Hey yall!
I have a question that has been bugging me lately
Is there any gain of performance while botting if I put my screen resolution to 800x600 to match my bot's resolution? I have a 1920x1080 screen and I just want to know it I should change it to 800 x 600 while botting.

Thanks in advance,
NYS
 
If you are using windowed fullscreen mode, setting your screen resolution to 800x600 helps with GPU load.
Otherwise doesnt benefit as far as I know.
 
I am using fullscreen windowed. Is there any difference in performance/gph between running it windowed and fullscreen windowed? If I switch to windowed I wont have to worry about my screen resolution anymore?
 
When using Fulscreen windowed, even if you resize windows with DRelog or other software, all windows render with your screen resolution so setting your screen resolution to 800x600 reduces your GPU load to lowest possible. If you go with 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 screen res. GPU load gets very high.
Using windowed mode and resizing to lowest possible (its800x600) you can use your native screen resolution and your GPU load will be lowest possible again.
ISBoxer is able to resize windowed mode lower than 800x600 further relieving your GPU load.
Setting BitDepth to 16 lowers Vram used significantly.
I couldnt yet find a method to lower CPU load, DB also usng up significant amount of CPU.
 
You are of great help my friend. May I ask, how to edit BitDepth to 16? Is it going to affect all my applications or just Diablo 3? Also is there a difference between windowed mode and fullscreen windowed mode at all in terms of gph? I found that if I minimize windowed mode, the bot doesn't run at all. Is it like that for you?
 
Make sure you closed all running D3 instances.
Go to Documents-> Diablo III and open D3Prefs.txt with notepad or any other editor.
Edit:
DisplayModeBitDepth "32"
Click to expand...

into:
DisplayModeBitDepth "16"
Click to expand...

Also set these for extra performance:
ShadowQuality "0"
PhysicsQuality "0"
ClutterQuality "0"
Click to expand...

Get a backup of that file before and also after you edit, so you can overwrite high settings when you r gonna play, and overwrite these settings when botting.

This changes ofc only gonna affect your Diablo 3 settings. In terms of GPH it all depends on your CPU/GPU/VRam and how many bots you run. If any of these gets loaded high, I experienced losses in GPH.
To my experience Botlleneck is always CPU cos you can significantly lower your GPU/VRam usage with these settings.
Also DB is not gonna run with minimized windows. I also read that warden is able to detect minimized window state cant show any proof or link about it thou.

I have no idea, dont think D3 supports 8bit.
but 16bits is significantly reducing Vram usage it should be enough.
How many bots are you running? Whats your GPU?
 
Radeon HD 7770. Its a really powerful one. CPU i7 3770K. 12 GB ram. Just running 4 bots atm but will expand to 6 by the weekend and hopefully 9 by next. Another question. What if I run windowed mode D3s but dont minimize them. E.g. Just click on to other programs. Will the bots run in that instance?

EDIT:
What do you recommend me to do to get the most out of botting in term of performance? Like several tips :)

You have a beast CPU, enough Ram and a good GPU. 9 bots wont be a problem. I'd just go windowed mode, set 16bit and use Kane's relogger.
DB is gonna be fine as long as you dont minimize them.
 
@lathrodectus
Im think along the lines of 15+ bots maybe 18 or 21. Would this rig be good enough?
 
I cant say for sure. I didnt run that many bots nor have a beast CPU like that.
CPU side, considering the D3 and DB load I dont think its possible to bot 18+ without OCing that cpu. However I might be wrong. 15 seems ok.
12GB Ram is another issue, its gonna lower your GPH for sure with 10+ bots, however ram is cheap and easy to upgrade.
