Building a 12 bot computer, hows this look?

How far should the overclock go to run 12-15 bots without Vmware or ISboxer?
I got an i7 3770K oc at 4.2, enough ram and a powercolor HD 7850 (Load around 70% with 12 bots). But my CPU is maxed at 100% when i run 12 bots at the same time. But it's only at 70% when i run 10 bots. I already adjust tecnical spec to a low level (change prefs, fps at 25 etc.). I'm not sure how to solve this, thought an higher oc might help.

well i use ATI 2GB 7850. but i could really get 1GB and be happy

1GB can't even support 4x Vmware screens without crashing to black screens occasionally.

I have a 560ti (1gb) and see occasional artifacts with less than 6 bots. I would feel more comfortable with more gb

I am running a Radeon 6670 2gb (about $70). With 4 bots at 320x240, 12 fps, and Giles video settings, my GPU load is 32% and using 600mb vram. You may like to keep your load less than 100%, up to you, but just pointing out that you don't need a $300 video card for 12 bots.

Where can i find Giles video settings? Did a quick check on his stickies but cant see any

He can't do this without using Innerspace to physically shrink instead of the normal-resizing of the windows. Normal-resizing doesn't save GPU load and mem.

So Rakurai either left out this important info or he's plain trolling.

Aha, you're correct, I forgot to mention innerspace. That said, $45 per year for the software, or $230 extra for a video card?
