Patch 8.1.5 DirectX

[Azzbringer]

For me the ram usage is more or less the same. I run 15 clients on 1 pc with 32gb ram.
But since the patch my gpu memory usage has gone from 60-70% to 100% despite using same settings on all clients. The results are same in DX11 and DX11 legacy.

I'm now experiencing short freezes on all clients every few minutes.

I was having this as well - Dedicated GPU memory was at 10GB and Shared GPU at 2GB. Random visual freeze, although the affected character would still follow and cast. I tried disabling Triple Buffering in the advanced settings. Everything seems fine, now back to 7.8GB dedicated GPU. I hope that's the solution.

I think I did something similar, it's working better now. I played around with different settings so I can't tell for sure what worked.

This makes me wonder, does having 2gpus help out with vram in regards to how many games you can run?
Right now 8gb seems not to be enough any more to run more than 15 clients.

If you're using SLI, then no, VRAM is not pooled together, it is mirrored across the GPUs.

However, if you have multiple GPUs each hooked up to their own display with a custom Window Layout to avoid cross-GPU "contamination," then yes.

So the GPUs would still be on the same motherboard, just not connected to one another?

Assuming you're running a single-PC setup, yes, but we're getting a bit off topic here. If you wish to know more about "splitting the load," then there is an entry on the ISBoxer Wiki (which could probably be slightly updated at this point), or, if you would like to discuss this further, then please create a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum.

Apologies, there's just so much to learn about the whole multiboxing subject. I get too excited. 😌
I will check out the Wiki. Thank you.
