AMD cpus are 62C not 80C lol...

Overall cpu usage... < core usage...

If your games are stacking onto one core (should not but)... and it going 100%... your gona lag to ****.

But it sounds like you got it rolling so cool.

Maybe im thinking it can be the only explanation, but dont get why its doing it now but it didnt do it before...

But yes the oldest part of my PC is the HDD also, maybe i buy one of those fancy smanshy SSD drives.

Nothing about SSD is fancy, they are simply a must have. 128 GB minimum.

Learning to use Junction/symbolic links to run already installed games from one works great too, if you don´t want to reinstall.

I'm running 5-6 clients on a single computer, so here is my input on the subject:


  • Performance issues sometimes surface when cache files sometimes get corrupted or filled up. Clearing the cache files makes things a lot smoother. I need to do that every week or so when I see the game stutter a bit. Clearing them makes it silky smooth.

  • A couple of 560s should be find running the clients, and there is no need for any SSDs. I'm running two clients on another computer on a 470 without any problem (but a stronger CPU tho) and the game is on a normal HDD (1.5TB sata2).

  • There is no need for different folders per game client. I'm running all clients from a single install folder on all my machines.

  • If you have performance issues, best is to check : CPU usage, GPUs usage and see where your bottleneck actually is (note: its NOT your HDD unless its badly defragged).


My main computer with 5-6 clients is a bit stronger granted, but you should still don't have any issues with two 560s and your CPU.
