Title: Rig limitations are clear now
Post by: MahoneyRed on June 07, 2014, 02:34:16 PM
So, with the recent update that allows you to see the two final ships of the Next Great Starship finale, I have met the limits of my gear.

Frame rate was horrible. Artifacting and glitches. Upgrade time is nigh my friends!

BTW, are we supposed to be able to get into those ships yet?

And how about that funding goal?! One day we breach 45 mil, the next day we already 25% to 46 mil.

From what Dave was telling me you can see the ships. But you just cannot get into them at the moment.

Yeah I doubt for the contest that would go all out and render the interiors.

I am actually looking at 290 cards from AMD. They give great performance for cost.

Also, the current state of the game is not optimized at all. People shouldn't feel like running for a Titan any time soon, but it would suck to get a card that doesn't do much even when the game is optimized. It's all so speculative so far, but my current card is a 580. So I am behind and in need of a pick up.

My 770 on High is fluid. Very High is okay but not as smooth

Now, you are on a solo 770, right? I am thinking that an SLI setup may yield better results. Especially with an optimized experience.

One of the devs on the forums said he was running SLI 290 and was not expecting anything near 60 FPS for now.

Solo 770. Yes.

My Alienware M18x is showing it's age.  I have 2 6990m's in crossfire and it is hurting.  Although, there is an sli/crossfire bug now that only lets you use one card.  Hopefully it improves she that gets sorted out.  I still plan on building an sli rig this winter.

mine just keeps crashing.  I think my 580 isn't enough :(

I'm looking into the R9 290 as an upgrade. As I compare stats, it just seems to be a better dollar to performance ratio than Nvidia. JR and his 780 will reign supreme overall, but I think the price point is worth losing about 10 FPS.

Of course, this is according to current bench marks and don't reflect the final game.

Your 580 should be fine!

Most recent update seems to have cost me FPS.  I am getting 40-50 now.

I tried firing it up last night and all it did was try to load and then crashed back to the loader screen.

mine has crashed almost everytime.  I got in twice for about 3-5minutes before I got kicked back.

Nice! What cards are you thinking of running?

I'm waiting to hear more about the 880, but I'm leaning toward 2 of those.  Unless the specs are not not of an improvement over the 780, in which case I'll get a 780ti our the 780 with 6gb of ran.

I've been saving money for a while and this rig will be epic.  It's all planned, just waiting for the gpu's.

The one that is leaked for sure is the luxury variant. A way of role playing and showing people how deep you roll in the credits as you negotiate an agreement while sailing the stars. For sure going to be a cargo and combat model. Possibly a deep exploration model with jump drive, but that may be lumped in with cargo like it is on the freelancer.
