Very good thread, thank you.
However, seems my card is little outdated at the moment 
Any advise of what kind of Geforce card that is running exellent with Eve but is not in several hundred dollar class.

I'm running Eve with an FX5600 (128MB) atm. This card set me back 130 squid at the time. I had to stick with the Nvidia 53.xx driver though, as the newer ones were incompatible with Eve....

Thanks for the advise.
I had that card in mind, even 5700 256ram - below $100.
Cant wait til I get my fps up ALOT :)

Guys, I am having an FPS problem as well, but I am not sure if it is the same one as you are having.
Config is AthlonXP1800+@1533Mhz, 1Gb RAM, WinXP, Radeon9600Pro, SBLive, EVE windowed
Sympton is: game runs fine on and around stations (35-45fps), but as soon as something starts to goes on (major corporate mining, PvP between fleets, entering a complex) the frame drops to about 0.5 - 1 fps.
I'd really like to know what fps is considered to "low" in Eve. What FPSes are you guys talking about? Somehow I have the feeling that my 0.5-1 fps is so ridiculously low that none of the above hacks would really help it... I mean a speed increase of 100% would still be completely unacceptable.
I tried advancedDevice=1, turning sound off, switching fullscreen (about 30% increase), reinstalling windows, directx, drivers. None of this helped.
So, anyone with similarily low fps?

with turning sound off you mean your tried CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F12 right? Because this suck most performance on my PC, when mining or fighting.

Hi, I have been trying to boost my FPS by using the suggestions posted here. Any suggestions to help a user of Windows ME (shows the age of my computer  ) was just curious as it looks like a lot of the suggestions go towards Windows XP users or am I just out of luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

Where is the option to turn off the sound from the prefs ini? Having to turn off sound with CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-F12 is not enough. Your system might crash before you manage to shut downt the sound due to the poor compatibility between Eve's sound code and my Audigy.
. . . Awaiting more and hi-bit rate music - with bated breath ... |

Just patch problem
Ok I have tried some things and all I can say is that it become even worse.
The worst thing was when I changed the bufferzise to 256 (I have 512 ram) it become very jerky. So I needed to put it again to 80.
The priority didnt gave me much, only 1-2 fps and the extra things that apeared at graphis were all in place, like immediate, etc.
So the single thing that still boost my FPS is the sound that I knew form a friend.
Well I think it will be time to change my 1600XP+ and the Ti4400 to somthing newer. They made theyr job for 3 years now.

A Ti's easily capable of coping. It's the RAM and CPU that are limiting you. CPU in particular, I suspect. Ti should cope admirably with most games for a year or so, yet.

If you don't mind not having eye-candy then you can go to advanced display properties and set your slider to 'Performance'. Those eye-candy lovers can set it to 'Quality'. I'm not 100% sure if EVE overrides this or not?
Does anyone know if EVE can use either OpenGL OR DirectX? I know OpenGL normally gives better speed than DX, but normally DX9 looks better (except in Doom, which looks pretty much up there!).

Not directly to FSP but it helps windows to do the background stuff so overall efect might have a kick :
Try also defragment your hard drive ... when swapping starts you are in prolemos but it helps if you have organized your disk ...
If you have not done defrag at ages this really can help but it will require lot of time to run it first time.
I am personally using 100% of PU when eve is running :(
Going to try these on Monday

Turning off sound completely (ctrl-alt-shift-f12) gave me a tremendous fps boost, however I think the problem where it helped was not the saem "low fps" others were experiencing, it was something much more unnatural.
Before turning off sound I had around 30fps in the game in peace-time, however on combat scenes, especially when drones and missiles were around (complexes, npc chaining, corp mining) it dropped to around 0.5-1.5fps. Sound effects were also laggy, as if the computer had problems mixing all the missile launch sounds at once, and CPU load was sticking at 100%.
Turning off sound brought it back to 15-20fps, CPU load at 70%.
Hardware was AthlonXP1900+, 1Gb RAM, Radeon9600Pro, WindowsXP fresh install, Sound Blaster Live PLayer! 5.1
Before finding the sound-off-fix I tested on the same machine with WindowsXP, XP SP2, tried with GeForce2Ti instead of Radeon, tried both DX9a and DX9b. So my final conclusion is that EVE has driver or hardware-level problems with Sound Blaster Live or with my motherboard. Other games did not do anything like this.

my fps has always sucked..never got bad lag though for some reason..also never been in terrably large fleet battles. but then I do the advanceddevise thingy and find out it's already on immediate :( so i can't boost my fps even if i wanted to.Did the other stuff it moved my fps up a bit...I doubt I'll notice it much :(
Will have to do window mode when in fleet battles I guess is best option.

since exodus my FPS in game has improved. where i used to do a screen pause warping into roid belts and gates etc now i dont really, unless LOTS of items there. Used to run game on Athlon xp 1700+ w/ a GF4 Ti4800 in 4x agp mode. worked fine. running windowed in 1200x900 around 20-30 frames max.. usually more towards low 20 avg.. for me thats fine. now on new box, amd64 3000+ with the same video card now in 8x agp mode i get 50+ easy windowed in same resolution. Buffer size i think is standard.. i havnt messed with mine before or after the new computer. O
****But heres the real tip. **** Something that may help those of 512meg system RAM and lower with 128-256meg vid cards.. Lower your AGP Aperture (sp?) in your bios. May or may not help.. but helped a friend of mine in various 3D situations. AGP Aperture takes system ram away and basicly reinforces the Video card's ram, but honestly if you have 128-256meg card you really dont need it. That amt of ram on a vid card is more than enough. That way more of your system ram is free, less hard drive paging.. possibly little better FPS. Depending on your system config, lowering AGP Aperture to 128 or even 64 (maybe lower) might help.
