10 * 3440x1440 - hardware suggestions

[MiRai]

Got up to 8 accounts in Dalaran. FPS dropped to 10-12 FPS at a peak hour. So I think my 10 boxing is put off. I wasn't even in 3440x1440. More like 2752x1152.

Seemed fine around 50FPS in open world though. This is with all slaves at 1 and main at 7 (gfx slider).

You aren't going to be able 10-box at that resolution with 4GB of VRAM. I'll bet you're pushing the limit right now with only five game clients running.

New Dalaran slows down even solo players. I cant bring 5 there without constantly losing follow, stuttering, etc. Everyplace else is fine though, open world, dungeons, raids, lfr even.

Y'all need to upgrade your hardware. Here are some laps in Dalaran

I missed mention of this but that card is a 1080 founders which is listed at 8GB of VRAM. So it's not bad. Main at 7 slaves at 1 in Dalaran comes to lower 30s when running through on 5. It can occasionally crunch to high 20s when running through a pack of players though. Outside of capital cities this feels hardened to me. At least going into the next expansion.

With the GPU prices dropping I may plug another 1080 in or a Ti and spin up another display for another 5 man team. Not sure if I want to do that yet though. Might wait until BFA has been out a while. I guess another option would be to make the slaves 1080p at 16:9 so it's less stress on the lone GPU. But then I lose broadcasting. So eh, pros and cons either way.

Re-reading the thread, I've NFC why I replied with that. I must've had something else on my mind at the time, so I've 'lined out' that reply.

John mentioned his 980 so I'm guessing that's what it was.

Now that you're here..

I did the upgrade to 10 accounts last night. I tinkered a bit and found that my CPU is maxed. Dialing down to 1920x1080 seems to have fixed all that.
