you dont need more then 1 graphics card, I run with 1x ati 4870 with 2x 22inch monitors... and thats with 4x clients :D
Window mode on all clients and make 3 clients in the lowest possible resolution ( put them on the second monitor ) and then have your main account a little larger resolution on screen one. I have my fleet buffer, salvager, frigate annihilator on the lowest possbile graphics setting and then my tank on the highest possible just to have some nice affects somewhere :D |

I currently have a machine that is unable to run EVE on multiple screens - the minute I drag the game onto the second screen, the FPS drops significantly to a point where you are like a fast paced slide show. It also happens when I launch the second account onto the second screen. According to the GM's or Tech GM's they said it was Windows XP being unable to support the ability to run across both screens. One is a 22" and the other a 24". I tried running the game at the same resolution on both screens and different resolutions, and finally tried running the game across both screens using their different max resolutions, and then the max resolution for the smaller screen - none of the above worked.
Current specs are:
Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz
4GB RAM (3.25 useable due to XP 32bit).
Nvidia 560ti (DDR5 - 1GB)
Not sure what the issue is, the graphics card is more than capable of handing the instances of EVE. Has EVE become more CPU demanding rather than GPU? The ram is low I know, but it should be able to handle it (I can dual boot no problem, triple boxing starts to run into issues)
I plan on upgrading this PC:
Intel i7-2700k at 3.5Ghz - Turboboost up to 3.9Ghz
16GB DDR3 Ram
Nvidia 560ti (DDR5 - 1GB) - Same graphics card from old computer
The intel motherboard that comes with the CPU has 1 PCI-E 16.0 slot or I can set it to run 2 PCI-E 8.0 slots in SLI. My question is - whats better?
1 560ti at 16.0 or 2 at 8.0 (I'm fuzzy in that area whats the difference between 16.0 and 8.0)?
Or would it just be best to stick with one card, but find something better than the 560ti?
I want to be able to run 2 instances on 2 separate screens at the same time, and be able to switch back and fourth while using both of them.
I also want to be able to dual box a third account on one of the screens.
Any help is appreciated.
Windows XP.... There is a word that should be able to help you somewhat... UPGRADE!!
It will fix it all for you... |

The only thing I have to do is change the resolution and what monitor it appears on when I open it a second time, third time and whatever. Never gone past 3.
With seperate clients you need not change resolution all the time :P |
