I run 20 bots at 50% load.

Ripped, is it the CPU or the RAM that matters more?
I'm thinking of buying a Intel i5, shall i just sell my 200€ GPU and upgrade to a i7 CPU?

I7 [email protected]
32 gigs corsair vengence
xfx 7950DD

7-8 wow and 3 d3's usually going at once on one monitor while i play something else on my other. Dunno what load it's running at, i never see it stutter so didn't bother to look.

edit: I take that back, i did notice it stutter once. Then i moved wow and d3 to the SSD and it never done it again.

Its both. Im running at 50% CPU and RAM. Alittle over 50% CPU actually.

About the GPU I dunno.. I built this machine as a D3 machine at first but moved over to wow. Im actually not the best to ask hardware questions to. I just know what I have and how it runs to be totally honest.

Custom PC

i5 3570k
8gb ram
gtx 560ti

I cant run more than 4 bots, what settings do u reduce to be able to run more bots?

 

[BillEEEh]

Well first of all, get a computer, not a laptop. Due to the airflow, your laptop wont be able to run more than 3-4 bots with the laptop being loud as hell.

An i5 CPU can easily handle 20~ bots. Just get an overclockable one like the i3550k, which is great for that.
The graphics card does not matter that much but as it is an investment might aswell just get a 7850.
RAM is cheap as hell and you should get atleast 16. Ram mostly costs about 20-30 euros for 2 sticks of 4 GB, so you should get 16 if money is a problem. For an extra 50 you can get 4 sticks of 8 gigs in total.


Im a guy that doesnt bot for money, i just have a beast main that is worth over 2000$ that i bot on every now and then, but i know plenty about the hardware

Reduce the size of WoW window to the minimum . Set the max foreground and background FPS to something like 15 FPS. Set all graphical details to low. You should be more than ok.

Any more input?
Very interesting topic tbh!

Do you think an Intel Core i5-3470 is sufficent?
Also 16 vs 32 GB Ram, do I need to upgrade?

Dell Laptop
Intel Core i7 2630 QM
8GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GT 525M
7 Bots at 70 % RAM and 65% CPU
I use a good laptop cooler but still have the laptop go into thermal shutdown because of the GPU overheating, sometimes

Do you use a SSD? Also do you run each HB session from a separate folder? I hear Blizz tracks heavy users and hence the life of accounts are quite short. Would love your thought's on this.

Gaming/botting -> custom pc
School/business -> laptop

that's my opinion

16 GB are more than enough for 12 bots. I ran into memory issues when I added two VMWare machines, each with 3 more bots, then the RAM spiked to 18GB+.

 

[Kjin]

So you had 12 Bots + 2 VMware with 3 Bots each (18 Bots) running?

I wonder if it's way safer to use VMware instead of just botting on 1 Computer without VMware.

 

[flr]

Well, not sure if there is any other thing that can link the VMware accounts to the machine that is running them, in theory VMware should hide all the computer details. Each VM had its own V P N. However, the resource allocation increases dramatically with VMware (both CPU and RAM).

And yeah, 18. I strongly suggest an i7 processor over the i5 if you are going to run a high number of bots . For me it showed around 40% increased capacity (2600k versus 2500k).

I agree. I did not buy the laptop for botting. I bought it before I started botting. Will buy myself a custom PC when I add more bots.
