Optimum Multiboxing Performance - Thoughts on two systems

[Chumbucket]

I currently run some ridiculous video settings (Ultra+ / DX11) on 5 clients at 1920x720 and, from what I've tested so far, can hold a steady 30/30 fore/background FPS when there's a bunch of other players around.

When I did some 20/30-box testing on my old machine, I ran into an issue that you might describe as "thread lag" . . . It didn't actually seem to affect me playing the game, but I did want to re-test this stuff now that I have a much more powerful machine.

I watched your system upgrade video. Really nice work all around. Mmmmm cherry peppers....
Just curious, do you build systems professionally?

Also, it would be interesting to see how your upgrades boosted performance visa vie more accounts.

If you're looking to build some ultra top-end machine with water cooling and all of that, then I wouldn't recommend you try doing that for your first system; but if you were going to put together a few machines, then it would be easier to troubleshoot things because you'd have identical hardware in the other machines that you could troubleshoot with if any issues arise. I guess if you were willing to try piecing together your own, you might try searching on YouTube for recent videos of people putting together their own stuff.

I'm thinking I may expand my gaming hobby into building 2 simple systems. Time is a factor, but after watching a number of videos it seems to have a charm of its own.

Oddly enough, most of those "interesting improvements" have been present in ISBoxer for quite some time and most people don't even know them -- Except Menus, which I was using as glorified Click Bar buttons and are relatively new.

I started that series (which isn't dead and is just on hold, by the way ) with the intention that I would show how someone who multiboxes can look to make improvements to their profile and how it can evolve over the course of time, as well as, just show some general multiboxing with an attempt at semi-interesting, but not all that exciting, narrative.

I wasn't even aware of the Pro config until fairly recently. It's impressive. The videos really help. <3 the Video FX AOE heal!! I really appreciate the time and quality you put into them. Especially helpful are the tips and the .5 episodes.

Yea we left last week, the world pvp is crazy there on Darkspear, there are a ton of boxers on both sides. We crashed the server twice the first night when we had massive pvp events with the other boxers. Ruinous also transfered to play along with Prepared. It took them 4-5 full raid groups for them to kill us in their shrine.

Sounds fun!! Hope to see you in game in the next several weeks.

I run 6 accounts each on two machines (2011 intel socket asus sabertooth x79) and 4 accounts each on 4 old 2 core amd machines. I have 6 1920 X 1200 monitors. I don't tile but can see 6 out of my 28 accounts in 1920 X 1200.

Thanks for sharing your setup Sam. How many fps are you pulling and at what settings?
