How to further Improve Performance?

Hello

Im running 4 Clients of D3. I have a Problem with lags. Recently it started to fail braodcasting... With WW BArb that sucks because sometimes two of them stop whirling and get stuck and die in between a mob.

My system atm:
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
Radeon HD6870
Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM
and fwiw Gigabyte GA-870A

What i allready did:

1.) i lowered the FPS ingame and in ISBoxer to 18 FPS. Also, i set 3 Cores to each Client.
Client 1 Core 1-3
Client 2 Core 2-4
Client 3 Core 3-5
Client 4 Core 4-6

2.) Set my poweroption to performance (if that hepls)

3.) changed everything in Win7 to lowest. (turned off glasdesighn and that stuff)


I still dont have a clue where the broadcasting "Lags" come from.
Any advice to improve my performance? Can i actually expect to run 4 D3 clients with 18 FPS without lagging?

Thanks for any advice.

Work through this: http://isboxer.com/wiki/HOWTO:Tweak_your_framerate.

I'd particularly look at in-game settings and CPU strategy but it could, of course, be anything else mentioned on that page.

thanks. i´ll have a look thrugh this

I dont really get the Resolutionthing... i tried to run one main client with my standard resolution and the other three with lower resolution. somehow the cursor is fked up :/

Cursor position is directly tied to that resolution. To fix it with different resolutions, go into your Repeater Profile and set it to Scale to fit.

nice... works alot better... hardly any lags now

Ok.... its still somehow fucked up... -.-* its still laggin to that point where its harldy any fun to mulitbox...

My system atm:
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
Radeon HD6870
Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM
and fwiw Gigabyte GA-870A

as i said. those are my systemspecs.. Can i expect it to run D3 decently okayish ? Is there anyone with any comparable systems who can MB d§ without big probs?

Here are my adjustments so far:

- set windows 7 performing settings to lowest.

- set CPU usage to 100%

- lowered resolution on 3 Clients to lowest (only run on on full resolution)

- set FPS (both foreground and background) to 18 FTP - in D3 AND ISBoxer

still, the game goes down to 12 FPS -.-

i pretty much worked through the whole ISBoxer increase performance post, but i just cant imagine my sixcore CPU to be to weak o.o
If i see other multiboxers on stream they run it with 30 FPS.. and all clients on high resolution -.-

If you have any ideas i really would appreciate help....

- set windows 7 performing settings to lowest.

I hope you mean lowest quality / higher performance.

- set FPS (both foreground and background) to 18 FTP - in D3 AND ISBoxer

Uncheck D3's FPS limiter settings. You only want EITHER ISBoxer, OR the game limiting FPS, not both.

1.) i lowered the FPS ingame and in ISBoxer to 18 FPS. Also, i set 3 Cores to each Client.
Client 1 Core 1-3
Client 2 Core 2-4
Client 3 Core 3-5
Client 4 Core 4-6

I would use the CPU Strategy and pick "Select all CPUs with every window". Your selection of CPU cores is kind of weird because some of the cores are under-utilized while others are over-utilized. Core 3 is used by 3 game instances, while core 1 is only used by 1 game instance. This means core 1 has 3.2GHz for one game instance, but core 3 is going to effectively divide that by 3 (i.e. 1GHz per instance), so performance is just not going to be smooth...


If you need further help after doing BOTH of these suggestions, please get me the data from Open Hardware Monitor as detailed under the "Identifying framerate bottlenecks" section of the framerate guide
