Are these specs serious? A gtx1060? Here I am with a gtx 770 not really noticing a difference. Will my card be good for a while or should I think about upgrading anytime soon? ---

We don’t know why the supposed minimum specs are way more than needed. I’m running this game on an 4710MQ (notebook cpu) with a GTX765m on all settings maxed except shadows, because there’s not really much of a point in them. To put that into perspective: > **[UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB vs 765M](https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-765M-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/m7742vs3639)** > > Based on 1,375,042 user benchmarks for the Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB and the GTX 765M, we rank them both on effective speed and value for money against the best 705 GPUs. The 1060 is around 300% faster than my notebook GPU. The specs CCP tells us are complete bogus. Nonsense. Outright insulting. > [@Twitchy\_McGee](#): > > Will my card be good for a while, or should I think about upgrading anytime soon? Yes. No. For even more perspective: > **[UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 765M vs 770](https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-765M-vs-Nvidia-GTX-770/m7742vs2174)** > > Based on 123,918 user benchmarks for the Nvidia GTX 765M and the GTX 770, we rank them both on effective speed and value for money against the best 705 GPUs. Your GPU is around 180% faster than mine. ---

The system requirements (Specs) are more or less optimized for large battles which can put quite a strain on the GPU having to render thousands of ships, their weapon systems, Drones and what have you. It’s quite possible to play EVE with hardware less than the minimum requirements but you should avoid large skirmishes. I’m running a GTX 970 and have no problems running multiple clients at once. ---

Yes they are serious, they are high to allow you to avoid potato mode in large engagements. ---
