Hi, im thinking about 10 boxing wow and im not sure what kind of computer i would need.
I can only use one computer.

I currently have a i7
And a nvidia evga gtx 560 ti.
8gb of ram.

Im wondering what i should be looking at, to upgrade in order to do this flawlesly

Aswell i was multiboxing a few months ago and im not shure what the best software currently is.
Is isboxer still top tier software for multiboxing.

I also want to have a extra account open at the ah so that would make 11 accounts. Though that window could be minimized etc.

Thank you very much.

All help is appreciated .

Don't spam posts. You already have this exact same thread in the new boxers forum.

I know, but i realized it was the wrong section .
Sorry bout that btw.

Ok first of all, you need more Ram.
But if i were you i would have bought more ram and a second computer.
To completly flawless, maybe your computer can runt it properly as it is, but i say that you can and propably might get some lagg in the big citys.

I have a similar setup and when I 10 box I have to drop the slaves to 20fps and master to 40 to not get ugly lag in video rendering. I will probably be buying a new computer when the next intel lineup comes out.

Ahh, well i was planning on just upgrading this computer since buying a new computer is out of question.
I was guessing upgrading my video card and ram was a must.

But since sli isnt enabled for multiboxing im not sure what to do.
Or am i wrong.I remember reading on isboxer the sli as in double video cards was disabled.

So im not sure where i should be heading.

There is a nice forum thread on how much video ram does for you, big thread buy is boxing moderate tp huge amounts of characters. The video ram per account is pretty well worked out.

You should be able to run perfmon while running five copies of the game today and see where you are for resources there. If your motherboard maxes out at 12gb or something small, you have a lot of work cut out for you but its not undoable.

In general, you want enough ram to have 1GB (for the operating system) plus 1GB per character being played.
If you don't have enough ram for this, it is the cheapest upgrade to improve performance.
Without enough ram, you might be able to launch the toons but performance will suck.
You'll need a 64-bit version of window, to be able to use more than 3.2GB (approximately) of total system ram (Ram + Video + Sound memory).

Once you have enough ram, the cheapest upgrade you can do is getting an SSD for the gaming folder.
Not sure if you have one of these or not, based on the limited specs you listed for your system.
For a gaming folder a 64GB lower end SSD is fine; you only need a higher end model if you're putting your OS on it too.

In general, 1GB of video ram (on DX9) is good to run 5 characters or 1.5GB (on DX11).
Again, not having enough video ram might not prevent you from playing, but it will negatively impact your play.
If you upgrade your video card, the double cards (two cards, on one physical card) generally suck for boxing (580 is better than a 590).
The best bang for your buck, is the GTX 670, but it isn't necessarily cheap.

What kind of an i7 do you have?
People have 10-boxed on an i7-920 in the past.
A generation 2 i7, such as an i7-2600K is a much stronger processor.

I do not have a ssd.
I do however have windows 7 64 bit.
And i am running dx 11 so im guessing. 11x 1.5 = 16.5 GB ram.
I do also have the i7 2600k

So i see, so im looking at getting a gtx 670 then i guess.
Also i thought ssd only impacted loading speeds etc.?Im guessing i was wrong.
So im looking at a hell of a big investment i guess to be able to multibox on one computer.Its what i expected.But is the SSD totally necessary?

Would this Video card be good.

Its a evga gtx 670 FTW model. Im unsure of witch i should be heading for since so many subcompanies buy them and overclock them etc.

As to ram.Im guessing buying 32 Gigs of Ram would be the best since i want to have open IE etc.

So something like that but specific for my motherboard/cpu .

Would something around that area be capable of running 11 wow copies. Obviously main on mediocre settings and other ones at low.
Plus IE videos like music etc.

Im also running watercooling so im guessing thats a plus .

I have evga and I like their products.
