Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 6

And that is exactly why we need the CAS option back. Because it is designed for that, unlike FSR.

may I ask you, you took these screenshots before or after Update 6 ?
 
Oh FD. You give with one hand then take with the other...

Massive improvements quickly diminished by a couple of dumb decisions ...

The previous AMD setting seemed to work great, but this new one just looks horrible on my screen and makes everything look broken and pixelated. (Tried with all antialiasing and SS settings).

Fortunately we can go back to 'Normal' upscaling. Back on SMAA / X1.5 / Normal and things look crisp again. (1080p screen / 2070 Super GPU), but I've lost some performance. :(

And that 'stealing' timer ... why ?????

Also, are bodies supposed to have shields now? 😂

Well salvage missions aren't working properly. Collected an item from a crash site. Mission didn't update properly despite showing the item in my inventory....Round and round we go again.
 
Tried to play with Update 6. Game stuttered in flight and brought my PCs to its knees...like a literal slideshow, then froze. Kept hearing wierd sounds. Mouse stopped working. Had to hard reboot.
 
Just tried the new patch and for me the frame rate has gone down again in the social spaces. Where my system (AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, 32 GB memory, NVIDIA RTX 3090) would draw between 90 and 110 fps in the Jameson station's social space in Shinrarta Dezhra in patch 4 and between 70 and 90 fps there in patch 5, I now get between 60 and 75 fps there in patch 6!

And it doesn't really seems to matter if I use the highest custom settings or the low setting (at 2560x1440) the performance only slightly improves (at low it hits 80+ at the most).

I've activated NVIDIA's overlay option (which shows more information about the GPU in real time) and captured a screenshot of the values shown. Most importantly the GPU never gets above 50% utilization! Mostly it bounces between 38% and 45%. Now I didn't do this for the previous patches, but it does seem that my GPU is not really being used effectively at the moment.

Just managed to play the Update 6 now. While this new AMD solution is a bandaid, it is a welcome one tbh. I can actually play. Yes it does look worse and no longer crisp, but that might be because they removed the Fidelity CAS thing they added a couple of updates back? I dunno why they removed it though.

Have had a number of crash to desktops, but its also not killing my CPU and GPU anymore.

Settlements and Concourses are still really really bad and get very poor performance in those places (regardless of graphics settings and tweaking and everything else).

A positive one for me as I can actually play Elite again :) But still only at the beginning of the journey!

Please add back the AMD Fidelity FX CAS thingy, while keeping the new AMD FSR thingy!

Onwards and Upwards FDev :)

Many thanks!
