Because a screen ful of 2d windows and hud icons needs graphics that accellerate global warming. EVE is what it is and all this poor performance crap is because hilmar is resentful that he flunked out of Space Camp.

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

If you are going to game from a laptop you really should use this. You can leave EVE running all day long with this particular model and your laptop will be no hotter than it would be from turning it on and letting it idle for 20 minutes. I've used this cooler for a few years now, and it's probably the best one on the market. It pulls the heat away from your laptop instead of blowing dust and room temperature air at the laptop, and the aluminum top also helps dissipate heat. The problem with most notebook coolers is they blow air at your laptop, which really doesn't help cool it down much and blows dust into the vents.

I've run EVE with this cooling pad for 8-10 hours at a time with no heat problems, my other cooling pad that blows air at the laptop doesn't keep it nearly as cool.

That particular antec cooling pad has not had a single problem other than the USB power cable is rather fragile, but you can buy a 3.5mm power cable for $2 as a replacement for it. The little cover for the bay that holds the cable can break as well, but other than that it's a pretty solid laptop cooler.

barrakus, arent you fighting with the cpu fan for airflow then (seeing as most laptops get their cool air from the bottom)?

And seeing as hot air rises, all your doing is preventing cool air from actually entering the laptop from the bottom? unless the fan is strong enough to draw air through the keyboard, im not really sure what airflow your getting?

But if it works for you i guess?

Anyway, I hope CCP considers this when they develop future expansions. This is an issue of poor optimisation not bad hardware. Thanks for all the replies. Cool

I have private nuclear powerplant running outside my house just to provide enough power for my incarna craptop.
I wonder who will pay the upkeep? Should I file a petition?

650 watt power supply.
quad processor
2 graphics cards
2 monitors 2048 x 1152 24" screens
2 hard drives
4 case fans 120 mm

Has no issues running multiple accounts at 60 FPS (interval set to one)

UPS says it is pulling 320 watts.

Building your own computer is well worth the time and effort.
Cost less and you have no issues, and the only one you can blame if there is a issue, is yourself.

CCP has no concept of throttling... Seriously, I've long _LONG_ wanted some way to manually set max FPS outside of the 4 intervals.

It's not a hard feature to implement and it would make life with EVE+laptop much more comfortable and battery-friendly. E.g. 5 to 10 FPS is more than enough for someone who's just trading in station or AP'ing through high-sec.

Same goes for the login screen... You don't need 60 fps there.

isboxer/innerspace is a multiboxing application that allows you to throttle your FPS. Even lets you set different clients to a different FPS depending on which one is "active". In case you multibox multiple clients. Can also dedicate processor cores to individual clients. Worth looking at.

So the salesman told you the laptop is good for gaming, you believed him, and now you are throwing toys out of the pram?

Notebooks shouldnt burn whatever you are doing with it, its just a failed construction. If you have a good notebook it should switch off if there is too much heat before it breaks because of overheating.
Buy better notebooks or blame the manufacturer for this.

If you need any info on it, or help setting it up..feel free to contact me in-game. I'm obviously a big fan.
