Planning to upgrade. How many clients can you use with 32GB ram? (Planning to get Ryzen 3600 or 3700X.) Minimum quality small resolution (~80x40 or smaller).
EDIT: Looking for memory usage in Main city ( SW / Orgrimmar). Lordaeron server should provide a decent benchmark during primetime (and has no qeue).
The CPU will not be a issue, can run 60 accounts with a 5820K. The 32 GB of ram will allow more than 30 accounts, could even run 60 if your GPU is great and 64GB of ram. the GPU will be the determining factor, however, decreasing GPU Settings and FPS of the slaves will allow you to run it great on your main.

WotLK main city at primetime (e.g. ~6k online ) ? That seems quite good actually.Quote:

I don't suggest following this as it contains a lot of false information.Quote:

(Take into account that 3rd party software like renderdisabler to improve performance is "in theory" not allowed)
- Saying CPU ain't important is bs, CPU is probably the most important.
- GPU will definetly NOT be the determining factor. (I run a 1080ti for 40 chars and it NEVER caps (my settings => all 40 slots on 1920x1080, videosettings low on 39/40, the main char has tweaked graphics)
May I ask what you're aiming for in multiboxing? Personally I would advise you to wait for the new Ryzen 16 core. add that 2060 super to it with 32gb ram and you will be able to run quite a few chars. If you plan to multitask and do stuff on your pc while boxing I suggest 64gb ram.
I ran into a video of the owner of IsBoxer doing a 60 char stress test
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2YmRT4EGd4
Pretty impressive for a 6 core processor
That's not WotlK, hardware optimisation is completely different in newer patches. in MOP you could probably run 2/3x more chars than you can on WOTLK (with the exact same hardware).Quote:

EDIT: Tell me your name in-game and we will talk there. :D
Mainly BGs & the occasional city raid.Quote:

Looks like CPU is going to be capping much earlier than RAM. The price jump to 3900 (or a new threadripper) along with needing more ram seems a bit too much for me. Also the need for more ram in addition to a better CPU would put me over budget (~1100€-1500€ ish). I also play other games than WoW so keeping that in mind I shouldn't put too much money in this until If I know how much I'm gonna play.
I think I go with RAM: 32GB RAM, CPU is either 3700X OR 3600. So 15-25 clients.
What's your current GPU?Quote:

By picking a high end mobo to start off your system will still be overclockable if you ever get an upgrade on your CPU.
I overclocked my 2990wx to 4.1 ghz on all 32 cores and the difference in performance is day and night.
Radeon HD 6650M.
I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon. By the time I upgrade (2025 + ) my mobo won't be able to support the new CPUs.
I see, well.. do you want a whole new pc? if not wich parts do you plan to take from current pc into the new one?Quote:

I'm on a laptop atm. So cant use anything (except external display, mouse, kb). Price will be roughly 1400 in eu area: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/yq3cQZ
By swapping to 3600 the price would drop more. I'm also considering RX 5700 XT for GPU, but AMD cards cant run tensor-flow training on GPU on windows 10. ROCm library only works on Linux AFAIK. Using virtualbox to run it might not work? I still need to figure if it works or not before I can decide on the card.
EDIT: Had some bad experiences with my current Radeon card on laptop. The drivers wouldn't recognize the GPU when I installed the new drivers. For this reason I'm a bit hesitant about Radeon card.
Very strange, can confirm I can run up to 20 or so Pwnboxer accounts until my games start to decrease in performance.
Can run around 30 accounts just fine anywhere, and 60 when making a chain of Death Knights to from SW to STV for spam death gripping people into dueling zone outside SW, the 60 accounts tho decrease in performance if I go to Wintergrasp and Dalaran, but I don't play those much.
Edit: Forgot to mention that for some reason when I multibox with Isboxer, can run near double the accounts than with any other boxing program
I'll post a link in the weekend to give you my opinion.Quote:

I've seen better intel CPU's perform a lot worse. Gotta see it to believe it really :)Quote:
