Elite is amazing in 4K

Postby smartroad » Sat Aug 19, 2017 9:27 am

I have just upgraded my 3 21" HD monitors (getting close to 6/7 years old) to a couple of 27" 4K monitors from LG. Just played ED and it is AMAZING in 4K! My GTX1080 copes quite well with a couple of settings tweaked from "high" hitting a near constant 60FPS (max of the monitors).

I have to admit, the game does an excellent job expanding out into such high resolutions. The HUD is crystal clear and the textures scale really well.

I upgraded last year and as you say it is just breathtaking how good it looks, I am so glad I went 4k and not VR as I was torn between the 2 for a while.
I still notice little details now when playing, little graphical touches that you just don't see at lower resolutions.
