Using i7-950, GTX460 and 24GB RAM SWTOR is a gigantic resource hogger. Running 3 Virtual Machines of SWTOR already consumes a high 95% CPU but a low 11% of GPU. I was wondering whether InnerSpace/ISBoxer can offer a more efficient form of virtualization?
Is Boxer has a trial. Kickazz says its amazing compared to using VMs. We bought it on his recommendation and he only tried it after a user here said it worked well.
Pixel bots (Non Buddy Spacebots) + InnerSpace/ISBoxer is a bad idea right? Pixel bots only work in VMs right?
A few guys I know have had some huge success with ISBoxer. Here's the ISBoxer How-To on setting up SWTOR: [SWTOR] How to multibox Star Wars: The Old Republic on one PC with ISBoxer Just get their free 7-day trial (ISBoxer is free... the trial is for Inner Space which is the core component).
Take a look for yourself This is on a 8150 AMD 8-core OC @ 4.4 GHz w/ 16gb ram (I just ordered 32 gb today ). I'm running a amd 6950 atm, but the 7970 is in the mail! 4x swtor (low gfx), 1x wow (full gfx - botting) w/ innerspace or 3 vm with swtor / bw + 1 regular swtor / bw Innerspace works great. There is NOT A ***** for it... so don't waste your time trying to look for it. Pay Lax his $40 / year (or 110 for 3 years) and be done with it. - License details are on his site: Purchase a subscription - Lavish Software It works out of the box, just follow the instructions (also, if you have dxtory - turn it off! I use dxtory to limit the fps of my swtor's and this + innerspace is not compatible, which is understandable). As you can see from the pic... I limited innerspace to 15fps the VM's didn't have a fps limiter... but even with the fps limiter they still used 35-40% cpu usage each (with swtor) and they do NOT utilize the gpu... cpu only!
PassMark Intel vs AMD CPU Benchmarks - High End Should I trust this website in terms of cpu processing power? It states that 8150 AMD 8-core = Intel i7-950.
Intels have a massive amount of cpu power. I get the AMD's bc I don't want to spend 500$ for a cpu and $300-400 for a mobo PassMark - AMD FX-8150 Eight-Core - Price performance comparison use that instead... and most ppl aren't going to use 100% cpu. I might max out running 20 swtor's... maybe =P
I just wish that ISBoxer / Innerspace worked across PC's. I use Input Director to control my 2nd PC like it was a 2nd monitor on my primary PC. It would be awesome if IS worked to be able to spawn to itself across a LAN like it does on a single PC.
Well hey now... It's sorta buried... But looks like it already does: How to use ISBoxer with multiple computers
Which bot you use? Lucky's Spacebot? If so I am working on giving it an independent virtual mouse for the window so hopefully that will help fix stuff. Just going to take a bit of work.
Intels have power yea... but that Intel will cap out faster on the CPU than the 8 core will due to the threads available. Intels = Better for games and up to four cores (which do beat four cores operating from the 8 core amds by a decent amount). Once the AMD has to use the extra threads/cores is when things become less lopsided. Also kick you have the same setup as I do but I just got my settlement for my injury to my shoulder so hello Dual Opterons as I run a large database and a ton of stuff at the same time.
I dont have top of line computer but I would say ISBoxer/innerspace is awesome. Sometimes cranky when try to start one by one. But when do by set. It starts them all good. With the pixelbot. I use luckys. Can only use 1 client at a time.
I am aware and it is due to only having one mouse and one mouse cursor... trying to find a work around for this but atm may not be possible without another outside program to which I have to find. BTW: I am lead dev for Lucky's now.
