I understand that there's a shift toward using more of the GPU instead of the CPU...but I can't help but worry about the huge amount of detail that needs to be processed. Do you guys think FPS will decrease or increase? Lag decrease or increase?
I'm really excited, and at the same time afraid to be terribly disappointed with the performance of my PC =(

I know my pc will grind up the new graphics with a smile, and yes if you have a good pc, eve will be faster with trinity.
It's great being Amarr isn't it.

I read on another forum, can't remember which, that trinity will support dual core, but not quad core. Of course, running multiple clients will benefit regardless.

I remember reading that multicore comps will utitlise all the cores in the future but I'm pretty sure thats when the DX10 version will be released but that isn't going to be this expansion or the next AFAIK.
Just he fact the GPU will do alot of the work should in theory speed it up quite nicely.

The new graphics engine was recently put on Singularity (test server) and it was reported that things run a a lot better. This was without the CPU to GPU improvements though, so when those come it'll get even better.

I dont think eve will be 'faster' at the moment on my current system im pushing at the 200fps barrier even in space shooting shiney things, but in trinity I doubt very much I will get that level of fps, I dont mind if it drops alot 200 is a bit extreme after all. Its a good thing that the engine is moving over to more GPU intensive. I think it will actually help with mutli client users. I know this wasn't in your post but I think the multi clients will be alot more 'larger'.
Look at it this way everybody that plays with more than one client always has a 'main' account. that account they could run under the new engine while they could push all their alts along on the basic client that will be pretty much what we have now. I could actually imagine a much larger amounts of characters being run on one system. Why? well from my understanding the current client is very CPU based and the new basic client shouldn't be much different. The new client high end client will most likely free up some CPU for those alt clients.
Hey dont quote me much on this its just my basic understanding and I know very little but its just my thought on it all :).
I think the new client should be alot more 'smoother' as in loading of textures will be alot smoother instead of killing you for a few seconds then giving you the client back. Along with any other smoother ways of running the game that you can think of. As said before its doubtful that it will run any where near the speed eve can now but It will be alot more smoother while doing so. Linkeh Pooh |

Edited by: Abbadon on 27/11/2007 11:52:39 This is all been covered over 9000 ! times but here goes:
With the new patch EVERYONE gets the new graphics engine.
The new graphics engine uses the GPU far more effectively than current one = MORE FPS FOR EVERY ONE...FULL STOP
Also with the new patch comes OPTIONAL models and textures, these are the shiny new graphics.
To be able to use the OPTIONAL new graphics you need a DX9c / SM3 graphics card.
To check if your card supports these, use this TOOL written by CCP

you scare me... if im lucky i get 30fps while doing agent missions, 40-60 flying around. 80 in station. thats on the 7900GS
but regardless, i feel better now, thank you CCP dude.

oh thats right, but what will happen when you put the actual graphics on there is my question. like the 1.3 gigs worth of details and textures. wont things be different once you upload that on SiSi?

Although probably not if the GPU is crap. My laptop uses the Intel 945 chipset (950 gpu) so I doubt it'll improve much. Although rather oddly the Sisi client says my laptop supports the new content.

Edited by: Baleur on 27/11/2007 12:26:44 If you get 200fps its time to put on some AF and AA and transparency AA and AA gamma correction and stuff like that.. What are you gonna use 200fps for? NOTHING. Might as well use some of it for increased visuals, damn newbie dorks with their computers their mom bought them, with themselves not even knowing how to change resolutions in a game. Have fun playing in 800x600, enjoy your 200fps.
I'd rather have 50fps with kickass awesome resolutions and AA than 200fps and everything looking like a grainy piece of turds.

I've tested the new graphics engine on sisi. ON TQ atm I get 35-40 FPS in space with effects and sound off. On Sisi with the same options I get 75-85 FPS in space, so yes, it's better  ------ Proud Member of 5punkorp |
