that lock on animation is so obnoxious, its like in 3d movies where something happens to fly towards the screen for no other reason than to remind everyone it's 3d

GTX770. You can grab it for $329. I LOVE mine. I have had zero graphics issues since upgrading.

What kind of performance are people with Tis getting with SMAA?

I coppied r_AntialiasingMode=# into the console and tried numbers 0-10 and there was no difference. Did you do anything else to get AA working?

Nope.
Edit: may just be a placebo effect :/
Well at least downsampling works if that is true.
Thanks very much. The 4GB card sounds good. I might just do it.

Also how did you manage to overclock your 780 that much?

I actually don't know. I have a stock cooler even. Won the silicon lottery perhaps?
EDIT: My fan curve.

Absolutely. If you can afford it, go with the 4 for sure.

Do it! I'm rocking a GTX 770 with 2GB and honestly I feel like the only limiting factor is the VRAM. Runs pretty much everything at ultra @ 1080p above 40fps and I'm sure with more VRAM you could get up to 4K territory easily.

I really, really need a better joystick lol.

People are heavily bitching about Star Citizen being a mouse chaser arcade sim.
The threads over on RSI are exploding with people complaining that mouse control is more accurate for getting shots on target than Joysticks.
Because the mouse controls not only the orientation of the bow of the ship, but also the gimbal's on the weapons, where the Joystick only controls orientation, so people are calling mouse OP and Joystick's suck.
Seems that the suggestion to ctrl-f helps though, it locks your camera control to your orientation.
Will try for myself when I can finally get in, I have been downloading at 320 kb/s all day long.
The default controls are absolute arse, massive massive deadzone and hardly any of the buttons are used.
Looking forward to the coming updates.

HOTAS support is not so good. Might just be my x52 pro, but the deadzones are pretty bad. But it's pretty good on Elite, so I dunno. Also lots of unused buttons. Need to find a profile maybe?
Otherwise, I;m impressed how decently its running on my rig (i5-3570, 660ti).
Looks beautiful.

<3 decoupling so much.
Jesus H. tap-dancing Christ on a popsicle stick, I came home five hours ago and started the damn patcher right away. It's still at it, chugging away at a leisurely 400-600KB/s.
It was hell at work, knowing the game was being deployed - but now that I'm sitting in front of my PC and am helplessly twiddling my thumbs it's even worse. AAAAAGH. Somebody make the pain go away. Post more pics+webm's please.

I do wonder where people get the idea that spacecraft aiming in the future would be controlled with a joystick, and not a far superior aiming device.
Like a mouse.

Oh god it is definitely going to take me a while to figure out how to control these ships. Should I stick with keyboard/mouse or use a 360 pad?

Heh. I know that mouse and keyboard will always be more precise, its just a fact.
What the dev's need to do is to try and ensure that all controls are as equal as possible, with no clear advantages one from the other.
I am gonna try my best with Joystick, despite being a noob with one, just because I want to be used to it when I finally get to use an oculus rift in this game....oh the immersion!

Where are you all getting those low download speeds from? I downloaded the game at 1.8MB/s on a campus network.
Im in the UK, fibre optic cable is nothing more than a fever dream to me.

This game is just too pretty for it's own good:
The performance is better than I thought.
That looks like farscape
. Also the aurora doesn't have an eject so apparently you cannot get out of it for now. I would also like better support for the hotas. I have a crappy one sure but still i would like more than 1/3 of the buttons work. Also i would like more sensitivity to the stick. Still i am totally satisfied with their job. Not the best in communicating the last few days but my hype actually rose after the arena commander module (and it was pretty high to start with).
Now i am thinking ill get elite too when it releases. I missed space sims.
I normally download stuff with 6 MB/s. For this I get 120 KB/s. Clearly their delivery network for Austria is inadequate.Where are you all getting those low download speeds from? I downloaded the game at 1.8MB/s on a campus network.

The same shortsighted buffoons that have been complaining about mouse for the past few months. Mouse controlling flight *and* gimballed weapons at the same time is *not* a good thing for mouse control, it's actually really bad. The only reason why it seems good *now* is because there aren't any Class-1 weapons on the ships, they're all put on class-2 hard points at the moment, with the exception of the Aurora (according to the manual).

Can I eject and/or land with a 300i? The eject button does not work on command for some reason.
That looks like farscape
Well, I don't know how to eject but there is a platform on this map where you can land (landing is a bit tricky though since you have to decouple and strafe down slowly) and get out.
We had some competitive players in the last thread basically said that Joystick controls are useless for multiplayer. Great for single player and from an immersion standpoint, but there is never been a space sim where M/KB wasn't the preferred way to play.

This is...not true. At all. Competitive players in what?
