This thread is to compliment the other experiment HERE. What we want to know is how many D3 instances a card can handle while maintaining 12 FPS. The bottlenecks should be GPU and amount of VRAM. This information will help other botters make purchasing decisions in the future, so any help you can give is greatly appreciated by the community!

Requirements:
Detailed instructions can be found in the other thread, but basically:
  • Make sure you are not bottlenecked on CPU, RAM, Hard drive, etc
  • Make sure you conform to the normalization specs (12 fps, 400x300, 10 TPS)
  • Make sure you have room GPU and VRAM to spare, not at 100% or FPS suffers.
  • Collect stats with GPU-Z or whatever you want.

Submission:
  • GPU Brand and Model (manufacturer not really important)
  • VRAM amount and load
  • GPU Load %
  • Number of instances of D3
  • Any deviations from the specs listed in the other thread or this one! Your data might still be useful even if not exactly as specified.
  • Other stats if you really want to, but I won't be tracking them.

I don't know about running multiple instances of the bot, but I can tell you a personal experience that I discovered just today. I have been running on a normally clocked gaming rig, AMD1050t- 6core, 2.8ghz machine with a single gtx470. Today I finished putting together my Intel I7-2600k, overclocked to 4.2ghz, with sli gtx470's I get over 150 fps running the game. I changed the hardware, cranked up the Diablo settings to 150fps minimum foreground and background, and my gph has gone up about 50-60 gph. I already had the parts , I have just been waiting on a system board to get returned. It does make sense however, that the smoother the game runs the better the yield....just thought I'd share this.

Thanks for sharing. It would be interesting to see a graph of how FPS affects things like GPH, but it might be harder to get the data now that Sarkoth farming is nerfed. Then again, it might not exactly be the FPS that's the issue, but that FPS and the speed that DB runs at are both tied to the CPU. I could be wrong though.
 
How do you set the resolution to 400x300? smallest I can seem to get the windows is 800x600 with isboxer

I woke up to my bot computer's PSU having failed, so I can't check right now, but I know you can make a window layout and set the sizes to anything you want for each region. You can set the border on them to resizeable, too, so you can drag them to anything you want. Much better than diablo's built in resolution settings. Try clicking your window layout in the upper left tree in ISBoxer, and then in the lower left tree click 'regions' (i think) and see if the settings are in there.
 
Just switched over from HB after that fiasco and will post what kind of results I can get with 6 clients. Running them on a x6 2.7 phenom 16gb ddr3 and a saphire 5830 1gb. Useful thread Rakurai thanks.
