The long-awaited Everspace 2 is finally here for players, and they have been enjoying the gameplay. There is much shooting and discovery to be done as players zoom across galaxies. You must be a master at controlling your ship against several opponents.
There is also a tremendous buy-and-sell system that will enhance your experience in getting resources and collecting currency. Nevertheless, all new games nowadays suffer from performance issues, which is the same as Everspace 2. The following guide will help players understand how to set their FPS correctly to get the best graphics.
Everspace 2: How to get the best FPS and graphics performance
Players familiar with the new games in recent times will know that one of the earliest things to do is switch off V-Sync. This is because keeping V-Sync on fixes the maximum framerate to one of 30, 60, or 120 FPS, based on your system and monitor performance, and will not let it go beyond this.
That is why keeping V-Sync off will be critical in these games. We will also discuss what kind of FPS impact each graphical setting has on your system regarding Everspace 2.
Effects
Low to medium will have 0 FPS, while Medium to High takes 10 FPS. High to Epic costs only 1 FPS. So, the total output of 11 FPS will have a big impact.
Lens Flare
It takes a total of 4 FPS for a medium impact.
Shading
It will cost around 2 FPS, so there will not be much impact.
Shadows
Places with epic shadows will take around 10 FPS, while high places can take up to 7 FPS. Low to Medium places can do it within around 3 FPS, and players are advised to keep overall shadows at Medium for best performance.
Textures
One of the significantly lower impact ones with 1 FPS only.
Volumetrics
A high drainage impact on with Low to Medium taking around 2 FPS, Medium to High around 12 FPS, and High to Epic taking 6 FPS. So, a total outlay of 20 FPS is very high in these circumstances.
SSGI
A high-impact setting with 9 FPS overall.
Anti-Aliasing
A lower category one, which takes only 2 FPS around.
View Distance
Based on location, it can get around 3 FPS.
Players looking for an even finer experience can play around with the V-Sync. You can change it to “Low Latency” mode within the game. Once done, open the Nvidia Control Panel and switch on the Low Latency Mode, Max Framerate (+1 as FPS), and Vertical Sync as Fast or 3D application setting.
Here are the details of the system we tested the settings above on:
- CPU: i7 9700K
- RAM: 32GB Hyper-X Fury 2666 MHz
- Storage: WD Red SA500 2TB M.2 SSD
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B365-F Gaming
- GPU: MSI GamingX Gtx 970
- OS: 2TB Seagate Baracuda HDD (2)
Players can also use the DirectX feature, with the DX12 being the default. You must right-click on Everspace 2 within the Steam Library and choose “Properties.” Type in “-dx12” or “-dx11” under the ‘LAUNCH OPTIONS’ field. Keep V-Sync off, nevertheless.
Thus, that is all the information players will need regarding the FPS/Performance guide of Everspace 2. It can seem like a lot of work in the beginning but once you figure things out, the experience will become a lot smoother.
