im going to spend about 300E for a new GC, and i would like to know if there is a far on top one for eve.
im also intersted in using 2 monitors, 2accs for each monitor, if poss, and maybe some1 knows if the money allows it
thx for response ;)

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.

Am I reading you right in thinking you want to use 2 monitors, with 2 accounts on each monitor, making for a total of 4 accounts running at once? If that's what you're aiming for, you're going to have bigger problems than your graphics card. Even the fastest processors are going to struggle running 4 clients at once, and you'll probably need 1.5 to 2GB RAM to keep from swapping constantly - so a machine that stands a chance of doing this playably isn't going to be cheap - it would probably be cheaper to buy two lesser computers and run 2 clients on each.
Of course, if you just want to use 2 clients, one on each monitor, then any mainstream card in your budget should handle it these days. Dual-client eve is far more likely to be CPU-limited than graphics card limited.

oops sorry totally forgot i ever posted here so i never followed up on this thread. to answer your question I was running 2 accounts on 1 computer with two monitors. 1 account per monitor. I had always noticed by 9800 running hotter than i thought normal from day 1 but i always put off looking into it. It is very likely i got a defective card out of the box but it got the job done and it just didnt seem like a big problem.
bottom line, no permanent damage done and ive got a 6800 that works wonders now. =)

Tis what I use but there is a lighting bug on all GF cards that is in the drivers, ATI doesn't have that particular bug. Example, when mining and in nebulas... the lighting will flash.

Eve seems to be far more CPU limited than GPU limited most of the time - probably why people see such varied results when comparing fps on various graphics cards.
If running eve currently slaps your CPU hard against the 100% mark, then you won't get any more speed by upgrading your graphics card. From what I've seen, only rigs with the latest processors will need the newer graphics cards to keep eve going full-speed.

EVE is very CPU bound--anything TI4200 or better will run EVE perfectly. And a TI4200 costs 20 bucks. A 9800 Pro will run everything maxed on an FX-55 with top AA/AF with no graphics card bottleneck. But the best values ATM are the 6800 regular and 6800GT.

got here 2x MSI 128MB nVidia Geforce 6600GT PCI-Express 16X graphics card working together.
monitor on 1600x1200 resolution 19"
its better performance that the 6800 ultra on doom3.
amd at a cheaper cost of ú112.71 inc each., could be more at your retailer.
you vchoose 300+ for 6800 or ú240 for 2X 6600gt's
but yeah if you only run eve you really don t need this.
one 256mb 6600gt will do the job great really.that alone will run doom 3 at 50 fps on average at high resolution.
Ati are good perfprmers but get dwarfed by Nvidia when it comes to high resolution.
dont know who so don t ask.

The ATI X series just flat out smokes anything on the market now. No wonder Microsoft gave Nvidia the boot to the a$$ and choose ATI to supply cards based on the X series for the Xbox 2. Not to mention MS is adding extra funtionality to Longhorn (next version of Windows)for computers using ATI cards.

I don't know were you pulled this BS from, nVidia's 6x00 series is far more technologicaly advanced in terms of Archietecture, it fully supports Dx9.0c including shader 3.0 ATI does not. Ati however did offer the better card at the time of designing the Xbox NEXT's guts.
the x800 is NOTHING but a beefed up 9800core, yes the core is quite nice, but it's still 2-3 year old design. and is behind for the future.
It's similar to the AMD64 vs. P4 presscott, in the 3200+ and 3.2 ghz sets the performed basicaly the same, but now at 4000+ and 3.7ghz the AMD has a very nice performance advantage. the reason is AMD has new systems, 64bit and a spectacular architecture, wereas the p4 presscott(even the 64bit/1033mhz FSB stuff) is still based upon the netburst core that the old p4 northwoords used.
If anything ATM the nvidia cards will offer much better performance with the fully accelerated longhorn UI that will make use of DX10.
I run eve with a 6800GT using dual monitors, I only run one client but there is no precivable slowdown when running things on the other side.
But Eve isn't a vidcard intensive game past a point. the CPU draw is much higher than even the Source Engine or Doom 3 on highest settins with my computer.
As far as recomendations with the current cards it's more a a matter of brand loyalty if your talking flagship cards (6800/x800) but if you go midrange(6600/x600) or lower the nVidia cards hold the edge. The 6600 has the never been seen before awsomeness of being as good or better than the previous models flagships.

I can't comment on recent offerings, but my Geforce4 Ti4400 works quite well. I have been able to run two eve accounts, a tv tuner, two movies, and UT2004 at the same time with all of them being happy on either monitor. I am extremely happy with how solid my 4400 is. My next card will most likely be an nvidia.

Hi,
there shopuld be a kind of database, including all cards and their performance within eve-online.
I¦d be interested, whether a NVIDIA FX5200 would be enough for running EVE with 1280x1024 with all graphic features enabled ?
I know the FX5200 is crap considering its performance at all, but is it enough for playiung eve ?

I run a 5200 128mb. It does the job, but you may find that to maintain 30+ fps some graphics features have to be disabled. Turning off Trails helps no end, esp in combat. and have a fiddle with the advanced graphics settings (obtainable by tweaking the preferences ini file, there's a post about it somewhere in workarounds) that helps.
I'm an oldskool gamer though, so prefer fps over pretty looks.
Maybe look at a 5600, they run dual logs with ease.
Maybe buy a mac... |

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).

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?

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'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 ?

My X800 pro does nicely in eve, but never tried two monitors :S
Have that card also. 2 monitors works (until my 2nd's power supply blew) - also 3 clients (multiple installs, default graphics/settings) plus plenty of random programs too

Running eve with amd64 3400+, 1gig ram, x800pro vivo.
I'm using an 18inch lcd, at 1280x1024 with max colors/af/aa settings. Have just recently upgraded to a third account, triple accounting seems to be going very smooth up to now.
Will see how my rig performs with all three chars in a belt.
To overheating a radeon 9800's memory, this did never happen to me. And I get even less airflow down there due to me watercooling the whole rig.
What did my 9800 after year of faithful service was a drop of water due to shoddy workmanship. |

I've played EVE on:
Geforce4 Ti4200
GeforceFX 5200
GeforceFX 5600
GeforceFX 5600 Ultra
GeforceFX 5900 XT
ATI Radeon 9200
ATI Radeon 9600 PRO
ATI Radeon 9800
ATI Radeon 9800 PRO
And by far the ATI Radeon 9800 PRO was best. I have around 90fps in space, 40 fpg in fleets, 160-200fps in stations.
I play at 1280x960 windowed mode with 32bit color and 32bit depth buffer. (Athlon64 2800+, 2GB RAM).

Hehe. Happened to me too 2 days ago with my 9800Pro. Now I get a 6800GT (should arrive in the next days)
I also killed my 9800Pro running two clients on two monitors.
I was getting an increasing amount of artifacts and simple crashes.
I eventually determined that of all the potential things that could be wrong; it was the Power supply, at the time I was using an Antec 350W, which just wasn't enough.
Starving a video card is not a good thing.
Cooling wasn't an issue though; I had a Zalman VF700-Cu on it.
I upgraded to an Antec TPII 550W and a GeForce 5500FX and all the problems went away.

ATI Radeon 9600XT is well enough to run Eve flawless on a resolution of 1280x1024. I fitted an Zalman graphics heatpipe cooler on it with fan added, so no noise.. perfect picture. I use this card for over a year now on a Athlon XP system without any problems. No overclocking whatsoever. And the price is nowadays quite fine...

KK, about to do an extensive rebuild.
New mobo, 64 bit processor, 6600GT SLI version (faster than agp, marginally_
Got the gainward version. cant find em in agp ne more.
The gainward performs above a GT for some reason. Squares up the the 6600 ultra for performance, and pwns standard 6800 (I think) reason being the 6800 has some of its pipelines disabled. (again I think)
/me reminds himself never to post under the influence)
Will post results when I get them.

Just my opinion ....
but 40 or 120 fps practically makes no difference in EVE ...
40 fps you can get with 100E Nvidia ...
so ... if you gonna spend 300E on a card - think of what else you'll want to do on it .. what games/applications.

What is interesting is tht I'm running a BFG GF 7800 GTXOC 256mb video card, and it spins up my cards cooler to max sometimes. But the graphics don;t seem like anything special. I eman Half Life 2 tazes it too, but that's at 1600 x 1200 with 8X AA and 16x AS on. What's with the EVE graphics engine?

Is anyone here running a mobo with the Via PT880 chipset and a relatively new nVidia card like a 6200 with the latest drivers?
The real challenge is to find the optimal decisions, which maximize the expected values of specified variables resulting in the most desirable outcome.

Nvidia's 6600GTX
pricey, but luvvly
i wouldn't recommend an ATi, as although the framerate etc etc are all similar to nvidia, the picture quality is naff, and the cooling is crap without upgrading it.
one thing i would say, is up the processor and memory b4 the graphics card, eve responds better to this.

If i where you i would not even upgrade the card, if you only play eve.
I recently upgraded from a 9800pro to a X850XT, and i didnt get any FPS increase what so ever.
After alot of debating on the tech. forum (got a post there somewhere), i concluded that EVE gains 100 more times more with a new CPU then a new GFX card.
Dont recall the exact specs, but on a 7800GT card with a 3400+ (whatmodel i dont know), the cpu was the limiter.
Same goes for me and my p4 3k and 850, alot of more FPS in games like quake/doom/fear but minimal increase in EVE.
trust me on this, get a kick ass processor instead.
