Graphical settings, and their impact

****V-Sync, turn it off! - It prevents screen-tearing - Always the first thing to go in my games, if you ever want more frames. It locks your max framerate to 30,60,120+ FPS (Depending on the game tech and monitor Refresh Rate. (Usually 30 FPS, 1/2 or 2/3 of your R.R.)). No changes will make your FPS go past this limit, without first turning V-Sync off or using a V-Sync mode (like Tripple Buffering) to increase the limited FPS a bit.

- Patch 0.4.16428

Ordered by FPS impact.

Volumetrics: Extreme impact. Depending on location.
Low->Medium: ~2 FPS
Medium->High: 12 FPS
High->Epic: 6 FPS
Total: 20 FPS.
Shadows: Very variable impact.
Epic: Seems like high shadow areas tank the fps by as much as 10 FPS. Especially hangar.
High: Extreme varience in FPS. As much as 7 FPS.
Low->Medium: Stable ~3 FPS drop in most areas.
Recomended setting: Medium.
Effects: High impact.
Low->Medium: 0 FPS
Medium->High: 10 FPS
High->Epic: ~1 FPS
Total: 11 FPS
Post Processing: High impact.
Low->Medium: ~1 FPS
Medium->High: 4 FPS
High->Epic: 6 FPS
Total: 11 FPS
SSGI: High impact.
9 FPS total.
Lens Flares: Medium impact.
4 FPS total.
View Distance: Low impact. Depending on location.
Only ~3 FPS total.
Anti-Aliasing: Very Low impact.
Only ~2 FPS total.
Shading: Very Low impact.
Only ~2 FPS total.
Textures: Very Low impact.
Only ~1 FPS total.

Chromatic Abberation and Morion Blur are unnoticeable on the graphs.

*FPS values tested on my rig. They may differ on yours.
**Tested in "Alcyone Station" location with MSI Afterburner, while making loops arround the map.
***Values are an avarage of the peaks and bottoms on a graph. In case of almost unnoticeable/uncertain impact I put up the "~" mark.
****Sorry for the bible at the start... People seem to be mad at me making a condensed statement about V-Sync, and not making a somewhat extensive explanation.

[WIP] Running with Nvidia GPU and V-Sync

In the process of acquiring necessary info to complete this section. Here is what i assume was done to achieve GREAT SUCCSESS with V-sync.

Thanks to @ozzySasquatch for this tip!

1. Toggle V-Sync to the "Low-Latency" mode in-game.
2. Go to the Nvidia Control Panel (Not GeForce Experience).
3. Choose if you want to apply it to all apps or only this game.

4. Turn on the following:

Low Latecy Mode - On
Max Framerate - On - [Desired FPS] + 1
Vertical Sync - Fast OR Use the 3D application Setting

Original Comment:

"After experimenting , I've found using the low-latency v-sync setting combined with FreeSync in the NVidia control panel, with the max frames set 1 fps below the target refresh rate (165hz) gives by far the smoothest experience with no tearing and minimal input delay."

Testing rig

A very modest, low-medium end PC.

GPU: MSI GamingX Gtx 970 - STILL waiting for 3080's prices to be reasonable OR IN STOCK! >:(
CPU: i7 9700k
Game storage: WD Red SA500 2TB M.2 SSD
RAM: 32GB Hyper-X Fury 2666 MHz (Although 16 GB of this I use as Ram Cache)
OS: 2x2TB Seagate Baracuda HDD (Raid 0)
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B365-F GAMING

Last resort, force DX12 or DX11 API

*I am unsure what API the game uses as default. Earlier it was DX12, then DX11 due to issues, but i suspect, based on the comments section it might be back to DX12 as default.

Try both DX11 and 12 if unsure. Here's how:

Step 1:

Right click on Everspace 2 in the steam library and click on "Properties"
Step 2:

Now type "-dx12" OR "-dx11" without the quotes into the box, as shown on the image.
That's it! Start it up, and hopefully it humms.
Step 3 (Optional): As for any game, I strongly recomend disabling V-Sync. In most cases this caps your FPS to 60, and in some older games to 30. You also get a fair bit of input lag.

*Q2 - 2021 FYI: Game defaults to DX11 API out of the box, for now. TY @Hazzy!

DEV info

In a livestream, Rockfish Studios Community Representative stated 22.01.21 that there are problems with DX12 and framerates. He recomended everyone to switch to DX11 for the time being.

I want to explain to the community how to do it, even though it has already been done in another guide and said often in the forums, but in different context.

Link to the livestream on YouTube. (Link is timestamped to 16:44)

@Pflaster-Rhymes - Thanks for reminding me to add the shadows!

@soulgamer31br - For informing me that DX12 issue seems to be fixed, and V-Sync section needs to be added.

@Hazzy - For informing me about the game running in DX11 by default.

@ozzySasquatch - For some mad tips on running Nvidia cards w/V-Sync in this game.

Thank you for this.

I tried doing as @ozzySasquatch did. There is vertical tearing. It may not be much in the eyes of the rest of you, but to me ANY is unacceptable. I turned V-Synch back on. /shrug

Thanx for the info tho. Better to know than not.

Hahah, lol. It defaults to "Scrubscribe to thread". Maybe that's why?

⛧ $P00KY DA $CARY ⛧ [skaper] 1. feb. 2023 kl. 9.22

Well yeah, that's what i assumed, and already got on here. Under V-SYNC, section. Was really wondering about ingame o.O

Catalyst 1. feb. 2023 kl. 8.09

also, i don't know why i'm getting notifications for a guide i left a shitpost comment on like 3 months ago, lol

Catalyst 1. feb. 2023 kl. 8.07

it's in nvidia control panel, under 3d settings and then global settings you can click a dropdown box for vsync and enable fast mode, which says it has less overall latency, almost as little as having vsync off entirely. honestly i didn't even know that was a thing, can't remember the last time i looked in my control panel, but i'll be trying it out and seeing what's up

Ah, i thought g-sync was the only one bound to your display. Still curious about the ingame v-sync setting he uses o.O

Catalyst 1. feb. 2023 kl. 1.38

freesync / gsync is bound to your display, you can't enable it unless your display supports it

@ozzySasquatch
After adding it, I realised there is no FreeSync in the Nvidia panel for me on my 3080ti o.O. Are you sure FreeSync was not in-game?

I also do not currently have the game installed. And was wondering specifically what the in-game v-sync setting you are running is called, if you could help.

Thanks @ozzySasquatch! I'll quote your technique in the guide. :)
