Nigel Sheldon	Posted - 2007.11.29 19:11:00 - [1] Make your voice be known here. I for one will sadly not be able to use the new graphics engine,so will have to listen to annoying people for ages going on about how sweet and sexy it looks. Should i shoot myself now...or later? anyone else preparing for the worst?

Daelorn State War Academy	Posted - 2007.11.29 19:25:00 - [12] My craptop can play the new content pretty well, I get 50 FPS alone, around 30 fps with like 30 people around and the lowest I get 10FPS. Pretty awesome for a integrated card. But still soon I'm probably going build a nice desktop as a Christmas present for me You should do the same!
Nigel Sheldon	Posted - 2007.11.29 19:28:00 - [13] what i don't understand is that i bought my laptop just a few weeks ago from the last of my savings, so i don't see why it shouldn't run it...but according to the link on one of the other forums i don't have this shading capability which is sad as it means i will have to wait to middle of next year before i can get it.....the problem with desktops for me is i tend to move around a lot, so a laptop is much much easier as i said not blaming anyone, just this was supposed to start as a light hearted post on join the club if you can't play it and cry here, and has turned into something that from a couple of posts are damn right rude!
Zeonos Amarr Fairtrade Syndicate	Posted - 2007.11.29 19:30:00 - [14] Edited by: Zeonos on 29/11/2007 19:30:17 i don't think its that ubber. guess my hopes was to high, the textures still seems bad, the effects aren't centered, some of the colors is nice enough, and ship designs, and the lightning/shadowing is good as well. and most laptops have a ****y gfx card. mostly onboard, thats why it dont support shader 3 Look I Hijacked a sig!! -Kaemonn <3 Kaemonn -Zeonos A sunset with Kaemonn... how nice... -Wachtmeister In Eve-Online Forum Hijack Signature! -Ivan K This space is reserved for moderator hijacking, Need more colors!

Ciara Daag	Posted - 2007.11.29 19:55:00 - [17] Originally by: Nigel Sheldon Make your voice be known here. I for one will sadly not be able to use the new graphics engine,so will have to listen to annoying people for ages going on about how sweet and sexy it looks. Should i shoot myself now...or later? anyone else preparing for the worst? My computer at home is a core2 duo e6600 with a 2900xt running vista. It runs perfectly,actually its amazing. (and dont give me that garbage about how vista sucks. Id be a fool to buy a $400 video card,and then gimp my system and not be able to play DirectX 10 games) On the lower end,the computer in my office here is a 3Ghz P4 prescott (presc-hot) with XP. I recently upgraded to a 7600gs and it runs eve classic great. Im downloading the new graphics right now and I will report how it works as soon as its finished. The 7600gs is a AGP card by PNY. Althought I dont overclock it,it overclocks by 50% without any problems. (thats 1.5x its stock speed) Thats with the stock cooler. I expect it to do a decent job with trinity but we will see.

That might not be entirely true. Its not for hte faint of heart or those that dont have some level of technical skill (although you might have friends that can help). Some laptops use a graphics card. Its usually specific to the model or family of laptop. An example was the Dell inspiron 8000,8100,8200,C800,C810,C820 and M30 mobile workstations. They all were built on the same chassis and shared their components. The motherboards were upgraded between models,as were the graphics adapters,but the parts were rather interchangeable. Many people installed the newer graphics adapters in the older computers. There are many computers like this. There is a gotcha,many of the internal connectors are very fragile and made only for a few connect disconnect cycles,so you have to be very carefully doing the upgrade,it risks damaging the laptop if you screw it up,and if you have to break warranty seals ,it voids your warranty. (if you dont break any seals,you put the old card back in and send it back,and claim that the intermittent bad contact on the video card "just happened" ) It is hoever possible on some models,but you have to be willing to take the risk,and it is best to do it on a model that others have done the same to so you know what will work and what might not.
Nito Musashi	Posted - 2007.11.29 20:09:00 - [19] I see a ton of people upgrading/buying entirely new pcs just to run crysis at highish settings. upgrading for eve certainly ought to be a lot cheaper than crysis. bet you could get a pc for under a grand that would run the trinity engine well long as you arent going for ultra high resolutions and max all gfx settings.
Ciara Daag	Posted - 2007.11.29 20:35:00 - [20] I just finished downloading the new graphics. It runs pretty good on my 3ghz p4 with a 7600gs. If you have a AGP system and need to upgrade its graphics,this seems like a good choice if your on a budget.

Gane Green Gallente Dominus Imperium	Posted - 2007.11.29 20:39:00 - [21] Running the new stuff with 6200. It works. It looks good. But I wont run the new stuff. I get better fps off the clasic client. I prefer functionality over shiny. If God was a number he would be over 9,000!!!!!!!!!

Tech3	Posted - 2007.11.29 20:44:00 - [23] hope my old agp card will be ok -----------------------------------
Phony v2 Caldari FAO Inc. Rare Faction	Posted - 2007.11.29 20:47:00 - [24] Me being extremely stuborn will be running the new graphics no matter how badly my computer handles it, no matter how many ships it costs me. I WILL ENJOY THE NEW GRAPHICS _______________________________________________ Yes, in the back, the idiot with the dumb question?

If you have a AGP system and need to upgrade its graphics,this seems like a good choice if your on a budget. Im actually looking at a 7600gs to replace my aging 5900ultra, and if that will work im thinkin thats the route im gonna go, damn im glad i got that bonus at work now, early christmas present for me Originally by: Korran Minare what would you put on space pizza anyway????
OOOSOOO Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.11.29 21:21:00 - [26] Well, I can't afford to ride to work in a limousine. So I don't. ---------------------------------- I post therefore I am bored at work.
Omega Man The Geddy Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.29 21:39:00 - [27] i am pleased this thread exists, for a long time now I have been really ****ed off i could not run Eve on my BBC Micro. Come on CCP, think of all those machines gathering dust, its just not right. - - Happy user of CAOD troll cleaner http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=584345

Nito Musashi	Posted - 2007.11.29 21:51:00 - [29] old pcs do have an option use the classic gfx client, not like ccp is forcing people that play to all run out and upgrade or stop playing. so you can keep playing upgrade later or keep playing and never upgrade its entirely up to you and your wallet.
Kyra Felann Gallente Red Eye .Inc.	Posted - 2007.11.29 22:15:00 - [30] Originally by: Nigel Sheldon Make your voice be known here.

Should i shoot myself now...or later? anyone else preparing for the worst? Make your voice known? What, because you have a crappy old computer, people with decent computers should miss out on new graphics? Either upgrade, buy a new computer, or accept that you can't play games with the latest in graphics and deal with it. There will still be a version that should run as well if not better on old hardware. In short, quit whining.
