OP the advice i'd give for that is to look at LG's Screen split program, It is like where windows will set a program on a half of the screen, however the LG one will force the program into such resolution even when it normally wont go, I can do 3 accounts all on my 25 inch screen with it, but I think it can split up to 4 on one screen

That's illegal.
Such programs allow you to reduce the game window to just the size of the overview and has been deemed a no-go.

Unless your program works differently?

SSD and GPUs are major upgrades. The SSD alone is a MASSIVE deal.
You're right they are fairly major upgrades, but they go nowhere near what you were suggesting and in the case of the SSD replaced ailing components.

You'd be surprised. I replaced my HD with a SSD in my old laptop and it easily double my speeds. I think the OP would get MASSIVE gains from just getting an SSD if they are insistent on not upgrading their system.

Works different, It shows the entire game not just the overview, it just pushes it into lower resolutions I'll get a screencap

I have never seen any where that for example using ISBoxer simply for its screen matrixing function was a "no-go" stated by CCP.

I cant give an exact link but using any program that limits the program down to just your overview and modules is banned. It'd come under "Modification of the client"

If you lower the graphics options, you can play lots of clients on a very modest PC easily. If you insist on full graphics options for every single client you'd need to look at the system issues & core distributions and such as suggested here earlier.

ISBoxer lets you manage core distributions per client & various other screen resizing wizardry, but CCP will not outright confirm/sanction its use so you use it at your own risk.

I submitted support ticket before to ask very specific and defined use of ISBoxer - whether the exact thing I want to do with it is against CCP rules or not. I gave very detailed description of what I intend to do with it - to utilise a very specific function and my use of the program will be limited to that specific function only, but CCP will not sanction/confirm it's OK or not.

Technically I think I'm not allowed to post about interactions with GM/support etc, but what they told me is pretty common enough and their general recommendations so I think I can post here.

They said something to this effect,

"If you are in doubt, or have to ask whether something is ok or not, then we advice you don't do it."

Cheers Love! The cavalry's here!

If you want multiple clients on single screen i'd recommend a large (at least 28 inch) 4k or 5k monitor, you can fit 4 1920x1080 clients on 1 4k screen. Yes the text might be a bit small but that can be scaled up a bit.

I was looking for it, but the obvious searchterms don't seem to help.

I know this, because once someone on reddit posted a screenshot of several client windows ...
... all sized down to their respective overviews. It was a post related to disallowing it.

You can believe it or not; I don't need to convince you, though not warning you would be a ****** move.

In the end it's your ass, not mine.

So I have a slight problem.
I am currently Running 10 Eve clients at the same time.
But the GPU/CPU usage is immense in such a way that my GTX 970 is at 100% usage and my I7-3770K 4.2Ghz cpu is at 100%
This makes it dangerous for me to fly from 1 system to another and doing it 1 at a time is wasting time thus wasting isk.

Now the Next problem I have is that I am currently Running 2 Screens(getting a third soon) Which means I have 5 clients on each screen. But since the lowest resolution which is 1024*768 is too big I am forced to overlap. is it possible to reduce it even further?

I really need help with these 2 things.

I remember back in the days I was easily able to handle 15 clients at same time but not anylonger :'(

I can only think of one way you'd be able to jump ten clients simultaneously.

Have a nice day!

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

Please Note: Any advice given comes with the caveat that nothing will be suitable for every situation.
