I'd love to join your inaugural SRV meetup, but unfortunately I'll have to work at 8PM (GMT). Perhaps on a weekend at some later date.

I have the next three Wednesdays off so I should be able to do this.
It's time to give this another go.

I finally got the last part for my new rig, and was able to build it over the weekend, so I will be finally able to play again! :D

I would love to take part in the meetup, but real life is a bitch at the moment. Just tell me when you want to do it, and I will join if I can.

(My new machine is so awesome, I can't help it, I just have to post this here: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/9532127
:o I am so happy! :) )

The only downside to that system is that all of the atmosphere-less moons are rocky bodies (rather than a mix of rocky, ice, and metal bodies) if you're planning on jumping around and trying a variety of surfaces during the meetup.


How far is Epsilon Serpentis from the Founders system? I am thinking perhaps starting in this area, if not too far, then we can wander as a group to an icy world sometime after?

Nice. I'd probably build something similar if starting over again. Not sure about cost, but I may have gone SLI with cheaper cards. I'm not sure if 16GB gained me anything, but that's the cheapest upgrade around.

Anyhoo, I'm glad you posted that link. I've recently been having graphics problems and had been experimenting with lowering my graphics settings (can't really tell much of a difference between ultra/high and med/low). I've mostly noticed these problems since the last launcher update, so I thought it was something FD had done.

I tried the benchmark test and only scored about 8700 (iirc), which put it in the top 25%. Not bad, but below the Oculus spec and lower than expected. For some reason it was only using one GPU. After a little digging, I found out my SLI was disabled. I don't know when or how it happened. It could have been a geforce software update or one of the crashes that reset all my in-game graphics setting. After rerunning the tests it scored 15k plus, which put it in the top 5%. Much better - ED is running smooth again. :)

(4790k, 16GB, 2x GTX970)

Cheers.
It's time to give this another go.

78LY, for the record. I'm currently beta testing in the Founders system.

I'm having to head down to London tomorrow (Wednesday) and won't be back until Thursday, so I'm going to be missing from my own thing! :(

Hopefully thursday evening, or friday evening I will see some folks online and group up.

If you get the opportunity, I would still add each other as friends and try and make this a thing, I want to see pictures!
