Goldfarming computer?

Grrr · Mar 1, 2011

I'm buying a new computer so that I can gold farm and which I want to be able to handle around 8+ bots but heres my question,

Will the graphics card have any significant effect on being able to run 8+ bots? The graphics card is very bad- ATI Radeon HD 5450: will this have any effect?

The other specs are:
IntelÂ® Core™ i7-870 Processor
4GB installed DDR3 RAM (1333MHz)
1TB SATA 7200rpm Hard Drive

Any help is appreciated thanks.

Well it depends on which game you are gold-farming...

If you are farming gold for Runescape these specs would be great and you could easy run 8+ bots on it.

But if you are farming gold for World of Warcraft, I would say, get more RAM so you have at least 6GB, instead of the 4GB. Next is the graphics card. That graphics card is ok, but its not the best.

I'm sure that you could run World of Warcraft 3 times at once on this computer (with lowest graphics settings), but I don't think you would be able to run 8 at once.

The pc you picked out should run 8 bots. I won't say without lag because you only have 4 gigs of ram and I'm sure you plan on multi tasking while the bots are running. the proc is okay and your video card shouldn't have any negative effects. If you want, you can get a decent video card for under $200 that will really help with the speed of games in high detail mode.

7 bots max with casual internet browsing, expect a bit of lag. 4GB RAM isn't really suffice, I would definitely try and go for 6 or 8GB.

We've got a tech support section that nobody likes to post in, it's always General Discussion that they post tech issues in.

Please know the difference for next time, it's really damn annoying.
