I run two screens with an Nvidia 660 Ti and it runs just fine. Newegg is the place as others have suggested. Lots of discounts currently available for gcards as well as refubs.

Ok, looking at the 760's because they are the right price. Hope that it's quiet and good hehe.
There is one version with 3 fans, but there are many reviews saying that it broke after a few months, so going to go with the more popular 2-fan version.

Thanks for all of the help everyone!!

I'd recommend that card as well. Make sure to get one with a lot of vram.

Also, drop some of the money you just saved and upgrade your ram. Because damn.


I thought that 8gig ram was pretty good? Pretty sure my tower has 2x 4gig chips, and room for 2 more chips.. If I was to upgrade, should I just buy 2 more identical chips to what I already have? or get some cheap 2 chips to boost it?

I thought that you wanted to keep the chips that you are using identical.. but that could have been a dream or my imagination.. looking on NewEgg, it seems rather pricey if I were to replace what I already have altogether.

Edit:
Oh, also: how would I find exactly what the current chips are? just pop them out and write down a number?

I use a 570. I don't know how much FPS it gets or how many clients it can run, I just felt like sharing which graphics card I have, seeing as everyone else is.



550TI with 2gig here. Runs eve smoothly with all the bells and whistles turned on.

*Note I only run 1 client.

I'm looking at the AMD Radeon R9 295X2 right now.

A bit overkill for EVE but the first step into 4K gaming for me. The new 28" 4K monitors are a decent price finally and it is the future so I may as a well get started.

On top of that, with factory installed water cooling I may not lose cards to dust contamination as seems to happen a lot in the area I live. Plus you'll be able to run as many clients as you need at max settings if you wish.

8GB is plenty unless you intend to run three or four times the number of accounts you're thinking of.

That said, RAM is one of those areas where more is always more, so it's always something you can splash out on if you've got some cash burning a hole in your pocket.

My 560 ti has done well with 3 clients. But I could always get something newer...
