I don't know what to do anymore...

it is completely random problem with this FPS.
I update my driver to the latest one - not fix. Sometime when I update it solve it for 3-4 days after that again drop.
Clear the cache -- no fix

Settings ingame - Interval immediate - frames in station 29-30, outside 60 fps - pathetic :(

Running the game on Interval immediate means your always running your graphic card at maximum FPS. Which means your wasting frames. Lets say you have a 60hz screen and your getting 160 FPS. You're still only seeing 60 FPS as that is the maximum FPS your screen can produce. Any access FPS is wasted and only serves to heat up your graphic card. Once the card is hot enough FPS will drop as the card tries to cool itself.

Try changing the setting to interval One. Also depending on your graphic card you may want to lower shader and texture quality to get better FPS.

Hey, thanks for posting this. Technical info from experts is the kind of thing you should never not post when you give somebody help with a problem. I don't have FPS drop issues, but this is useful info for any game. Especially if your desktop is a dinosaur like mine and can barely run non-eve games.

Hi,
As I said the problem is in the game. No-matter that I must see only 60 fps I had only 30 fps. My card is not getting hot. I tried with interval one but it's the same - 30-35 fps (normaly it must locked at 60 fps). I always playing eve on full details and high setting. When everything is normal I had about 70 fps in station and around 180-200 fps in space on interval immediate.
I already provide all details regarding DXdiag logs and built logs to the support and they said that everything is ok. So in this point of view if my desktop is ok then the problem must be in the game...I saw also another posts about this issues

Edit: For now the only solution that I found is complete uninstall video drivers and install them again. This fix my problem for not more than 4-5 days...after that I do the same procedure again and again
