Elite Dangerous: System Requirements for Optimal Play

Developers of computer games are not asleep and every year pleases gamers with projects in various settings. And since 2014, all those who have long dreamed to go on a journey to distant star systems, explore the boundless outer space, should try a project called Elite Dangerous. The system requirements of the game will need to know everyone who decided to board a spaceship.

What do you need to play at minimum settings?

In order to immerse yourself in the exciting game world of fictional, and perhaps, existing worlds, planets and spaces, your computer must meet the minimum conditions:

1. The preinstalled operating system is "Seven" and later versions.
2. The processor with the presence of 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 memory of the video card can not 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 a multi-user mode in the game Elite Dangerous, the system requirements require to acquire a broadband mobile Internet connection. If you go online through a modem, then do not count on stable gameplay. The average FPS with the "iron", hardly meeting the requirements, will be at the level of 18-24 frames per second. If you consider this and the low speed, then it will be almost impossible to play in the network mode.

For a comfortable and pleasant looking game

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

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

If for the Elite Dangerous game the system requirements on the PC presented above are met, 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 apply to all add-ons to the game: Wings, Powerplay, CQC and Horizons.

Touch the vast spaces

Space simulator does not stand still and develops day by day. From the very beginning, the developers planned to give players the opportunity to immerse themselves in the vast outer space and feel themselves as a pilot of the future spacecraft.

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

1. Only 64-bit versions of operating systems.
2. The processor with the presence of four cores from Intel version Core i7-3770K or FX-4350 from the manufacturer AMD with a clock frequency of not less than 3.5 and 4.3 GHz, respectively.
3. RAM of at least 16 gigabytes.
4. The video card is only from the manufacturer NVIDIA generation GeForce GTX 980 with a memory of 4 gigabytes.
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 the glasses and helmets for complete immersion in virtual reality. Judging from this, the developers are not happy with the Elite Dangerous system requirements, and want to tighten them, but make a project that is not distinguishable from reality.

Flight Control

For the game you need to have a keyboard and mouse - this will be enough to get the "standard" game fun. The control over the ship is also welcome with the help of the gamepad, but in order to plunge into the atmosphere of the project, it is better to acquire a joystick.

Dodge the targeted shells, wreckage of damaged spaceships and asteroids with a joystick will be much easier and more interesting. If you buy it for the game Elite Dangerous, the system requirements of the operating system will not make you resent - you will enjoy, despite the low level schedule.
