hello

i enjoy nice screens but if i push too much, i cant use my 5 eve account in full graphics.
i need to set low shadows and HDR off

if i add a new video card in SLI, a second MSI radeon HD7970 oc 3Go, you think it ll be very fast or it ll stay the same ?

In general if you want performance you have to lower your alt accounts to performance settings.

I personaly run 7 eve clients all at 1600x900 with my main window set for quality (full graphics) and all the rest setup for performance. This way I get 60fps on the main (pritty one) with 30fps on all the rest with no lag

you have the 7 windows on the same screen ?
i dont like screen in .... lego ;)

my test system is now i7 3770k 3.5GHz / 32Go / 2 x ssd ocz vertex 3 128Go / 1 main screen 1920x1200 / 2 screens 1.920x1080 / Video msi 7970 3Go / w7 x64 pro
i hoped to be full graphics on the main and lower on 4 alts with 2 lower screens.
so that s why i ask to add a second video card in SLI ?

I have multipule layouts depends what I'm doing at the time if mining I use a lego style one screen layout so I can see all the miners and watch a movie on the other screen. For ratting or pvp I use a 5 man setup with my main on one screen and. The 4 alts on the second in 4 smaller but usable windows.

As far as I know (I don't own any ATI/AMD cards), Crossfire doesn't work in any form of Windowed mode.
