Hello,
I have the best performance on Interval Immediate, but whenever I start game, it's back on Int. one. Is there any way to keep it on immediate? Or do I have to change it everytime I login?? |

Interval immediate is a great way to burn out your gpu... especially if you're multi clienting :) |

As mentioned by RoCkEt X the Interval Immediate setting will put some strain on your graphics card as the client tries to get the maximum fps possible.
If you do wish to use this setting then try starting the client with administrator rights and change the setting to your preference. When you next log in the setting should be saved.

So is that something that might cause things to not show up on your screen as quickly as other people? Say I'm on a gate and a pod comes through, would I have a higher chance at catching that pod on Immediate?
And as someone who knows very little about it, what does that even do and what are the differences between all the levels? |

Too--
It depends on your system's performance level in EVE.
Interval immediate lets your graphics card push as many frames per second as it can. For high-level machines like mine, that might be 200+ FPS. This can result in your graphics card heating up and the fans to spin faster. Note that graphics cards will throttle themselves when they get too hot, so the myth about EVE (or any other game) frying your graphics card is just that -- a myth.
Interval one (or whatever the default level is) restricts your graphics card to as many frames as your monitor can provide (it is the same as V-Sync). I use this with my 144 Hz G-Sync gaming monitor, and the frame rate is nearly always pegged at 144 FPS on the highest graphics settings.
If your computer's performance in EVE is low enough, say around 45 FPS or less, it could mean that something appears on your monitor a tiny fraction of a second slower than it would appear on mine. Is that difference enough to make you miss the pod? Possibly. Note that in this case, interval immediate wouldn't make any difference at all.
When I finally do make an impact on this universe, it will reverberate across the entirety of it, and no one will be able to truthfully claim they don't know me.

Maybe you can tell that to my now burnt out GTX 480 that like to run Eve in the mid 90's C, with occasionally hitting triple digits in a heavy effect environment like some of the missions had (and this was before they added all that extra load to the already overloaded various debris fields).

480s were designed poorly and had heat problems from the start. That's not EVE's fault -- it's Nvidia's.

I run 3 eve clients on 3 AOC Monitors using a very inexpensive but powerful AMD Radeon Sapphire Dual-X R9 270 2GB GPU (Not-Overclocked) without having any issues what so EvEr. All Max setting however I leave AA Off and all 3 clients run flawless with zero screen tear. I have no clue what my frames per second are, is there even a console command in eve for enabling FPS to view on overlay? I guess I could use a GPU-Monitor to see my fps if i needed to. I am using IPS monitors so angle of the screen has no impact on the quality which seems to help justify the difference in price from non-IPS monitors.
As for seeing if your graphics card can handle a stress load try using the free BOINC Software from Berkley University as a test. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ Get that card crunching some serious calculations at its fullest potential. Then uninstall once you know it can endure the demand and heat with a serious load. I would think if your card started to reach unsafe temperatures you would merely "Bluescreen" and have to cold boot. Your card should never overheat however because it has values that are set to meet the manufactures design to properly cool it unless you overclocked it. If you overclocked it you may need water blocks to liquid cool your card especially if your running an SLI or CrossfireX bridge across multiple GPU's. Make sure your power supply is rated for the wattage necessary to keep enough power available for the video cards demands. The obvious dust bunnies/drivers/updates/unnecessary processes running, ect will all have an impact on overall performance. There are also many inexpensive touch screen fan controllers that monitor temp with alarms that you can mount in the cd drive bays. Static is bad umkay. Im not an expert and I get my facts from lying salesmen so don't hold me responsible for anything Cheers |

Interval Immediate is the only thing that keeps my clients from getting choppy. Interval one is a great thought but with Radeon graphics cards it's the only way to allow my cards to throttle themselves based on the active client. As for GPU strain, I'm going on 3 years of use, which is pretty good value. I only planned to have this rig for 2 years and it's still fine.
Interval One: all clients attempt to maintain 60 FPS
Interval Immediate: active client runs at 120 FPS average, the rest throttle to <20 FPS.
this is ten clients, by the way. running at higher than 1080p. Medium graphics settings
