hardware

Hi! I wanna say Elite Dangerous i my preferred game with my 2500+ hours ingame and i made everything year by year to reach the higher quality and performance possible... I updated my hardware step by step until now... There are three cases where you have the worst performance in Elite: on a...

Was mucking around the web tonight, and apparently, 2 current games, spiderman and avatar frontiers of pandora will only have ray tracing modes.. which i take to mean they're not spending development resources on non ray traced versions of the same features. This actually sounds exciting...

For your interest and comment, @CMDR Vulkarius and myself have made a 32 button board with the intent of using it for elite! Its an idea which has been toying with for many moons, but alas, i jumped into being this year and greatly accelerated when Vulkarius took on the software challenge...

I'm torn between "take my money" and there is absolutely no point in this. Source: https://youtu.be/OIIYxlIEEt0

as the xbox support got killed, i decided to setup a 2nd OS on my pc workstation and upgrade my GPU, what was needed anyways. after looking into what GPU's would be best, there are 3 candidates: GeForce GTX 980 GeForce GTX 1070 GeForce GTX 1070 Ti no other GPU is considered, because either...

Hey ED gang! Sooo I apologize that this is a bit of a read but I'm not 4 weeks without VR and I can't find help anywhere else (including Oculus support). I first started playing ED:Horizons in November and from November to January I had the most fun you could possibly have with pants on...

Hello devs i run an aspire a515-54 i think and it has a nvidia mx250 when i'm in space away from station my frame rates are clean and crisp but as soon as i dock my lag is really bad so i was wondering if for update 10 you could optimize a littler more for lower end graphics cards (Im ok with...

Anyone who has one able to provide the footprint of the stand? I believe its fairly large and I'm trying to work out whether it will fit on my current desk or not. G5 or the G7 in either 27" or 32". Would love one but it may be too big to allow me to use the keyboard :) Many thanks :)

At this point in time, the game is designed to run on what is now considered to be rather old hardware with both the last generation of consoles and the minimum and recommended PC specifications for the game and assuming that FDev want the game to continue to grow and evolve, I believe that an...

So i got a brand new 32" monitor, looks amazing, color really good, according to online tests almost exactly on the srgb line (tho i like it a tad brighter) So my questions are: 1. What is "dark stabilizer"? It just looks to me like it cranks up the gamma a bit, is that it? 2. Any way to use...

I have an old stealth 450 thats had its day. The battery life seems to be declining especially with the mic on, which seems to shorten time between charges considerably. Since most good headsets seem to use about the same audio tech, im primarily looking for long active uptime between charges...

It seems like the End is near for my Hard Drive. It's already approximately 10 Years old (I needed to use my old Hard Drive because when I bought my current Computer, somehow Windows 10 was so extremely bad that it killed the completely new Hard Drive). I've never bought a Hard Drive myself, so...

I'm playing the classic Star Wars space sims again, at the mo I use a hat on my warthog throttle for 0, 33, 66, 100% throttle settings (in game key presses) via Joy to Key. I recently had a play with TARGET and managed to get 33,66, 100% working on the throttle axis by dividing it up into...

I've learned about eGPUs and it's the only thing I need to run Planet Coaster. All my other hardware is fine. I'm guessing that if I use the external graphics card instead of my internal, the game will run smooth? Thanks!

So last year I decided to get a new monitor, and through reviews and stats I settled on the Dell S2417DG. Unfortunatly it didn't quite offer a good experience. Sadly ED seems to be the game most affected by this, since the problem only occurs on dark gradients. On other games the performance...

Hi guys. Ever since starting to learn the guitar I've also been playing all my games with mouse and keyboard to keep strengthening my dexterity. It's working BTW. My fretting/keyboard hand is getting stronger by the week. However I have noticed that quite frequently on my membrane-based...

Well, I finally did it - I pulled the trigger and ordered myself a PC powerful enough to run ED. The main reason for this "defection" is for productivity reasons - there is work that I do that will benefit from a more powerful computer than this 2012 MacBook I'm currently on. I also find myself...

There's a chance that I might come into some extra money later this year. Technically I have money now, but I am VERY frugal. Still, I may be in the market for a new 'power user' laptop, and if I could get something that can play ED for hours at 1920x1080x60fps Ultra quality, well I might...

Everyone likes to post their amazing systems but I would love to hear from fellow laptop players of Elite what your Low-Spec laptop is and how well it plays. I run a used laptop from E-Bay $199 (US) $335 (CDN with shipping and border fees) as follows which runs Elite just fine. :) Lenovo...

Firstly, I don't know if this is the proper place to post this, but I didn't see any dedicated forum or sub-forum for hardware discussion, so if this is in the wrong place, I do apologize, and please move it to the proper forum/sub-forum. Now, on to my plight (so to speak); I've been playing...

I may be getting a new laptop to replace my old one, and if I do, I would probably invest in a low or mid-range (under $1000 US) gaming laptop. I haven't been a PC gamer since Unreal Tournament and Quake Arena days, so I have some questions, particular in regards to Elite Dangerous. Most of...

Hey all, Just upgraded to a vive pro from OG vive. Fantastic improvement IMO. My system's struggling a bit to power it, even with a 1080ti, and I'm wondering if it's because I've switched to a different machine with slightly different specs than my old one. Was running the same card on an i5...

First of all... Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all! The family CFO (read as: wife) approved and surprised me with a great upgrade from my old AMD FX8320 system. So here's what I have to work with under the hood right now: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-CF Motherboard 16GB...
