Multiple Bots - Machine Specs

[mginster]

So I know this has probably been asked a few times, but I could not find the exact answers I need.

I want to be able to bot 3-4 accounts on the same PC and need to know what the most important upgrades have proven beneficial for others that multi-bot.

Current Rig:

- Phenom 2 - 2 core, 2.9ghz, not sure on model
- Gigabyte AM3 mobo
- 8GB Ram
- ATI 4830 GPU
- 60GB SSD

When I attempt to bot 2 accounts on the same machine, the one that is NOT in the foreground lags and studders badly. Yesterday I ordered a 6 core AM3 2.7ghz that I should be able to OC over 3 to help a bit.

What else is the most crucial? I don't use but maybe half my ram with 2 bots, so I think I should be fine there until I get to about 4 and will re-evaluate then. How important is the GPU?

Also, has anyone found out how to make all bots run as smooth as the one in the foreground?

Did you change your Diablo 3 settings to up the background frame rate of your windows? This is explained in detail in the guides on this forum.

Do you mean the video settings in game? I have both sliders maxed out.

Try limiting your foreground/background FPS to 30-40.

foreground 50
backround 25

Works good for me
