I'm sure my pc would run 20 toons without much issue but I wouldn't exactly say it's badass and was $1500 total. Took a classmates suggestion on the video card to use a GTX 1660 TI and it runs pretty well but around $600-700 of the cost was spent on a processor.

hM. Do you know if the video card did help with multiple toon running?

I was under the impression vid'cards didn't help nearly as much, but if that's wrong I gotta re-think what I'm buying regardless.
- Probably been 3 years since I been on. Hopefully toons are all still there but.. I had an old i7-4790 and it ran up to 10 without anything but on board video - after 10 started to lag some -
- So I wonder if an actual video card would of helped any..
Thanks for response
(which processor did you go with i9-9900k or an AMD?)

No one's wanting to share their badass 20box budget rig at least?

thanks for the reply bud... I did notice most of the Ryzen chips ran hotter at idle but appeared to run slightly cooler when running hard... I'll probably just keep looking at the  i7-9700s and maybe i5 6cores

Appreciate the insight!

So. Im about to build another desktop to get back into some EQ fun.  Been a couple years and I'll need to start over with a new desktop.

For you all out there boxing.. 10+ toons

What would you recommend - Best intel / amd generation without that 2k price tag..

Was looking at I7-9700k and Ryzen 7 3800x with around 32gb ram -
 no video card (I think I remembered CPU  / RAM was more important to EQ than the graphic's card ever was..
- Samsung 970 pro m.2 for a harddrive

Figured those basicis would build me a great rig... If it's over kill ... What would ya'll suggest i5-6core (to save a bit of money without loss of performance) ?

Any suggestions would be greatly apprecaited.. Sorry if I've got this in the wrong forum or missed an older build list from recent days...


Thanks!

Still have been unable to see any viable pre T8 2h monk weapon...

Also will there ever be a 2h blunt UW weapon?

I have just recently received a free SSD 500gb HDD. It was an external backup drive that I have stripped of its case and plugged into my desktop directly.

I'm a little sketchy on if I should have added a Paging file on this drive?
It's currently a secondary drive ( norm - HDD main)... I've copied a version of EQ over that's cut down to this SSD to run atls from. Should I just ghost my OS to this SSD and use it as main and then run paging files on HDDs?   Still run a paging file from all drives as I do now?

Quad core 2.5 AMD
8g ram

Current system.    On (2) hdd-s 12g page file on SSD - 15g page file.

Thanks for the consideration Hunter!

Xiggie - less spam = more ham!

Also if I obtain one of these 2hb's from the Halloween event I'll be sure to update the post!

Thanks again!

How about a monk 2h epic?
