Throttling perhaps overheating issue ?

My 8700K is lapped and delidded and never goes above 40degC. And my GPU hits 2150MHz and doesnā€™t go above 60. So no, I donā€™t think so. Did you read what I said? CPU usage and GPU usage are the same. Itā€™s the file/settings

44

I just read and quoted the bit where yous said after 10 minutes playing that gpu usage dropped and the screen would stutter, thatā€™s just a fairly typical symptom of overheating which Iā€™ve experienced myself. Not saying thatā€™s the problem just a suggestion, your GPU doesnā€™t have to get extremely hot to overheat, if thereā€™s a damaged part they can start to fail at low temperatures as well.

If I over clock to much Elite stutters and even locks up, no other games I have do this, its very strange, :thinking:

I can play Witcher 3 at max settings with no issues

The only thing I changed back is the file. May need more work

Your GPU might be throttling down (reducing clock rate) to avoid overheating.

I suggest that you verify that your case fans are running smoothly and that vents are clear of dust. I clean my case and fans every few months, as regular maintenance.

Thatā€™s not code, only configuration setting overrides. One or more of those settings is too high for your system to perform well. Have you tried what I previously suggested? https://community.openmr.ai/t/elite-dangerous-setup-guide-lets-make-it-dark-again/13334/37?u=neal_white_iii

settings from pastebin only consume video ram - probably his video ram is OC too highā€¦

Are you both using these settings on your Pimax?

If so, whatā€™s your GPU settings? Iā€™m going to try these settings again and see if reducing my OC helps. I doubt it

Since Today Iā€™m using Asus RTX 2080 TI Strix Gaming OC, I was able to reproduced your issue , ED hang or stutter when I had OC 2150~2100 mhz . I was very close to star when it happens, lowering OC to 2040 Mhz helps me but still temps was high like 74 Celsius . I suggest you to tweak your OC, voltage , power plan and fan RPMs & use fpsVr app , you will see your temps at overlay during game session.
Now Iā€™m pretty sure that this issue is related with high brightness and saturation ratio , thatā€™s why we need to be careful with our OC values.

More than happy to eat humble pie if it works. Iā€™ll be testing over the next week

Yes i had the sharp line problem in the galactic plane on my VivePro. Fixed it by upping galaxy textures to 4K in the graphicsconfigurationoverride.xml

I donā€™t have the Pimax yet but I tried your settings with my Vive and am very impressed. Result was so good I wondered why I was waiting for a Pimax when my Vive can look and play this good!

Also tried your Assetto setting, successfully as well I might add. Good job! :grin:

I reduced my card OC. It has really helped. I also took SOME of your settings and applied them. Thanks CMDR

Hi Yata_PL

Just to add my voice as wellā€¦thanks for the settings work. I have also taken some of your settings to my 1080ti rig and its sharpened everything up considerably from the defaults I started with. Iā€™ve left the 3.3 haze and stuff in, as Iā€™m weird and like them :slight_smile:

I wonder if you have also come across the effect/bug where if you are close to a star and its in your left or right eye it causes that panel to ā€œauto-dimā€ and mismatches the two causing an effect like you have one lens of sunglasses over one eye and the other with none? Iā€™ve reported the bug to Frontier as it appears to be in their code rather than Pimaxā€™s, but Iā€™m surprised more havenā€™t seen this (its also been reported on the Rift).

I recall somebody (maybe it was youā€¦:7) made a bug report about that during beta. Looks like each camera is dealt with separately, so that when yawing towards the bright light source, the close eye crosses the 90Ā°-ish threshold where either the tonemapping curve, or the dimming feature of the ship canopy kicks in (EDIT: ā€¦slightly ahead of the far one - maybe one should finish a sentence, if one have begun it :P)ā€¦ :7
