    I was running some tests tonight, and I figured that I'd see how much CPU my clients were eating up. Surprisingly enough, not very much at all.

    2880x1620 x5 / 60/15 FPS / DX11 / Ultra Preset / ~10% CPU
    2880x1620 x5 / 60/15 FPS / DX11 / High Preset (SSAO Low) / ~10% CPU

    Obviously I'm not in a large-scale battle, but Elwynn Forest is a great place to push your hardware if you can't access Pandaria or Draenor. You can see both the Task Manager, as well as the overlay in the bottom left of the main game client to see what loads were on my hardware. Also, I agree with the others... If you can't figure out what's pegging six cores at 100%, then throwing two additional cores at it is unlikely going to fix much of anything.

    Just to be clear, we are talking about the retail version of World of Warcraft, correct? Playing on a private server is not going to be the same as retail WoW, and therefore wasting everyone's time and effort in assisting you.

    In addition to a diagnostic, a capture state may also prove useful. As per Lax's instructions:

    In the in-game ISBoxer Control Panel; press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+G to bring it up and click the debug tab (all the way to the right), then click CaptureState. This does a Copy with some info for you to Paste. Things like the resolution of each window, the game window size, whether it's set to fullscreen or windowed, etc.
    Then paste it to pastebin for us to look at.

    Do not send me a PM if what you want to talk about isn't absolutely private.
    Ask your questions on the forum where others can also benefit from the information.

    state capture: http://pastebin.com/ut7J71de

    note: I have resetted the resolution .. let me know if I need to change this back ...

    Again! big thanks to all the hardware people who are trying to figure this out!

    In normal area, there is no problem, I could probably run high settings, but it's the fights at Alterac valley first boss defence.
    As soon as people start to enter, freezing begins.

    Yes we are talking about the retail version of wow ;-)

    I hope this is the issue...
    Wait, what the what? There's a hack someone can use to lag out other people? That doesn't lag out the person using it?

    Do not link to software which blatantly breaks the TOS of the game you're playing.

    So for starters, I'd try without Mumble running, or at the very least ensure that the mumble overlay is disabled if it is not already. This is on the Tweak for Framerate page of ISBoxer. http://www.isboxer.com/wiki/HOWTO:Tweak_your_framerate

    You also might ensure that InnerSpace and WOW are running the same "bitness" as per this post. http://www.isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=7091
    While you are launching, so the initial reason for that post is resolved, this will help eliminate any other potential crossover on this issue.

    If you are using wireless, then use wired (I'm not sure this was ever answered), I think it was just left as a don't do it, and assumed that you weren't doing it.

    One thing you might want to look into is addons. They can bring down fps and make the CPU work harder.

    as others as mumble overlay is a nogo and the team speak one is bad.

    And do not use. Amd gmaimg app or rapir that thing is evil when boxing.

    One option for getting your GPU requirements down is to run your overlapping boxes on one monitor at about two thirds size, over a black dxnothing and then fill the dxnothing sides/bottom with your mini feeds. I did this with rift when I was getting bottlenecked.

    I think this did the trick. the same bitness that is
    I can even run higher quality settings now!
    Thanks to everyone who helped me find the problem!
