So I want to be able to run 2 Eve clients with everything maxed, without having to lower my windows 7 wow factor qualities and such.
If I do so right now I have ti minimize 1 client to be able to get 60 fps on the other, otherwise both clients start to choke.
Also I will be getting a second screen so I'm pretty sure this will lower my performance as well.
My options seem to be crossfire with a second 6870 card and maybe a solid state for the eve client + windows?
Any opinions will be duly noted.
Specs
Edit: The RAM is showing as 668mhz. this is in fact supposed to be 1333mhz |

SpecsEdit: The RAM is showing as 668mhz. this is in fact supposed to be 1333mhz are you running your clients in "Interval Immediate"? Because that'd improve performance like mad, but you wont have v-sync, but that doesn't do a lot anyway, apart from be really taxing.
Wouldnt that just overheat my GPU until i can start using it as a smelter? |

Ok thats some good info.
After reading it I ahve some points and answers that might help
The GPU is the HD 6870. 1gb version The case is what appears to be a no name brand case. it seems solid but as you stated lacks air flow. This is one of my big concerns and will be adressed asap. I actually didnt think about the case.
I have an aftermarket Heat sink on the processor and its been dialed in so the fan spins faster as the CPU needs it im not sure why its so hot if the fan isnt even stressing itself.
SSD is something I am very much considering and will most probably if not deffinetly get and keep the 1tb disk as storage after formating.
When I change out for a new case i will clean everything with Comp. air thats a for sure on my list.
Also high priority = move my GPU down a slot.
As for cases and ssd. Since I live in Iceland everything costs a lot here and all that typical "economy crisis crap". I am considering:
Coolermaster HAF 912 gaming
Cooling System: Front: 200 mm red LED fan x 1, 700RPM,19dBA (can be swapped for two 120mm fans) Top: 200 mm black fan x 1 (optional ; can be swapped for two 120mm fans) Rear: 120 mm black fan x 1, 1200 RPM, 17 dBA Side:120/140 mm fan x 1 (optional) plenty of fan options there which would sort out my main heat issue.
120gb corsair SSD Stick eve and the OS on there
a second Benq screen 22" LED. This may be the culprit for the hicups. 2 clients on one screen seems to be a bad idea.
One last thing:
Im going to take it to some more professional hands when I do this and have them recheck the cooling agent on the CPU and help me with the fan setup and such. |

reason why is because with dual monitors and eve in windows mode @ around 3360 x 1050 my system with the 2600k and a radeon 6780 the game lags at the title screen and is lil less than smooth in game. with that being said it is still playable but when you factor in two clients it can git a bit choppy and unplayable at times.
not sure if troll.. |

I honestly dont know But like i said the ram is wrong on that, its supposed to be 1333mhz I have no idea why it says what it says.
What im going to do is get an ssd, better case, better airflow/cooling and a second screen, this should fix all my issues.
I just needed a second opinion on the matter (they always help)
Edit: I turned of HDR on both clients and ive been running smoothly since then. These hicups that happened have stopped and havent happened tonight. |

Plain and simple the system should run 2x eves with no issues.
Maybe removie the virus
um... also
DDR...
GOOGLE it...
..... whats 1333/2?
.........
the issue like is you are running AMD... they NEVER have good drivers....
um... the
ATTITUDE...
IS NOT NECCESSARY...
...ok? I came here asking for advice because getting information about an eve related issue is kinda hard to dig up unless A) I get outdated info because you know, new generations of hardware are being pooped out annually B) I find some very irrelevant information on other forums about elitist overclockers who have never played eve and talk about how much they can over clock this and that
So making a new thread and getting fresh opinions on the matter and seeing if anyone is in the same situation seemed logical.

not trolling just relating a experience . there is a difference i did not think about at the time how ever . you will be running two clients at 1920 x 1080 or 1680 x 1050 or maybe lower or higher i dont really know. im running one at 3360 x 1050 res and if i run 2 its pretty bad so maybe thats my issue . hopefully your 2 clients will run fine . if you find what your getting inadequate you can easily upgrade . Ah fair enough Yes i will be running 2x 1920x 1080 |

Boomhaur wrote:I start with a proper case for cooling and just OC the CPU, and the GPU if you want for now. Since you said the CPU fan throttles up when needed either manually set it higher for now or keep and eye on it after you OC it. This is assuming you have a good CPU heatsink and know how to OC.
I try to avoid overclocking as much as possible, mainly because i dont trust myself with it.
And like I said before getting a new case and cooling equipment is high priority right now. |

Im still going to upgrade the pc because, heck, i can. Oh, yeah. HDR basically causes all your GPU cores to crunch hard numbers and leaves little for the frames. Good you figured it out!
Well thanks for the help anyway, it opened my eyes to some issues with my pc which are in dire need of a fix. |

Wow, a lot of good info there, Im going to see how my schedule is next weekend and might go look at some cases and now after that good read i know what to look for in a case.
What I like about the haf 912 is that I can change out the 200mm fan for 2 120mm fans. and after reading that 200mm fans arent very effective then I will keep that in mind when looking for a case.
It never gets too hot here in Iceland so room temp. is always around 20-25-¦ C for me.
I'll also look up more info on the ssd i have in mind and will get your guys approval when said info presents itself.
I am right now cleaning up the pc, deleted a lot of spare junk, rank Ccleaner and im in the process of uninstalling and then defragging the disk.
When I get the SSD I will be setting up windows on there and formating the HDD.
