100% on doing the cpuaffinity in your eqclient.ini fileYou need to add -1 for every instance you run in eqclient.ini

I need a new computer!
I would like to be able to 3 box comfortably without having to turn off a load of options or compromise on graphics quality or get lag!
could anyone tell me if these specs are good enough to do what I want?

I did change the ram to
DDR4 8GB 3000MHZ corsair vengeance LPX
and had 2 of them for 16MB total
hopefully enough to run 3
I hope you mean 16GB not MB!
You can run 3 on 16GB easy
All those specs look fine. Typically the bottle neck for boxing is CPU/Memory.
Each instance of EQ can use anywhere from 150mb to 1.3 gigs of memory depending on your settings and how frequently you zone.
The bottle neck with CPU you can handle with MQ2EQWire and any performance issues you might face with the video card would also be swayed by the same plugin.
However, I realize you only are saying 3 atm. But provided the ability it's fairly normal to upscale your box group to run 6 as that's the good stuff.

Rows are CPU/Memory/Disk/Network/GPU/GPU Engine/Power Usage/Power usage trend
I'm running an i9-9900k processor, 32 gigs of DDR4 at 2666? on a 1tb NVMe SSD with an RTX 2070
the last instance of EQ is right at 4% cpu and 12% GPU. That's the foreground instance of EQ that isn't running MQ2EQwire
The 0.4-0.6% CPU and only 1.7% to 1.8% gpu is the ones using MQ2EQWire
As you can see, if you supplement your hardware with good software, you can get more out of less.
With that said, based on the specs I saw the system should be more than adequate for EQ 3 boxing.

and copy all those files over. UI_
in the EQ directory to get a list of all of those files quickly.im stuck again!
Anyone know how I copy my UI and hotbutton files etc to my new computer so I don't have to set them all up again?
hell yeah dude, new pc stuff is always awesome - its like new socks/undiesJust wanted to say thank you to everyone for your help and advice...just a bit of fine tuning to do but I have just spent the last couple of hours having great fun!
You still have pretty good overhead on your ram. You don’t want windows to start committing to virtual memory. Eventually the page fault will get pretty bad to a point that you’ll start to see noticeable stutter.
