Edited by: Makko Verillia on 25/08/2006 18:24:48 Edited by: Makko Verillia on 25/08/2006 18:23:14 I've been playing EVE on a Latitude c610 (p3 1.2Ghz) w/ a nvidia GeforceGo 200. Yeah, it is old. I get MASSIVE slow downs in Hidden Warehouse and the ex-employee missons; I know it is due to object size. I also have a problem with rendered "fog" - like nebula clouds, dark cloud in drone infestations, etc.
I am considering a Compaq v3000 w/ a nvidia 6150 that shares memory with the main system. I know the problems with integrated and shared mem, but I can't afford much more than this laptop, which i can get w/ 1gig of RAM at under $800US.
How will EVE play on this? I want to be able to play the above missons w/o being reduced to 1 fps, or have to turn the camera so the objects in question aren't being rendered.
I know it'll be faster than what I have now, but am I expecting too much?
Thanks.

It'll play decently... but you really can't get even a mediocre graphics card?

Actually the graphics will be fine, it will push the system slightly when you enter deadspace fog etc but that 1gig of ram will allow it to pull through... You wont be looking at the 30fps but you may well get from 15-20fps... which you can agree is playable in eve

Your processor is letting you down more so than the graphics card.

Edited by: Kelsie Verillia on 28/08/2006 11:15:34 I figured people would say such. After looking at the v3000 and many opinions, I think I am going to wait and upgrade to something better. This past weekend I started playing level 2 agent missons, did so on a desktop I borrowed, and noticed the high amount of frig battles in fog formations, so I know I will kill a v3000 quickly.
I was eyeballing the Asus S96j as well, has a ATi x1600 w/ 256meg dedicated. I can get this with a Core Duo (the T2300E model) for a hair over $1000US. I think this route will serve me well for several years, as I don't upgrade very often, as you can tell.
Thanks for opinions.
EDIT: ugh, wrong character.
