Now that I have tried Crucible... I can agree that even two clients don't run that good - adding another one makes it horrible, close to unplayable even if I only run on good gfx on one client and lowest on all others.

From what I know is that EVE eats memory when running on Windows. In Linux it draws a bit less. About GPUs memory would be the biggest issue right now. Both the nebulas and CQ are eating memory. CQ does not draw however until you enter it.

Processing power is not needed with EVE however more clients need more but memory is the biggest issue here. AA eats memory so having more Vram is ofcourse better. One thing to note 3gb 590 from nVidia is 1.5gb per GPU not 3gb so it wont give you allot more. (you got 1gb right now if im not wrong)

SLI/Crossfire does not increse memory so dualgpu cards only have 50% available of what they say. (4gb 6990 is 2gb vram for a game. 3gb 590 is 1.5gb vram for a game)

Hope I did everything clear. Also sli/crossfire work only in fullscreen applications.

Anti Alising in EVE has always been a problem for me. I play with AA on high and it never gets rid of ALL the jagged edges..

I always turn off AA. I haven't had it on in a game for ages. It's one of the things I always turn off. I'm so used to jagged lines on everything, it isn't that big a deal anymore.

I only recently turned shadows on (low) because of the new shadows, to see what they look like. They seem okay, so I've left them on for now.

My computer doesn't really like 4 clients at once though. It seems to do okay and I don't notice a drop in fps. But the fans just start to go really fast like they want to take off and fly away. I don't use 4 clients that much these days. I'm usually just logged into one or two of them.
