Hello.
Not sure if this is the place since it's not a problem, but it's still an issue for me (of sorts).
My question is about performance when triple boxing, totaling a resolution of 5760*1080.
I'm using a GTX670 with factory clocks and I'm currently happily dualboxing with the highest settings without any issues.
What would be the best settings to tample with in order to make 3 screens run fluently?

Bump, not looking for the complete solution, just a hint to which settings that has the biggest impact on quality with a resolution of 5760*1080.

You have a setup like that and you don't know about video game settings? O.o lol

Usually it's things like Anti-Aliasing, HDR and Bloom that will make the most difference. I wouldn't think a GTX 670 would struggle though. EVE's graphics are ancient. You might need to turn a few of those down but it should be fine. Higher resolutions are primarily affected by the amount of VRAM your card has. At those resolutions I would hope for at least 3GB of VRAM on the card, otherwise you might get slowdown with multiple clients.

Optimize for memory efficiency. Turn texture quality back to "High".
That'll let you play, assuming you have 64-bit OS and no less than 6Gb RAM.

Thanks for the replies, but I think that you underestimated me Shocked
I'm trying to get the most out of my card while using a high resolution. Maybe I should've been more specific...
I know that lowering the Shader and Texture quality might yield the best improvements, since it's both my memory (both amount and bandwidth) and my GPU that's being pushed at that resolution, but that would probably gimp the graphics more then nesserary, even at medium (like you said, the eve graphics are ancient).
The reason why I asked is that I don't know how much the other settings affect the load, and in which ways. For example, does turning down AA from "High" to "Low" improve my framerates more then turning down the shadow or LOD quality from "High" to "Low"?
Or shall I start big and turn down AA and post-processing?
Resource cache might be a good thing to keep, if the memory allows?
I'll toy around with the settings when I get my third screen, but I'm trying to get a feeling for the settings until I do, so I don't have to guess wildly later. And I got to agree that I'm a bit curious about the question aswell.

Edit: Spelling.
