Performance loss over time - Elite Dangerous was created by rootsrat
First post here, so hello everyone.
I have created a ReShade preset for Elite Dangerous and each game session after a while the game performance drops. The drop is ALWAYS during the hyperspace jump, which effectively is a loading screen.
The lowest FPS I get is always around 70 (usually more though!). After entering the hyperspace (which is camouflaged loading screen), there is always a kind of single stutter or a even a short (0.5 - 1 second) pause when my FPS drops to about 30, then the sequence (loading) resumes with normal FPS. However after a few of those hyperspace jumps the FPS doesn't go back up to normal values after the short pause, but instead stays around 50 and when I exit the hyperspace (the new star system loads up), the game performance is degraded, FPS stays around 50 and the game kind of micro-stutters. I have had exactly same issue with a different preset that have used a lot more effects than mine and with that one my FPS would drop to 30 instead of 50 and then the following micro-stutter was very evident, the game almost played in slow motion kind of a thing. The only solution is to restart the game.
My system specs:
Operating System
Windows 10 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i5 4590 @ 3.30GHz
RAM
Corsair Vengeance LP 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz
Motherboard
MSI Z87-G45 GAMING
Displays
Acer acer XB270HU (2560x1440@144Hz)
AH191 (1440x900@60Hz)
Graphics
ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 Strix 4 GB VRAM (OC GPU 1400 MHz)
Storage
256 GB Samsung SSD 850 PRO (SSD) x2
59 GB SAMSUNG SSD 830 Series (SSD)
1.5 TB Seagate ST31500341AS (HDD)
3 TB WD My Cloud (HDD)
Optical Drives
LG BH16NS40 Blu-Ray RW SATA (Internal)
Audio
Realtek High Definition Audio (mobo chip)
Sound Blaster Tactic3D Wrath USB Sound Card (headset only)
Peripherals
Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS X
Corsair K70 RGB Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G9 Laser Mouse
Sound Blaster Tactic3D Wrath Wireless Headset
TrackIR 5 + IR Clip
My preset uses the following shaders from SweetFX suite: Levels, Liftgammagain, Tonemap, Vibrance, Curves, Vignette, Lumasharpen and SMAA, and also GemFX Bloom. All values are within boundaries of Mediator sliders. I'm using the latest version of ReShade, as per 15/03.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
