Thread: New Video Card

    You are talking about CPU usage but it's not entirely clear (to me) what you mean. I'm guessing you are looking the that windows task manager thingy? You will see 4 graphs (one for each core), is one core at 100% or all? Or is it the bar graph on the left side that is at 100%?

    Because if one of your cores is getting 100% load but the others aren't then I would suggest you look at ISBoxer's CPU settings.

    Any chance you could point me in the right direction for a PSU that will run those cards ?

    Would this be any good ?

    Although expensive.....Probably the last PSU you will ever need. (1.2kw @ 100a)

    I'm getting a new gpu to upgrade my computer for 5 to 8 boxing.
    I ordered this one : SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7950 OC 3GB for 300€
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102963

    Seems nice, 3Go are usefull for multiboxing, the gpu seems good and can be overclocked easily to be just 5% less efficient than the 7970.

    So it will be in pair with a GTX 670, for a lot less money.

    The bad thing is that i not a big fan of amd, bad compatibility with linux, and some games including wow are optimized for nvidia.
    But i checked some benchmark and it seems that the gap is less important without multi-sampling.

    Anyway, even if the game is nvidia optimized, it seems to me better to bet on his cheap 3Go video ram for efficient multiboxing.

    So do you think it's a good idea, or do you have better option for a 300€ card ?
    If i want to use nvidia all the gpu using more than 3Go cost nearly 500€.
    Exept this one, but i think it could be not enought powerfull : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127684
    But i'm still curious about this one, because i remember, back in the wotlk days, when my last gpu was HS, i temporary replace it with a 50$ passive gpu for 5boxing and ... surprisly it was working well. Not perfect but playable. So i'm curious about the real need of a powerfull gpu for multiboxing wow.

    Thank you all for your help,

    I think i may have found what the CPU issue was, when i installed the last patch the game went straight to DX11 so before starting i set it back to DX9 at the start game menu. I never knew there was another option that needed to be changed back in the in-game menu System > Advanced . I set it back to DX9 there also and CPU usage dropped by 30'ish %.

    Thanks all for the help and advice.
