Er, yeah I keep forgetting to reset that! Should be in the middle.
1080, overclocked but just normal 1080. The CPU helps a lot, but yeah that 1.5 HMD Image Quality was 1.25 before the reinstll
Reinstalling Windows has been a REVOLUTION to my gaming performance

Those settings do seem high to me as well, and I have a 1080ti...
Here's mine atm,
And I run a moderate pixel density setting of 1.33.
Even Ambient occlusion is on high, just with that alone I wouldn't expect to see myself pass 45 fps at all.
I 'only' have an i7 4790k, and it does seem to run at about 80% on all threads when in busy cz's and stations.

Not to mention Bloom, Blur, Ambient Occlusion and SMAA (none of which I've got turned on) and Ultra Shadows (where I have a cautious High). Impressive, most impressive.
What's your thinking behind FX Quality = Low? (I've not really experimented with anything other than maxing that setting).
FX low is just because I don't like the bloody lens flairs, they are so annoying. Only way to turn it off and still retain some diffraction
Well when I had a worse CPU than you I still ran at close to those settings so I think something is wrong with your system (hint hint reinstall wink wink)
Well, not really finding that possibility as shocking.
I'm already fairly set, honestly just need to refresh my bindings backup for ED and off I could go.
In my pre windows xp days, I had a comp where I ended up having to reformat twice a week or so.
Got into the habit of keeping my C: drive for just windows and installed software, and that's a habit that has stuck with me.
In short I can format it and probably not loose anything, I don't categorise as minor.
Just tried the beta with its optimisations in the hopes I could get 45fps in stations at 1.75x but alas can only reach 42-43 so it's quite jarring.
Wonder if I can shave off the gap with some more overclocking.
Good news is with the 1080Ti, that would be a piece of cake. 1.75x makes the stars look pretty small

So beta is working for you ?
I only get a black screen after seeing the shader preparation.

Grab a program called CloneZilla and make a boot DVD or USB key. Take an image of your HD in this wonderful, fresh and efficient mode. Next time you want a reinstall, go from that copy. All drivers and tweaks will be in place and you'll be good to go in minutes.
Format and reinstall is a nuclear option. In thirty years, I have seldom needed to do it. Registry repair, malware check, clearing temp files and removing programs / services from starting at boot usually gives the same results.
http://clonezilla.org/ Works on almost anything.

Just a quick pointer that I have done all of that, in many ways, I work in IT and I know what I'm doing and know lots of tricks and take good care of my PC.
Still saw these results.
It's pretty well established that format and reinstall is not a nuclear option but something that really makes a difference, so not sure why you say that.
Also, the very point of a fresh start is not to keep your tweaks and settings, but to get rid of everything. Something like clonezilla will maintain lots of the issues.
I am the same.
Never had a piece of clone software worth anything outside of some rather extreme installation setups, in short, you have 50 machines to get up and running type things.
And not to mention all the windows updates that had to get installed since you made the image.
Then RIS pretty much solved that too, and group policy installs most of the software packages.
For this I simply download the windows 10 download\install tool.
And let it download and make a USB.
Last time I tried this it included all needed patches and major software updates as well, and we all know how many of the windows problems stem from just those.

My point was a copy of what you have now (with the decent performance) will stop you from having to spend another 20 hours downloading and reinstalling it all again.
To any others. Backup your data before formatting if you go that route. Honestly, you should be doing it regularly anyway. I've seen too many disasters to not be cautious.
Backup. Backup again. Then make another backup, encrypt it, and keep it somewhere else.
I probably do a clean wipe on my main drive and reinstall windows once or twice a year. It gives me that same feeling when you deep clean your house top to bottom. I think I may have mental issues tho 
Hey man I am running 1080ti OC to 2012mhz - i7-7700k OC to 45.0. Are you experiencing a smooth ride in high extraction zones using those settings and do you have ASW set to auto, disabled or 45fps? I get a few frame drops during combat.. do you get the same thing?

I used to this to the pc before.
Just gotten lazy lately.
Reformatting and installing from usb now.
And apparently I have Cortana now.
That was new.
Don't think I have answered a woman with "no" as repeatedly as that.
Usually it's the other way around.

Take some well earned rep
Nothing we haven't done many times before.
And it was about time regardless.
My OS drive was so inflated I had barely a few gigs left.
And I move all library folders off to a storage drive.
As for backups, can't do anything loosing anything at all.
Seems I have forgotten to backup my voice attack, and I'm starting to suspect my voiceattack license was bought with an email account on a domain I have now let lapse and no longer exist...
Gave a quick test in elite, just undocking from a station, and I'm not seeing that huge a difference, although I am running some rather cranked settings.
HMD-q 1.5, SMAA, and Ambient occlusion to medium or something.
