Huge performance difference between Origins and Odyssey

[Crazybone92]

This is so weird. On my pc, the performance difference of Origins and Odyssey is almost like night and day. Origins runs perfectly on ultra settings in 1080P and resolution scale scaled up to 140%. Stable and high fps almost all the time, the only drops below 60 I'm seeing are in the cities and even then drop doesn't seem to go below 50.

While as Odyssey's performance is close to a disaster. Highly unstable fps, 100% cpu usage in cities, fps drops that go as low as 27-30 in Athens. The only way to get stable fps in that game is to put everything on low or medium and even that doesn't end the high cpu usage. Quite disappointing, considering the fact that I have a high end pc that costed over 2000 euros.

Seriously though, what happened to performance there? This is just bizarre since Origins and Odyssey use the same game engine, and have almost the same system requirements. Odyssey is only slightly higher. Plus I think Odyssey's ultra level textures actually look worse than in Origins.

Odyssey is unoptimized and the map is unnecessarily huge. That's why the textures look bad, the game has to render a huge map. Just like how linear games typically have better graphics than open worlds.

Different landscape.
In origins you dont have much foliage for your GPU to draw. Only sand and palm trees.

Instead of whinging why not look at the dozens of threads on optimization? www.rif.org

Nice troll post there. But no thanks. I've seen enough of that already.

Not trolling (you really need to learn to tell the difference) just calling it like it is from your OP. You complain and that's about it, you don't mention screen res, other hardware, nothing. You just wanted to vent, and I called you on it.

If you want to solve your perf problems then stop bragging about the price of your system and learn to tweak properly. Any game engine has a handful of settings that are the culprits. Find out what they are, don't rely on hardware upgrades to solve your problems, tho if you paid as much as you say maybe you have a K chip and can learn to overclock it...

They have the same game engine so what works for one likely works for the other but search for yourself, I haven't played Odyssey yet so don't have links bookmarked. There are also some important deeper settings within nvidia control panel, but if you are AMD then sad.

TBH. I haven't really noticed a difference between the two games performance wise. Both games run well.

I have rtx 2070 super oc 8gb, ryzen 7 3700x and 32 gb. Should be enought to run Odyssey easily on 1080P resolution but it has some performance issues in some places even if I put everything to medium. On the contrary, Origins runs perfectly with maximum settings at this same resolution.

I have already contacted Ubisoft Support and done everything they asked but nothing has improved performance so far, and support has not been able to locate the source of the problem from my DxDiag and msinfo files.

And sorry for calling you a troll. I get easily agitated when I think someone is trolling me. And sometimes I see trolls even when there are none. That's because I was bullied by certain people for several years.

NP, good luck with your perf woes, but there is likely a solution somewhere online.

Again, look up nvidia control panel settings for the game, I remeber setting max pre-rendered frames to 1 and it really helped. Texture filtering Negative LOD bias to Clamp, threaded optimization to On, Triple buffer to ON, etc...

There may be other tweakss but don't remember which and the website is long gone from my 'history'.
