To all those with graphics card issues with CQ: Try turning "interior effects" to low and see if that helps. If its not enough, then hit that "do not load" button.
I have been testing on ALL settings... I have a core 2 duo intel processor and Giggabyte GTX 460.... and on everything low or off I still overheat my GPU with my CPU running at 80~90% on both cores, just to stand still. my ave FPS goes from 20 to 30 by changing the settings but overheating happens either way.
now if I went into CQ when I wanted to and didn't need my in space UI, then it might be ok... but as it happens every time we dock, and there is no content, and the new UI is fail... I am just not going to load it.
CCP should provide separate settings for in space, and in Incarna... and they should find out what is nukeing my CPU/GPU... and they should put the damn hanger back... Till then I wont be using CQ on TQ.
I will never be using the 'Noble (read money-grabbing) store' so, that is a total waste of time... And sad cos the 'free' outfits are pretty bad...
I don't honestly know what's wrong with your system but I'm running a core2duo 3ghz and a gtx285 and I get 60 fps in CQ and my gpu runs at normal running temperature. Which drivers are you running? What brand of card? Have you messed with any fan control settings? It doesn't make sense for your card, which should be more powerfull than mine to give lower performance.
Could be the system chassis thats causing the issues, i am running a 8800GTX OC'd card, in my old case with very bad cooling my GPU Was idling at around 80c, i rehoused my system into a Coolermaster HAF922 case and now my GPU under the load of 6 eve clients and various other bits is around 56c also my frame rate is about 20FPS higher now cause my card aint to concerned about its welfare :P with those specs the heat is gonna be the issue as the 460 kicks out much more heat than the 8800, also might want to try a custom cooling solution on the card itself, that could help if a chassis change is not an option, however if it is i would strongly recommend any Coolermaster HAF case.
