How is the performance in Odyessey those days ?

[Uriel]

Hi there, commanders.

I haven't played in a while, and now that Odyssey is on sale and below 50% of the normal price, I'm considering getting it. The thing is, I have read so many horror stories about the game's performance that I'm still unsure.

I'm mostly an explorer, so I'm not too worried about flashy lights and combat situations, and I have no intention whatsoever to engage in on-foot combat. The only reason I am even considerin it is that exploring plants with an atmosphere is a nice addition, and the scorpion might be useful when I finally decide to unlock guardian tech.

Now I'm also a VR player. Never had much of an issue in Horizon, but again, I hear VR in Odyssey is a steaming hot mess. Considering that I can't really afford to upgrade my rig in the foreseeable future, it ether wil have to do as is, or I'll have to skip Odyssey entirely.

Just for the record, here's the machine I'm playing on :

- Ryzen 5 2600X (stock frequency, some headroom for overclock according to my tests)
- RTX 2060 Super (stock frequency, overclock untested)
- 16 GB of DDR4 3000 (highest speed this CPU can accept at stock frequency)
- Oculus Quest 2
- Win 10

Last I played I had no issue whatsoever, steady framerate and all that.

What do the OIdyseey experts think ? Yay, or nay ?

I have the same playstyle, but minus VR which I don´t use. Bought Odyssey for the same reason!

Now I am a noob concerning PC components, but I can say that my computer was considered a decent-not-great gaming PC in late 2019 (not made for 4K), and I have no problems.

On a quick side note, as you seem to be interested in the beauty of the galaxy, Alt-F10 will take a high resolution screen shot that should be good even for large prints. This only works in solo mode as it will pause the game for a moment.

I can't get closer to planets without fps drops. But once I land it's pretty stable. I'd rate it 6/10

CZ are still atrocious. Sub 60fps on a 6800xt. Otherwise it's OK for me, but my GPU is way above what's needed.
The issue is NPCs. I have no idea what they did with them, but as soon as you have some on screen, FPS drops. And it get worse if they are actually moving.

For exploration, no issues here. (been out doing guardian/thargoid stuff recently)

The only dip i get atm is in station concourses once in an odd while; not even on-foot CZ has bad performance for me. I realize i'm lucky as not everyone has the same.


Just FYI ftr: any nvidia users should make it a point to set "Latency" in the driverHQ to "Ultra" as it has helped with performance in quite a lot of games.


cheers
