Fix for Supercruise FPS?

[Evir]

Just started playing most of the posts I've read about this issue are from last year, october ish, so I'm assuming editting planet textures isn't required..

Anyway when I get close to systems I'm getting down to about 8 fps average, to as low as 4-6 fps. Soon as I enter supercruise it drops from 60 to 30.

I have a decently powerful rig, saddly not intel but *shrug* it does well at everything else so 4fps isn't acceptable.

Fx6300 @ 4.4ghz (about single threaded performance of a stock i5)
16GB Ram
280x Toxic 3GB (Comparable to Standard Titan)

I understand taht apparently this is an issue in Open play? I mean I was already attempted to be interdicted once at 5 fps >-> idk how I hit escape vector lol but I somehow did, its absolutely ruining my gameplay tho.

I have a 7970(your card is just a rebadge of it) The only place I have "issues" in Open is in the heavily populated "Starter Systems" I went thru LHS 3447 last night and it was an absolute slide show.

Alright figured was something like this

I have the same problem, Have an MSI GT60 with a GeForce GTX870M video card. Only happens when there are 15+ contacts on the radar, LHS 3447 is notorious for it! Quite a few folks experience this problem.

Seeing exactly the same symptoms. Also bad in some RES sites. No issues in Solo mode

I've read so many threads, etc... is there a solution for this? To get 60 FPS everywhere, but in certain places (supercruise / inter-planetary flight) I drop to 15-20 every time.

Is there a fix? Or is it a question of them fixing some server issue that's causing delays and somehow affecting FPS? Cause when it drops to 20 fps, I can put graphics to low, and it stays at around 20 FPS (maybe 22 instead).

I've even checked CPU / GPU usage, and I'm well under capping.

Anyhow, great game, really. One of my favs. I really wish this issue could be resolved, I just love this game, and it's the one thing that really makes it often unplayable.

nVidia has always issues with GeForce drivers. Try downloading another one. It fixed the problem for a lot of players.

[Indique]

nope, several drivers tried, and, I have AMD :P From what I'm reading, it has to do with server load (the more ppl in the area you're flying, the lower the FPS) as stated above, and nothing can be done about it. I'm just wondering if someone has found a fix for it somehow. If it's server issues, then I do hope they fix it soon. Still a great game.

That's a different problem. With a lot of players also a lot of NPCs per player spawn. Up to a point the network can't handle them anymore and all of their positions (i had ~35 NPCs once in SC... lagged like hell).... sucks... I know. There shouldn't be more NPCs just because there are more players.

So the issue is the amount of players and NPCs within a system that is slowing down the system?

try go into you "Catalyst Control Center" and go "properties" of "My digital flat panel" and enable BOTH "GPU up-scaling" and "virtual super resolution". i knew its sounds weird but works, especially for Win10 drivers. next go to "3D applications seetings"locate and add your EliteDangerous32.exe into list and tweak it. disable "surface format optimisation" and set 'testure filtering" to "high quality" and also try play with both V-Sync Off or disabling Tripple-Buffering for OpenGL appz.

[PlanetRoq]

thanks brbrbr, I'll try that.

[Askania]

I get that Im a laptop with a gtx720m

[TobyKeith420]

i have 2 elitedangerous32.exe's, which one do i use? one is 9 minutes older than the other one

[CaptainKINGPIN]

I'd say file a ticket with frontier support, see what they suggest to fix you issues. I personally have never had any fps issues with elite. and i only run a 1gb gtx 650

[brbrbr]

try both.
if nothing above helps - time to go harder.
prequel: some motherboards and gpus firmware(and intel chipsets on hardware level) - had buggy implementations of both MSI, APIC, and HPTE so to ensure proper/reliable/consistent response - you had to disable its on operating system level atleast.
to do so - go into elevated command prompt(run cmd.exe under "run as admin") and type things like:
bcdedit/set disabledynamictick yes
bcdedit/set useplatformtick yes
bcdedit/set useplatformclock yes
bcdedit/set tscsyncpolicy Enhanced

also if you motherboard was REALLY old or buggy - you may try(but only IF nothing above help. cuz expend even more CPU performance/overhead)
bcdedit/set uselegacyapicmode yes
bcdedit/set x2apicpolicy yes

if you CPU didn't support AVX - you also may try
bcdedit/set xsavedisable yes but its slowdown CPU even more.

also for security purposes - always good to have other things here, like
bcdedit/set disableelamdrivers no
bcdedit/set nointegritychecks no
bcdedit/set testsigning yes
bcdedit/set nx alwayson
(unless you use extremely buggy software, compatible with, which is suggest you remove and not use)
bcdedit/set debug no
bcdedit/set bootdebug no
64 bit systems owners may safely enforce PAE by using
bcdedit/set pae ForceEnable
also if you didn't use Hyper-V (or didn't even know what it is) you may safely use this

bcdedit/set hypervisorlaunchtype off
bcdedit/set hypervisordebug no


and finally if you like old-fashioned recovery menu, which responds to F8 key(its actually customisable, but nvm ;) then type this
bcdedit/set bootmenupolicy Legacy


also try set "Win32PrioritySeparation" to 28(Hex) in you registry to ensure uniform scheduling.
turn "DisablePagingExecutive" key to "1" and do some others tweaks, maybe.
personally i wouldn't advise messing with csrss.exe options but other things like
changing "SystemResponsiveness" to "10"(Dec)from stock "20"
and "NetworkThrottlingIndex" to "ffffffff"(Hex) to reduce netflow throttling(would help too, along with disabling nagle and LSOffload).
