EVE General Discussion

FPS is fine, but sound does cut in and out during missile launch., Was okay on Sisi.

I agree that AMD is crap on Linux but on windows its working like a smooth baby with their autoupdater no issues on my end running 5970 and 6970

About the 150fps to 60 fps jump you will feel the quirk when it does loose that much. Also some have 120hz monitors so....

I do feel slowdowns of the missile mostly when I zoom into ships with the explosions. Also torps should have a bigger explosion, kinda miss the rings they did ;(

No problems here with my GTX560Ti Was frapsing earlier at a very lovely 60fps like usual with bombs and missiles going off everywhere :D

btw: the new bomb effects are literally "the bomb"!

can't decide weather electorn or scorch is my favourite though...

Maybe CCP should stop kissing nvidia ass??

i dont suffr from any loss with my dual 6850 but i do still have other graphical glitches like flashing station etc (with 1 or 2 cards on)

everything is up to date. dont get issues with other games just this one.

eve has allways been crappy towards AMD cards.

As for the missiles breaking everything WELL DONE chalk that up there with the new UI and its win all round,

P.S torps look like fireworks and the explosions suck compared to the old ones.

Another backwards step in EVE, have u guys been talking with DICE and EA??

sure?

I do hope ccp isn't tryin to sell out to nvidia and focus their developing towards 'The Popular Corporation'
I use ATI/AMD, and have for many years, they OC better and are more stable than nvidia/intel. I know this from many years of experience. Just because nvidia, intel, and microsoft are trying to monopolize the market, doesn't mean they are better, in fact, in their case, it's very much the contrary. Any1 can sell crap if they advert it everywhere and make it cheap enuf for a noob to buy.

1. System specs are irrelevant
- My system didn't change, your software did.

2. So is the 'Rule of Thumb' now to update every driver on my system and go out and buy the latest 'Preferred' hardware, when a update comes out every couple weeks?
- That will become expensive, time-consuming and I'm not going to sell out to nvidia, intel, or microsoft.

3. Why not keep some sense of reality in eVe and at the same time avoid more bugs with lag and framerate. Missles in the cold vacuum of space will NOT have smoke trails, so why waste time and energy on creating this effect in the first place?

As of right now, the game is unplayable, between the lousy new inventory boxes and the lag created by the smoke coming from missles in the void of space. Sure, I could turn off all the effects and stare at a blank screen, but I didn't have to do that YESTERDAY.

@CCP Zorba

win7/64 (DX11)
3 different ati card
- hd-3850 (from my old computer)
- hd-7750 (from a friend computer)
- hd-7950 (my card)

tested with catalyst 12.3 , 12.4 , 12.4A , and 12.5 beta

all card suffer of the same problem with gpu particle, 50% fps loss for example when i kill a npc in a belt with a caldari boat, and in L4, it's a real pain

changing the graphic details and setting them to the minimum not help, only solution is to desactivate the gpu particle to have descent framerate in mission

i tested on sisi a week ago and all worked fine, no fps drop, and that surprised me! what changed during this time?

wow reading these high end specs having quite large drops yet my average spec has had no drop in performance

Win 7 64bit
6GB ram
Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Pentium dual core E5400 2.7Ghz
650w AC supply

This, to me, is an obvious sign of denial. wtf? You release gas and particle emissions in the vacuum of space and you expect matter filling a void to do nothing. Get your head on straight.

Also, you seem to be ignorant of a few things regarding your hardware and everybody elses. AMD is barely interested in mainstream computing and doesn't really have any interest in competing in any real sense with Intel because they know they can't win. Intel holds the patents for fs sake. Intel signs over portions of those patents to AMD with a yearly license so that AMD can continue to make PC processors so the American government and other organizations don't bin Intel as a monopoly.

Intel is not in the business of licensing AMD to use their best and most advanced architecture however, so AMD is forced to trry and find ways around it that usually don't work so well, or are barely adequate. This is why AMD is behind in the GPU business, not some rediculous advertising nobody ever sees.

People on forums all over the world, review sites and hardware enthusiasts match any and all offerinbgs against each other until they find the best that anyone has to offer. This has consistently been Intel for years. You can burn an AMD up to 6-8 GHz sure, no problem, once you've got it functioning on LN2 or Liquid Helium, but that doesn't do **** all for your processing capability, except to make it marginally faster than it was for a 400% OC sustained by a constant flow of -269 celsius coolant that vaporizes relatively quickly.

Fact is, Intel still outperforms it.

AMD focuses on Industrial computing aplications. That is their niche market and has been for years. They make chips for CNC machines and automated equipment. They probably make a good bit of money on it to, even if they don't do so well as Intel on the world market.

ATi is another thing. Owned by AMD sure, but it is still mostly a separate entity and functioning on its own apart from the AMD line of desktop processors. Sure, AMD supports ATi by making all their own chipsets, (through ATi), for their processors and restricting users of AMD to pretty much only ATi GPUs unless they want issues with incompatibility. They've been doing that for a few years now. Not a single AMD chipset supports Nvidia hardware; it's counterproductive.

It's only counterproductive if the only thing you care about selling is the GPU.

ATi is a good brand. Great for watching movies and doing all sorts of other stuff. Nothing wrong with it, but they still lag a bit behind Nvidia in terms of progress.

;) lol and ur trolling here too? ;P

- Please link the vid of Astronauts roasting marshmellows on the Moon ;)

- That 'smoke' would be FROZEN matter

- Thank GOD there are AMD processors in industrial equipment \o/

- Ur not going to try and sell me a intel chip, r u? ;p
