Since there has been some implementations in bitcoin core, I wonder if it can support high power ASIC's like 100 GH/s and 1000 GH/s out of the box?
At bitcoin wiki it's stated that bitcoin-qt can handle ~4-5 GH/s of work, was it upgraded in bitcoin core?
Or do you need to set up stratum proxy to handle that ammount of work? if yes is there any nice solution using startum proxy not using eloipool which I could use as a guide?

cgminer can mine directly to bitcoind at any hashrate without any extra load to bitcoind. I helped someone set up a 150TH solo mining operation that way. That information is outdated based on older software.

Was there any special setup for this or was it a simple point to the wallet and start mining type setup?

Just point to wallet and start on a decent PC. Best to run bitcoind and cgminer on the same machine to minimise latency. Note that the windows "bitcoin-core" no longer includes the bitcoin-rpc component you need so you need to run that binary as well.

So say I had 50 machines running around 200 TH total. Each with its own instance of cgminer running. Would a single wallet handle that or would you separate them?

Just curious as I was going to set up a pool for internal use but not sure if this way is better it seems there is less latency with directly talking to bitcoind with the miners  vs using pool software.

Bitcoind doesn't much like multiple connections and the more connections the more load it has, so it is better suited to one big mining instance rather than multiple instances. If you could run one cgminer instance controlling multiple devices and point each cgminer instance to its own bitcoind instance that would be better. If you want to point many machines at solo you're better off with pool software between you and bitcoind. Hopefully we (the cgminer team) will be able to provide a software solution for that too shortly.

Excellent. Thanks for the help kind sir. :)

You're welcome, and I should point out that there was a potentially major bug which was only recently fixed in cgminer git that specifically affects solo mining so if you wish to go that route you must download the latest git source. We'll probably release a new version shortly, but basically the latest release 4.4.1 still has the bug.

Kudos for solomining BTC in 2014.

i am interested in setting up solo. but i cant get my antminer s1's to connect to my qt. the configuration file is made. i also cannot get a proxy to connect to the qt either. only p2pool will connect.
