Hey all,

I haven't seen much info on here and I would like some input on a pc that would be strictly for botting 3 sessions of HB at a time. I have a beast of a gaming machine and I can run 2-3 HB sessions and 1 Demonbuddy session at the same time, however I also have an older pc that can maybe do 2 sessions.. Anyway my question is this.

For 3 sessions of HB running WoW at Minimal Settings what specs would you all recommend.
I am very tech savvy and I can upgrade or build myself

I am not looking for the top of the line pc just something that will be able to handle the load.

Discuss..

Funny right after I post this I find a recent thread.

**Another edit - the recent post was garbage due to people bitching windows 7 vs 8.
Keep this thread legit or your comment will be deleted.
 
IDK if you have control to delete comments. But I run 3 HB and 3 WoW without using VM or anything.

So I would recommend having a high clock CPU and alot of ram and a decent video card.
If it is a old PC - The specs i would aim for IF you are doing nothing but botting on it would be. 2.4-3Ghz ish quad core - 6GB DDR2 800 if Windows 7 - 4GB DDR2 800 if windows XP (idk if HB still runs on win xp) GTX 560ti.

The biggest bottlenecks I had on my rig are CPU/RAM/Video clock. When triple botting. when i had 8gb of ram and only 1 video card. My system would run the bots and wow with the below settings adjusted to this line but the games would crash/pause and such dailiyish. but I was also performing other tasks. If i was you i would plug in the computer, do a fresh install of windows and install teamviewer and connect a power/ethernet cord and see how it goes.

My Specs
3.1Ghz 8 core
16GB DDR3 1600MHz
240 GB SSD
2x 2GB gtx650 ti boost SLI
gt520 (physics)
3x20" monitors for bots and 30" Dell ultra sharp for the game I care about playing.
 
VMware takes much more resources to run then just the game and the bot. So your adding additional resources just to do the same thing you are already doing. I don't see any benefit to VMware unless you have 1 smallish monitor and are running more bots then you can fit on the screen comfortably.

hahah you are just showing your spec to brag about it :)
me old bot pc had quad core 3GB ram don't know the speed of the ram and cpu. It's a PC from 5 years ago and a cheap cpu so don't think it's anything near 3GHZ
you don't need a nice graphics card. I just use the on board version on me current botting pc and have no trouble running 15+ bots

I run two sessions on my MBP i7 with 16gb ram and iris video as I didn't get the Nvidia mobile.

My desktop rig is capable of running who knows how many but it's a beefy rig I liquid cool and it's OC 4790k @ 4.7ghz with 32gb dominator 28xx memory and a 690 Nvidia.

My bot rig is Ivy i5-3750, 32gb and a single Radeon 5970 which is old desktop and an old bitcoin card I had in stock.

I've noticed that on MBP it does fine gathering and questing and general grinding. On timeless I get like 10fps if I'm lucky per session and bots really have a hard time following me around but I'm doing traffic forwarding over WLAN to my desktop I am playing on.
 
got 1100T, 16 ram, gts 250 gfx card. running up to 12 bots no problem.

I wasn't bragging about anything. I was running 3 bots on my original specs but I was also playing other games on my main monitor while doing so like I am now and that is why I upgraded it to my current specs. I do watch my resources while botting and gave him an honest opinion of what my resources where calling for while botting and doing nothing else.

overhead for CPU usage is less than 10% (around 5% ) overhead for GPU is higher, probably around 30% but that is not problem since GPU is rarely bottleneck (as long as you dont have 100+ years old GPU - and yes i know they didnt have GPUs in 19th century ;) )
 
Thanks for the response guys, I've learned a great deal.
I was always a casual botter but now I am moving toward a little more hardcore.

I have figured out how to have Automated botting with no user interference now its just a matter of getting my PC up to par.

So I understand I should be looking at a Quadcore.. would you guys Aim for an i5? and is an i7 Overkill? What about i3's?
 
Intel is better, i will admit that willingly even being and AMD fanboy. A new i5 will be fine. Hell a lot of processors will pass with botting 3. I have an AMD 8120 8 core. Check out this comparison list PassMark - AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core - Price performance comparison to see what is on par and or close to mine.

You can find the full list here to better see what you need PassMark Intel vs AMD CPU Benchmarks - High End mine scores 6602 on the list.

My cpu running 3 bots does hover around 90-100% at all times. But it never slows down the bots even at 100%.
 
I over estimated my CPU usage. It actually hovers between 70-80% with all 3 running and doing nothing else.. I play other games while botting and do other activities. Sorry about that.

15'ish bots (havn't taken it further, yet)
 
What resolution and quite setting you using on your bots? I run my main on 2550x1440 settings on ultra, and 3 bots at 1152x768 settings Good without issues, but no way 15 would run. Not even on my dial Xeon, Quad SLI 7890series amd rig
 
I am running 5 bots on 1280x720, shrunk down as small as possible. The bottleneck seems to be WOW leading graphics so cut those down to min and when the Bot is loading tiles or thinking. Ram is a key to good performance. With lots of ram you can set up virtual disks and loading/thinking will be much faster. Ram is pretty cheap. A session of WOW and bot uses about 1.5 GB RAM, so I am running 8GB RAM used. I have only 10 ATM, in the next couple of months I will hopefully have 24GB in 6 4GB sticks. I am still playing around with the settings and such.
 
Don't really get how you can only run 3 bots at minimum with a "beast" gaming computer?
I'm right now running 7 bots with no lag at 75% capacity, with an AMD Phenom x6 1100T clocked to 3.8GHz, Radeon HD 6800, 16GB RAM. RAM is very important I found out early on x)
You can get a computer with similar speccs very cheap and it can run 9 bots easily.

while ram is important amount of ram needed can be significantly reduced by using a SSD or 2 in RAID-0,

they tend to be very cheap these days (under 0.5$/GB even) and can make up for price in savings compared to RAM prices

off course this assumes your PC runs huge number of bots not only 5-6 because any PC made in last few years should be able to run that much on minimum details (1280x720 is high, think more 300*200 resolution per bot after all your not really going to be playing those games)
