Premium graphics

Which new display options are included the Premium Graphics version of EVE?

With the EVE Trinity expansion, several new graphic options were made available through the game settings screen.

To access those simply press the Settings button at the log in prompt.or the ESC button on your keyboard when logged on.

Shadows
This setting activates model shadows in game. Shadows however add a lot of strain on your graphic card and it is not recommended to activate that option on low to average performance computers.

HDR
Adds metallic reflections and light penetration on the models. Works well when used with bloom. Do note that enabling HDR puts great stress on graphics card not designed for HDR.

Resource Cache Enabled
Might increase performance at the cost of using more memory

Bloom
Controls the reflection intensity on the ships. Options available are "None", "Low" and "High".

Shader Quality
Affects the level of quality for shaders, the higher it is the more impact it has on performance.

Texture Quality
It's suggested to keep Texture Quality low if you have a graphics card that does not have much memory

LOD Quality
Changing the Level of Detail influences performance, especially on older graphics cards.

Before any changes will be activated, the "Apply" button will have to be pressed.

"Reset graphic settings" will put display options back to their default values.

It's recommended that players with older hardware or computers which are around the minimum specifications to play EVE use the Optimized Performance setting under Optimize Settings
