1.1.02 finally AWESOME with rift and latest nvidia drivers.

Chris_t0f · Feb 12, 2015

Finally, I am back to getting the same level of graphic quality and performance out of the DK2 since a while back in beta.

With a single GTX970, latest nvidia drivers 347.52, everything is maxed out and I get no lag in station at all.
I get sporadic 1s freezes when I approach planets too close when I try to align with station entrance in SuperDrive, but nothing major since it gets back quickly to 70fps... (BTW, only FXAA gives me this and it looks good)

Until now, I had to get 2 notches down in graphic quality to get the same fps. I am using a type 7 so the fov is pretty wide too...

I wish I could easily change my GUI to green without changing anything but maybe that's coming.

Thanks FD!

What settings do you have? I have a single 970 as well.

I have to set shadows and reflections to low, and turn off blur, bloom, ambient oclusion and AA. everything else on high

Re changing the hud colours, they added a new xml file for graphics override, which doesn't get overwritten when the game is patched. Can't remember the exact details but if you search the forum you should find it.

I reset all settings when I updated the drivers (check clean install option). All setting set to max in ED except medium shadows. FXAA seems to be the key. I never got anything like this and even when downsampling, I had to put the graphics quality slider 2 notches down, not anymore. (that quality slider is the only thing that impacted the overall performance anyway)

I run Windows 7 Ultimate with a I7-4771 CPU @3.50Ghz and I have a 128Gb SSD drive for OS/apps (which may get you a performance boost caching also).

Good luck/

Are you doing any oversampling at all ? Or just running at 1080 ? I have mine set to a slight level of oversampling (1.1 or 1.2x I think, can't remember the exact res).

The only thing I won't compromise on is shadow quality - I have it set to Ultra, and dammit if there's a little bit of judder, but it looks so much better that way.

for green i use this setup which works great:

<MatrixRed> 0.18, 0, -1 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> -1, 1, -1 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 0.15, 0.32, 1 </MatrixBlue>

Does it change the color of enemy (red), neutral (white) or friendly (green) dots on the radar?

Thanks

Just running at 1080, not downsampling anymore.

So no maxed out, or are you using also x2 supersampling ?

Done the same - no shudder or lag - thanks for posting your findings +1

Do you set that in the Nvidia control panel? or In-game?
