All;

I am getting about 60-65 FPS with just one client running.
It seems to stay around 55 FPS with 2 clients.
However when I get 3 clients it drops to 10-15 and 4 clients it is below 5?

I think it should be a lot higher with the two cards and SLI running.
Please see the below settings I have and let me know what I should be changing to max my FPS.

Thanks everyone.

Try turning the Anti-Aliasing off in game and report back with some results.
I have one GTX 260 here, and can run four clients just flying in space with an average of 30-40fps.

To CCP Paradox:

Thanks much for the help.

I turned off the AA and even with 4 clients run I am still getting 25-35 FPS.

I am guessing there must be some other tweaks; but it is usable.

It does lag out when I do gate jump, station docking/undocking; but kind of expect that.
