Come on - ATI 3450 AGP video card w/ 256MB RAM(Shader Model 4.1) costs 40-45 USD and there are even newer models to be released soon!
If you have a computer with *only* PCI slots, why don't you just send it to the museum? For 150 USD you could buy second hand machine capable of running SM 2.0 game and for 300 USD you could buy an ENTIRE NEW machine capable of running SM 4.0.
And just because 2-3% of the player base could not / do not want to afford some upgrades (though playing with multiple accounts! on multiple machines), it doesn't mean that the others have to OBEY THEIR ULTRA-MINORITY-DICTATORSHIP!
P.S. If you want to play EVE on your mobile phone or on the ATM 'round the corner - sorry, it is not gonna happen 
P.P.S. Can I have your stuff when you leave?

You seem relly happy Hawk TT telling people to just go buy new PC, while you are ok with your uber duper machine. Point is that some people have other priorities in life and EVE is not one of the top. I for example only support SH2. No i dont think im gonna buy a new PC for just EVE. And no i wont give 300USD to buy a second hand almost crap PC jsut to be able to play a game. ight now. The people that without them EVE would have bankrupt years ago...[/b]
40 USD for a SM 3.0 AGP Card to upgrade your 6 years old PC and your finances would be ruined?
or
30 USD for a SM 4.1 PCIe Card to upgrade your integrated graphics PC?
I agree that NetBooks like Asus EEE would have difficulties running the EVE client, but I am going slightly mad when I read posts like "I will not be able to run 3 EVE clients at the same time anymore...I have 2-3 old machines and I can't upgrade all of them"...
P.S. My "suppa-duppa machine" is an old Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz w/ 2Gigs of RAM and I run 4 EVE clients all the time. If an EVE player could not afford spending 30-40 USD for a video card, how could he/she afford paying for the subscription?
And yeah, by the way I live in Bulgaria - the poorest country in EU with AVERAGE MONTHLY SALARY OF 280 EUR. MONTHLY, NOT WEEKLY OR DAILY! SORRY, BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO STILL USES SM 2.0 video card apart from the ATM machine 'round the corner...

what you whining about??? tell me wth is the difference i get more fps with the premium then with the classic and why you guys incist on using aincent hardware that keeps the devs from further developing the game and also keep us from more shinyness .....for gods sake spend the 79 bucks on 8600 or 127$ on a 9600 from evga
280 euro WOW i do not know how you live with that i take my hat of my head for that
And still nobody uses ancient video cards to play whatever... Sometimes you have to sacrifice the food for your stomach, so you could have some juicy food for you sould & mind 
KEEP GOING, CCP! DirextX 11 is around the corner, Tesselation, Bigger Textures, More complex shaders...SM 4.1 should be the minimum by the end of 2010! |
