Powerplay Beta 1.3 live, lets test if it improves performance for VR!

I think that new preparing shaders thing is just to do with the planets, to remove stutter. You can turn it off in the AppConfig file in the beta directory - ShaderWarmingEnabled="0"

I didn't notice any planetary stuttering with this warm up going on. Can't complain about that.
 
I just created a custom resolution to supersample at 2560x1440. This has given me something moderately close to normality regarding graphical quality.

I wasn't normally able to run my GTX 780 at this resolution but having just installed the new Kepler drivers I thought I would give it another shot. Seems to handle it quite well.

I am starting to worry it may go live tomorrow with no fix in place!

If it did I would not be happy, but I don't think think it will go live tomorrow and if it did I would think rift support would get fixed... Would be such a backwards step otherwise !

Apparently I'm so mad I wrote it twice! :p
 
I can confirm it is totally fixed for me and then some! Looks totally amazing and is smoother than ever for me. The In game SS is working too! Looks gorgeous.. ahh such a relief :)

BTW, this is with SweetFX, the GUI color change, 1.5 SS etc

Yay SlackR, you got what you wanted :p

Whether it's because you shouted about it or they would have done it anyway, I'm just glad it's done
 
Now that it's clearer with beta 6, i'm wondering if everyone is seeing a perf improvement (reduced stuttering) as well?
 
JOY JOY JOY :D:D:D
its looking good as ever now even with a conda no judder in a station!!!
image quality @50% no AA or blur bloom med rest on high 75% draw distance 1.5 SS reshade and other tweaks ofc ;)
so thats better than live for me!!
on a single msi970 oc'ed a little

Ok off to try a RES site will report back asap

ok im going go out on a limb here and say it looks better than it has ever done i even tried the original GUI and that looked the sharpest ive ever seen
and the RES site was a smooth as butter with multiple contacts
without the need to drop the image quality slider at all

Now to see if the extra window works so i can stream some VR PP beta

TLDR: Imo it looks better than live with the same tweaks

Wow! I may not be that excited about the new PP content, but I can't wait to get my hands on 1.3 for the rift improvements!!! :D
 
Weird, looks the same as 1.3.4-.5 for me. But, that isn't a bad thing. It looks better in the DK2 than it ever has.

Please lord, let FD take advantage of the new SDK features to further the DK2 ED bliss. Thank you and Amen.

P.S. Please lord, make the Devs rethink PP. Amen.
 
OK I'm not an Imperial but the Courier with the fixed res is gob smackingly GOOD :eek:
going through all the ships now :p
