I also noticed how well the game is performing now, it makes me want to try it in VR again.
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Hotfix 10.01 | 01/02/2022

It's been doable for a while if you have heavy iron for a GPU. I'm running an HP Reverb G2 with a RTX 3080Ti and it looks amazing. At release I had an RTX 3070 and it struggled with anything higher than low, hence the RTX 3080Ti. But it's improved in performance by leaps and bounds, it's definitely worth a look. I'm running most everything on High or Ultra now.
I'm running a AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with a GTX 1660 super I want a RTX 3060 but I have to wait. But my build is doing great for it to be my first gaming PC. I get around 75 to 80 FPS ever since the update.

Ahhhh, nothing like ye ole short sweetness, Sally. Shivers a man’s Timbers that it does.
Going to have to give my Rift S a dust down and see how it performs. Not used it since EDO launch
Agreed, I am now getting more or less the same FPS in space as I did in horizons.
Is this the last hotfix? This is already happening (C2 gimbal beam not firing, no ship kit on the Anaconda).

Why does every PC CMDR reply with this as if I didn't already survive Pre-release on Xbox?
Playing a broken game would be more enjoyable than me NOT playing it all.
Maybe as it is an accurate assessment of the current state of optimisation? If EVERY PC CMDR is saying approximately the same, perhaps it is a reasonable indication that things are less than good?
I suppose if you were prepared to play at 10 FPS or less in low resolution and graphics, the comment could be wrong and you would be ecstatic, on better spec hardware than any of the last generation consoles framerates often hit single digits, although it is possible that the development consoles might claw back some performance.
Let me explain it to you bluntly. EDO at times can bearly runs on a non-potato PC... It is not capable of running on a console in its current state.
It wouldn't just be broken on a console... it would NOT run at all.
Not really true. It works on GTX 1050 from day 1, which is 3% better then PS-4. At 720p and 15-20 fps though.
I am not that much into Frames per second, but even I start to bork when it gets below 20.
I had to abandon a CZ on the weekend because it was doing 1-10 and my PC is NOT a potato.
It isn't always like that... but there are times when it is unplayable on a decent PC.
i7 6700@4.3 1080GTX 16Gb 3440x1440@165Hz. A mix of high/ultra settings and I now hit 50+ FPS in CZ's, this is with 471.96 drivers (they're old) and if you are hitting less then there is a problem with your rig/settings
Counterpoint: It currently does not run at all but at least I could pay for it and own the understanding that it is in fact a plan of theirs to release to console instead of dragging the community through this "Maybe we will and maybe we won't" B.S.
Feel free to continue stealing my agency on the situation though.
Here's how it would work-
FDev release Odyssey.
People play Odyssey.
People realise Odyssey is broken.
People ask for refunds.
FDev find themselves in the same position CDPR were with Cyberpunk.
FDev don't want that. Why do you want that?
The reason I want that is in the post you quoted.
So, you just want to play it regardless of whether it's in a ready state for console and if in the process FDev's reputation gets trashed, that's just too bad?
They survived xbox pre-release and every other iteration of Elite going back to the early 80's.
Don't pretend they're the same as a triple A studio with billions on the line.
