Hi
Probably a very old issue, but nonetheless:
Xeon X5650 @ 4.2GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX970OC, all Eve settings maxed, interval one

Previously i was playing on two screens, one @4k and the other one at FHD resolution with windowed clients snapped to fullscreen and had steady 60fps.
I recently gifted the FHD display to my brother in need, so i am left with the 4k display for my dual eve endeavours (window snapped left and right).

Only the focused client gets 60fps, the other one fluctuates between 10 and 60 until it is focused again.

Is it the card's power management or a limitation of the eve client?
How can i fix this?

Are you playing in borderless windowed? I do and get the same thing, so maybe that's it. I'd swap to full-screen to see, but I run Eve across both monitors and switching would mess with my UI settings, which means backing up the settings folder, switch and test, then replace settings folder just to see if full-screen does anything different.

Having this exact same issue. Bumping since I haven't figured out a solution(If it exist).

I run 2 clients on seperate screens and experience a drop as well. Nothing as low as 10 fps though. I only get very slight drops. Not really visable, only really notice if fps monitor is open. I presume its nothing to do with eve but more likely to do with process prioritization at the graphics card or OS level.

I run 6 clients across 3 sometimes 4 screens. 980ti with a i7 920,12 gig of ram. However all 6 cients stay at approx 55 fps if i keep it in Interval 1. If I set it to interval immediate it will have a framerate in the 3-400 hundred range on the focus and the others drop to 20-30. So i just keep interval 1. All windowless
