New GPU Particle System

The best effect is one that doesn't register in the brain as an effect. That applies to more or less all forms of visual art. In my opinion DE understands that and has nailed it with the new particle system and it's default "High" setting.

As an NVIDIA GPU owner I was able to use the previous PhysX based system. To me the PhysX particles were overkill everywhere they were used. Every time they went off it was obvious and screamed tech demo and felt very tacked-on. The new system on high is, in my opinion, pretty much a perfect balance and will only get better with time as they tweak effects and their artists become accustomed to the new tool at their disposal.

Thanks DE, makes the game more enjoyable for me.

To anyone who played Warframe with Physx on its obvious what a massive downgrade the new particles are. 

used both i dont see it please explain then and its not really De's fault nivida stop supporting it

First nvidia doesnt stopping the support its the opposite, they move Physxinto a bigger and better Flex,Physx platform 
Also here are some comparison:

ok so you dont have a bunch of particles ive noticed the particles personally i prefer the new one because i cant remember when but i turned phyx off because it started really bothering my eyes (like kinda blinding me) giving me a major head ache and i have the new ones set to high and i noticed them most the time its alot less hey look at me im a bunch of random particle effects to make the game look more interesting and pretty and im not being blinding so big ups from me so it might be a down grade for you who knows maybe something is interfering with them id give it time 

in my opinion i liked the option of nvidia particles but i didn't  use them after abit since i started getting blinding and head aches from it idk why just did

i like i can actually use the new particles and not get a what felt like a fine point drill to the brain  

but what ever floats your boat man if it makes you quit well i dont want to insult you since its a personal preference thing would get over it be rude in the context im giving it like in the end its one little thing

its quite the opposite of all what you say but hey whatever floats ur boat man, maybe you like downgrades.

Nvidia: blinded me slightly whenever alot of particle intense stuff  and gave me head aches

GPU ones: doesn't bother my eyes that is better since i can actually enjoy these extra particles

might be downgrade to you but its a upgrade from my current position thats all really

I actually kind of expected more of the particle update. Maybe I have to set it to ludicrous or maybe I'm playing the wrong frames but I see literally no difference in comparison to before <w<

I LOVE your name

maybe who knows  were in the closing of the first day of the main line i smell several hotfixs in the future

New gpu particles system is actually great, you can now "push" Pox's cloud away with banshee sonic boom. Last time i checked, it didn't work with PhysX. But the particles have shorter lifespan and less bouncy than old PhysX particles.

Overall it's a good change because now DE have full control over the effect, and maybe we can have fluid simulation in the future for all GPUs.

Completely agree. Thanks for posting the comparison.
