In your launcher, toggle the Enable Hardware Rendering and see which mode works better. Also try turning off the DX12 client and using DX11. Some people have used video card managers to limit the FPS of various windows because apparently the current version will in some cases run max frames on all instances. Look in the Issues and Workarounds forum for graphics related posts like: > [@Extremely poor multibox performance since DX12 patch](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/extremely-poor-multibox-performance-since-dx12-patch/373017): > > Hi Let me preface this by saying I do not use the DX12 client, it is in a really bad state, it causes constant and consistent issues for me, and I really do not think it is a good idea to have everyone’s client defaulting to that, as some newbro is going to come along, see the state of the DX12 client, and never play the game again. On to my issue… Ever since the DX12 patch I have had poor performance whilst multiboxing, especially when I do things like conduit jumping a fleet of ships to anot… ---

You mind sharing your PC/Laptop stats? Show us how much resources EVE uses via task manager. If your confrontable with that Because I play EVE on a gaming laptop (can’t get a desktop because of RL) I bought during the pandemic I use it for games/online college now and it has held up really nicely. [HP OMEN 15-dh1053nr 15.6" Gaming Laptop Computer - Black; Intel Core i7-10750H Processor 2.6GHz; NVIDIA GeForce RTX - Micro Center](https://www.microcenter.com/product/623209/hp-omen-15-dh1053nr-156-gaming-laptop-computer---black) It’s not carried anymore but the price was $1500 USD End price was around $1600 at the time it was a pretty good deal considering the situation in 2020 Runs every game I throw at it couldn’t be happier with my purchase. More than enough RAM, Gotta have that 1TB of SSD and I like the RTX 2070. (Yes I am well aware there are better models with better stuff **way** cheaper) I could run 5-6 boxes but then my laptop would get hot… and I don’t box 😆 Anyways my EVE single client runs fine! Anything I experience is server-side stuff with CCP. The ONLY issue I suffer overheat is when I do abyssal deadspace. It has to be the HUGE rooms and very very detailed graphics in the backgrounds. Honestly, I think any slow responses is the servers myself. (I am on DX11 my laptop freaked out when it was set on DX 12) ---

Yes I turned the DX12 option off as soon as they added it so I guess I am on DX11 ---

I enjoy the pace of mining as it calms my anxiety where and when I had undocked an alt to go shoot something other than a rock. I like rocks! DO you like rocks? Rocks are relaxing to look at! ---

> [@Iceacid\_Frostpacker](#): > > I like rocks! But do the rocks like you? Being shot at, being drilled into and burned into nothingness upon being depleted of ore content must be a traumatic and painful experience. Maybe you should think of the rocks too not just your selfish desires of exploiting them. 👹 ❄ ---
