Since CCP can't seem to help with my bug, going to buy a new computer to see if that fixes it. I seem to remember that nvidia cards have issues with CCP. Anyone have any feedback on good video cards for this game? Going to buy a 1500-2k machine, so looking for a decent one.

I'm running on a GTX 660 3Gb and have routinely 100-130 fps with everything but AA turned up/on and on two screens at 3840x1080. It does tank a little down to the 70s and sometimes 60s when I'm running an L4 with a lot of rounds flying downrange, and in station now has a noticeable drop in fps (from the recent changes they did on station interior effects I'd imagine), but it's stable and smooth high or low. A 1.5K to 2K budget should harbor no issues on performance, barring any edge-case problems (like a faulty or corrupt OS install or bad harddrive).

The earlier mentioned 1070 should do nicely, even for many other games with heftier system spec requirements. I hear the 970 is still a popular choice as well.

Can anyone clarify in regards to the graphic settings if using both HDR and Anti-Aliasing is OK? I do have a 1070 per Ryelle's recommendation and I can't seem to find any specific posts as to whether both are ok to run or if I should be running one OR the other option. I optimized for "Quality" and all settings were changed to High w/Anti-Aliasing set to OFF.

turn everything on full, gaze at the beauty. theres no reason not to turn AA and HDR on if your rig can handle it.

i got a 1070 and it runs 2x clients max settings without even turning the fan on lol. I highly recommend it. The prices are only going to go up, so good time to get them now while they're still being sold around MSRP prices
