OmegaTron,
My machine setup is:
AMD Athlon 1.33
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard
512 mb pc 2100 RAM
ASUS GeforceFX 5600 256meg
20gb 7200 RPM HD
WinXP pro sp1
and it runs Eve perfectly smooth at 1280x1024 resolution with "planet detail" set to high.
Your machine should be plenty fast enough to run Eve however there are many things that can affect performance besides the system specs. A couple of things you might want to check out:
-When you aren't "doing something" with your machine, how much of the system resources are being used? How many programs are running in the background? A good way to check this is right-click on the Start bar and go to "Task Manager." The performance tab will show you some useful info as will the processes tab which you can search for any running processes on the internet to see whether they should be running or not. You can also simply look in the bottom right-hand corner near the clock to see how many other little programs are running. The best advice is to shutdown any programs you don't need and see if that helps. Performance can especially be inhibited if you are running any third-party GUI enhancements like stylexp or objectdock. If you are you might want to try and disable them before starting up Eve and see if that helps.
-When was the last time you defragmented your harddrive? If you can't remember or it has been a long time you might try doing that by going to the Start Menu>All Programs>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter and running a defrag.
-Do you know if you get good bandwidth throughput where you are? Since you said you are on cable you run the risk all cable users do which is poor performance due to shared bandwidth usage. Eve is a pretty optimized game in terms of netcode but if you are having terrible ping times or any packet loss that could cause problems. You might try running some of the tests at dslreports.com which will let you know if your bandwidth is ok. I think you have to create a login to use the packet loss test but it might be worth it. You should run any tests at the same time you would play the game as problems relating to shared bandwidth can often be time sensitive as the problems stem from other users doing specific things with their connection. Also, if you are sharing your bandwidth at your location with other computers through a router or switch you might check to see if those computers are doing any net-intensive things while you are trying to play.
-Are your nvidia drivers up to date? Your windows system? Go to windows update
and make sure you have all critical updates and driver updates available. You should also pick up any recommended updates that you think you would want. Then go to the Nvidia Drivers Page and make sure you have the latest drivers. You can check your driver version by seeing what number the nividia page leads you to and then go to your start menu, right click on My computer and go to properties, click hardware tab, click device manager, expand display adapters, right click on your vid card and go to properties, click on driver tab and look at the version number. If it is lower than the one on the nvidia page, time to update it.
-Going back to system performance, one quick way to help things all the way around is to go to the start menu, right click on My Computer, click on the Advanced Tab, click on the Settings button under the Performance section, and select the option for "adjust for best performance" which will get rid of all the frills that are part of XP. Be warned, doing this will make your XP look as ugly as windows 95 but at least it will run fast :-)
Hope some of these things help you mate. I know there are more things that can affect game performance but I can't think of them at the moment. I can tell you that, at least in Eve's case, the video card makes all the difference.
As I said, my athlon 1.3ghz, 512meg DDR ram system with a geforceFX 5600 runs wonderful which is interesting considering my work machine which is a P4 3.06ghz with 512 meg of Rambus ram and a geforce4 mx420 has trouble at 1024x768 in stations. Your card is just a step below mine and is a directX 9 card which is what Eve was built on so you should be sitting pretty and your card has plenty of ram. Good Luck! :-)
