Holy Crap the new ice worlds look gorgeous. As an explorer they've always been worthless to me, but that's about to change...
Fps seems better in orbit / surf mode. Nice
SRV fps seems the same as beta, maybe SRV fps improvements will come in Beta 5

@Michael Brookes can you please add roads with trucks like in space stations to planet installations? Because now the cities feel abandoned.
I think the ice needs to reflect light more.

Oh, and any chance for this option to become a thing? Because the small SRV display in the turret is currently entirely useless to me, my head won't process the thing with the FOV-cone rotating:
(Btw I mentioned this already when we were shown the turret mode for the very first time in one of the official live streams.)

Because they're the requirements for Elite: Dangerous.
Bizarre. I have an HD6750M with "only" 1GB of VRAM. I haven't had any problem running the beta so far. Most graphic settings on medium and I get around 16-18 fps when on a planet at 1920 x 1200. I guess those limitations are not hardcoded in the game...

Need an audio version of these patch notes. Then I could listen to them on my way into work.
Short commute?
Yes.
Well...I've done my best the last couple of months...can't find the energy anymore so you're on your own.
Magic? No.
Improvements in how they handle the transition? Yes. Although...space based POI have other considerations to take into consideration. You saw Marks response.
Them applying similar transitions to space based drops from supercruise is indeed what I asked about.

Well, it works. But it just doesn't look pretty because the textures won't fit in memory
It is repaired!
Just first post with all this fixes exceeded the max characters number
18 fps is pretty low

I stand corrected by our wonderful QA team that the 470 1GB is the min spec, so my apologies.

He has a point, though. The store website specifically mentions:
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 470 / ATI 7240HD (DirectX 11 functionality required)
No mention of the amount of VRAM required.
FYI, I've been running the beta with a Radeon HD6750M with 1GB of VRAM. I have most settings on medium and still get 16-18 fps when on planet at 1920 x 1200. Unless they have made a massive change in the game, I can't see why a video card with "only" 1GB of VRAM would not be able to run the game (or the sim, whatever you call it).
I think there's a flaw with the scattering at the moment. Often icy parts in the shadows look very flat, as the game seems to not consider thickness of ice and little crevices. When you turn on head lamps it's fine.
Many thanks for the clarification.
Yea, I think the map uses the version of the planet which you see from a distance (and pre-Horizons). Which often look completely different to the Horizons version that pops up when you get close. Usually the lighting changes a lot to
