Hin Raven Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 53	Posted - 2014.05.09 20:32:00 - [1] - Quote Thats ccps recommend spec. Would an i3 or i5 be any use. I thought a 11 year old game would be a lot less.
Shadowswipe Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 251	Posted - 2014.05.09 20:36:00 - [2] - Quote They keep updating it to keep it looking good. And recommended is not min specs. http://www.eveonline.com/faq/client-system-requirements/

ZDub 303 TeamPlayers Dirt Nap Squad. 2826	Posted - 2014.05.09 20:45:00 - [6] - Quote I wouldn't waste the money on an i7 for gaming at all. Nothing uses 8 threads... i5 all day for gaming PC. (get the unlocked 'K' version and overclock it for even better performance than a stock i7)
Ekrano Fergus Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 51	Posted - 2014.05.09 21:07:00 - [7] - Quote I usually have 2 eve clients and smite running fine on my i3 /)_/) ( . .) C(") (")

knight of 6 SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 1930	Posted - 2014.05.09 21:21:00 - [9] - Quote I run eve on my toaster... it's not a difficult game, certainly don't build a PC for it. my gif is gone, DINKLEBURG!! Ko6, scout
Hairy Butter Fairy Fleet 115	Posted - 2014.05.09 21:24:00 - [10] - Quote My 6yo laptop runs eve just fine.

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 14837	Posted - 2014.05.09 22:14:00 - [11] - Quote Eve will be requiring DX11 soon so get ready for that much at least and make sure your video card is ready for that. CPM 0 Secretary Omni-Soldier, Forum Warrior, Annoying Artist \\= Advanced Caldari Assault // Unlocked

(get the unlocked 'K' version and overclock it for even better performance than a stock i7) Not true anymore. check out a game coming out this year that will use everything you throw at it. IE an i7 I5 is fine for eve and most games though. If you find yourself in a fair fight, "Your tactics SUCK!"
Chesyre Armundsen Thanes Of Dust 509	Posted - 2014.05.09 23:27:00 - [13] - Quote I can second running the EVE client on my i3. I don't play EVE, but I fired it up for a month to check it out and I liked what I saw Mihi gravato Deus - "Let God lay the burden on me!" The Space Hippie
Enji Elric Matari Combat Research and Manufacture Inc. 310	Posted - 2014.05.09 23:31:00 - [14] - Quote dude you can run EVE on a newer Pentium (3.0GHZ) eve is not that resource intensive see you on other games GHOST RECON PHANTOMS Becuase Ben Affleck was the bomb HAWKEN Warframe STO Steam Benja865
M1A1 Blaster Master Capital Acquisitions LLC Dirt Nap Squad. 12	Posted - 2014.05.09 23:33:00 - [15] - Quote I would run 6 clients with inner space on my MX15 with an i5. I also have a P4 PC that still runs EVE as well.
Kristoff Atruin Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2197	Posted - 2014.05.09 23:35:00 - [16] - Quote Eve can run on a potato if you turn the graphics down. I have an i5 and I've been running two clients at max settings for a long time. Last week my video card bit the dust so while it's being replaced by the manufacturer I'm running on an old GTX 460 instead. No problem, just gotta turn down the bling a little.

(get the unlocked 'K' version and overclock it for even better performance than a stock i7) Not true anymore. check out a game coming out this year that will use everything you throw at it. IE an i7 Game is called Star Citizen which im leaving Eve/Dust for. I5 is fine for eve and most games though. If/when a game can actually use 8 threads I might consider an upgrade. Although an overclocked i5 running 4 threads would probably handle it just fine. I can't imagine an i5 running all 4 threads at 90% could not be bottlenecked by any modern graphics cards... Star citizen must have some ridiculous physics engine that makes it unique, I don't imagine well see many games like that for another 5 years at least.
THUNDERGROOVE Fatal Absolution Dirt Nap Squad. 763	Posted - 2014.05.10 02:42:00 - [18] - Quote I can play EVE with medium settings on my potato of a PC at ~30-45 FPS TDBS My * points to her interface{} if you know what I mean

The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 3041	Posted - 2014.05.10 03:14:00 - [20] - Quote honestly dont bother with eve. Its just wasted time and money cause CCP barely pulls out new content for that game. Except you call bug fixes and rebalancing "content". I played it for a year and stopped after i asked myself: "WTF ARE IM DOING HERE?!"

Ludvig Enraga KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 1069	Posted - 2014.05.10 03:34:00 - [21] - Quote I used to play it on an old coffee maker, so you should be fine. PLC, NK, Scout - before 1.8. That's right, I stack that OP Sh!t.
Mary Lilac Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 304	Posted - 2014.05.10 04:13:00 - [22] - Quote Eve is boooooooooooooooooring. If you get a gaming PC at least use it for a decent game like IDK, anything else. 1-800-345-SONY. PRESS 2 THEN 2. GET YOUR REFUND. RE-POST THIS IN YOUR SIG. Be polite, they want to refund you!
Izlare Lenix Arrogance. Caps and Mercs 563	Posted - 2014.05.10 05:22:00 - [23] - Quote I have a six year old piece of crap desktop. It was ok new, quad core with some kind of graphics card, but it wasn't top of the line. I have ran three eve clients at the same time when I was grinding isk in a wh. However I do have to keep the graphics settings all on low, but honestly, it doesn't effect game play having graphics on low so I don't care. But once project legion becomes real, I will be getting a new gaming computer so I do look forward to playing EVE on high settings again. That dark and dreary space full of spaceships is beautiful in high res. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

ANON Cerberus Tiny Toons 611	Posted - 2014.05.10 06:41:00 - [25] - Quote I have used my trusty Dual core (effective 4 thread HT!!!...lol) old core I3. I can triple box eve happily at full settings. Granted It is overclocked to over 4Ghz. But an I7 would absolutely wipe the floor with eve. Unless you were in a 2000man fight then no computer will suffice.

If you care about your reputation in EVE, your isk, your isk efficency and your pvp prowess - then PVP in EVE is the most adrenaline fuelled of any game. If you find eve boring then you are doing it very wrong or the game is just not for you. Join RvB or someone like that, get stuck in with pvp and have fun.

I will admit, RvB looked like fun, but that is kind of like Dust. It is consentual PvP of non-consequence. If you are in 0.0, either it is a completel grind-fest (like POS/structure shooting), roaming for hours with many many blue-balls, fleet actions that are time-dilated to be just slow as hell, or ganks. 0.0 used to be fun when it was still sort of wild and mysterious where you might not see a player for hours.... Kind of like wormholes were to begin with.... Seriously, Eve is just incredibly boring. If you do not have LARGE chunks of time to invest in eve, do not both (I mean don't even log in unless you have 2-3 hours chunks). 1-800-345-SONY. PRESS 2 THEN 2. GET YOUR REFUND.
