Still remember being in awe when I first played Doom.

I don't need to upgrade my PC every year just to play a video game. If the choice is Eve for an extra 400-1000 dollars, or going without so that I don't need to upgrade my PC, the choice for me is very clear.

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

Awesome, yet another post about DX by someone that has no idea about the modern graphics pipeline, PC architecture or how Eve actually works. Yes, DX 12 will finally let us have ponies and unicorns in our captains quarters, life in the 'verse will be spectacular! It will make things so fast and shiny battles will finish before they even start!

Back in my days we did everything in assembler.
Full screen.
In realtime!

Nowadays kids have no ******* clue how to write fast code
or not rely on hardware to do a man's job.

We had fast, actual voxel engines, not silly, gigantic blocks like in minecraft.
We had realtime raytracing, fullscreen, running on a single cpu!

And then came Windows.

Realistically speaking you only need to upgrade the graphics card which you can get for a couple of hundred bucks. My computer is about 4 years old with parts that were couple of years old even then, yet it's DX11 capable. So you know, upgrade your comp at least once a decade, cheapskate. :P

400-1000 dollars? Good googly moogly, that's overkill. Even if you bought a current gen card, you'd only need a GTX 960 which you can get on sale for like 150-180 if you time it right.

A next gen card only works as well as the next bottleneck in your system, whether its ram that is not made anymore so is increasing in price, or a new mobo to handle new ram.

IIRC, the EVE servers don't run graphics, so DX12 will not improve time dilation.

Pon Farr Memorial: once every 7 years, all the carebears in high-sec must PvP or they will be temp-banned.

Even if it did run the graphic, you would still be stuck with clogged CPU pipes because of all those god damn object in space on the same node.
