Hi all this is the first time I have used the forums to start a new topic, so I apologise if it is in the wrong place.

Basically I am trying to run 6 accounts simultaneously on one machine through four screens, three for eve and another as my main desktop screen.

I will firstly give a run down on my system first

Motherboard : Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
CPU : AMD FX-8350 Eight Core Black Edition
RAM : 4 x Corsair Vengeance 1866mHz 4GB (16GB in total)
GPU : 2 x Sapphire Dual-X AMD Radeon R9 280X OC 3GB (in crossfire)
Drives : Primary OS drive : Corsair Force LS 240GB, 3 x 1TB storage HDD
OS : Win 8.1 64-bit

I've read on various sites that some people some how manage to run 6 accounts at full spec simultaneously on one machine with multiple monitors with no trouble on systems far slower than mine. I don't seem to be able to, things judder and stick for a split second when only one is in space and the other five are docked, let alone all in space at the same time. (I'm trying to do my own mining fleet). I use fixed window two accounts per monitor.

I do not understand why I cannot achieve with a more powerful computer what others are with lesser machines. I'm obviously missing something all together please advise!!!

sessions on the same client install or separated clients? window mode or full screen? what are your graphic settings?

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

First off, you're mining. Turn the graphics down... Yeah...it's nice to have all the purties...but, totally unnecessary.

Second, make sure that in game you don't have it set to interval immediate. Set it to interval one. That alone will probably make it run smoother because it locks the game to the refresh interval of your monitor.

I usually use the default setting of optimize for memory on my games...and I have only 1 video card and I've run up to 8 sessions at once. Smoothly.

So, good luck!
