AMD Threadripper 2950X versus i9 line?

[Kayley]

Hiya

I actually agree in that some things don't add up. So I backed up my config, deleted WoW, reinstalled and did the same tests (stricter).

Sorry Mirai I thought I made it clear (I failed) that I had my main running along with the 'slaves' (not this time). I tried my best to close down any other programs that might intefere with the testing. 30 accounts running, 20fps background, settings 1, triple buffering disabled, reduce input lag disabled, msaa none, multisample alpha Enabled, Post-process AA none, resample quality none, Graphics API DX11, physics interaction player only, UI scale on max. Here I let it 'record' via hwinfo for 7 mins so you can get the idea of the averages etc. CPU0 is being used by windows to manage everything I assume. No WoW processes are attached to it.

This is my Main, I changed the resolution to 2986x1680 to match yours. Settings are 10, everything enabled except Vertical Sync. Here
I said I would chug down to 45-55fps in boralus usually, same time of day, same crowded area... yet after the reinstall I have 79-85 fps and my 980ti is being utilized more. I can only assume I had changed a config file in the past and forgotten about it. Double and triple checked everything was on the highest ingame setting.

It's monday and I'm at work etc now, but the coming weekend I can do what wowbox40 suggested and film it externally with the usage monitors up. Until then I dunno.

*pagefile*
haha, before when I let windows assign the pagefile size my PC would eventually BSOD due to lack of Memory with 21 accounts + me on my main. I dedicated a SSD to it (pagefile) and now I run 30 accounts with my main + a stupid amount of random crap and it says I have 10gb RAM spare. It's insane.

*second edit*
We have two data entries Mirai. Yours and mine. Is there any standardised benchmarking tools we can use to simulate this mboxing load?

*third editzzzzzzz*
Can I please have a HWinfo report like the one I gave so I can see what your power draw, VRAM usage (etc) is like too? Just 5 mins standing around a crowded boralus (if alliance) or you wailing on a turnip in dalaran. tyty.

You helped build this pc years ago and I really don't mind you remote logging in to poke around at some point.
My ISBOXER profile is basic-- I literally just set the cpu wizard to no strategy then assigned the 'slaves' the bottom half of the CPU and the main the top half.
