    just FYI, I was in Barnard's Loop last night on my first ever EVER exploration out of the bubble, around 2,000LY from Sol....

    ....and I thought, damn all these beautiful planets and I can't land on them. I'm starting to get a bit of ship-sick.


    So, head to Steam and splurged $49.99CAD.



    Next system stop?


    Time to bring this fat boy down.........

    You are observant and correct as almost always.

    BTW... Engineers came just as I was going off for two weeks work. I got home on 25th and Engineers ended the next day.

    I advise people everywhere not to make work a priority.

    So I've got myself two additional monitors on the way now, identical to one of the monitors I already have. 5760*1080 might tempt me back into Elite :D.

    That is, assuming all those pixels don't make my GTX 970 melt. Though I did overclock it yesterday; got a nice 17% boost in Unigine Valley scores through pure clock speed adjustments - no overvolting whatsoever.

    overall graphic improvements is roughly 17% across the average system.

    My 970 used to dip under 60 few times inside a station when running DSR resolution.

    Now, no more dips.


    As for 2.1.... holy ****, FD just put the word Dangerous back into Elite: Dangerous.

    If you're ranked Expert in combat or above, or have a high powerplay rank or allegiance, or have high-end ship....... basically if you LOOK like you were tough pre-2.1, the NPC will school you back to reality. Fast.

    I like it. Still getting used to it though. Lost my FDL twice last night.

    Which resolution were you oversampling to?

    17% performance improvement sounds good to me. ED was one of the few games I was worried about running at 5760*1080, but engine improvements and a nice little overclock will definitely help that.

    My monitor is 1080, so I DSR to the "next step up", not the "highest option" lol... i forgot the exact numbers........

    5760*1080 sounds like u might need to adjust some of the settings. I run the nvidia's recommended Ultra at 1x supersampling.

    Well I have made my way over to the Maia system to grab some Meta Alloys, to hand in at Farseer Inc so I can start working on the FSD on my Asp to try and get it over 40Ly per jump, to make exploring abit faster.

    As for the Resolution etc, my Dad runs the game at 5760*1080 on 2 GTX 780Ti's at Ultra and has no issues with frame rate, IIRC he is getting nearly 100fps at that resolution but it's been a while since I saw it running so no 100% sure.

    I am running it at 4K Ultra and hit 100fps with Shadowplay enabled and the frame rate stays the same regardless of if I am recording or not, but with Shadowplay turned off I get around 120fps so generally I have it turned off and use OBS now for recording.

    There is nothing more honourable in battle than victory.
    Never give up, never surrender.

    Voice attack allows you to play audio clips when you execute an action [emoji106]

    Hey all, I just got back to playing ED after a hyatus of nearly a year. Are there any player bit-tech player groups, or anyone that wants to team up for a mission or two? I am in the Vega System, with Cobra MkIII fully upgraded, and 2m cr. My name is CMDR THE MEGAMALE.
