Just wondering.
I have the following:
Intel 2 Quad CPU @ 2.00 GHz
6144 MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M, 1GB memory
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
DirectX 11
Alright, I admit it's not the next generation computer. I bought it about a year and a half ago, specifically for EVE. Back then, it used to run two clients at all the details maxed out without problems. Nowadays, I have to turn everything down to the lowest settings to even make the game playable. (off-topic: uh, isn't software supposed to get better with new updates?) I have very recently reinstalled all the software from scratch, if it helped at all then only very little.
Enter the new character creation system. Alright, high shaders. I can do this in-game, if I run just one client and have absolutely nothing in the background, and it's barely okay. So I turn on high shaders, and leave everything else at the lowest level. Bam, not even 5 FPS. It's a slideshow. The character is moving around faster than I can hope to make any changes.
So I am wondering - if you can run the new character creation smoothly, what kind of machine are you using? What was CCP's target minimum specs when (if?) they tested this?
The dev blog talks about phasing out ten year old computers - why, when one can not even create a character, let alone actually play, on a machine barely one year old?

Yeah, you look nice! 
I had some problems too though, I turned down the shader to edit the body,
then turned it back on for the makeup and clothes.
With the shader turned up I get 5fps if I'm lucky... I really need a new comp before Incarna arives...

That thing is far more powerful than mine, and yet my character creation went smoothly.

Great story but you probably want this in CAOD so feel free to post there with your main.

That GTX 260M is teh FAIL. Buy a desktop radeon 5770 and stick it into your laptop.

I have the same issue. I run EVE on low settings normally. It will just about run on high, but be laggy. Okay for PVE but not PVP. But it *will* run.
On the character creation stuff though I'm just like you, I can't do anything with the creator at all.

DISABLE CLOTH SIMULATION, it is literally the biggest sucker of processing power if physx is not enabled or installed for nvidia cards and never available for ATI.

Ran mine on an Acer 6935g laptop
3GB Ram
512MB Geforce 9600M
Windows 7 Ultimate
tbh, my laptop is in no way as good as the ones in this thread but runs Eve great on max settings.
Some of the new avatars are quality haha

AMD Athalon II X2 220
3GB RAM
Nvidia GEForce 9200
result: extreme lag in character creator - 5-10 seconds rendering each change, UI often unresponsive. Not a pleasant experience at all - eventually just broke down and hit random.

Well.... I'm running a P4 with 2 gigs of ram and a HD3870 512MB. The portraits i can create with this machine are in my bruce boxleitner topic. My pc is pretty much worse than yours and it's doing just fine so? All on high except no HDR I think. 1650*1080 Resolution.

silky smooth with an older radeon 4870 but i haven't finalized any yet.
so far, from what i've seen of the new avatars is that most people are still just as bad at making them as they were before. maybe even worse now that there are even more ways to make them look ridiculous. it's like they get tunnel vision and so involved in trying to make something mean looking, they end up looking more like a creepy sex offender or someone on the verge of crying... or in Xituqtra's case, just mercilessly beaten with an ugly stick. |

Op: Seems like your video card is the bottleneck. Either that, or something is abusing your system resources.
Am running this game on the following:
AMD Turion 64 x2 TL-60 @ 2.00 GHz
4 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M (Integrated memory)
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
DirectX 9c (Hardware doesn't support DX10)
It's a three-year-old laptop that will soon be in its fourth year, and was never intended for gaming. I suspect that CCP, when checking user hardware stats, assumed that just because a machine can hypothetically support Shader Model 3, it actually supports SM3 in real life. It doesn't.
It runs both the in-space portion and the character generator just fine so long as shaders are set to low. Of course, what you see on the computer isn't really what the final result will look like, so hopefully CCP will provide server-side render previews in the next patch. High shaders make the in-space portion of the game barely playable if there is more than one or two objects on screen, and make the character generator completely unusable even if all other settings are set to low. By unusable I mean that it takes literally up to and over five minutes by the clock to move between screens, and the frame rate has on one occasion dipped below 1fps. As in, it took a full three seconds for a new frame to appear.
