Hi, I'm wondering now days, what res do people play eve at, on what size monitor?
Using what graphics card?
Is your fps smooth?
I currently use a 19 in flat crt, @ 1600x1200, with a 9700 pro, and fps is very smooth unless I open up a bunch of windows with items in them.
I also just bought a viewsonic P225fB 22" which can do 2048x1536 res. If i remember correctly, eve can do this res. Can anyone confirm this?
Does anyone use this insane res? With what card, and what type of performance? |

Coincidentally, I just remembered that back in alpha, you could only play @ 1024, and I used an original GeForce 256 ddr to play. The fps were smooth, at an avg of 50 fps. |

I play at 1024 X 768 with an old school CRT 19 inch monitor. Refresh at 70..
Right now I'm using an Nvidia Geforce 3 TI-500 64mb with the 45.23 drivers. (anything above that and my comp crashes at windows startup  )
It runs pretty smoothy, though it gets a bit choppy if I have too much goin' on.

1024x768 on a Peacock 17"
System specs are Athlon XP 2000, 512 MB DDR 333 and an ancient Geforce 2 which will be replaced next month.
Eve always runs windowed, settings are the same as the previous poster's.
Fps IS smooth until more then 10-15 ships are displayed at once.
Btw HOMO or anyone: would you recommend the 9700 pro instead of a comparable Nvidia card? I can't decide which one to get

21" HP Ergo Monitor which is about to explode
GeForce 4 Ti4200 AGPx8, run 1152x864 windowed mode, or 1600x1200 fullscreen. It's very nice to run high resolution, suddenly all windows are not in your way when you're doing someting.
FPS is smooth, can't complain.

I play at 1600x1200 using a 9800 pro and a 21" Samsung 213T TFT-monitor. Running smooth as silk on my P4 3.2 @ 3.52GHz. :)
Before getting my new 'puter I played in 1280x1024 on an Athlon 1700+ and a GeForce4 4400, was smooth enough up to about 20 ships+drones on screen.

1280 x 1024 x 32@60, 2xAA, 8xAF on 18.1 NEC UltraSharp LCD
Raddy 9700 Pro
EVE fullscreen with 100% transparent 'pinned' windows
(Props to CCP for making the text so readable, even at 100% transparency)
tied with a 3.06P4 and a gig of PC1066RDRAM, EVE runs like a champ and is just visually stunning. No jaggies here, and still very good performance even with all the alpha transparency going on. (again props for this).
I do have to relog if I play for more than 3-4 hours at a time due to 'jerky' graphics. I think this is a memory leak or something, as it clears up after a restart of eve, then I'm good to go for another 3-4 hrs.

Yes, going from a geforce 2 video card straight to an ATI radeon 9700 pro will be like night and day for you. I went from a geforce 3 to a 9800 non-pro card and it was definately noticeable improvement, especially turning on all the AA/AF options in games. And thats with identical system specs as yours.

i play on my main PC @ 1024 x 2560 i think, i use 2 monitors, it's quite good once u get used to it, plenty of space for windows.
my other monitor on my second PC can only do 1024 x 768, but my laptop can do 1600 x 1200.
I could run 1600 x 1200 on my main PC fine with no fps troubles ( FX 5900 ultra inside ), but i found the text was too small to read, so i find 1280 x 1024 is best for me and the distance i sit from my screen, unless in need glasses.
i have found dual monitor setups to be very tricky with nvidia cards tho, have to run it in extended desktop mode and not nvidia dualview mode.
as for advanced grafix settings, my card will handle them all perfectly, but 2bh, when u play normally u don't need them all on.

I got two 21"s
lefty is at 1600x1200, and eve runs windowed at 1280x1024 (so I can fit teamspeak next to it)
righty is the same, but I have winamp next to the window.
lefty is a Athlon 2100+/gf4400ti
righty is a P4 3.1Ghz/gf5600fx
performance between the two is practically identical.

That's pretty sweet dude.
I run windowed at 1024x, 9700 Pro, with a SyncMaster 181t - 18" LCD. It's treated me fine so far, get pretty good fps nearly all the time.
Thinking about grabbing a CRT though. Not sure which kind though, haven't looked around all that much. Either that or get a 9800XT.
I got a 3Ghz, 1GB RAM computer. hmm...or maybe more RAM.
