I’ve had to turn down all settings to low, so my RTX 3070 won’t spin up its fans like crazy. DX12 is off, my setup includes 4x 1440p monitors. Do I need a RTX 4xxx series to run 4-5 clients smoothly on low settings??

Outsourcing and distributed server mesh computing makes everything worse, and it’s getting worse for a few months now. Lags after gate jumps, no command acceptance after decloaking from gate cloak, more disconnects again, frequent chat disconnects, poor FPS performance, the entire game freezes why I try to load the market in Jita, and so on.
CCP says Quasar makes everything better but in practice everything feels worse since they started pushing this project harder than ever.

stressed video card is a pure client issue which can’t be attributed to server mesh or whatever alike. I’d like to run x clients without my PC going nuts killing my nerves.
You might have to limit your FPS somehow. Unlimited FPS increase the GPU load. My RX6800 runs totally silent with 3 clients and FPS limited to 60 (via vsync and a monitor that can’t do more).
its limited by vsync for me.
This game used to run at 300+ FPS docked w/o vsync
god bless that when CCP added it.
Your fault is to do this on one PC. Just link three PCs with synergy and you won’t even need an RTX 3070 and can run everything with full detail and DX12 on far older cards.
oh ok I see, eve is performant, if you give it 1 whole PC per client XD
EVE requirements do continually increase over time. With an EVE version of 5 years ago your setup would have been sufficient i suppose.
Also you complain why your system can’t handle 5 instances of EVE online on 4 separate monitors. Please name a few other games, that run well on your system with 5 instances on your 4 monitors, so i can compare…
I drive my setup different, i use lower resolutions and my use case for eve is also different. Since this is true for everyone, comparison is difficult. I run 4 clients on one PC, but i don’t run full screen EVE windows, i run with minimum settings and one PC drives one monitor. Works fine for me, but you have a completely different setup, where you want to run 5 fullscreens higher than FHD and not with reduced details. So go figure…i suppose your GPU is rather underpowered for your target scenario.
yeah but why? The game didn’t change so much in these 5 years. What does it consuming resources for? On low settings it basically renders eve of 2010.

That is completely wrong as EVE of 2010 was rendered with DX9 shaders and not DX11 or DX12.
Also it was a 32bit game back then and thus a completely different code base.
I wished it was still like this, since the overall resource consumption was really low. But we were told it was not monetary feasible to keep DX9 rendering around and also the 32bit codepath was abandoned. And the 3D models and the whole universe and mechanics changed over time too.
And thus you need to throw much more hardware at it to do the basic stuff.
the technological advance of modern hardware for sure compensated more than enough for the migration to new processor technology and what not. If it performs today worse than it did back in the day something went terribly wrong with eve’s code base. I’m not running a GTX 285 on a Core 2 Duo anymore.

Really, how much more can they demand from our computers when they are simulating simple physics and everything is so far away that you almost don’t need a 3d rendering engine, what is going on guys?? And the absolute CONSTANT lag makes micromanagement SUCH a pain it’s starting to be annoying real fast. You’re losing a wannabe born again EVEangeleist here! I was EXCITED! AND I FEEL LET DOWN. Sorry for the caps but I am so serious.
edit: And what’s with all the dust in space and around stations? That dust is not supposed to be there. We are in space. If I saw dust around my ship I’d ■■■■ my pants. I don’t want your rayys. This game could potentially be so accessible it is ridiculous. But so am I

Why don’t you turn the dust off instead of complaining? You have enough settings to customize EVE as you wish.
Nowadays you can even use ctrl+shift+f9 to activate the UI only mode for a maximum of fps if you want.
I was really only upset over the constant lag for turrets to stop cycling green after the target is dead and reloaded. I enjoy EVE for being hard on it’s own terms, not for adding rng through lag. Acceptance is hard…
