AMD Fury X and Elite Dangerous performance

The G1 isn't silent - it comes in above 40dB in most reviews. They kinda have a bad rep for coil whine as well but that's mostly just luck.

Edit - oh you mean the EVGA one. Is that available yet?

Hi, the Hybrid does look good. However, I ended up ordering the G1, which arrived this afternoon. I'm extremely happy with it so far, though my graphics drivers just crashed :( (353.30)
I also still need to set things up in the Nvidia CP, but at the moment I'm out exploring with 2.0 SS most things on high/ultra, smooth as butter. Though I expect to have to drop down the settings some when I go to a roid field. Will report back later but too hot to play at mo and the missus wants the BBQ sorting out.

I got my Fury X two days ago. There is a small whine but it is silent enough for me and everything runs stable at my system. I did overclock it a little and now I can run smooth with the Ultra preset with SMAA activated but without super sampling. With supersampling enabled to 1.5x and SMAA deactivated I don't get judder with mid to high settings (both tested in the training mission with the asteroid field and at one of the bigger stations. The maximum stable overclock I could get was 5.5%. 3DMark worked up to 7% but I had to lower it for Elite and Heaven Benchmark.

Here is my best 3D Mark: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/5352534
And here with 5% overclock: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/5352118

Seems even after an overclock of my cpu to 4.1 GHz boost speed (max I could get without playing with voltages) my I5 4670 K is slowing down the system a bit, but with DirectX 12 around the corner and all games running smooth at my used resolutions there is no need to upgrade the cpu now.

When voltage is unlocked on the Fury X it should be able to overclock much better but I'm going to wait for this until performance gets too low in everydays gaming and I guess when this happens it will be time for a second Fury X anyways as it does scale very well with crossfire.

If there is any interest for benchmarks I could run them over the weekend and post it there.

Hi all,

I am a bit disappointed with the SS results you guys are posting. I have a R9 290x (Sapphire) and that already runs pretty OK on 1.5-2.0 SS with the base resolution at 1440p. (Pretty ok in my book means >30fps, I hit 45-50 in the less active locations in deep space. That's including some AA. which usually takes about 4-5 fps.)

Anyway: I am waiting for the 14nm FinFET +HBM2 cards somewhere next year to hookup to my CV1 / Vive. And praying to the GPU gods that they don't need the watercooling as with the Fury X because I wouldn't know where to place it in my BRAND NEW Corsair 450D casing. (already have an NZXT cpu watercooler)

After all this time living with the stutter I got a 980Ti and now the stutter has completely gone with everything set to max even in stations and the middle of asteroid fields. Butter smooth. I've made no other changes. Running the latest Nvidia drivers and OR runtime 0.5 with everything to do with the 980Ti at defaults.

I'm a happy bunny!

Me too. Lovin my 980ti. Mine is LOUD though, so I definitely need a new case. Was thinking of the Fractal Design R4 or similar, though I'm all spent out and will have to wait a good while until after the summer hols. I'll just have to keep roll playing until then that the noise is all part of my ship.

>30 is not pretty ok. It is dreadful. You will have to change your view on FPS. At 30 FPS you couldn't play a game in VR for more than 5 minutes.
For me 45 FPS is the sweetspot for regular display gaming.
On DK2 75 FPS (and we are talking 75 FPS worst case) ist a must and for CV1 or Vive it will be 90 FPS.
You cannot go below that or you get judder. The occational drop might be cought up by timewarp but the rest will make for a dreadful vomit inducing experience.

For regular monitor gaming I'm fine with 48 to 75 fps (freesync range of my monitor) and I reach that in ED with everything at max on my 2560x1080 Monitor with 1.5x supersampling (equal to 3840*1620). With 2x supersampling the fps fall too low for me (30 to 40 fps avg) but this would be equal to a resolution of 5120x2160 which won't improve the image noticably over 1.5x supersampling. For the rift it's most important to maintain stable 75 fps and for this I rather use 1x supersampling with most things on max as for my settings there is also no big improvement to quality in changing supersampling to 1.5x over smaa.
