HIS R9 280X iPower IceQ X Turbo Boost Clock 3GB GDDR5 PCI-E DLDVI-I/HDMI/2x Mini DP Graphics Cards H280XQMT3G2M
Will this graphic card run Odyssey? Bought the Alpha but can’t run it with current GC. All help appreciated
- Thread starter Redarrow1124
- Start date
should do but not great as is minimum spec card for odyssey
see https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/odyssey-alpha-pc-specifications-download-time.567935/
and as the alpha is not gpu optimized yet it may well be more demanding
suggestion try a clean reinstallation of latest driver package for the R9 280X
and delete the gpuworktable.xml in your frontier products folder

Concerning the Alpha (which in itself is in an unoptimized state), GPU VRAM seems a bit more important than before. 3 GB VRAM is rather lackluster.
If you need to save up, aim for a GTX 1660 Super or RTX 2060. Both have 6 GB VRAM which is within the recommended specs of the 1060 6 GB but both are better in other specs as well. For the AMD side, the equivalent would be the RX 580, the RX Vega series or the RX 5000 series. All of them have 6 or 8 GB VRAM.
If you want something beefier, i'd recommend buying a complete system instead because scalpers aren't interested in complete systems and the major system manufacturers actually get prioritized in part distribution.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\Products\elite-dangerous-64 or
%localappdata%\Frontier Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64
If you installed it from Steam it's in <Steam directory or library directory>\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64\

You can find the AMD drivers matching your GPU here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/grap...s/amd-radeon-r9-200-series/amd-radeon-r9-280x
That file is in the ED installation directory. If you didn't change it, the default is either
C:\Program Files (x86)\Frontier\Products\elite-dangerous-64 or
%localappdata%\Frontier Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64
