I will try disabling the improvements and see, in regards to my slaves no they run at 30 fps in background 60 on my main.

Hi Rocknard. I have a similar issue since 8.1. Before yesterday I could easily run 5 toons. Last night I saw that my main memory is full when I have 5 wow clients running. Each wow.exe takes 3GB and I only have 16GB total, so Windows starts swapping to the temporary pagefile and everything slows to a crawl.

I looked through your screenshots but I didn't see anything about your PC's memory. Did you look at Task Manager while running your 5-box?

I'm pretty sure your issue stems directly from the fact that you upgraded from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, which is a 300% increase in pixel count and requires a lot more resources to run.
