Hello guys,
I recently bought a Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 (GIGABYTE Windforce X3 4GB OC Edition), and it appears my EVE Online client is causing the graphics card to consistently run at 99% Load.

I have maxed everything out, and run in Full Windowed mode. If I click out of full windowed the load drops down and the temperature drops immediately (down from average of 73 degrees centigrade).

I have tested this in many other games including Battlefield 3, Warframe and World of Tanks, and nothing similar happens. This appears to be isolated purely to EVE.

In EVE try set Present interval to Interval One from the drop down unless its already set to it, then i dont know. EVE like's too eat GPU's at Interval Immediate.

Edit: This will be under ESC key and Graphics tab ;)

Well that appears to work, they really need to fix the resource hungry nature of EVE on that setting hehe

EVE isn't the only game that will melt graphics cards if you don't control the FPS, there are a lot of games that started doing this a few years ago. In fact it's pretty much a common problem now. Ugh

Interval one = FPS capped, similar to vsync
Interval immediate = FPS uncapped, potential to melt video cards

Some cards can handle Immediate but I would never use it. Blame the people making the video card drivers.

Well I used Immediate for the fast tracking camera, and faster animations of unnecessary things. It would be nice to keep that effect! maybe I could try forcing V-Sync on from the nvidia control panel.
