First Time multiboxer

[Chivalrous]

So i see all your toons are different? Druid, Pally, Hunter, Shaman and Warrior... though they all had to be the same?

89.94?? 14.xx * 5 = $75

Maybe ill just upgrade my system, prob to a 3930k based system, seems like one of the best around

I pay for 6 accounts. My wife plays also, and you can have any class composition you'd like.

Not sure if it will be fun at all but i can try on my current system to do it, by transfering a single toon to another account so it would be mage+priest...

Will my system run that?

[Chivalrous]

Like mirai told you above it would be best if you created trial accounts to test your system.

Probably, but if you are worried about it I would suggest a trial account first.

Ok now that you understand the investment required, please don't go into how ISBoxer costs $15 and if there's a free version or a crack for it.

[SuperMiguel]

Well it doesnt run very well on 3-4 accounts so i went ahead and ordered the parts for a new system here are the specs:

i7-3930k
Corsair Dominator 64BG
Asus P9X79
HX1050 PSU
580 GTX 4GB
and a single 60GB SSD (Flaw)

Now i was thinking to get another 580 GTX and do SLI with it... Worth it?>

Well, that Chivalrous fella gave two pieces of advice earlier in the thread and one of them was SLI is NOT good for boxing, not at all.

If you need more evidence--I purchased two EVGA nVidia GTX 560ti cards when I built my new system and ran them SLI--It didn't perform well, and when I disabled SLI and used the cards for seperate monitors I received a huge performance boost. If I could do it again I would have bought a 500 dollar card instead of 2 250 dollar cards. SLI isn't supported by WoW and generally only works in full screen mode which you will never be in most likely.

How about running then like you one card per monitor, any diff than running both monitors out of a single card?

I ran 1 card per monitor for a while. It worked well enough, except you can't run the second card with DX11, which means my main ran on DX11, but my slaves were forced to DX9. Also, the slaves were pretty unhappy swapping to the main screen/card when they were configured for the secondary card. My last system upgrade, I moved to a single card and it's IMO smoother.

I run with a card for each monitor but on my main monitor I have all screens stacked and the other is just DX_Nothing and videoFX. It works--but probably isn't much different than it would be on just a a single card. That's why I wish SLI had worked for me.
