What Rig Do You Play ED(H) On?

Postby Myrm » Sun Jun 05, 2016 7:19 am

Hi.

I'm interested in what rigs you play ED(H) on.

Here's mine:

(It's a custom built labtop)


Octane Series 17.3" Matte Full HD IPS LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Intel Core i7 Quad Core i7-6700k (4.00GHz) 8MB Cache
64GB HyperX IMPACT 2133MHz Sodium DDR4 (4x 16GB) RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 980 Desktop - 8.0GB DDR5 Video RAM
960 HyperX SAVAGE 2.5" SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 560MB/sR | 530MB/sW)
750GB WD BLACK 2.5" WD7500BPKX, SATA 6b/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm)
Genuine Windows 10 Home-64 bit Pro

With graphics settings on as high as they can go I get 75 FPS during play.

I'm playing on an Asus N750jv.
I replaced the BD Drive with a 440GB SSD though.

This is whats currently in the Laptop:

CPU: Intel i7-4700HQ @2.4GHz(up to 3.27GHz in overclocked mode)
RAM: 8GB DDR3 Stock Ram(Kingston iirc)
GPU's: Intel onboard, Nvidia GT 750m
Main: 440GB Sandisk SSD
Secondary: Stock 1TB Seagate HDD


Game probably runs on 30 fps and about 20 when I just look at a planet.
Loadingtimes are long which is weird since I'm loading th game from the SSD(probably the GPU that takes so long)

I wish I had enough money to buy something better ;-;
Sad that building one myself isn't an option because no one seems to have a QWERTZ keyboard option.

If anyone knows a build your own Laptop site that has QWERTZ keyboards available please tell me.


EDIT: Found one. Costs a lot though.

Put it this way, I don't even have an 'i' in front of my processor number and 8GB is the most my MB will take.

That said I have a ASUS GTX970 fitted and still get a constant 60fps with nearly all setting maxed out or on High. On planets I get 53 to 60fps with max settings.

With a decent GPU ED:H is very forgiving.

I have software on my labtop that allows me to overclock my CPU, but I'm too scared to do it in case it breaks my CPU.

Hmm, I think most of my rig is about 6 years old

i7 2600k (running a slight overclock)
8 Gb memory (considering adding to this, but I've not noticed any problems)
GTX 970 doing the graphics
There a small SSD and a normal HD in there somewhere
2 monitors, a 2560 x 1080 28" main screen and a 1920 x 1080 second screen
Windows 10.

Seeing a fairly constant 60hz framerate.

I don't chance it in notebooks. But then again, overclocking, especially overvolting -- beyond the tested rating -- usually reduces the life of any CPU any way, so I stopped doing it long ago. I've seen the effects under a SEM.

Those old SandyBridge (ix-2xxx) generation products are still very potent. I originally ran on a i5-2500K with a GTX 660Ti 2GiB.

I've posted in a couple of threads here, as I've been Mini-ITX almost exclusively for the past decade. Probably one of the more involved ones with info and pics is here:

Main system: i7-5820k, 980Ti, 16 GB, Windows 10 (blech)
Periphs: Logitech K520/M310 wireless desktop, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick, Steelseries Sibera 800 headset, NEC P232W
Tools: Captain's Log, EDDiscovery. Tried Voice Attack, but got nowhere, must be the accent (not a native speaker).

With ultra details, maximum FOV, about 150 FPS in SC in a populated system, up to 300 FPS when exploring unpoluated systems. Drops to about 100-120 FPS if there is a lot of action (currently in the Low CZ to test). Haven't tried planetary with 2.1 yet.

PS: And a rather repressive firewall between the gaming rig and the rest of my home network: The Windows 10 box may get DNS and time from the main router (FreeBSD 10.x) and talk to the internet via NAT. And that's it :evil: Data exchange only via USB thumbdrive
