Hi guys, im most likely the 1001st guy posting this. But my petition hasnt been answered for decades and im growing impatient.
My specs:
p4 3.4ghzHT
2048DDR2 RAM on a P5AD2-E Del m.b.(asus, with latest bios)
SB Audigy Platinum
GF 7800GTX
Win XP Pro
100/10mbit Fiberoptic connection(89mbit to station)
Im getting about 25-30 FPS whil ein stations, 7-14 while in space(sound off), and everywhere between 0 to 5 fps while in fights.
Its the exact same if I play in 1680, as it is when i try 1024 resolutions. Ive tried to switch to w and z buffers, 16bit to 32bit, advanced device=1. Tried to turn off ALL options in the nvidia controlpanel, ive done the "Boost your FPS"-Tweak Guide from top to bottom. Theres nothing that helps...
My corp friend has about the same specs but an A8 Model asus motherboard instead, and a 6600GT gfx card... he get about 150+FPS in stations and around 60-70FPS in space, at all times.
Does anyone know what i should do? Cause it aint that fun really to try and play when the mouse stutters three meters a time :P
I could add my dxdiag if someone care to read it all :o
btw, im using the latest nvidia drivers atm... someone tol dme the 84.21 forceware drivers were better, mebe I should try those? Having difficulties beliving itd boost my fps 600% tho... :p :)
PS
I just reformated as well... if that helps(insatlled latest drivers) DS
/** EDIT
If i turn off the UI/HUD, i get a boost of about 15-20FPS

think i had about 150m
seems that some data was interfering somehow. usually the cache stored the clicked pics, some texture of encountered objects yada but as said i had a huge fsp drop one day so i killed it :-P
evelauncher does not kill your settings if you only hit "clear cache" btw :)

full acceleration, tried to flip around with those options too.
turned off all kinds off effects, still at crap fps.
and to answer your question. No it wasnt always like this, started around blood lines i think, cant remember for certain though. I quit playing cause of it and now that im trying it again its still **** :I

We have got the same problem. And I've also sent a petition but like you I haven't got any replies yet.
Our computer is more or less the same also. I however run AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 1024DDR2 Ram and so on.
I do however own a ATI RADEON 9550 and that's where I think the problem lies.
I was woundering if anyone could help me out and give me a few pointers in what to do. My max FPS at the stations is around 30 and average FPS is 20.
In space my max FPS is 10 and average is around 5.
I've even tried playing with sound and effects off and it's all been futile. It doesn't even matter if I play in 1280x1024 Resolution or in 1024x768.
W or Z buffers don't change anything nor does it matter if I change from 32 bit colour depths to 16..
I'm all out of ideas and I've searched this entire forums for help but everything I've tried so far has given me nothing.
Please help me. 
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards // Concellor

Cmon guys it is obviously that something is baddly happen with the client performance after patch. Too many of us have been reporting lower performance with less than half year old machines which should run EVE smoothly.
Caches cleared, all kind of game reports deleted, disk defragmented, eve reinstalled, still having sudden bad performance, approx 30-40% of fps loss
I also noticed that bad performance hits occasionaly, not related with peak times
I hope that next patch will resolve that
specs:
playing 1280x960 windowed
AMD 64 3.5 ghz venice
abit kn8 ultra, 500w fortron psu
Nvidia 7600 GT
2x1 gb ram
XP Pro

1.6Ghz Celeron
384 RAM
32mb Geforce2MX
Integrated sound
Thats the setup my buddy uses, and has worked fine pre and post-Kali. Gets a little laggy in heavy combat and the like obviously, but much better performance that what some are listing here.
Concellor: I also have a laptop not too far from the above specs, but with a dedicated 32mb Radeon 9000, and it works alright - better than you listed atleast.
There's a good chance this has to do with other factors than Eve, like spyware/malware/virii' taking up resources, although you should notice this slow-down in all applications then.
Just to cover all the bases, might you want to make sure it's clean. Some to try:
Adaware
Spybot S&D
Also update your anti-virus and run a full scan. AVG is a free anti-virus if you don't have one.
Also wouldn't hurt to do a defrag. 
Not saying this is the reason. It's possible there's something conflicting with certain hardware, but nobody that has posted seems to have much in similiar. If this was really wide-spread it should affect everyone, and so far I haven't had any complaints from friends or corp/alliance members.

tried to install them omega drivers as you said. But when the computer reboots it deinstalls them and my monitor drivers? ...
If I then press "install frmo specific location" it just ignores the omega drivers, the regular forceware drivers from nvidia works fine though.

ya. spyware was already checked, came up VERY clean, no ie user at all he is :-P
skort. meant that you uninstall the driver first, reboot, ignore the installwizard, hit the omegadrivers, it may (or may not.. i use the ati verison of it) then reboot and then should proceed to install the omegadriver
tried killing the folders i mentioned (if you needed the logs, you backed em up and moved em away right ^^ )
didnt helped i guess? :-/

While I hope your problems are solved I do hope the solution to performance problems isn't upgrading. Eve should run more than adequately on a 7800GTX.
Nice card though, let us all know if you see an improvement .

dont forget to UNINSTALL driver for vidcard first, throwing them above your current driver can cause some issues, but usually "works". but you want a clean install :-P
maybe even "nvidia destroyer" or whatever the thing is called to wipe the driver
*oh god, hope he survives*

they doing it constantly m8
you don wanna see what they put in th elast 3 bigger patches :-P
and it went quite well until some ppl wanted colored wrecks (sure its nice), guess that callcs for a lot more db stuff, after the server went backup it was slower than the day before.. thats the way it is currently, moanings about jita and general lag :-P
well see what happens today.
just woke up and compiling the newest 2 patches so the crowd cna stress the server sooner than soon :-P

Hmm. That's a tough one.
Couple thoughts.
Hyper-threading is basically a simulation of a dual-core processor. everything I've ever heard is that Eve doesn't like dual-core.
It probably isn't this, but make sure your Vsync is off if it isn't already. Can't hurt.
Also, sounds like it's having trouble with transparency. Could also be shadowing(since the UI has some surprisingly heavy shadowing effects), I suppose. Probably worth peeking at your video settings. Things to look out for: Soft Shadows. Any kind of Post Processing effects(IE: Bloom). Temporal Anti-Aliasing(Forces VSync on for it to work, only really helps with a highframerate and high refresh rate). Could also try setting the UI full opaque and see if that helps any, I suppose...
Edit: Oh. that'd do it too...lot of cards slow way down if they don't get enough juice...

DO NOT install the Omegadrivers if you have an Nvidia card. Nvidia completly screwed up their drivers, and omega refuses to work on them until they change them and get their act together (Nvidia want to make it hard for people to mod drivers). Only install them if you're an ATI card user, they're officialy recommended by ATI if you're having issues.

Most probably an issue with some other part of your setup then. Something you've overlooked, or a driver you've missed, because it's working fine for a large portion of people (nearly everyone). Try and bare in mind that there's no 100% 8800GTX supported Nvidia driver yet, and you will need a 16x PCI-E slot to make use of the card.
On another note, I noticed you have Win XP Pro. If you do not have SP2, you will need to install it as EVE does not support anything below XP SP2, and 2000 anymore.

Seems weird since I just tried running Doom3 and Oblivion in the highest resolutions and with all extras on the highest setting, with no lag what so ever. Afaik those games are some of the more requiring ones on the market? Ill wait and see if ccp answers my petition some day... highly doubt it though.

Doom3 and Oblivion are graphics card intensive, not CPU intensive, which is what EVE is (it makes far more use out of a faster CPU than a faster graphics card). Try tweaking your processor in the bios, disabling HT'ing, etc.

I¦d suggest you download the latest full client, install it in a fresh directory, install the latest directX revision (9.0c) and the latest nvidia standard drivers (93.71)
- After installation launch the game in default settings (1024x768 fullscreen), check fps
A few other things you can try:
- check in the graphics options if the refresh setting is set to "interval immediate"
- disable any multisampling
- check if there is any other cpu intense background process while running eve via the task manager
- manually raise the priority level of eve in the task manager a few steps
and ofc: get rid of the old hardware and upgrade to serious eve-proven "Yarrrdware"

Right click the eve.exe file and set CPU affinity to 1. Try that out and see if it helps. I know the 3.4ghz is only a single CPU however the HT will show it as 2 CPU's so your only getting part of the CPU power for the game.
Also my roommate found if he reduced his MTU his lag and framerate improved. Now since our ISP is set to 1500 on the MTU that means somewhere along the line reduces the MTU. If we can find out the IP of the server then you can run a program to find max MTU size to optimize that as well.

Yep, disabling hyperthreading should double your FPS, even on a much older graphics card.
A few points: - Hyperthreading was mostly a gimick to encourge software to go multithreaded. As you can see that didn't happen like it should've. - Eve needs a major rework to sort this out. - Don't expect anything more without a much faster CPU or a better coded Eve. Other hardware is not all that important atm, eg: Eve runs fine on dialup.

TBH, a lot of people are reporting really poor framerates since the release of Revelations. Certainly I know my pretty capable machine that was running at 100+fps in space is now running at around 30fps dropping down to 10 or so up close in large battles.
Before I never had client lag issues (I play with sound and effects off 99% of the time), just server/sync issues. Now I get both, despite nothing having changed with my PC and all other apps and games running just fine.
Dude (CCP), where is my framerate?
PS: This is really hurting dual client also.

Yep, I've petitioned it and got the suggestion to make a bug report, including a log from the logserver. I noticed that when exciting EVE while flying in space and then join the game again, would give me the usual fps back but just for a few seconds after it would drop 25% or more.
We'll just have to see and wait.

I filed a bug report, kind of difficult to put much detail into it. "Steps to reproduce: update client" . There have been posts here, in general and in game dev forums about this problem. Yet I have not seen one dev reply even saying they will look into it.
Overall it is kind of annoying, as I have seen the performance of both the client and server drop as I have upgraded over the past two years. Server lag I have learned to cope with on the most part (though it is far from acceptable) but my fleet fights reducing to 5fps slideshows now is totally awful. Sometimes it would be nice to zoom in for once, especially considering how old the client is.
Maybe if we could get some more options to tailor graphics settings we would be able to pinpoint the issue more easily? Just an idea

Read what I wrote, I can distinguish between client and server lag. To emphasize, pre-Kali I would not suffer from low framerates, only from slow updates from the server. Post-Kali I get pretty awful framerates also.
I fail to see how adding *options* changes anything apart from the ability to narrow problems down. Then at least I could file a bug report and say "well I turned on option x and that had no effect, but when I tweaked option y my framerate improved". As it stands currently, you just cant do that beyond the most basic (and obvious) of settings.
Edit: PS not trying to derail your thread and I see personally your client is being somewhat better, but myself and quite a few others are having dreadful performance issues. Would be nice to see some dev feedback

be eve only that has this issue, i run other games like Ground Control II on full detail
and no problemo, i run music programs and i have upgraded my computer and everything else has improved except eve that is decreased only. i hope devs would do something soon..

Sapphire radeon 9550 250MB (with latest Catalyst drivers)

i get FPS around_: in Station 25-37FPS ~ Outside Station 8-13FPS ~ Mission & Astroid belts 2-13FPS ~ Warp drive 8-15FPS ~ About nno change in window or fullscreen mode ~ about no change in resolution same if i run 1024x as 1300x or 1600x..
it must be wrong with how the eve client interact with directX or how the client
act with the gfx overall im no expert but all them stars that came in background
in revelation.. maybe all that has a connection to this graphix issue, maybe not.
now its in the air atleast :D

Seems weird since I just tried running Doom3 and Oblivion in the highest resolutions and with all extras on the highest setting, with no lag what so ever. Afaik those games are some of the more requiring ones on the market? Ill wait and see if ccp answers my petition some day... highly doubt it though.
edit: xp pro with sp2, and i got 16x on the mb
Doom3 and Oblivion are graphics card intensive, not CPU intensive, which is what EVE is (it makes far more use out of a faster CPU than a faster graphics card). Try tweaking your processor in the bios, disabling HT'ing, etc.
Not true in the case of Oblivion:

If your computer runs Oblivion well it should run Eve very well. Oblivion is extremely hardware intensive.

Hi guys,
This may sound weird, but it may have something to do with the ships you fly.
I mostly fly caldari ships and never had any problems with low frame rates. After revelations my fps was a bit lower, but i still get 140 in station, and about 50 to 70 outside.
Today i bought a Punisher (amarr frigate) to transport some stuff from empire to 0.0 and i started to get really low FPS. I would start at my normal FPS, but after a few minutes it dropped to 5 while flying outside. I restarted the client a couple of times, and every time when i was back in the game, it was good for a few minutes, and then it would drop again.
I got to my destination, and got into a caldari ship and roamed in a gang the whole night without any problems...
This could be just a coincidence, but i thought i'd let you all know.

Confirmed. The same issue.
Yesterday everything was OK, but now I enter the game and after 5-10 mins fps drops from 200+ to 5-10
Impossible to play. Relogging helps, but after 5-10 mins all starts over again.

Exaclty the same for me. Fine up until this afternoon, then 5 mins (or slightly longer if I clear the cache before rebooting client), then slowdown to 5fps.
I'm guessing something's going into the cache that's causing the problems?

Same here. Only relogging seems to help.

Had multiple corp members report, like i did, that framerate drops to like 2 fps. Rebooting client helps only for a little while. Signed out in the hope that this 'memory leak'-like problem gets resolved with tomorrow's (Dec 19th) patchround.
Nothing to do with my setup. That runs 150-200 fps easy in 'normal' conditions.

That just shows that a faster CPU makes a different, it still doesn't make it a CPU dependant game. You will get far, far, far more out of Oblivion if you get a faster graphics card, than a faster CPU, whereas you will get far more out of EVE with a faster CPU, than you will with a $700 graphics card.
