Hello since the new patch , i’ve got some issue when i play eve by causing my graphic card to shutdown (the computer still working but only got a blackscreen and i must restart the computer when it’s happening…) So it’s just impossible to do something even when i’m docked or doing some PI. I don’t know what to do until the next patch make crash the client when i’m undocking. I reduced the game client graphic etc and nothing work and when i’m playing Halo infinite or other game more powerfull i don’t have any issues my configuration : Windows 10 Professionnel ‎(X64)‎ 21H1 Intel Core i5 4460 MSI B85-G43 GAMING 16 go RAM DDR3 GC : Radeon RX 580 Series I don’t know if there is a solution for this until wait the next patch … or a fix eventually Thanks in advance and fly safe o7 ---

EVE can be pretty crazy when it’s trying to render space station interiors. Frame limit it. The game doesn’t need high framerates anyway, as the command rate is only 1 hertz. Either limit through your driver, or use the clumsy in-game option (you can cook your videocard on setting 0; limit it to monitor refresh rates on default setting 1; or spare it on setting 2, which is half of the refresh rate). ---

I would update the GC drivers and try again. It is not likely newer patches will fix your problem. Since no one else reported anything similar I think this may not even be a patch issue. ---

I have recently upgraded from a gtx980. That card had been of running flat out and struggling to keep 60 frames on a 1080p monitor on mostly medium settings. I checked and that card was 15-20% faster that what you are using. Last three years Eve has gotten a lot prettier. Unfortunately just like pretty women, pretty games need expensive toys. Based on my experience, I could see your card overheating trying keep up if you have air flow issues in your case or a compromised cooling solution on the card. ---

> [@Scarlett\_LaBlanc](#): > > air flow issues in your case That’s the problem, you have a case. Jury rig an open air frame. For those more daring, mineral oil (remove moving parts first) sub (aquarium). Who doesn’t liquid cool these days? ---
