My own ten boxing hardware thread!

[MiRai]

@Mirai:
How do I swap from DX11 to DX9?

It's in the game options under Advanced.

Also, I don't think the lag I do get is from my video card--The CPUID shows all my cores at 100% when I'm in org. How do I look at the video card?

@All:
Well, if Mirai suggests the 2600k then that's the answer

Haha. I can also tell you that Kicksome was 10-boxing using a 920, 24GB of RAM, and a GTX 580 1.5GB. I don't know what framerates he had but, the only thing he ever mentioned was laggy was intense PvP fights. He upgraded to the GTX 580 and 24GB of RAM and was happy with that. No idea how major cities were and this was on Kil'jaeden.

I was just hesitant to replace the mobo--I'm just always leery to dick around with them. The question now is, does the mobo make a difference as long as it has 4 DIMM slots?

No, not really. Obviously if you buy a super cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel, motherboard it might not live up to its standards. If you're going the cheap route I would try to find one with a good warranty.

I checked--I was using DX9. I definitely think my processor is my bottleneck. I'll upgrade to the 2600k and see how it spins.

If you're going to upgrade your processor anyways, why not give overclocking it a shot? http://www.overclock.net/t/538439/gu...-930-to-4-0ghz

i7-2600k, 12gb RAM, 2gb 6970, 120gb SSD

Managed to 10 box in Org and fraps this at full size the same time:


Was late night and I do struggle during peak times with the amount of models on the screen however

Was that 2600k overclocked or not?

I remember getting 100% CPU usage when I tried 10 boxing earlier and that was without a fraps. What resolution are you using?

Also, for the OP, those 6 core processors SHOULD be better than the 2600k for multiboxing by all means, and will be almost as cheap as buying new mobo+2600k etc(assuming the new mobo you're looking to buy for the 2600k is in the 260$ range).

I mean, it has six cores and 12mb cache when compared to the measly 8mb of 2600. Im not sure how this translates to overall performance but as it appears to me it should be better in every single way aside from the clock speed and overclocking capabalities.

Nevertheless, you shouldn't be running into any problems for running 10 toons with either one of these boys. Your graphics card could become a problem/bottleneck though, as Mirai has already said.

Everything I have is on stock speeds.

All my wow settings are low except view distance on the main window.

Heres a screenshot from a while ago in molten front (low pop zone but lots of units on the screen)

Thought I would post some performance charts as well. My main gets at least 40 fps in org (non focused windows are capped at 20fps). My video card also has 1g memory for those wondering (honestly,I feel the jump from 1g to 2g isn't that noticable. Correct me if wrong).
