Running 30+ game clients

[nandersen]

I was wondering if someone could help me, I'm playing Silkroad Online and I want to be able to run 30+ game clients max res and max settings.  What I need to know is:

 

1.  Will a Samsung 850 Pro be stable enough to run that and 2 browsers and VW Windows and music etc.  (I want Samsung cuz it's really fast and I've used other SSD in the past and they have crashed due to opening many game clients, so I'm currently running a Intel SSD because it's the most reliable of SSD)

 

2.  I will be running Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1866MHz CL9 DIMMs (CMD16GX3M2A1866C9) overclocked to 2400MHz (should I over clock it?)

 

3.  I will be running 2 x Nvidia 980s in SLI

 

I have a ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z Socket AM3+ AMD 990FX/SB950 Chipset Mobo with AMD X8 FX-9590 (220W) Eight-Core Socket AM3+, 4.7 GHz CPU, 8Mb Cache, 32nm CPU.

 

The game has been around for 10+ years so the specs are fairly low:

 

CPU: Pentium 4 2.4GHz or higher CPU Speed: 2.4 Ghz RAM: 512 MB OS: Windows 2000, XP, Vista Video Card: GeForce FX 5600 or ATI9500 Sound Card: Yes Free Disk Space:

4 GB

 

(these are the Recommended specs)

 

A Nvidia 550Ti or 560Ti will run the game on max res and settings

 

 

Like I said, I wish to run 30+ game clients at max res and max settings (1920x1080) and I'm just wondering if this is my best bet or should I change something or what?

 

I really appreciate your help and input, but I only ask you respond UNLESS you know what you're talking about.

 

Thanks,

You want to run 30 instances of a game at once? I would take the FPS you get on one and divide it by 30 and then take the ram taken up by the game, multiply it by 30 and then add it to the amount of ram used already that is not the game. This would give you a pretty good idea. Pretty rough though.

Hi mate, surely you dont play all the clients at once? If not why dont you have your bots running in 800x600 windowed or even clientless and your mains running at max. Also dont bother oc your ram it wont help at all. The max amount of clients i ever ran was 8 because after that, if the clients all dced at once none of them would auto login again. 

 

What is the max amount of clients you have ever ran before?

 

thanks
