Setting up max FPS & background FPS

[Ualaa]

I wouldn't recommend less then 15 FPS now.
Going under that can cause follow issues.

I'm not a PB user, started with Keyclone.. which has one foreground window (whichever one your main screen is, and the other four were background). Have since switched to is boxer, which has five foreground windows all the time; more of a strain on the system, but you can run LotRO which requires every window to be in the foreground, or choose to disable the feature.


Out of curiosity, what are your system specs?
32-bit or 64-bit operating system, which version of windows?
How much ram, what processor, video card, etc?

My main components are:

-windows 7 ultimate 64 Bit

-Intel core 2 quad cpu, Q9550 @ 2,83GHz.

-8 GB of RAM (4 x 2 gb sticks)

-Kingston SNV 425S2 128GB ATA harddrives

-ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 grafixcard (with ati overdrive enabled in catalyst controlcenter)

-Acer G24 monitors (though i always play wow with all windows on one screen, using other to browse the web, musicplayers etc). Havent tried moving some wow windows to the other screen yet. As i can understand the dual grafixcard gives out the most ram where its needed. Dont quate me on that though, im a noob pretty much when it comes to the newer cards that are "2 combined into 1 card". Insight welcome though..

-17 mb/sec internet connection.

-Some close to 1000Watt powersupply, which i cant remember the brandname of.

Edit:
the overall index score is 6,8.

Also ive bumped up the mains window to 60 max and slaves to 15 background. Works like a charm (except when in very busy cities: it works but i get the odd lagspike).

Overall im well pleased considering.

Also, a great tip i discovered (works wonders when up to 5boxing atleast):

I initially had the main toon set to 60 fps max and 15 fps background.

I tried to remove the limit the fps on the main (in pwnboxer and ingame), and now it runs a LOT smoother.

Try it out, maybe it works for you.
