Hi,
Been playing with the DK2 in gamma 1.04 for a bit and trying out features such as mining. Whilst in the past I've always felt that a single GTX970 was sufficient for playing E
( at least with AA and SSAO off with shadows off/low) with occasional judders in some of the more complex stations, mining is a whole different experience.
I tried out mining without the DK2 and suffered pretty poor framerates, but in the DK2 it is seriously unpleasant with constant double vision, juttering and the like. I even tried using the low quality preset, but that seemed to make little difference. Indeed i'm not even sure sli 980's could pull it off as performance is so bad.
So out of interest has anyone else tried mining using the DK2, if so what were your experiences? If you could post you gpu and rough idea of quality settings that would be useful too.
To be specific as i've yet to test tutorials or mining at a extraction point, what i'm testing here is finding a asteroid ring (metal rich) in the system, supercruise too it, then fly to its position (SC drops you out between 60-80 units away, so you have to fly/boost for a good few minutes to reach it). Initially framerate is fine, but as you get closer and asteroids start to appear I start to notice occasional stutters, which get progressively worse to the point where moving ones head around results in double vision.
In addition i've noticed some weirdness whilst testing out mining, such as Voice Attack not working very well and in one session without DK2, where i was alt-tabbing framerates would plummet down to 15fps or less, sometimes going up to 30-45 fps. Wonder if there might be some technical issues with asteroid belts or even memory leak going on as generally performance seems so off. Alas i've nothing to compare it to as I never tried mining in previous betas.
