I've been playing (testing dammit, testing) ED since PB and have had a consistent 40/45 fps in stations and 58/60 everywhere else with every graphic setting on high.
With 2.04 I was down to 13/15 fps in stations and 40/50 fps elsewhere. I upgraded to the latest Cat drivers and am now getting 18/25 in stations but this appears to drop even further dependent on the time I'm in the station, down as low as 11 fps a couple of times which makes undocking kind of interesting. As soon as I leave the station it goes back to 50/60 fps. I've turned the in-game settings down to try to help it out but with no discernible gain.
Anyone know what's going on with this? Is anyone else seeing the same or is it just me?
I'm also experiencing a huge heat draw through the CPU water cooling with the fan going crazy all the time trying to cool it down.
Rig is not the best but has been fine until 2.04: Amd Piledriver 6300 o/c to 3.8ghz. Radeon 7850 1gb. 16 gb 1333mhz ram. 128gb SSD. 24" 1920x1080 HD IPS screen.
I know I'm short on Vram on the card but everything's been good until now. I have now o/c the card which has helped a bit but at the expense of more heat/noise from the system.
I suppose I'm hoping for a, "just do this" reply rather than the dreaded, "buy another graphics card" one
