Paulo Damarr	Posted - 2007.11.30 21:16:00 - [1] To get the most out of Trinity I just ordered a pair of 8600GT 512mbs and an extra 2GB of DDR 800 to double my ram, cool thing is delivery is the 4th of Dec so I can install it patch day Anyone else upgrading?

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.11.30 21:22:00 - [2] I have a 500$ machine, a Core 2 Duo @1.6 GHz, 1 GB system RAM, almost bottom-of-the-line 8500GT w/512 RAM, running windows XP Pro SP2. Can't say I care much about how "Trinity Premium" looks like with extreme shadows, HDR and High-Bloom compared to no shadows, HDR off and no bloom. On those latter settings (just premium content, everything else OFF), it runs with 30-40 FPS in-station zoomed in, 40-50 FPS in not-so-crowded places zoomed mildly and 80-ish FPS on rather empty grids and zoomed so you can still see how your ship looks like (barely). I see no reason to spend a dime more for any upgrades. C\|S\|I\|N\|x.

I already had an ATI x1600Pro 512MB PCI-E that can handle Trinity's requirements, but I've updated the drivers, just to be safe.
Rhaegor Stormborn Pestilent Industries Amalgamated The Volition Cult	Posted - 2007.11.30 21:25:00 - [5] I upgraded 6 months ago for Trinity. My 2 8800GTX in SLI & e6600 core 2 duo will finally be used to their full potential. [PIA] Recruitment Thread
Cybarite Gallente Aristotle Enterprises Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2007.11.30 21:27:00 - [6] I just upgraded to a MSI built Radeon 2600xt with 512, my mobo and chipset aren't new but it is a dualcore athalon x64 2gig so I don't think it'll have a problem. so yeah I get to see the pretty stuff, now if only I could get the test client to download it... ... Why do I PvP? Because I love the feeling I get when I see the pretty lights and know that someone somewhere is screaming incoherently at their computer screen.
Gabriel Karade Nulli-Secundus	Posted - 2007.11.30 21:35:00 - [7] I would, but I need to be strict with myself My machine's over 4 years old now, so it's not as if it's not overdue, but literally everything has to go ---------- Video - 'War-Machine'
Sfynx The Arrow Project Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.11.30 21:35:00 - [8] Originally by: Rhaegor Stormborn My 2 8800GTX in SLI & e6600 core 2 duo will finally be used to their full potential. I'm tempted to buy two of those new 8800 GT cards in SLI, I'm just not sure how many % performance gain I'm gonna get with SLI compared to one card. For example at AnandTech: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3140&p=12 you see a lot of difference in gain between games. I'm surely willing to spend some money on a SLI setup, but since this is the only game I play I want to be sure the new game engine scales well with an SLI setup. Else it is just a waste of money. I'm expecting to lose a bit on SLI overhead of course, but even a 50% gain makes it a lot less cost-effective.
Majestik Gallente Freelancing Corp Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2007.11.30 21:37:00 - [9] I should be ok.

Nito Musashi	Posted - 2007.11.30 21:56:00 - [10] granted i had hdr on and high shadows but i warped to gate on sing and fps was in the low 20s with just concord and the gate and 5 people total in system. not a good sign. play crysis at very high and 24 fps is smooth but same in eve is chop, never mind all that is going on in crysis vs what is going on in eve. hope they have a little bit better optimized build for trinity really, cant say my little test gave me alot of faith.

Hamfast Gallente	Posted - 2007.11.30 22:18:00 - [13] I would never upgrade for a game... I upgrade because it's time to upgrade (or Thursday, which ever comes first). --------*****-------- It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

With 4 cores and 4gb ram & sata raid hdisks on his new pc i think i can probably remote desktop into his pc over the lan and run eve without him even noticing. I win.
ViolenTUK Gallente Vindicated Exiles 101010 Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.30 22:42:00 - [15] Well my 2 year old pc runs the Trinity fine. I am going to upgrade next year but that is for another game. www.eve-players.com

Considering SLI isn't going to help EVE much, I don't know what you got a pair of 8600GTs. One 8600GTS would probably serve you better for significantly less money. --- Proud Amarr pilot.

Gridwalker Amarr	Posted - 2007.11.30 22:50:00 - [18] Yeah, I just replaced my aging Radeon X800 with an nVidia GeForce 7300 GT. Trying to buy another four months out of this four-year-old rig. One thing to keep in mind, for everyone trying to upgrade ancient machines on the cheap: you probably have AGP and not PCI-E, which limits your options. Even more importantly, however, you probably have a cruddy 280-350W power supply. When I was looking for cards, there are several AGP cards out there which are a lot more advanced, and a lot more expensive. Normally I would have gone for one of those, but... my power supply simply wouldn't be up to the task. The X1650, for example, requires a 550W power supply with at least 38amps on the 12v rail. I can't imagine what the X1950 requires! If you're putting in a new AGP video card, be certain to check the wattage of your power supply first, and make sure your 12v rails can handle the current! (Can't wait until the spring when I'm going all quad-core and top-of-the-line-video!) -Grid

Or 1950 GT or 1950 pro, 1950 pro would be best IMHO.

Dual Core 6850 2.66 nVidia 8600GT 2 gig Ram Asus PK5 Mobo All so very stable for teh overclockage ... Edit: Anything I do now, nothing runs below 70fps.

Ofc, it hasn't gotten rid of the lag in 150+ member fleets. _____________________________ Eldo spanked my sig but I can't be bothered changing it just now.

Dred'Pirate Jesus Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2007.12.01 02:15:00 - [32] Just had this arrive a couple of days ago.. C2D E6750 Oc to 3.8 gig 2gig OCZ Reaper DDR2 800 cas 3 MSI NeoCombo-F mainboard ATI X1950GT DDR3 256bit 512mb (was only $90 so don't crab at me about not getting an 8800.. ) 2 WD1600 SATAII It OMGWTFBBQ's Eve premium with all ingame settings maxed with extreme shadows and 2x AA.. I get about 30-40fps at the FF1 with lots of everything on the screen.. Setting shadows to high boosts it to about 90-120 fps in the same area and settings.. Screen res is 1920x1080.. Eve classic on the other hand does a lot better than the current client on the same hardware but all the old problems are still there like long grid load times and such.. Eve premium is looking to be the client of choice if you want no client side lag in major engagements..

I upgrade because it's time to upgrade (or Thursday, which ever comes first). What? If you never upgrade for a game, why are you ever upgrading? You dont need more than a P4 1.6ghz to use Firefox or Word or msn messenger or winamp whatever else you are doing rather than gaming. The only reason to upgrade a computer is for the games lol ------------------------- This post represents my entire alliance views and opinions. Not.. ;(
Mallikan Gallente Spartan Hoplites Rare Faction	Posted - 2007.12.01 04:05:00 - [39] Though not for Trinity, I did upgrade recently.. From an Athlon64 3800+, 1 GB DDR, 7800GT, to an Intel C2Duo 6550 2.33 @ 3.1 GHz, 4 GB DDR2. Of course I still have the 7800GT for a while. But hey, Christmas and all. With HDR and the shadows set to Low, I run an average of 30-50 fps at 1440x900. Not that impressive but better than I've been seeing. Anyway, back to overclocking.. I think I can hit 3.3 GHz. --- lol.. I messed up.

I would advise everyone to avoid Vista like the plague...it is truly a piece of garbage at the moment.

After this, it'll be some obnoxious new system next year, dual or quad-core with some ridiculous hardware.

Mashie Saldana Minmatar Hooligans Of War Insurgency	Posted - 2007.12.01 10:31:00 - [48] I was about to upgrade my system but then I found out that Intel and Nvidia are in a licensing ****ing contest right now. The result of that is the new 45nm Quad cores can't be used in SLI motherboards. Ah well, guess I just have to play at a lower setting for the next 2-3 months as two x1900xt in crossfire can't handle the Trinity engine at 2560x1600, 12xAA and 16xAF.

Dao2SKP Perkone	Posted - 2007.12.01 16:19:00 - [60] you upgraded TOO 8600 gt's? man what a way to go :\| couldn't you have just ponied up an extra 50 for a 8800 gts and had something 100000000x better ;p
Inertia Foryu Caldari Spacely Sprockets Ltd	Posted - 2007.12.01 16:51:00 - [61] Just a quick question. If I have an AMD Athlon 3400 now, would I benefit to update to a dual or quad core if I plan on running only one instance? I'm not worried about ram/video card - I just want to know if changing chips would help? .... My Eve Music
Lysianna	Posted - 2007.12.01 17:00:00 - [62] Edited by: Lysianna on 01/12/2007 17:00:08 Author, I had the 3500+ before my upgrade and from what I remember, the game had some issues once in a while. Specially in huge battles, so unless Trinity is extremely polished, not sure if the 3400+ will cut it. my current kit: Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs) Memory: 2048MB RAM (633mhz) Hard Drive: 320 GB Total (SATA 7400RPM) Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

(The 3400 runs at 2.2ghz). Your dual core runs at 2.66Ghz. I don't see that being such a big jump in speed. I am unfamiliar with how dual core works - I think that eve will still only use one processor, right? .... My Eve Music
Paulo Damarr	Posted - 2007.12.01 17:46:00 - [64] A dual core CPU is always better even if a game doesn't directly use both cores because you tend to find 1 core handles the OS and other background processes while the other runs the game, that's an oversimplified description as there is more to it than that but that's the basic principle.

Flow Befort GoonFleet	Posted - 2007.12.01 18:07:00 - [65] I upgraded for Trinity a few months ago when screenshots were starting to be released more frequently. E6600, 8800GTS 640MB, 2GB RAM, etc. I bought a 22" dell widescreen, too. Eve looks gorgeous as it is with this setup.

Apsley	Posted - 2007.12.01 19:44:00 - [68] One PC will run classic & bought a cheap nvidia 7600GS for the other to get a flavour of the new dx9 stuff. I think that's fine for me atm. I'm long overdue for a whole new PC but I figure I'll wait for the dx10 version. I'm assuming that means I'll be waiting for years but thats ok as long as these 2 old warhorses hang together Aps

NUKUNNI TRADING Amarr Antares Frontier The Fifth Race	Posted - 2007.12.02 01:25:00 - [73] Upgrading to a 5200 AMD Dual core (2 x 2.6ghz) with a 8600 GT card and 2 gig DDR2 (800mhz) - Running Vista home premium. Current PC - Sempron 2.6 (18 ghz) and a GE Force 7600 with 1 gig of slow old Ram on Windows XP I'm hoping that this will help me with the following issues: 1) warp into fleet battle. - Lag out and die staring at the same frame for 5 mins 2) jump through gate - wait 30 secs for screen to load while everyone else warps off 3) 2 - 3 fps when waiting with a large gang with nothing going on Please someone tell me I've got a hope of improving my gameplay with this setup It would also be nice if the upgrades PC made Amarr work, but lets face it CCP don't really want to fix Amarr, do they?
