Apart from activating the DX9 client through the launcher settings I have reduced my settings to the bare minimum in an attempt to optimise performance on my laptop.

How much lower can the settings be pushed? I haven’t noticed any other way to increase performance.

Clearing the client cache files and deleting the client logs from your documents folder may also improve performance of the client.

What’s your system information?  
Eve online has relatively low requirements.  
Maybe it’s time to upgrade…
