Gtx 1080 ti Elite Dangerous

That suggests a PSU issue to me - the newer card is more power-hungry, leading to fluctuations in voltage on the CPU rails.

I think a new PSU might be in order.

He already said it was an aggressive overclock of the cpu. Since he dialed back to 4.7, I would think aggressive is a fair assumption and the likely culprit.

Hello all.
Advice please on a 1080 ti purchase to go with my rift. Firstly which aftermarket card is the 1 to get.(currently running a rx580 nitro LE)
Secondly will my i5 4590 seriously bottleneck it or is it capable enough. If I have to upgrade that it will be to a ryzen so are there any issues between the ryzen cpu and the 1080ti gpu?

if you want independet reviews go to http://www.gamersnexus.net

not sure about your i5. Could be a bottleneck but it is not that old, so...

I haven't heard anything about issues with ryzen and 1080Ti

Hello CMDR,

I had an i5 4750k paired up with my 1080 and the difference after going to an i7 7700k is remarkable. It almost completely removed the need for asynchronous reprojection. I haven't changed the visual settings that much, but the boost in FPS is ace
 
NVIDIA 1080 ti Founders Edition - Think of it in terms of using similar settings as a 1080 - then imagine it owning it like a buttery pixel cannon! No it won't do 2 HMD quality - but that's up against the resolution of the headset anyway, diminishing returns. But 90 fps at stations and planet surfaces at around 1.7 with shadows on ultra gives so much presence! Settings to follow.

I'm away from home for work and wont be able to play for a month and half. Waiting for me at home there will be a 1080 TI (went with Asus strix) and a dedicate EKWB waterblock that will go nicely with my actual water cooling system.

Looking forward to play with my Rift with it.
 
This all sounds great... but what FPS did the 1080ti archive in space, in station and on planet surface.

Was it able to push 60FPS at 4k?

[Being the VR thread] Do you mean for a pimax HMD?

Otherwise, 90FPS @ 2160×1200 (1080×1200 per eye) is the maximum
 
I installed an Evga 1080Ti SC2 today, upgraded from a 980Ti, and it's a marked improvement. ASW kicks in quite often in stations and the such, but I have cranked everything up as far as it will go. Planets in particular are a joy now, having ultra shadows makes a big difference.

The Ti allows much better supersampling and in ED that seems to be the ticket for me. If the cpu is holding it back then I don't think it's by mucheque. Waiting for zen 2.....
 
The supersampling level that your card can handle matters a lot, I think.

I just upgraded to a 1080ti yesterday. I had started playing ED in VR with a 970, and then a 1070, and now the 1080ti. I think each jump in performance was similar. I wasn't sure how big of an improvement the 1080ti would be over the 1070, but it was instantly noticeable when I fired it up.

I had the SS/HMDquality settings at 0.65/2.0 on the 1070, and now I have it at 0.85/2.0 on the 1080ti, plus I bumped up the shadows and terrain LOD settings to Ultra (they were "high" on the 1070), and one of the terrain texture/quality settings was previously at medium, and I've moved that up to high. With those tweaks, everything looks better, particularly planets, and the performance is smoother and I'm getting ASW artifacts much less frequently.

Wow. The 1080ti is where it's at.

Can you post your settings? I'm not really seeing a big difference between my 970 and 1080ti.
