Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I have major fps drops flying around in space, jumping gates, doing hacking game, sorting industry lines, etc with the graphics on LOW. It's Christmas time and I have ~$200-350 CAD to buy myself a treat.

I would like to run up to 5 clients on LOW settings and have the option to play with MAX settings when I only have 1-2 clients active clients. I realize there are recommended system requirements, but I do not understand if I exceed those and if I do, then why is it so bad?

Below are 3 screenshots; Two detail the FPS drops and what commands I entered. The last is my system overview according to Speccy. Only 1 active client.

I have a tech savvy friend, but he designed this PC and it was supposed to work the first time. Alas, here I am asking the community for help. If you have any experience in a smooth Eve running computer that gets pushed with a few extra clients (2-3), please help a PC newbro out.

Thank you,

Space

**Update** After some discussion I have purchased an SSD from a friend and a new RX 470 gpu. Will follow up for any of the ppl who are interested in the performance differences.

Those screenshot are with one client running or do you have other clients running while you were doing your test?

Hi David, those screenshots were with one client running on low settings. Thanks for your attention.

I've had numerous replies through reddit and I believe it may be a GPU issue and plan to upgrade it when I see a good deal. After that I will piecwise upgrade or just do it all at once. New grad, new job, new computer soon TM!!

Cheers!
