Hi All,

Hope this is in the right place. Had a look for custom pc topics and they seemed to be in here. If not feel free to move it mods.

Anyway I'm planning to build a PC for Eve and everything is settled save the GPU. I have been told Eve doesn't always like crossfire/SLI setups and as such been looking at the powerful single graphics card options. Looking at a 295X2 but I don't know if the crossfire problems I've heard about apply to a dual GPU card. Planning on running three clients over three screens at 1920x1080.

Any help you could give me would be appreciated.

Cheers

Thor

I ran my EVE clients in crossfire for a bit, and it didn't seem to boost the frame rates. I run my cards un-paired now.

The good news is, if you ever find yourself wishing that video games would "stay the same" while graphics cards got faster and faster... EVE is that game.

Help, I can't download EVE
