Its at its worse case when exiting the menu back into a demanding field area where the stutter might last a couple of seconds as the clocks go up, having to go from 420mhz up to 1900+. Both modes seem to be one extreme or the other, normal mode (optimal power) seems to only ramp up clocks when utilisation is very high about 90%, this leads to various stutters when I move to an area that has a sudden higher demand on the GPU as there is no headroom to absorb the extra power required and the ramp up is not very aggressive. So on Berseria, I have done play sessions in both modes. My FE card seems to have no issues using adaptive power on the original drivers. There doesn't seem much public info, but this more aggressive ramp up seemed to be what showed up stability issues in some 3080 sku's, so the mode is now gone. Officially the documentation states the only difference between adaptive and optimal power is that optimal power doesn't refresh data that's not on screen, however the observant amongst us would notice it behaves differently on how aggressive the clocks ramp up. I have been doing testing using the following modes.Īdaptive Power (only possible on original ampere drivers). Obviously doing that though you lose full head tracking, so its not really an option.So I have been doing some play testing in Tales of Berseria, this is one of those old games that will let the GPU clocks go right down to 2d levels. I've noticed everything becomes a lot clearer if you block the IR-camera as the colours become unsaturated. I think one other thing that would improve its appearance would be the ability to turn down the in-game colour saturation. Those settings seem to give me the smoothest gameplay.Īll in all I'm pretty pleased that the DK2+GTX770 can run Elite quite well at medium(ish) settings. Modal Draw distance - slider all the way to the left I'm not sure what my frame rates are as I can't see the in-game framerate display when wearing the OR.Īfter playing around with the Elite in-game options I would also recommend the following settings (if thats one of the things you'll be using it for): I only get a little bit of judder inside space stations (and I've heard even that may be fixed in the next updates). I will have an identical CPU/Card combo, so I'm interested to know what performance you get out of E : D with those settings?ĭo you experience judder or dropped frames? Or is it at least 75 FPS most of the time?

I've also customized my primary display refresh rate from the default 60 Hertz to match the DK2's 75 Hertz. Texture filtering - Trilenear optimisation.

Bare in mind I'm trying to get the optimal settings for Elite Dangerous so there's a lot of trial and error going on at the moment. I'm still experimenting with my GTX770 settings.
