ATI hardware and driver designs have been consistently failing to prove stable for decades. cheap they work but never match the quality assurance of nvidia


Remeber the bricked cards from nvidia something like 2 years agao? Or the thousands of laptop that had to be serviced because of a POS nvidia chip?

Get real, the drivers are just as good on amd side. People need to stop thinking we are still in 1998...


Exactly, ATI is long gone and it is now AMD. They make things cheaper because that is their goal. All nvidia does is add a "brand name" markup via marketing.

Actually no. All price brackets are populated by both side with valid offering. You have to hunt price to find the best deals for your money at most price bracket. The AMD graphic team is also most likely in big part exactly the old ATI team. The change was that the driver matured.

Both company amde flops and both scored crazy good products.

I hope they do something like that again... or really other stuff too, like perhaps a gaming laptop. I'd pay plex for that.

Maybe in lieu of plex, CCP could do a contest for most mining barge kills wins like a free video card... just a thought


Not going to double it so I can get dual video cards?

Is Eve Online at a stage where it can start negotiating with graphic card manufacturers to provide Eve Online official hardware ?

I'm pretty sure a group purchase agreement with ATI or NVIDIA. The potential discounts for members and marketing exposure for NVIDIA or ATI should be a WIN/WIN for everybody .

As each deployment of an Eve expansion seems to push for more graphic processing, establishing an Eve Online 'Expansion' standard for graphics would seem to be a great way to make sure everybody is enjoying the same game.

Eagerly waiting for that Eve-Online Odyssey extreme graphics card :)


ps... make sure the card supports 3 monitors...


Won't happen because some people are too tight on the money side to afford any kind of upgrade it seems.


Tell that to people playing on XP with 8600's, preventing the 80% of the community who actually has DX11 cards and OS's to has DX11 EVE



Because that 20% of the community isn't upgrading there PC for the sole purpose of holding back eve with no financial reasons behind it.

I dont see why CCP just can't release a new premium for people with the latest systems but leave a basic client for those of us who want high fps on our older machines, like they did for the V2 graphic upgrade in '07

I didn't figure anyone actually bought game branded cards, I mean why? its the same exact chip set and video ram as a model that is a $100 cheaper.


Then it seems you don't know much about human psychology mate Lol
