DeathWalkers $1300 SUPER system!

They say the 680 is a better card for multiboxing, and it saves you $400. Check out MiRai's post here:

I guess I'll go with the 690 and see how it does. I'll post back here my results just for kicks

One thing to mention is I use 3 monitors....
(1) 24" for main toon
(1) 20" for the other 4 in an 800x600 configuration (until such a time I implement 10 boxing at least)
(1) 20" set "portrait setting" for looking up stuff while boxing

According to Lax in his GPU management section over at ISBoxer, this should not be a problem.... Thus assigning the 2nd GPU to 2nd 20" monitor
....Is this a correct assumption?

Congratulations Sam! I know how long you have wanted to put the whole folder in Ram. Sounds like you are getting great results. I have a 2500K with a Samsung 64 GB SSD , 8 GB ddr3 1600, and an EVGA 460 2 GB vid card and I am getting about 20-30 fps after this first MoP patch. This is while dual-boxing and it was around 60fps last week. What do you think I should do? I would like to get those fps back up. This is at medium settings by the way. Or whatever they call it now.

So glad you got such a good system!

Check if its texture lag or gpu/cpu to slow lag.

Spin in place so you have to refresh the screen a lot but new characters dont come into view much, if your fps tanks then its gpu/cpu to slow lag.

If it stays about the same (spinning vs. non spinning) then run through org or sw and makes sure a lot of new character come in and out of your view, if it tanks then its texture lag.


IF its cpu/gpu lag you need a faster gpu (although I use a 460 they are a bit dated, just got a 560 but have not installed yet), in your case. If thats not working then upgrade cpu.

IF its texture lag then your SSD is to slow and you need to get that wow folder into ram! Although I still have not even set up the ram drive (but I have 64 bit win 7 professional and it should be using all my ram as a cache I hope).

I get 23-30fps 2 boxing spinning in org.

Running through org goes from 15 to 60 lol ... hard to get consistent results.

But again I do not have the wow folder in ram I have to rewrite all my macros before I can even play.
