing fine.
