Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

There were some free skins for the Cobra a while back on Black Friday, and those that preordered or were part of Beta got a free decal. But yeah apart from that you have to pay which sucks. :x

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

Did you not pre order or have Beta then? I got a Sol permit when I signed up for Beta but I'm not sure how else you'd get one, probably through Fed rep. Need to get my Cobra back I haven't played properly in ages as I was convinced Gamma was gonna get wiped and since then I've had other games to pla...

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

No don't lock the FPS as you will probably get more out of it. Set everything to the highest settings then gradually reduce them until it is smooth is one option. Or start at the bottom and work your way up. But I would definitely turn vsync off as that's what caps the FPS. But it's all trial and er...

Re: Split: Oolite Headtracking

I tend to keep up to date with how things are going by looking at the branches on github! Unfortunately real life commitments have kept me from being able to play much nowadays but I do try to find the time when possible.

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

There is a massive increase in performance between the GT 620 and the GTX 750Ti:

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

Well it won't be that marginal, the performance increase will in fact be quite good in comparison to your current card: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=1429&cmp[]=1431 However the GT 630 is still going to be inferior to a lot of newer cards, but I suppose it comes down to mon...

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

The GT620 is bound to struggle, I'm afraid. What about this card (the only one I can afford right now) Zotac GT630 Synergy Edition 2GB DDR3 PCI-E Video Card http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/zotac-zotac-gt630-synergy-edition-2gb-ddr3-pci-e-video-card-zt-60403-10h/10229165.aspx?path=99b4bf32c42...

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

I have a GT620M in my laptop and the game seemed ok but when I got my new desktop with a GTX 980 I immediately saw the difference. I'd recommend getting a 700 or 900 series GPU if you're going to upgrade. Also with regards to what Cody said about GFE I don't like it's optimised settings I just use i...

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

I find the best way to optimise performance is to first (if you have a Nvidia card) to let Geforce Experience optimise the settings and then go in and tweak it afterwards. Sometimes it gets it right (it does with my card) but sometimes you just need to adjust a few things slightly. What spec are you...

I try to ignore it but it's hard on my 40" TV not to see it! I don't really want to see the pilot and I'm not looking forward to the whole getting out if the ship thing they have planned. Landing on planets and flying inside the atmosphere of planets on the other hand does sound good! Was one o...

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

So do I, Cody. That's unfair for those who did not participate in the tests. I agree even though I did take part it does seem unfair but then those who did would probably argue they paid extra to yest so they should get a head start but it doesn't matter either way as I'll be playing in Solo Mode! ...
