DescentBB

Just bought this game the other day on Steam and love it!

However, I had to disable pretty much all of the advanced graphics effects to get a playable frame rate of about 40 fps. Which isn't terrible, but I'd like to be able to turn on at least a few of the effects and still get a playable frame rate. Any particular recommendations?

For reference, I'm using a relatively dated PC containing an Intel Core i7 920, 8GB RAM, and Nvidia GT 730 on Windows 7, at a resolution of 1600x1200.

I had a Geforce 970 4 gig but it died a month ago. Still ran the game fine.

ASUS Z170-P, Core I7-6700K, Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO Universal CPU Cooler, Asus Geforce 1660 6GB GDDR5,
Crucial 16GB (2x8) 2133MHz DDR4, Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5" SATA3 SSD, Western Digital Black 1 TB, ASUS DVD Burner, ASUS 27" Monitor, Fractal Design Define R5 Mid-Tower Case Black, Thermaltake ToughPower Gold 750 Watt Power Supply, Win 10 64Bit

My system is an i9-9900k, 32 gb of 3200 MHz RAM, GTX 1080 8 GB, gigabyte z390 aorus master, corsair obsidian 750D case modified with custom water cooling (optical drive bay removed), 850w seasonic focus plus gold PSU, 1 TB samsung 970 pro SSD, 1 TB samsung 850 pro SSD, 2x 4 TB and 1x 6 TB seagate iron wolf pro HDDs, a 24"/240 Hz 1920x1080 monitor, a 24"/60 Hz 1920x1200 monitor, and a 650 watt surround sound system.

Heyas. I don't think we've met but I think I know you by your music. Lyris, right?

I'm able to run Overload maxed out on the equivalent of an i5; with a GeForce 1060 (6gb); and, I think 12 gb of ram. So this game is not quite as demanding as Krom's specs make it look, if you're on a budget.

I have an i7 4790 with 16GB ram and a GeForce 1050 Ti.
I just have to disable Screen Space Reflections and I can run the game at 1080p 60 fps (a few drops to 50/55fps in certain levels) with everything else maxed out.

Cool, thanks all. Going to be looking into various upgrade options.

Heh that's right, that was a long time ago! I was pretty young back then too, I'm in my mid 30s now.

RX570. Pretty mid range but seems to run the game nicely. Was using an old GTX 750ti when it came out, that was only capable of low detail settings but amazingly had 60 FPS most of the time.

It was good stuff. I managed to save a few of your tracks from the old planetdescent's shutdown and I still listen to them sometimes.

Hunter, even though I can see your image better than on discord here, I still can't tell if you're supposed to be a jackal, a black serval cat, or something entirely different... can't even see your pupils well enough for a hint
Huh... I may be leaning toward the second now that I stumbled on what looks like a bigger copy of the image...

Yep, it's a (rare) melanistic serval captured in Tanzania.
