Computer for botting

[Wreek]

Hello there fellow botters.

Hope This is the right forum to post in.

I have been thinking about buying a rig for botting.

Have been looking at This setup.

An I73.1 GHz on socket 1366 (know it aint the latest Technology)

16gb of ddr3 pc12800 ram

A kingston now 300 120gb ssd drive

A ati hd7770 2gb graphic Card


I know it aint State of the art. But Will that be able to run 5 Bots?

 

[elcotan]

Yes you can run 5 bots with that

As a comparison..

I have intel core i5-3470 OC to 3.85GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3
Junk HDD
Radeon HD 7850
... with appropriate PSU, motherboard etc and can run 10 bots np on low graphics settings

 

[Macatho]

Can run 10-15 bots on that machine fyi. Scale down gfx etc...

When WoD is released this answer might not be correct anymore.

For reference I can say with 100% truthfulness:

1055T AMD
8gb ram
4850gfx
mechanical hdd

This runs 10 bots flawlessly.

I run 5 man groups on this set up tweaking the hell out of the mother fucker:

Asus PQ5 motherboard
4gb DDR2 ram (~750MB needed per instance+honorbuddy)
Intel Core2 Duo
AMD HD Radeon 4870X2 (legacy drivers tweaked beyond belief)

I am upgrading to:

Intel 4690K
ASUS Z97-A
32GB G.Skill DDR3 1600
EVGA GTX770

And will be attempting Mythic raiding in WoD

I Got my "new" computer next to the bot rig.
I7-4770k
16gb ram
250gb ssd
Nvidia gtx 770oc


And i only need like 5 Bots on the other machine.

Just a side question.
Is it wise to start with 5bots or should i go with 2?

I have botted for a couple of years now. On and off. But nothing serious

If you know how to manage numerous bots you can scale up to as many as your rigs can handle. I would advise away from trying to run numerous if you do not feel safe doing so, as feeling unsafe means you are more likely to make a mistake that will put the accounts at risk. With that being said, the only way to learn is trial and error, and making a few mistakes along the way.
