My setup is this:
intel 7i 920 nVidia GTX 295 12GB DDR3 RAM
I am running 5 EVE clients, and before Crucible I could do so with medium graphics settings in general and antialiasing set to 'Low'. Now, even if I run with low graphics settings in general, I am unable to run more than three clients with anti-aliasing enabled. If I try to fire up all 5 clients, my PC works its way from 3 FPS to a complete black screen'ed lock out - only dealt with by using CTRL+ALT+DEL, and closing some clients.
Anyone else have similar issues?

I have ironically noticed CQ seems to take more time to load. -Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily. |

I'm getting this issue as well. I have a gtx480 with the latest drivers, and AA in driver settings is set to application settings (of course it's set to high in eve settings as well). |

hmm, i didn't think that a GTX 295 would manage 5 clients in the first place. Learn something new everyday i guess. Tears + Bucket = Win |

having run windowed since forever I often have basic graphics setup for all clients - unless I launch a different junction .... memory leaks are often the killer here though with new graphics it's probably the GPU that's letting you down now...
in otherwords turn down the settings for some /. most of your clients http://eveboard.com/ub/419190933-134.png

Well - I have turned off anti-aliasing completely now, which leaves EVE looking a lot less awesome. Is it to do with the available memory on the card (1.7GB), and would I get rid of this problem buying a GTX 590 3GB card? Or is it to do raw computing strength - in which case a GTX 590 might also do the trick?
I would really value any input/experience from anyone else here.

Well I would suggest not running 5 clients at the same time. Seriously, unless you are mining running 5 clients at once seems like it would be exhausting to play. |

My EVGA Classified GTX 590 carries the load of 5 characters running at max graphics settings just fine.
I guess the I7 2600k helps too. And the 16GB of Corsair XMS DDR3 2000 MHz ram probably boost it as well.
Plus running EVE off an OCZ Vertex 2 SATA II SSD is good.
Anyway it's certainly possible to get good framerates at max graphics over multiple accts.

I have turned so much low that I am hoping for an ASCII option soon.

Haven't tried Crucible, but I had no issues running 8 clients just a few weeks back...

Anyone have a guess as to whether this is to do with insufficient memory on the graphics card (keeping in mind I have 12GB RAM on the motherboard)?

I can't force any AA in eve atm.
Win7x64 nvidia 560Ti, the newest drivers.
I tried in game settings - doesn't work I tried force global settings in nvidia driver panel - doesn't work I tried override app settings with AA for eve.exe in nvidia panel - doesn't work I tried it with HDR and without HDR enabled I tried fullscreen and fixed windows
game was restarted after each change ....
I could force AA via driver settings easily 1 year ago.. now I'm back to game and its looks ugly
any tips ? |

i7 970 @ Stock 12GB Ram MSI GTX280 2 Monitors (1 @ 1920X1200 / 1 @ 1920X1080) 5 Clients with max settings (apart from drone models)
A noticeable drop in FPS since the expansion but nothing major .. I would say the clients dropping down from maxing at 60fps down to around 45ish.
Indeed, something is eating FPS :( |

From my experience, the biggest FPS eater since the expansion is the shadow, even if it's only on low. Turning it on has more impact on the FPS than AA/HDR/Postprocessing etc. |

If you run 5 clients, you shouldn't even want to consider beauty, but saving power. So everything to low and there you go.

5 (five !!) clients at the same time in RAM, high-quality-settings all, at best performance expected? It's astonishing, that this was working. I would expect two clients on a high end PC running smooth at the same time in this way, but not five.
I personally pefer "no AA" at all, disabling such things like "ClearType" where ever possible. This saves processing resources and gives me a sharp picture = an advantage of the modern displays. I do not want back the blurry picture from old CRTs. |

Unless you have multiple monitors showing all your different clients then it is very unlikely to be your graphics card causing the problem. It only has to do the work for which ever client you have running on your screen at a time after all. it doesn't actually draw clients running in the background. A couple of questions for those with problems??
What processor are you running and with all clients running how much of the processing is being used (check your win task manager) How much ram do you have and again how much is being used? What drivers are you currently using ?
Since the majority only seem to have been having problems since the patch, and knowing what was in it, this would seem more likely to be a memory/memory allocation problem more than a graphical one. the increased workload from this patch wasn't only on to your graphics card, there were changes made which would increase memory and processor usage.
Some of the graphics cards you guys are mentioning are well capable of displaying everything eve has on multiple monitors at once without any problems whatsoever, let alone alt tabbing between multiple clients. |

Thats funny...
My 4 year old PC consist of an old Quad-Core @ 3.2GHz, 8GB DDR2 and a 5770 from ATI (It originally came with a 260GTX i thought I burned to a crisp, that wasnt the case though..)
I can now run EVE Online much better than before. Since Captains Quarters and the NEX store were implemented I haven't been able to run more than one client, without a significant FPS drop. Even with one client running my GPU would overheat and the fan would spin like it's life depended on it.
Now my PC won't make a single sound, and I can run two clients without any drop in FPS. |

Confirming CQ takes longer to load. I made a new character today to see how far along the new player experience has come since I started playing, for ***** and giggles. Character creation was terribly laggy when any changes were made, and before it was smooth as butter on my rig.

Now that I have tried Crucible... I can agree that even two clients don't run that good - adding another one makes it horrible, close to unplayable even if I only run on good gfx on one client and lowest on all others.

From what I know is that EVE eats memory when running on Windows. In Linux it draws a bit less. About GPUs memory would be the biggest issue right now. Both the nebulas and CQ are eating memory. CQ does not draw however until you enter it.
Processing power is not needed with EVE however more clients need more but memory is the biggest issue here. AA eats memory so having more Vram is ofcourse better. One thing to note 3gb 590 from nVidia is 1.5gb per GPU not 3gb so it wont give you allot more. (you got 1gb right now if im not wrong)
SLI/Crossfire does not increse memory so dualgpu cards only have 50% available of what they say. (4gb 6990 is 2gb vram for a game. 3gb 590 is 1.5gb vram for a game)
Hope I did everything clear. Also sli/crossfire work only in fullscreen applications. Tag shortcuts - Make an FC enjoy his position more! |

Anti Alising in EVE has always been a problem for me. I play with AA on high and it never gets rid of ALL the jagged edges..

I always turn off AA. I haven't had it on in a game for ages. It's one of the things I always turn off. I'm so used to jagged lines on everything, it isn't that big a deal anymore.
I only recently turned shadows on (low) because of the new shadows, to see what they look like. They seem okay, so I've left them on for now.
My computer doesn't really like 4 clients at once though. It seems to do okay and I don't notice a drop in fps. But the fans just start to go really fast like they want to take off and fly away. I don't use 4 clients that much these days. I'm usually just logged into one or two of them.
