I would like emphasize that this change now in minimum and recommended system requirements will not exclude any current hardware compared to the previous system requirements. In particular we are not making any changes on 10 July to the EVE Client that will prevent you from using your current computers.
With the new system requirements we are creating a baseline for the future. You can still try and run the game with unsupported hardware, we just can't guarantee a good experience. Using supported hardware we will be able to detail what you should be able to expect. Erlendur S. Thorsteinsson | Software Director | EVE Universe, EVE Online // CCP Games | @erlendur |

I don't study video cards, especially since I'm currently still using a Mac Pro for my EVE machine and have very limited options for changing it. I wish there was some sort of way of specifying cards other than by product names.
I are confused. -á |

That gives the product names. But it does not say anything about shader models and such. CCP, how can we determine all that on our machines? http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

OMG You no longer support my 15 year old PC, i hate you ccp, im quitting eve, send me isk, and i will double it.
edit, if high rez texture and tessellation strikes at the same time, im quitting my job.
Another edit, my 5850 is under the recommend specs, yet i can run 2 clients on 2 monitors, @ 1920*1080 everything high. Unless this is about to change. The tears of the many, outweight the tears of the few. Or the one. enterprise-psi-¬

I've been running EVE on Windows 8 since about February, with no issues, so what do you mean by official support? Do you plan on having a Metro tile or something? This is my Raven. There are many like it, but this one is mine.-áMy Raven is my best friend. It is my life. I must ma-*pop* ... This is my pod. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

The card is fine except for the Wine wrapper around EVE. Unfortunately, my computer budget went into my son's new gaming rig. EVE sure does run sweet on that thing... -á |

I see dual/quad core processors are now recommended/required. Does that mean we can expect EVE to take advantage of hyperthreading? |

Supporting Windows 8? Microsoft doesn't even use Windows 8.
All good stuff, though, guys. Let's get those hi-res texture packs, pl0x! I love Dust514. But it needs more EVE. Read my idea on how to do this at General Tso's Alliance blog: http://3xxxd.blogspot.com/2013/06/dust514-uprising-needs-moar-eve.html |

Would be nice to have some test stuff to run, whether my box will be supported. I'm often using my laptop to run the client, and i've got quite limited options to upgrade the vidcard in this case. So it'd be nice to know when will this lappy become obsolate for eve. Like there was also such a tool for that shader3 upgrade. |

Are the new recommended system requirements established, while having in mind running multiple (3-5) clients simultaneously on full quality settings in 1080p or higher resolution, do you aim to guarantee perfect user experience in such a situation?

Still supporting XP? Seriously, let it go. It's time for that OS to die. Heck, in less than a year even Microsoft isn't going to support Windows XP. |

Thanks, CCP. For updating the game and THEN the requirements. Backasswards.
Yes, I am bitter because my GTX280 is no longer working WITHOUT any notice it would no longer be compatible, until now.
I'll take my $15 bucks to World of Tanks. |

EVE currently makes little use of it, so recommending quad cores is silly. And the GIL problem in Python is still not solved, so I don't see that changing any time soon. |

The only thing that concerns me is the graphics card. I run EVE on a laptop and just don't have the money to buy a proper PC, and under "Graphics Devices" it says I have "Intel(R) HD Graphics". This is running EVE just fine at the moment, but will this change? Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to 'rage quit', but if my machine can't run it then I just simply can't play it. As an underpaid university student atm, buying any new hardware is simply not an option for at least another 12 months. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Hi Vincent,
The best way to identify which shader model your GPU supports is to look up the features of your graphics card from the hardware vendor such as NVIDIA or AMD.
This is the only real option available to Mac users that I know of IGÇÖm afraid.
Windows users can run this tool to quickly identify their GPU and shader model support: http://content.eveonline.com/devblog/SM3Checker.zip

My card meets the feature requirements. Performance is low but useable. Is there some other way of specifying the minimal performance baseline other than features and memory?

That was incredibly helpful. Turns out, my pithy little integrated graphics does support SM3, which makes me a very happy camper

The recommended system requirements are based on one client running maximum quality settings with one client.
Running multiple clients or being involved in resource intensive scenarios such as fleet fights are something we cannot maximum settings while having smooth visual experience as then we'd need to lock down exactly which hardware was used to ensure it worked.
