hi. so i've acknowledged that my hardware might begin to become out dated, or at least not good enough to smoothly run two or more EVE clients. so i'm wondering what kind of settings I should fiddle with to get better performance, while still having decent graphics?
with one client going, this game looks awesome and runs perfectly. but when i load my scanner alt, things start to chop a bit and I get much lower FPS. so is thre anything I can do to optimize my client or something? I like to have ok graphisc. :P
Intel quad core 2,66GHz processor, 4GB RAM and HD Raedon 4890 graphics card (I'm 80% sure that's what it's called. |

Sorry, forgot to include what I want to prioritize, etc. :) I mainly do PVE nowadays, so larger fleet battles isn't an issue. But the most important thing is that the proximal environment and ship looks as good as possible.
My current settings are all max, except anti aliasing, which is on low. I've tried fiddling with various settings, but I get so indecisive. 
I don't use CQ either. |

Do you think that will help noticeably? The graphics card has its own GUI for overclocking built into the control center, so it's not a lot of work to actually do it. |

Be verrry verry careful. Overclocking without knowing exactly what you're doing is a fast track to buying a new graphics card.
Yeah, I know. But I'm thinking that if it has a chance to give a significantly better gaming experience, it might be worth looking into.
Heh, I actually tried to use the overclocking functionality of the Catalyst Control Center a while back, but I got a BSOD before I really got to test it out - though that turned out to be driver related, so no apparent hardware fault. |

Hm, I've set this as the settings for now. Haven't tested it out much yet, but FPS seems to be fluctuating between 45-60 with two clients, with no significant "chopping", except the map. Have googled some for tweaks/tricks, but all I came across was a EVElopedia that said to turn off brackets, so if anyone have other tips, I'll take 'em like I want 'em (which I do, so that was a rather dumb thing to say).
IIRC I could run two clients fine (three if the third was on medium/low settings) before the Carbon UI. It was really after that point I started noticing a drop in performance. |
