Trying to set up 6 LD player emulators at once
Hello pls help! I want to set up 6 LD android emulators at once and run them at almost perfect efficiency (no hiccups, no lag, etc)
A guy I know says his i7 laptop runs 5 no problem. I was told by a software developer that an i7 8700 and GTX 1070 should do the job.
Today I dropped $500 and upgraded my pc to the following
ryzen 5 3,500 (benchmark shows 12,500 and also seems to only be 10% lower number than a lot of i7's)
geforce 1650 SUPER (benchmark shows 10,000, 3,000 points below the recommended GTX 1070)
16gb ram
Asus B450M-A
All 4 of the above are brand new out of the box
but I seem to still have problems even just running 4. I get 4 up and running and it says my cpu is using maybe 25% and gpu is 25% but there is still a lot of lag. I start to do something on one emulator and the cpu might spike to 75%.
The developer said these emulators are way more gpu intensive than cpu intensive but the gpu never goes above 40% while all the lag spikes cause cpu to go above 70%
Then when everything still seems to be working fine, all 4 emulators just freeze up.
I'm a complete newb at all this but it "feels" like my upgrades should be able to run 4 with no problem.
I did follow some random articles online about how to help in making windows/pc run more efficiently etc
I mean I really have no idea what's going on. I would assume if cpu spikes to 80%+ then lag starts to happen but even when my cpu/gpu monitor software says they're both at like 25% with 4 emu's running side by side there is still lag and freezes.
Do I mess with the recommended cores and ram allocation options in LD player settings? ryzen 5 says it is 6 core but the LD player option is set for 4 cores and it's recommended.
is a fresh install of windows 10 on the table?
is ryzen 5 and 1650 SUPER just potato build for what I'm trying to do? lol - I even set the max fps in ld player to 20 fps which is fine for the apps Im trying to multi
I also get an error saying my gpu driver might cause "splashing" w/e that is every time I open up the emulators
these problems still happen even when I shut down chrome/skype/spotify, anything else I don't absolutely need
I should probably add that when all 4 froze and crashed, the desktop windows manager was spiking at 100% gpu
when I batch opened all 4 with 5 sec intervals cpu spiked to 60% and gpu only went to max 5%
Re: Trying to set up 6 LD player emulators at once
ok I'm testing things now
I have 4 different idle games running on 4 emulators
seem like pretty basic games - tap heroes, chicken farm idle game, beast slayer clicker, merge planes
CPU is at 45% avg occasional spikes to 60-65% and GPU only 15% avg never goes above 20% , memory 50% - this is just with idle clicking within the games, etc
developer said these LD emulators are very gpu heavy
shouldn't my gpu be at like 50% or 60% constant if that's true? Why is my cpu 3x higher avg than gpu when running 4 clicker idle games?
I did set graphics performance in windows settings to make LD player "high performance"
I just feel like there is a way to make the GPU work more than the cpu...or do I not know what I'm talking about and is the developer wrong by telling me these emulators use more gpu?
nzxtcam shows cpu only running 2x gpu , a bit different numbers than my task manager 3:1 ratio

What is brand of your power supply and did you install chipset drivers ?
Did your pc is overclocked ?

power supply is 500w, corsair cx
chipset driver? huh? (probably not then lol let me check that out, assuming you mean driver for my cpu?)
pc is not oc'ed. I was gonna download the ryzen helper from amd and push it from 3.6k to 4.1k and maybe tinker with the voltage I think the BIOs gives it like 1.2v but I've been told you can comfortably go to 1.4 without any worries.
Although oc cpu should only give about 10% better performance?
I'm playing around with changing the resolutions of the emulators - lower resolutions seem to reduce cpu strain
Changing the fps of the emulators clearly affects the gpu, I had my gpu running 30% avg with 60fps on each emulator
Not sure about the core/ram settings per emulator - 6 core ryzen 5 means I should mark each emulator as 1 core with about 3k ram which would split 1 core for each emulator?
Re: Trying to set up 6 LD player emulators at once
christ almighty I'm trying to download the motherboard driver for PRIME B450M-A but the asus website only offers it in zip format and it seems impossible to do this. When I thought I unzipped it correctly, it just brings up a windows dialogue that says I need codecs to view the file. Wtf.

What OS you have and did you install 7zip ?
Did you check your system of malware and other viruses ?

Windows 10
yeah I checked system of viruses etc I don't think I have problems with that.
Re: Trying to set up 6 LD player emulators at once
lol I can't even see if that chipset driver successfully downloaded. I'm such a newb
Re: Trying to set up 6 LD player emulators at once
not sure if it's the same thing but I installed what I thought was the chipset driver but it was from the asus website pretty sure, but the one you gave me is amd website but I'll try that right now
