Hey folks,

I’m running a rather dated HD 6970 with 2GB of memory.

Now after rhea has hit, I’m experiencing some lag when running multiple clients at once. 2 run just fine with max settings, but 3 are too much. But since I like the improvements, I don’t want to lower the settings.

Therefore I’m considering upgrading my graphic card. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Thanks and cheers!


I run 4 clients at medium/low settings on an ATI 7800 series and it's serviceable. A GTX770 does even better.

If you picked up a GTX 970 4gb it would even things out quite well. Make sure you've got 8 threads at above 3ghz and you'll be golden.

How many monitors?

I have 3 24" ips monitors, run 6 clients of EVE, full graphics settings and no issues. My card is just a cheap sapphire 2gb 78xx amd. Dont remember exact number. I even run netflix while im playing those 6 clients. No issues.
