Would my PC 5Box efficiently? - Multiboxing in World of Warcraft and Beyond!

Spetty · 07-11-2009, 12:52 AM

Hey just wondering if my computer will 5box wow fine.

Heres the specs:

Processor- AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core 2.3 ghz
RAM- 7gigs DDR2
Video Card- ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 DDR3

Should this be enough to run 5 wows with constant 50-60fps?

Thanks

imo its fine, but i would reduce the fps of the clients.

you really don't need more than 30 fps in wow.

Just Limit the slave fps, and let the mains fps go as high as it can (mine gets 80+ sometimes =P)

Yup that'd be fine.

I'd do this:

In Pwnboxer (of course!) set the main game to have 1x core, and maybe 30-50fps max, 20background.
Your other 4 games, set them all to share core 2, and set max fps to 15-20, and background to about 7-10
Set main game graphics to high, or disable it in pwnboxer and do it yourself.
Set other 4 game graphics to low in pwnboxer.

Then start pwning!

im running a similar setup on my wow machine, but i have the phenom x3 (8650) and a HD4830 (overclocked).

it runs pretty smooth with all 5 for me.
