EVE General Discussion

Why would anyone need more than one client installed? (obviously excluding Sisi here)

For "ease of logging in without having to switch accountname" ?

And yet you only have 2x 4GB CL10 RAM :o Time to replace these with 4x 4GB CL9 ones

Because next gen consoles are using 8 cores to run games 30fps @ 768 resolution omg...

I think that's mainly because increasing resolution raises the bar exponentially when it comes to pressurizing the GPU. So instead they chose to create a whole different ambiance by including more particles and increasing texture quality, making the game feel more alive. There are however some games that run on 1080p on PS4 and/or Xbox One. Notice the 'I think' at the beginning of the post.

Which I personally find quite cute considering mine runs everything at 60fps (or better) at full 1080p.

It is not that simple. Fast CL10 ends up with less latency than a slower CL9.

for example:

CL9/2133 versus C10/2400

9 / (2133/2) = 8.4ns latency
10 / (2400/2) = 8.3ns latency

the 2400 has lower latency even though it is CL10

You didn't rationalise what I asked you to, you just went ahead and further conflated "RAM is more important than CPU for gaming" with "if...you valued RAM so much". I never told you how much I valued RAM, I expressed it's importance in relation to the CPU for gaming. You're clearly incapable of inhabiting my shoes if that's the kind of leap of logic you're going to make. RAM is important up until the point that you have enough, especially if you're on a budget. Why pay more for something you aren't going to use and/or don't need in order to get the same performance for something cheaper?

And Hasikan made the other point I was going to make but before I did, I wanted to understand why you seem to be of the opinion that I need something I don't actually need. It almost seemed obvious to me that the statement "my machine already performs better than I need it to" would be indicative of it not needing any replacements/upgrades. If you wanna throw money around for stuff they don't need, that's your prerogative, but too many people like yourself have it in their head that everyone has to have the latest 'stuff' just for the sake of having the latest stuff. It's dumb. The same types think they have to update everything all the time as well without even checking what the update is. My latest graphics card driver update does nothing for anything I use it for, so I haven't even bothered doing that.

Anyway, at the end of the day, my RAM works great, I even have a little more than I need cuz I never seem to use it all, for anything. It even has heat-sinks on it to help keep temp down. They're bright orange and reflect all the cool flashy lights inside the sports-car-like case I got.

Very interesting you choose a 200 bucks video card which is 2/5 of the budget, and I totally agree with that! I just want to handle the basic requirements for maybe triple instances with as much as visual utility. <3

It is complicated and there are apparently even differences between AMD and Intel as to what is better raw Mhz or lower CAS.

Put simply - CAS Latency is how many clock cycles you need to wait before data is available and hence the total time the CPU needs to wait is a function of two things, the number of cycles ( CL) and the length of a cycle (reciprocal of the "rated" frequency of DDR divided by 2 to get actual frequency) .

Hello you are in a smexy corp so already well played fellow npc

If it really only for eve then something with some cpu to back it up...at least for the big battles
