D3 - Computer Builds for Botting

Did some research and I can't really see how the 3770k can perform well without a GPU. The built in hd graphics 4000 is only slightly better than a 520 GT, which is a 30$ video card. If it is like hypeddd says and it is strained at 6 bots, I'd hate to see it close to 10 or more bots.

I hope you guys can prove me wrong, because it sounded really promising.

EDIT: Just to get an idea, the 3770k will run Diablo at 1920x1080, high settings, no AA no AF at ~14 fps average. Obviously this doesn't give a clear image of what it can do, since D3prefs can reduce the requirements by a lot. Hm.

Another edit: What's even more interesting is that AMD's Llano processors are far better in the GPU compartment, and seem to double Intel's performance in the PassMark graphs. Not to mention the A10-5800k which runs a HD 7660D GPU is 115$ while the 3770k is 300$. Any thoughts on this?

When I built my "budget rig" my intent was not only to run Diablo 3. I also build rigs to base for future botting "adventures". D3 is coming to a pretty quick halt in terms of profits. Who knows when it's no longer going to be profitable to bot anymore. You may be able to bot a bunch of D3 with the 3770, but there's no guarantee that you'll be able to bot other games that are more GPU intensive.

Very true, I ended up making a new thread since I didn't want to derail yours more.
 
A few question and info about my experiences.
How do you guys diagnose what is the real bottleneck of the system? I have a i5 3450 cpu and hd 5670 gpu, 12gb ram and an SSD on a win 7 machine. I am running 6 bots atm without issues. CPu load is usually at around % 50-60 but sometimes suddenly jumps to % 90-95. This might be due to a bug in Yar as rrix pointed out since restarting yar usually solves the issue. We have to see how it does after the bug is dealt with. From what I read from the posts here my gpu should suck for running more than 5 bots but gpu is at only % 55 max without any overclocking. Going for a gpu like hd 7850 is a bit overkill I think as well but not sure, have to see what others experience as well. But as pointed out earlier my gpu might be indirectly pushing my cpu as well. I am really confused about this gpu thing.

I am thinking about building another rig as well but cannot decide on AMD FX 6xxx, 8xxx or i5 35xx and about the gpu since I seem to be doing fine with 5670 I am thinking about getting a relatively cheaper and card like hd 7750.

Also what do you think about the hydrid Seagate drive. Is is worthwhile or just go for ssd or 7200rpm hdd?
 
Hey guys, first post here on the demonbuddy forums and definitely won't be my last! You guys seem like a great community and I've already learned so much from you guys, so thanks for that.

I have a $1000 budget to build a machine geared strictly for botting and would like to be able to run as many bots as possible (at least 10). The problem is I don't know much about motherboards or what kind of ram or GPU would be best for Diablo 3 and DB specifically. I was hoping somebody could help me out, this is all I have so far:

System Build - PCPartPicker

I plan on picking up the i7 3770k from Micro Center at $100 off. I am more than willing to compensate whoever can come up with the best build for what I'm trying to accomplish and I feel everybody here on the DB forums has a pretty good idea of whats what.

Thanks again, I'm really looking forward to being a part of the DB community! :)

EDIT: Solved

Build in OP is pretty nice. Personally I'd downgrade the video card and get 32GB RAM as that is almost always the bottleneck in running multiple clients.

3770k GPU running more than 3 bots is a joke

My Radeon HD5870 runs 8+ bots with ease, but my RAM isn't capable of sustaining that many.
 
Hello everyone, can anyone suggest good is this build ?:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti EX KFA2 DDR5 1gb
Chieftec APS-500S 500W
OCZ Vertex 4 64gb + HDD 120gb
AMD FX-8320\8350
Kingston DDR3 KVR 4x8gb or samsung\hynix
ZALMAN CNPS10X Extreme
ASRock 970 EXTREME4 or other good MB 970\990

Overkill unless you play on running a huge number of bots

want to push 10+, now have 4 and 2 clear accounts. (ps: i think first buy 16gb ram)

16gb of ram would be a good choice :P.

-) I'm assuming you're picking up the SSD for a quick boot-up, but if your only use it for botting, why would you waste money to boot up windows quicker?
-) 32GB is a little extreme, pickup 2x8gb sticks for the time being. If you need more, you can always pick it up later.
-) The video card might be a little small.. You want to have a bit more video memory. Take a look into the Radeon HD 7850 2GB VC. They're $189.98 (possibly cheaper on Ebay). Cheap investment considering the power of the card itself.
-) Just make sure the HDD has a high cache rate and a 7200 RPM spindle.
-) 500w PS should easily be enough.
-) FX 8350 - Good choice.


Biggest bottleneck with my current build is sitting at the GPU. If you have a little more to spend, I'd suggest picking up the newer generation processor. You need to understand how to overclock and how to properly configure your machine to use the bare essentials. If you intend on running a bunch of other stuff in the background, this build is not for you :).

ssd helps the d3boot and zone load times also
Click to expand...

He's only going to be able to fit the OS on a 64GB SSD. I haven't seen enough of a difference in performance for me to want to purchase a SSD. My loads times typically aren't much of an issue. I can get 3 HDD's for the price of 1 SSD normally. I run 5 bots per HDD.
 
yeah, right now im at a 9 second boot time, ssd would prolly get me 4 or 5, but is couple hundred worth a couple seconds, not really
 
What's the reasoning behind not using apoc's d3starter?

If i am understanding blista08 correctly, he uses d3starter, but only starts up to 5 bots from one and the same HDD. As in 15 bots started from 3 separate HDDs. That right?

no. just because you CAN eat poop. doesnt mean you did.
he might have, or he might not have 3 hdds with 5 each

I have 3 cheapo HDDs that I picked up with a high cache rate and 7200. I run 5 bots per HDD. I prefer to keep away from all of the third party stuff that I have to. It's not that difficult to make a new folder. The only pain in the ass is when and update/patch hits. (This is on my current rig).

The build that I have posted needs the processor upgraded (some people that have messaged me say they're having CPU issues at 9~ bots). I'm not entirely certain of if they're optimizing their operating system and/or over clocking capabilities. If you want a more "user friendly" approach, pick up the newer generation processor.

I already use YAR. I prefer to stay away from as many 3rd party software as possible... Never know when the person developing it will just stop updating it (i.e. YAR) lol.
 
I made a screenshot of my desktop pc (not dedicated) running 11 instances of db+d3 on a FX-8350. Many people seem to think, that AMD CPUs are crap, which is certainly not true. Here is the proof of a budget pc botting 11 games with no problems. It is OCed, but still nothing fancy. I was also using 13 TPS on every DB.
