EVE can run good from a budget 400 dollar gaming box upto a 9 thousand dollar box... it really depends on your budget and what else your looking for out of the box. |

You're an idiot.
Ignoring him, you can run eve pretty well on a budget 500-600 dollar computer, and with max settings on about 800 and up.
If you stick with a setup like: a mid-range Core i5 processor, at least 4 gigs of ram, a mid to high-end motherboard, and a graphics card no more than 3-4 generations back (I personally wouldn't go less than a mid-high end 300 series for nvidia, or a mid-high end 5000 series for ATI cards)

It is build to run on low-end hardware with graphic settings at lowest values, my 3 year old duo core desktop still holds out with an upgraded graphics card for improved visuals.

The graphical upgrades even set on minimum will murder any machine in '03...
Thank you for your uninformed opinion. EVE today is very different from when it was released. |

there's a 500 dollar tower at best buy with 8gig 3-chan ram that's just fine. I just bought it to get me through until I've decided on the next big thing (occulus rift), but I can dual-box eve and watch videos at the same time without a hick-up.
until eve get's patched again... they continually update the requirements to run eve, as it's a service. so no computer is a sure thing for long.
the model number is dx4870. it's a gateway. it's not a good computer, but it's good for now. |

If you get a decent video card and an ok amount of RAM eve can be very pretty to look at. If you do large 400 to 1000 player fleet battles you'll need to turn the graphics down though. |

Good advice here. Eve runs on pretty much anything built in the past 3 years. I still run it on my laptop that I bought for $400 in 2010. It doesn't handle smokey 'nebula' type effects very well and multiboxing makes it a bit choppy but it does work.
Most any current 'mid grade' hardware will probably run it well for well under $1000. If you want to get in on the really big battles with thousands of players then you may look at spending a little more on better performance.
If you aren't afraid of putting it together but maybe find the idea of picking the right parts out of the thousands available a bit overwhelming, you can find some pretty good deals on kits as well. |

Just read up on windows 8 it's a like or hate relationship. There are always OS options but given the like or hate nature of windows 8 its best to know what OS you want. |

Hey guys I'm not the most tech minded person when it comes to laptop/desktop performance stats.
I'm getting this laptop from my friend since he has a better one now.
How well will I be able to run EVE on this G74SX ASUS Laptop? |

Surprised people are going as high as $400+.
With the exception to massive fleet battles, Eve Online runs quite well on anything built even remotely recently. I often play on my $120 backup box without issue (the gpu in there probably goes for $5 these days). |

My 2006 laptop that's in its death throes runs it fine. I'd wager anything at about $400 would run in. I would not bother with anything with higher graphics capacity. EvE is an ugly game - it's about space, so you'll be flying through lots of black space in a space ship of low design detail.
Oh, sht! I just learned you can make a signature! Thanks, CCP! Forums are getting better!

It will most definitely run it just fine, not sure about max graphics settings but most ppl won't bother running them on max anyway.

You won't have much trouble playing on max settings. Atleast see for games it depends imo on three factors your processor. Allthough not the latest it is an i7 (just a standard factory one, possibly socket 1150 or 1155). Then your graphics card in this case it would be a GTX 560M again not the latest, but not really a problem since i played on my older computer on max settings with a gtx 570. And then the last one is what really determines whether you can play a game on max settings is the computing speed of your memorycards. You need atleast 4 gb to play properly on max settings. And i think that is what you have, the computing speed of them is on the lower side DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM, but also not really a problem it just thinks alittle bit slower then perhaps a 1600 MHz or 1866 MHz. If it does become all to slow for you, then you can always ad more memory first depending on which one you get, it can be expanded up to either 16 or 8 gb (also your motherboard can possibly only handle memory cards up to 1600 MHz, also commen in commercial computers). The more the better, however there is a limmit to what a game uses, so eventually some of that memory won't be used by the game. And your OS, etc will always need to use some of that memory aswell. So the more you can expand on a computer the better and the longer you can use it. If you want to change your processor chip later on for a faster or newer one, you would have to change your motherboard aswell, since the current motherboard is made for that chipset only (maybe a few others but not manny). To use another graphic card, would depend basicly on how much room you have in the laptop, aswell as how many PCIe slots, I think the laptop might only have one (which is commen in commercial computers), maybe two if your lucky. For the latest graphic cards you need the space of atleast two slots.
So imo it will run on max settings, just don't expect it to be the fastest computer in the world. Should you get the i5 then its still not a bad computer, just see if you can put more memory in since i think the i5 has only 2 gb as it is.
Buying a 400-800 computer is not always a bad thing, it gives you what you want at that time, but one needs to realize you get what you pay for, so the factory's will always put lesser models in, then perhaps the latest on the market. As an example, you might get an i7, but not the best graphics card or memorycard or you might see 160 gb ssd, but it does not have the fastest rpm/cache etc. This is the only way they can make these computers cheap. If you where to actually buy the latest of the latest and fastest of the fastest, you would end up with a computer, starting round about 5000 euro ( 6,836 dollars). Even higher if you look at the ssd's (the more space, the higher the price), max i ever saw was around 10000 euro (13,672 dollars) for severall tbyte ssd. Is it worth it...no since every year they come with something newer and allthough if your smart you can expand on your computer, eventually you will have to start replacing parts. Its fun for hobbyist like me, but for the average gamer your better of just buying a store computer and replacing it every 5 years or so.
So i hope that helps a bit. I'm just a hobbyist, so if you want even more details ask a specialist. |
