Hello, i'm am running Eve on a new rig i've just built, with a GTX670 and a 27" inch display (Eve looks phenomenal) but i'm having a problem:

About once every 1-2 hours Eve freezes for 5-10 seconds and the screen goes mostly black, and then it pops back into life but after that it's jerky and the framerate is locked at 30 fps (normally 60). This can be fixed by docking in a station, wherein it goes back up to 60fps and becomes smooth again. This is a pain in the bum for me and keeps happening whilst in fleet fights (not big ones) and FCing :(

Other games / apps on the computer seem fine. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Having the same issue here. New(ish) rig with 680s (one for phys-x, one for rendering). Except I have to restart the client completely to get my FPS back up.

Seems EVE-specific. No issues with any other applications.

I had the same problem, using a newer rig with one brand new 680. Try cleaning out and then re-installing your Eve client.

I uninstalled the client and did a full reinstall and haven't had the problem since. I also noticed some effects were better, like lasers and particle effects, which leads me to believe the problem developed somewhere between the hundreds of tiny patches in the last two years.

Thanks. Have to do a full system rebuild at some stage too, in the future, so that works for me.
