Heya as the headline goes.
Id love to be able to have a different settings for graphics on the station compared to when im out in space.
I can mine fine with 5-6 accounts out in space and my fans are chilling.
But being docked with 2 clients and my fans goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
after advice from a player im now pressing Ctrl + ALt + F9 to disable all the stuff when docked.
but this also disable everything when undocked.
Is it possible to add this disable option but ONLY for station graphics?
Just imagine:
One suggestion is to use separate launcher profiles for your FC alt and your line member alts. Set the line member profiles to the lowest graphic settings, and keep your GPU for the one you look at the most.
I also use a program called Eve-O Preview, that gives me small preview panels of my other clients on top of my active one. It has an option to minimize clients when they aren’t active, which will also reduce your GPU load. Eve-O Preview is TOS compliant, since it only gives you a glimpse and not any control over inactive clients. You can find a topic with a github link here in the forums.
Thanks i did try search for a few keywords to try avoid making duplicate suggestions.
but i didnt think to search for black hangar heh
I was searching for keywords with Graphics ^^
Gonna have to look into to it.
Nah was not posting because of the duplicate nature of the suggestion, actually believe the more people suggest it the better. Just saying if CCP actually listened to such suggestions imagine we could already have this as an option.
If CCP listened to the suggestions here, Eve would be a Carebear Wunderland.
FTFY. Not all suggestions are equal.
Each good suggestion is like a needle in a field full of haystacks.
While true not entirely sure how that’s relevant to this specific thread. Hint: it’s not, thus off topic.
Is your VSYNC in EVE turned off or the VSYNC of your monitor too high for your GPU?
I doubt it while its not the newest pc its still holding up
this pc is a
amd ryzen 5 1600x
with 16ddr4
and GTX 1080..
(also just cleaned it and changed cooler pasta, while i put the new rig toghter)
My new rig that i just got up and running 4-5 days ago is a
Ryzen 7 5800x
32gb ddr4
RTX 4060 Ti
Since its fresh it also means its a clean install with pretty much nothing to slow down its performance
well i dunno id just love the option to disable/reduce station graphics for all chars but my main… while keeping space graphics decent for all of em.
since thats where i will be watching actively when docked im either busy doing stuff on the main or afk
You still didn’t answer if you have set it up to be VSYNCed and to what value. Either you have it not VSYNCed and it therefore has high power usage by generating more frames than necessary or you have it VSYNCed to a high framerate by your monitors profile and mabye it is above 60 fps and putting a lot of stress to your GPU. So you need to reduce the monitor fps in windows.
Both is possible.
I’m kinda the opposite.
I’m zoomed out with the tactical overlay the majority of the time, and only ever look at my ships in station. I’d like a version of Crtl-Shift-F9 that only works when undocked, because I like looking at my ships, just not when in space.
So I guess I agree with your suggestions that we should have separate settings for docked and undocked. I’d certainly use that feature. I use the suggestions I gave above to resolve this issue at the moment.
its at 60fps no more
as my screen is an old one with only 60fps
And yes ive checked its set to 60fps
