Hey, my goal is to find out if I need to update my hardware or if I can try some tweaking in order to get this to work. I know it is most likely the first and most expensive that is gonna be the solution.

I started multiboxing mid BFA with 4 druids and the game ran fine on mediumish settings. Then I jumped over to classic and started to 5 box, it went just fine on medium settings there as well.

However I started 5 boxing again in this prepatch and I am struggeling alot with low framerate,stutter and long wait times at times.

I've dropped the settings on 4 of the "slaves" down to 1 on the in game scale, with vsync DISABLED, I've also put the resolution to 1920x1080 but then dropped it down to 61%.

On the master/driver I am running 1920x1080 and I cannot feel a difference between 1-5 on the in game scale, with most things in the advanced menu at the lowest/disabled. Running all 5 characters on dx11 legacy, I have tried dx12 as well.
I've tried to disable avast (antivirus), battlenet, etc. ofc I am not having any webrowser running at the same time.

One thing I though of now that I have no idea if it will make any difference is having the 4 slaves on my second monitor would help? Someone wise has to answer that for me.
