Sapphire X800 Pro VIVO with bios unlock to 16 pipes and currently running X800 XT speeds, will be doing a bit of judicious V-monitoring and upping to X800XT PE speeds/BIOS. The Arctic Cooling range of GPU coolers are your friend.
Anyone with an X series card (and even 9xxx series I think) I would recommend they get ATiTool (maybe link when I get home from work) as it provides a lot of extra info compared to the current Cats.
Currently (with 500/500 X800XT speeds) I get 120fps in station, 60fps deadspace combat and mining and drops to 40fps outside Rens Brutor Tribe Treasury (though I can't think why  ) |

So far I r loving my X800XT, plus with ATi just getting their version of SLI ready nVidia will not be the obvious choice in that case, especially considering that it looks like the ATi one will not have the compatibility problems nVidia are having.
EVE needs a big ass CPU, FX-55 = teh pwn, but if you are stupidly rich, so does Dual XEONs or something like that. Then of course there is going to be dual core CPUs and... and...
Damn it my system seems like **** now 
But, 2 clients windowed mode on my 17" LCD with each client running 1152x864, twas 80fps avg for each, of course I can't be bothered to pay for 2 clients so I don't do that any more.
A64 3500+ OCed
X800XT Not OCed (yet)
1Gb PC3200 RAM
I did OC my gfx card at one point but got some problems, but i find that my CPU running faster gives a better boost to EVE than the gfx running faster.
But now I'm just rambling because i didn't think out what I was going to post 
But onto getting a new gfx card, with PCI-E get 2x 6600GT SLI or a 6800GT/Ultra or X800XT/XT PE or if just AGP 6800GT/Ultra or X800XT/XT PE
You shalt be pwning your current card methinks.

Possibly a cheaper interim solution while we are all waiting for dual core and the likes is to run a water cooling system. This can then of course be transferred over to your new system when you upgrade only needing a few different parts (e.g. waterblocks may need changing when socket design changes).

burned out my 9800 pro running 2 accounts on two monitors.. just be careful doing it.
Hehe. Happened to me too 2 days ago with my 9800Pro. Now I get a 6800GT (should arrive in the next days)
Overclocking gfx memory was not a good idea. It seems it killed a memory controler since my PC didn't even boot. Well, one learns from experience ;)
A 6800GT should be twice as fast as the 9800Pro.
Don't bother with something like 6800LE. The 6800LE has about the same speed as a 9800Pro.
With the 9800Pro I got 28fps on two clients. I expect to got 40fps on two clients with a 6800GT. Can someone confirme that?

Go with a ATI card and plug ya TV in to it and use one track ball mouse and a light up keyboard sit on ya bed and play or get your self a dream game chair with speekers in it and feel EVE as you play.

That must have been a really bad cooling solution somewhere then  Either that or a good one that got clogged with dust. Multiple eve clients does push your hardware to the limit, but if it's operating within manufacturers spec, it shouldn't get damaged. Of course, it will show up problems that may not have been noticable in other situations. And it's always advisible to check your computer has sufficient ventilation, and is reletively clean inside.
I burnt out my 9800 as well. Seems like the ventilation on those things are prone to dust clogs. I kept mine dusted and it still looks grimey in there everytime I opened it.
any tips on how to keep dust out?

It's indeed a relatively unknown company. It's dutch, so go figure.
Anyway, they deliver most of their cards already overclocked and with extra cooling, so you still have warranty without hvaing to twiddle around on your card. My Gf4ti 4200 with 128 mb ram is built on a 4600 reference board, with clocks of 250/660 standard (normally it's 250/425 for a 128 mb gf4ti4200). Also all the mem blocks have their own cooling... I can run doom 3 and stuff like that with everyhing on and it still goes with 30 to 60 fps with my athlon xp 2800+. Also, the memory is somehting like 2.2 ns response time? Or something like that... It was a lot faster than most of the other gf4 cards.
Anyway, Point of View is a realy good card manufacturer... Hard to get, but also hard to get rid of :)

This is using the newest Nvidia drivers.
I've found that loading time into memory is a big influence. Having only 400mb/s mem speed in the Dual caused very low fps when loading new items on screen. Upgrading the mem to 900mb/s did a lot to improve it but still not enough. And the low processor cache on the 2.4gig celeron screws it up. Clearly the PIV with more and better cache improves fps a lot.

any one checked out the Render quality Nvidia vs ATI?
personally i dont mind losing a few frames for the fact that ATI at best performance Smokes Nvidia at max quality :)
Nvidia use shortcuts and are ****! btw EVE x4 Temporal (ATI BABY) Anti Aliasing and x8-x16 Anisotropy Looks sooo sweet and runs like a charm on my R9700 Amd2400 1gb 2700 Ram

I upgraded recently from GF 4 ti to asus GF 6600 GT.IT seems great to me, Eve looks much better and runs smoothly , i realaised some of the lag i had before in big battles was my video card lag, now its much much better.
Also it wasnt that damn expensive

I am using 2 x 6800 GT in SLI mode at the moment, works great. :)
However, geforce just released 7800GTX.
 Do I need 2 of them? 
I do think about it. But I have feeling they will release a monster version soon, like they did with 6800 ultra.

No you do not... anandtech benchmarked eve and showed that it was CPU limited with a FX-55

If your that high on cash I suggest the tyan K8WE motherboard with 2 275 Dual core Opterons :P That'll empty your bank nicely.

Well, damn, I'm running Eve on a GeForce 2 MX, 32MB. Talk about old skool. The only slight niggle is that any time anything explodes (cargo holders, or my ship more often than not), then fps takes a dive. Not to mention if I venture to stray near a complexe. But, meh, I'm a retrosexual
Will be getting the x800xt soon. Go ATI!

I'm running eve on my crappy onboard video card now :)
But I'm upgrading my card now, so I'd like to know what to get. I have a very limited budget (this will come straight from my beer budget), so I'm looking to spend about 100 euro.
Looking at some different cards in a random store this gets me one of the following:
Radeon 9600 PRO - 256MB
Radeon 9800 PRO - 128MB
Radeon 9600 XT - 256MB (little more than the other 2)
I'm a complete n00b when it comes to computers, so help me out here :)

Agreed with Airpizza though if you can buy the 9800 with 256MB mem it would be better. As with all things PC more mem is generally a good thing.
Or search E-Bay for an X800.
Also as I think I have said before fitting one of Arctic coolings range of Radeon and nVidia aftermarket coolers is good support for your card (though it makes a Radeon take up two slots).

I currently run AMD 64 3400+ , 1GB corsair twin-x xms, with the ATI 9600XT (256mb) average fps around 40-60 depending on drones out and other players but all runs pretty smoothly . Upgrading to AMD 64 X2 4400+, with one XFX 7800GTX OC, in a few months

3500+ AMD 64-bit, 2 gigs of RAM and an ATi X850 XT card = 1600x1200 windowed + 2x in-game Anti-aliasing and the highest colour palette the game offers. No lag at all, smooth as silk.
And this was lagging on my old 2500+ AMD and 9800 Pro card.
Going to go try some 4x or 6x AA with some Anisotropic filtering from the ATi control panel now...

I agree that the GeForce 6800GT is probably the best bang for the buck, especially with the new generation coming out. I just wish CCP would fix the graphical bugs with NVidia cards. I mean, they don't impede gameplay anymore, but Amarr stations look ugly, not awesome. Graphical tearing for the lose.
Anyway, another NVidia fan chiming in with his opinion. So long as I'm not running videos or anything in the background, my combo of a Pentium IV 2.53ghz, 1024MB of RAM, and GeForce 6800GT runs EVE like silk. Even better post-patch.

I'm running a GT6600 128mb.
I've got it overclocked and my performance is amazing, minus some of the terrible graphic design everything else is good.

I burnt my 9800 Pro too. The problem with them is that they dont have memory cooling (most of them).
So actually my Radeon 9800 Pro's memory went to dust.
I switched to nVidia 6800 GT (Leadteck A400 GT TDH) because it does support Pixel Shader 3.0 unlike X800 and also got a huge cooling solution :)
I saw that some x800 still have no memory cooling so they'll gona die sooner then later.
Plus i can run Guild Wars on full details with 4x and 8x (AA and AF) with ease. Ups did i say Guild Wars on a Eve forum ?
