Anyone using new 2020 amd drivers and do you get a boost in fps especially on busy wharfs?

Played bit yesterday. Something felt off with the performance. I will look at it better today, because it was hectic game yesterday trying to manage the construction of 8 factories, while keeping an eye on the Xenon invasion.

Was bored tonight so installed multiple drivers and run tests with DDU in between.
Something feels off but cannot be certain as of what.

I will put on google drive the save to try use it yourself.

Pretty busy system with several battles ongoing with hundrends of ships so is CPU heavy.

19.12.3 - 1900/970mv 1780mhz ram. ~55 fps. GPU load 37-45%, core speed between 600-1200Mhz bouncing, GPU power consumption 79W.
20.1.2 - 1900/970mv 1780mhz RAM. ~54fps. GPU load 20-40%, core speed between 340-700Mhz bouncing. GPU power consumption 49W.
(20.1.2 has Vulkan 1.2)

Will definately stick to 20.1.2 as it fixes the Windows 10 transparecy bug which bugged me for some time now

Yes Beta 3.0. Give it a try. My settings are here.

Also I love the new 20.1.2. The ALT+R & overlay actually work now. And gives you full screen super imposure above the game.
Which means I can test settings (undervolts, overclocks) during the start screen which is GPU heavy.
Found that default settings on my 5700XT AE, 2100Mhz, 1200mv, 1750 VRAM - the GPU core is around 1830mhz, consuming 186W, with 76C GPU core temp and 98C junction.
With 1900Mhz, 970mv, 1780 VRAM - GPU core is around 1801-1825Mhz, consuming 156W, with 64C GPU core temp and 76C junction.
Stock fan curve, same FPS and the reference blower.

Any news on the DLC release?

dirtybeatfreak · 26 Feb 2020 at 11:03

There is a stream with a streamer called Writing Bull on the 3rd, where Bernd is going to be there with information. It's in German though and will be subbed in English in a weeks time.

Doesn't look hopeful for the Q1 release so another delay I think

Cheaper than I expected.

On the stream some mentioned the 3.0 and dlc is marked for a march release date but take that with a pinch of salt also expect bugs as usual.

CaptainRAVE · 4 Mar 2020 at 19:43

I’ll buy it on release. Don’t see the point in preordering though.

SkeeterUK · 9 Mar 2020 at 20:11

Oh and there is apparently finally going to be a plot/story added cos so many complained with the march release.

Hopefully a lot more substantial than the current "plot" 1 mission from the boron for the station. lol.
