cheapest gpu to run 12 bots?

If you put them all on low resolution and minimum setting game I'm better a GTX 660 would do nicely.
 
I think you should focus more on CPU power and at least 16 gb ram.

I'm running between 10-15 bots with an Intel Core i7 - 3610QM (just about equivalent to an i7-2600k), nVidia 670M GTX 3GB and 16GB of RAM.

This is how my system handles botting:

A good GPU isn't crucial piece in a botting build.

Also, if you're going to use ISboxer you'll need some hard drive space. My Diablo 3 folder is currently larger than 80GB.
 
You need a good CPU. A 100$ GPU will work fine. But you need a 250-350$ CPU. Core 8 AMD or 4 core Intel

Even with a 460GTX it uses only 10% per instance.
 
No such thing as an AMD 8 core. Its a hyperthreaded quad core. Same as the intel cores.
Lets not make this and intel vs amd thread, because intel always wins :P

I cant tell if you're serious and just exceptionally stupid or joking but most of us here are trying to give actual practical advice, not regress to fanboyism, kid. There are 8 physical core cpus made by AMD and intel. And it doesnt matter if intel has much better architecture. We are talking about running a dedicated Diablo system. Whatever is CHEAPEST that can do THE JOB matters, not brand or architecture superiority. If he was buying a general use computer obviously go with Intel. Pay attention. A i2500K could also do the job, OP. Old but one of the best best bang for the buck cpus ever, it will just need two-three Diablo processes per core set in the process affinity.

AMD FX Series: 8 cores or 8 threads in 4 cores? - Super User
 
There is an outstanding core by Intel that starts at a grand which was not practical for Ops usage. Everywhere you go you will get a different answer on amds FX series. I have found superuser to be very unreliable. I have been building computers since before you were born probably and also probably old enough to be your daddy. Just slow down there buddy
 
Its cute how youre trying to puff up there and say how unreliable something is and that youve been doing this for years. That simply makes you being wrong even more comical here. I prefer Intel, myself, but thats no excuse to lie. The FX 8 core series is 8 physical cores, and no one that actually knows what they are talking about have ever questioned that (are you just trolling?). A $180 8 Core AMD or a 4 Core i2500 or newer around the same price would both be perfect choices for a botting rig depending on other hardware you have at hand than to worry about the GPU.
 
AMD 8 core is actually 4 core, but all the resources are shared (such as FPU) so its really just 4 core. Intel all the way baby, go big or go home IMO
 
I would trust Anandtech toms hardware or overclockers over super user any day... For floating point math, no. For integer based calculations, yes.

Ok it is like this for all the FX chips and this is from AMD.
4*** series are 2 modules with 2 cores per module = 4 cores.
6*** series are 3 modules with 2 cores per module = 6 cores.
8*** series are 4 modules with 2 cores per module = 8 cores.
Each modules has a 256bit FPU that can split to 2 128bit FPU if it needs to be.
 
random question here how to run dual diablo3 on the same pc?

Sorry, but you are wrong. See above.

They are 8 Core chips. Please learn a little, you and the other guy.

That being said overall I would go Intel UNLESS its only going to be used for botting alone. The 8 cores will provide smoother botting with that many going at once. You should set up affinities accordingly. Being a fanboy isnt practical, think with your head, not brands. Imagine him wanting to upgrade to 16 bots. Its not going to do well even on current gen i5s. What you want is more cores even if they preform less. Go look at benchmarks, applications that take advantage of all 8 cores are always better bang for the buck going the FX series. Its certainly more rare, but botting is where this becomes a huge advantage. What sense does it making going Intel because its clearly superior doing things NOT what the OP is even wanting? You make no sense and youre unreasonable.

You can run as many as your computer can handle. The more cores the better, even if each ore isnt the best, the hardware is what matters. Id say you could run 2 instances per core without much issue.

Could you please elaborate it any further? I tried to set 1 instance - 1 core affinity before, and the results were awful. Tried 2 cores per instance, even more awful. My system seems to works best when all instances are sharing all cores no matter what I try.

My CPU is Intel i7-3770k , if that matters.

Yes 16 bot will not work on I5 4 core or AMD FX- which are also 4 core. you need i7 and even then 16 is a stretch.
