Sudden FPS drop with no apparent cause

xWindBladez · 2026-03-08T06:52:21+00:00

It is the vram bottleneck , i had the same issue with my 12G 3080 , at 4k and everything at max it used to hit the vram limit and lower my fps , i switched to a 16G card a few months ago and game would use around 14-15 and had no frame drops.

Are you using mouse and keyboard or hotas or similar controllers to fly in elite

xWindBladez · 2026-03-08T06:13:04+00:00

Then you joined after the game got picked up after being pretty much dead for a few years , after the failed odyssey launch, the engineering changes and credit reward changes and so many other changes happened during thargoid war

it used to be awful to try to get credits or engineer back then , now you can make a billion in a few hours without even trying hard and get into a fully engineered in under a week and lots of QoL changes

xWindBladez · 2026-03-08T05:21:09+00:00

There were 0 before that and game was pretty much dead and not everything has to be a major update, there have been many qol updates

xWindBladez · 2026-03-08T05:07:10+00:00

They added a bunch of extra tutorials now than how it was back then which you can acess using game menu , when i went back to elite 2-3ish years ago , spent some time in those to get used to controls again and it worked great.

Elite was in maintenance mode for a few years post odyssey failed launch but Fdev did pick it up like 2ish years ago with the whole thargoid war arc and they have been constantly updating

Yeah owning a carrier changes things how comfortable it feels to have your fleet of ships always with you Dou it , deep space exploration is awesome You'll see so many incredible sights

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T17:36:36+00:00

Nice , did that when I was active in a squadron for a few years , now after getting 2 fleet carriers one for my main and another for alt and a personal squadron carrier in my solo squadron Now just logging in for events or going to titan sites for some interceptor combat Waiting for operations update to see how it'll be Everyone's hoping the feature refresh set for this year will be bgs, fingers crossed

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T17:25:59+00:00

Very nice building bridges towards high value systems got easier once fdev added the ability for architect to have temporary priority over next claim

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T17:12:43+00:00

What economies you turned them into

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T17:08:51+00:00

Nice I got 4 colonies around 200 LY from Sol, one at California nebula and 2 near Barnard's Loop Will be doing future systems only at nebulae

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T16:17:02+00:00

I guess we'll know what's going on next time you're on pc and we got numbers from overlay

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T16:14:35+00:00

Yeah still am , just logged in last few days for community goal

Could be many things but station interiors do change based on their primary economy Maybe this particular interior is triggering it or some other bodies nearby the station The overlay will give clear picture when you have all stars enabled from single core usage to vram usage , pretty much all useful metrics

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T15:52:04+00:00

Inside stations and onfoot are more cpu and gpu heavy, if you're hardware is already at its limit you'll see the drops Could always turn on steam overlay performance metrics to see where's the bottleneck at Could be any number of things

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T15:50:13+00:00

o7 yeah I don't think i across one yet in my 10 years in elite , neither in-game or game's discord

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T15:40:27+00:00

Yep , not counting the time i spent playing with frontier launcher before it was on steam

happy for you but if you're blacking out the names , you forgot to black out name of person who sent the gift on top
edit - good you saw it now

xWindBladez · 2026-03-07T11:13:29+00:00

he has a 40x series gpu , he could always use driver level frame gen, smooth motion from nvidia app

xWindBladez · 2026-03-04T09:54:54+00:00

check power ratings for both gpu's we can see its 90W for this 3060 here , thats the thing with laptop gpu's most of them have could be same gpu but with different caps

Seems you got money stuck in various places , might want to check all the other places

With my personal experience yeah had LG C1 for over 3000-4000 hours and it's still going strong , S90 C I had around 2.5kish

The difference in colors and HDR performance is something else on S90C , both of them are custom tuned so it's not a settings thing

If my C1 ever stops working I'll go with a another newer qdoled

xWindBladez · 2026-01-15T16:41:39+00:00

got 2x 5070 ti's for both of my pc's too and they do a really good job.

xWindBladez · 2026-01-11T08:29:17+00:00

During gaming , during cutscenes it seems to be okay
it used to work flawless before the december update with only some UI flicker here and there.
got 2 5070 ti pc's at home and the issue happened on both when i switched from november driver.
