[Tutorial] How to Increase (&Predict) Number of Running Bots

[wackywamba]

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz

i have ran up to 14 bots(rsbuddy) on this processor with absolutely no problems what so ever, i would assume i could handle up towards 20 bots at a time. but you might be right about the 16 bots @ 3.3.. will test out later.(also some bots were not rendered because i was babysitting my main and 2 member accounts.

you might want to include internet connect requirements, since someone wouldn't be able to run a handful of bots on a 3 Mbps down connection.

nice guide btw. sticky to this forum anyone ?

Thanks for the info, people keep contributing - the more numbers we have the more accurate we can make this.

I agree with you about the internet connections as mine is exceptionally slow, but I'm assuming most people will bottleneck at the hardware anyways. If more people ask for it, I'll look into it.

Thanks for sharing this with us.
It helped me out.

I can believe it. My friend used AT@T 3g speeds while we were in tech school to play WOW on his laptop. He used his iPhone as a wireless router and connected his laptop and played WOW with no lag while he was dueling. I was also doing the same thing and we were getting about 30kb/s. So 30kb/s and you can play WOW.

very difficult to believe >.> unless you guys were on top of the datacenter lol. i guess, running bots<playing games competitively when it comes to internet speed. i got my 25 Mbps down connection just for competition in wow and in fps games, I'm here to tell you it makes a HUGE difference.

My experience:

ex glad in wow and was almost sponsored by steel series while playing black ops(pc) (team disbanded :/ sad sad day)

Thanks for the tips.

Thanks this is a great guide will you be putting AMD processors into this?

Thanks this is a great guide will you be putting AMD processors into this?

pffft who uses amd processors but on a serious note amd processors>intel for gaming. a lot of people just dont understand this :/

This used to be the case, but nowadays they really aren't.

Although, I'm no intel fanboy, so if people with AMDs can give me their specs and number of bots I'll be able to do this faster as it'll take me a while to get the hardware to try for myself.

If more people request it I'll set up a general premise based on cores and speeds, and adjust it as people recommend.

or just install linux, it uses less resources than windows

this helped me out alot Thanks

I've got an i7 860. It can smoothly run 24 bots (RSBot) using just six of the eight threads. Pretty sure it would handle a lot more with more RAM...

Here's some advice to add:

1) If you want a usable machine while botting, reserve one core to handle your other processes. In Windows you do this by setting process affinity in task manager.

2) Bots can often afford to "lag". Even if your CPU-usage meter is maxing out you can probably still run more bots before responsiveness becomes a problem.

About the guide:

1) Registry cleaners don't help at all.
2) Messing with process priorities is unlikely to make any difference.

I can handle upwards of 40 bots on 60GB of ram and a g.4ghz i7 processor. (rsbuddy).

Advice:

Use the 'less cpu' options on rsbuddy. It helps so much to minimise lagg and allows you to run almost 50% more bots on a computer.

Dude im running 7 bots on 400KB/s internet atm, surfing, watching youtube and got like 10 tabs open in mozzila, lol.

Hello NBD, you obviously don't know what speed your isp provides.
There is a difference between kilobytes and kilobits, megabytes and megabits

What he said was that you aren't going to run many bots on a 3Mb/s internet.
3Mb=375KB/s
a byte has 8 bits, a bit allocates a 1 or a 0, if that makes any sense.
I am no expert but I hope you learned that.
when talking about internet speed they are Mb not MB.

 

[Befriend]

How many bots can i use (rsbuddy)
4,75gb usable RAM
AMD Athlon (tm) II X2 250 Processor 3.00 GHz

Not sure what some of that is ^ so someone help

 

[Diego_Ramos]

Great guide, I might be buying a botting computer soon so this will be very helpful

Thanks for that constructive comment .

Yeah, ISP's do this to make their lines sound faster than they are; much how harddrive companies do.

Thanks, I do agree with your criticism - the process priorities will only help if your CPU is on the verge of dying, but yeah in most cases it wouldn't help much. Also, registry cleaners are debatable, tbh I don't really do it, but it is a feature of CCleaner and some people do say it helps so why not mention it.

I'll also add the hardware info you gave, thanks again.

I7 gets me 25, without using 100% cpu, hangs around 76-84%.

It depends alot on the area your botting.

Which I7 can I ask?

Also, yeah you're there are lots of variables that will have an affect on the number of bots, but this is a general guide.

Nice nice. Good deal my friend.
