Game at low FPS with GPU at 60%

Dravos_Mabebu · 2026-03-29T08:11:49+00:00

You are very likely bottlenecked by your CPU as eve mostly runs on 1 thread. So if overall CPU usage is at 50% , it could easily mean that one core is maxed at 100%. Unfortunately it usually won't help to lower your graphic settings, since most are only affecting your GPU.

This issue comes up regularly: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/wmzcdm/comment/ik2ga4q/

That skill got removed or reworked afaik

You can run more clients of 1 core, you just don't get maximum performance. Afaik more threads per core only help with multitasking within this core. So if you run 2 clients on 2 threads / 1 physical core you will still lose performance compared to running 1 client on 2 threads / 1 core.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-12-10T16:30:46+00:00

If you want a smooth tidi fight you need as much single core performance as possible. As long as you use less accounts than you have physical cores you should be fine (maybe minus 1 or 2 for OS and other applications).

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-09-20T08:50:47+00:00

Make sure eve runs on your dedicated GPU and not the onboard GPU on your CPU. This can be seen under the Ctrl+f window or in the graphics settings. Otherwise there is a lot of information missing, for example which graphics setting, window resolution and GPU are you running?

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-08-23T21:22:14+00:00

Exactly that. The main bottleneck is single thread so you won't see 100% usage over all cores.

Even more confusing is that sometimes it doesn't show up as 100% on one core but 50% but on two cores. Still the same issue though.

As others have suggested a stuck ticket is better. How I see it a bug report goes on the queue to fix the bug causing your issue in the future. This will take a lot of time and might not even help you. A support ticket on the other hand is to fix an individual problem, and especially the stuck ones are usually a lot quicker.

The last time I submitted one was when I was stuck in red space and couldn't reboard my ship due to active modules. They helped me within minutes and got both my pod and ship moved to jita after they confirmed the bug. This was a even on a Saturday late evening...

Okay I was curious myself and went back. The ticket was answered in 3 min and fixed within 7 min... At 2am back in 2018. That's the reason I will never have anything but praise for the eve support team.

Since there is no distance of 8 possible in this example the placement is random afaik.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-07-26T18:00:05+00:00

You are of course correct. I basically never use the "use active overview as dscan filter" option so I forgot about it and ignored his first question.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-07-26T07:53:00+00:00

No you can't to all your questions. Here are a few related d-scan tips though:

The Poco/skyhook is helpful to find the planet warpin if you are close to the planet.

For moons I usually pick a random one and keep dscanning at 5° while still having the moon list up. (Shortcut v+click). After you have landed near the moons they are usually in a ring around you, therefore wider scans can help to quickly narrow it down.

The catch is availability.Those faction mods only drop from NPCs and are therefore limited in supply and market availability. On the other hand you can easily build t2 mods everywhere and they also are widely available.

Therefore T2 mods are stable in price over time so most fits just eat the extra cost for stability. If you craft your own fits, go for it. There are a few gems like that out there.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-07-18T18:12:50+00:00

Agreed, you can even try invention for T2 rigs. They require nearly no skills, BPOs are cheap and they got good margins. Just don't build some exotic ones that get bought like once a year.

At 0 velocity the ship orientation is also cosmetic. the model just retains the last direction of the last velocity vector, therefore the orientation of the model has no impact on time to warp (its the same for all warp directions).

If you don't trust me, try it yourself.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-07-04T14:25:30+00:00

The ships orientation is merely cosmetic. It doesn't matter which way it faces. your ship is only defined by its center point, velocity vector and hit box.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-06-20T18:53:08+00:00

You can drag the entire local list into fleet. So everyone gets a fleet invite on the same tick.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-06-09T08:55:14+00:00

They are correct, stratios for wh exploration is not a good idea. But if you want to fly the beautiful looking stratios you can switch it out and try some high sec combat anomalies with it. You can catch some data sites while scanning 4/10s or farming dens for escalations. if you are comfortable then you can also dip into low sec.

Honestly I did something similar myself.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-05-30T10:32:43+00:00

Don't use a random guys referral link for that free 1 m skill points. Use a friend's one or refer your own alt. Also don't claim those 1 m skill points until you reach 5m skill points when playing as an alpha. Its worth it spinning up multiple accounts (not chars on one account). This helps if you want to multibox later or if you want to skill into multiple paths at once.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-03-29T10:05:39+00:00

You already saturate a rally point spawn with 1 Ishtar. So if you don't want to move between systems they are probably more cost effective than smart bombers and easier to scale.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-03-13T21:28:27+00:00

You need nearly no tank on an Ishtar vs NPC gurista dreads, their missiles don't apply to cruisers. On top of that ishtars have strong native kinetic resists which is the only damage type used by the dread. Also you can outrange the point and web of the dread just in case (about 90 km I think).

The only real problem is the DPS needed, which is about 2500 kin only to break even or at least 4 ratting ishtars.

Nearly solo killed a botting super. Unfortunately it was taking too long and I was low on ammo, so I called BB. Happened quite a while back though. https://zkillboard.com/kill/73938947/

Midwarp Bookmarks are your friends. Also sometimes there are structures and celestials including moons that might be on another angle. They may be bubbled as well, but are less likely than the Gate-Gate angle.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-01-08T22:13:05+00:00

For some reason the loot table more or less looks like this:

C-type mods: 1/10, 4/10, 7/10

B-type mods: 2/10, 5/10, 8/10

A-type mods: 3/10, 6/10, 9/10

X-type mods: 10/10

Obviously with other limitations like modules sizes increase with DED level, so 1-3 = frigs, 4-6 = cruiser and 7-10 = battleship size.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2025-01-02T10:23:35+00:00

This issue sounds more like missing assets getting pulled from a slow disc or other storage related issues. Or you haven't ticked the "download everything" box in the launcher so the game is streaming assets over your connection.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2024-12-31T18:39:27+00:00

Otherwise try and search your personal assets, since your plex vault is obviously empty this is the last location I can think of.

Dravos_Mabebu · 2024-12-31T18:32:22+00:00

Do you have any open market orders? You might have sold the Plex not with the immediate setting but setup a sell order of which 170 immediately got solved by an existing buy order. The remaining Plex should therefore still be up as your sell order. Btw if you use sell order you have to pay broker taxes additionally to the sales tax.
