Typical question of how many bots can I run, just upgraded and am thinking about gold farming.

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350 Eight Core 4.0 GHz (4.4 turbo) (Even though this CPU gets really hot at high loads that shouldn't be an issue, I have it water cooled)

Ram: Corsair 1600 MHz 8Gb

GPU: (Not that it matters much) Radeon HD 6950 2 GB

 

 

Thanks guys!

All that will limit you is your ram. So it depends mostly on what kind of scripts you are using, some use a lot of ram, and some not so much. But with that set up I think you could probably run around 15-20 bots. I'm running 16 bots right now and using up around 9 gigs of ram. But one of the clients is using up 4gb for 5 bots, so I could probably get it below 8 if I just restarted all my clients. I find the ram usage also goes up over time (probably just cause of the scripts I'm writing, but maybe a little to do with the osbot client as well), so if you are pushing your limit close to the 8gb then you might find sometimes that the clients are running out of memory and crashing.

Yeah, the client definitely has a memory leak. Thanks for the information, I have no idea how to go about gold farming to be honest so I'm sure I won't be running more than 10 accounts anyways at least for a while. If you have any tips for me on gold farming I'd love to hear them. XD Thanks for the reply man!

Like said before you're only lacking ram (not even lacking) if your computer is running fresh enough with minimal processors you could handle 25 bots I would say, thought that processor could handle a lot more. Quick tip I figured out is when buying membs refer accounts to each other so you get 2 memb accounts for the price of one ;)

What do you mean refer accounts?

Trust me when I say you're not gonna use up even 7 gigs of your ram. 

 

The only reason ohhungry is so high is because he's using linux or a VPS.

What's going to set you back is your processor. AMD 8 cores, aren't true 8 cores. You're better off with the amd phenom x6 which is a true 6 core amd processor, I'm pretty sure it's more cost efficient as-well.

 

I have a i7 3930k (6 core, 12 thread) and I'm running 28 accounts and it's literally at 6 gigs of ram, even with the current memory leak, it's been like this for a day.

Tis true, Linux was a bad choice I don't use up nearly as much ram on my windows home machine. If you know why it uses up so much memory on Linux and how to fix it that would be really helpful :P I have a memory cleaner on windows but I don't think such a program exists on linux (Although I always though linux managed memory pretty well to begin with)

It might be a random guess, but take a look at this. Linux is much more resource friendly than Windows and this link might explain the weird behaviour of linux. Another option is that the default heap size of java is larger on linux than it is on Windows.

 

On topic - I can easily run 18 bots on my 8gb Windows pc, using roughly 80% ram. So with your pc you can easily run 20 bots. On linux, I dare to guess 30 bots are doable if you know how to allocate ram.

Hmm. Thanks for the advice guys, looks like I have the hardware power I need, just have to solve the rest of the gold farming equation. XD 

"It's all about RAM" ... these kids need to fuck off. Obviously the CPU is a huge factor.

The point was he has a very powerful cpu compared to the amount of ram he has. The point was that he would run out of ram before running out of cpu power

Yeah, I know about the caching and stuff. But I looked up what memory was actually being used and which was just cached, and it looked like alot of it was in use, not just in cache. I've also had scripts where the client ran out of memory and crashed, but I think that was due more to poor scripting. 

i think 3

In alot of bots RAM is a huge factor. For runescape this is not the case, its all about your CPU. Everything Kanye said is absolutely correct. I would say you can run 6+ accounts easily.

9 maybe.
