Elite Dangerous: system requirements for optimal play

The developers of computer games are on the alert and annually delight gamers with projects in various settings. And since 2014, all those who have long dreamed of embarking on a journey to distant stellar systems, exploring endless space, should try a project called Elite Dangerous. The system requirements of the game will need to know everyone who decided to board the spaceship.

What is needed to play at minimum settings?

In order to plunge into the exciting game world of fictional, and possibly existing worlds, planets and space open spaces, your computer must meet the minimum conditions:

1. The pre-installed operating system is Seven and later.
2. A processor with four cores, the clock frequency of each of which is not lower than 2.0 GHz.
3. RAM (RAM) must have at least 4 gigabytes.
4. The video card memory cannot be less than 1 gigabyte.
5. The version of DirectX libraries must be at least eleventh.

Those gamers who want to play in the company of friends or in multiplayer mode the game Elite Dangerous, system requirements oblige to acquire a broadband mobile Internet connection.

If you access the network through a modem, then do not count on a stable gameplay. The average FPS customers with hardware that barely meets the requirements presented will be at around 18-24 frames per second. Given this low speed, it will be virtually impossible to play in network mode.

For a comfortable and pleasant-looking game

To enjoy the gameplay, to see picturesque cosmic landscapes in all its beauty, to go to secluded corners of the Universe without pre-loading screens, your personal computer should have:

1. Pre-installed 64-bit OS of the seventh version or later.
2. Quad-core processor from Intel version of the Core i7-3770K, or from AMD modification FX 4350, or better representatives.
3. Random access memory with at least 8 gigabytes of memory.
4. A game video card with at least 2 GB of memory is better from NVIDIA (GeForce GTX 770), but it will also work with AMD Radeon version R9 280X or later.
5. Additional free hard disk space of at least 7 gigabytes.

If for the game Elite Dangerous the system requirements on the PC presented above are fulfilled, then you can get 30 or more frames per second. But, again, to play with friends or plunge into space battles with hundreds of other players, you will need a stable broadband Internet connection. The same requirements are made by all add-ons for the game: Wings, Powerplay, CQC and Horizons.

Touch the vast spaces

The space simulator does not stand still and is developing day by day. From the very beginning, the developers planned to give players the opportunity to immerse themselves in the vast space and feel in the role of the pilot of the spaceship of the future.

That is why recently the company continued to modernize the game so that gamers could plunge into the world with the help of HTC Vive and Oculus Rift technologies. But not everyone can enjoy it, because the new system requirements for the game Elite Dangerous are as follows:

1. Only 64-bit versions of operating systems.
2. A processor with four cores from Intel version Core i7-3770K or FX-4350 from the manufacturer AMD with a clock frequency of at least 3.5 and 4.3 GHz, respectively.
3. RAM at least 16 gigabytes.
4. The video card is only from the manufacturer NVIDIA generation GeForce GTX 980 with 4 gigabytes of memory.
5. Additional free hard disk space is eight GB.

I must say that such information was published on the network by one of the companies that created glasses and helmets for complete immersion in virtual reality. Judging by this, the developers are unhappy with the system requirements in the Elite Dangerous game and want to tighten them, but to make the project indistinguishable from reality.

Flight management

To play, you must have a keyboard and mouse - this will be enough to get the "standard" pleasure from the game. Control of the ship with the help of a gamepad is also welcome, but in order to plunge headlong into the atmosphere of the project, it is better to get a joystick.

It will be much easier and more interesting to dodge target shells, wreckage of wrecked spaceships and asteroids using the joystick. If you buy it for playing Elite Dangerous, the system requirements of the operating system will not make you indignant - you will enjoy it despite the low-level graphics.
