Extreme CPU/RAM usage

I'm going to go ahead and start off with I'm very new to ISBoxer and I'm not running a very optimized system for the amount of clients I want to run.

Despite this BEFORE running EVE through innerspace I can run 8 clients with about 85% ram usage and 88% cpu usage.

When loading only 5 clients through innerspace i have 95% ram usage and nearly always 100% cpu usage.

Anything that will lower the monstrous amount of resources these clients are soaking up would amazing.

All game clients are set to the absolute minimal settings.

can you post your system specs?

are you using dx9 or dx11? try both and see if one or another is better

also turn off resource caching in the client and see if that helps

I ran them in both dx9/11 and there was very little difference with dx11 using slightly less resources.

Below are 2 images, showing the exact same clients but the HUGE difference in cpu consumption. One launched manually, the other through innerspace

Now my question is how do I make them run in smaller resolutions? When I go through the ingame options it only shows me 1920x1080 and some other 3000+ resolution.

Try this to force DX9

8 gigs of memory isnt a lot, EVE takes around 900m per client at baseline

As for the window layout use the Window Layout Wizard in ISBoxer toolkit

When you use the Window Layout Wizard, there is an option on the right of the screen for 3D Render Size. This is what your game will render at. The Main Window size is what the rendered size will be scaled to. Make sure the 3D Render Size is not using your Eyefinity/Surround Vision size as 3 copies at full size will chew through the resources.
