So my 8 year old pc finally died and I bought a new one with the specs from the image. Realistically, how many toons do you pros think I could box on this machine? I can also upgrade the ram more in the future if I need.

Well since I'm just getting back into eq, I'm only starting out with 6 right now, just a single box group. Want to add more eventually once I get the hang of things again and see what I can accomplishsuper pc and congrats!
depends on how many toons you have?
you can load 30-50 TOONS I think…
Heard rumbles about the AMD issue, but more of just people mentioning it offhand. Any of the benchmarks avail?I expect you could box 32+ with some minor frame rate limiting. Probably could do full 54 with some tweaking.
The i9-14900K has 8 "P" = Performance cores and 16 "E" = Efficient cores.
The 8x P cores are hyper-threaded so they appear to the OS as 16 cores, while, the 16 E cores are lower clocked single threaded cores.
There has been some interesting videos about how the games actually run slower due to the windows scheduler not knowing which cores to use.
There are similar problems with the AMD 3D cache line if it is the 12 or 16 core variant.

I've thought about that, but I do not know how to write my own scripts for raids events etc. As much as I would love to be able to, I do not see that as a possibility. However, I wouldn't be opposed to running a second box group in conjunction with the main one and farming 2 areas at once.You can basically be your own raid. That is a nice machine. Congrats.
I run a machine that is a well mini monster. It's a mini PC that I has plenty of everything a dedicated video card I forget and I put 128 megs of Ram in. I've never loaded more than 8 toons but they ran fine and minus the ram your machine stats are newer than mine and I think you will be fine for that.I've thought about that, but I do not know how to write my own scripts for raids events etc. As much as I would love to be able to, I do not see that as a possibility.

Oh absolutely it is, but I might not ever be able to run full raids on my own, but I could run multiple groups eventually, which I think would be petty fun tbh. I'd love to be able and Raid on my own, but I don't have the capabilities to write my own scripts to deal with mechanics etc etc.That machine is overkill in every way for 2 groups of EQ.
