Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

One of the most demanding planets I have seen, so thought I would record it and show what I was getting with a Titan X SC and a 3930K @ 4.4Ghz. Quite tough but more than acceptable and everything was maxed except for SS.

Awesome. Looked pretty damn smooth. And the Cutter is HUGE!

Wait... What? Where is the Crotch Screen? Have they removed it from Horizons now? What the hell! Please tell me that they have not removed it. Why do we have that SRV screen popping up when they had a perfectly good Crotch Screen? OMG this is the first I have seen of this. This is not good. The SRV screen pops up now whenever you look down? So much for enjoying the view from a Lakon ship. That really sucks.

Anyways... I assume that you were Ultra on all settings (you said maxed, so I assume ultra would be max). What were you set to on the Super Sampling? And is that 1440P 21:9 or 1440P 16:9? I know the recording was 16:9. What monitor? Also, what motherboard? Chipsets may make a difference in the High End for PCIe memory lanes and such. I have been considering what to do for the next PC and I was not sure if I should go 1 Huge Stonking beast card, or SLI on a couple of lower cards like the 960/970 as the cost is better on 2 of those than one 980TI here.

Yer, they have moved the crotch screen and I dislike it also

It was maxed with SS on the standard x1 and 16:9 1440P but everything else was as high as it would go. My comp is as follows:

3930K @ 4.4Ghz
16GB Avexir mem @ 2333Mhz
Asus RIVF
EVGA SC Titan X
Asus ROG Swift PG278Q

I think I a single 970 will do fine, maybe not if you want to hit ultra and run steady 75fps+

I tested a bit last night with my Christmas presents to myself.
A 3440x1440 screen and a 980ti.

Everything on ultra and super sampling to 1x anything lower and it downscales resolution and that look like absolute shit. It actually looked better to set a lower resolution and just let the panel do the scaling.

It's 60hz and I use vsync so that is probably limiting me. I was seeing high 50's in windows 8. I also upgraded to 10 yesterday and I'm getting 60 and no lower than 54-55. So noticeably better performance in win 10 than 8. And I think 8 has better performance than win 7 from I hear people crying on the forums for.

I am thinking of returning the new screen and swapping it for the Asus ROG with g-sync..

I also hate the bottom pop out screen it completely immersion for what X
Could have been sorted with two direct key bindings.

Why on gods green earth do I need to have access to the shipyard sale blurb of the ship I am flying?
I would much rather just have deploy buggy in the functions menu with landing gear and silent running.

Yep, a standard look to the right and options for the SRV could have been placed there + recall/send ship.

Well, at least you can set the bottom screen to not pop up when you look at it and just use the 3 key. It really does seem like it should be on the functions panel or have a direct key binding though.

You are a freaking saviour of what little sanity I have left

I have been tooling around and feeling a little bit stupid, since I kind of discovered something about the graphical settings.

It seems to me that if you like me are using v-sync, disabling frame rate limit is a very good idea.
It became quite obvious that it limits frame rate THEN v-syncs, so if you v-syncs samples are capped at 60fps it can only go lower than 60.

Disabling the frame rate limit and v sync seems to net me really good fps (not quite as high maybe as gregster since I have a slower cpu and larger screen , mostly cpu I guess).

I just hope that I'll be able to play this if I put an ssd into my Laptop

^{I don't expect much of my GT750m though}

NOW you tell me.....

It's the most annoying thing ever when flying an Asp and trying to look down at the planet surface.....

It's doing my head right in.....
