Anyone that runs Odyssey in a position to try this to see if there is a performance change?

[Element Priest]

Two things, I'm only about halfway through ED re-install, and never really got into Odyssey much, so have no experience performance wise on my machine.

Here's the situation... My Win 7 decided to commit suicide to where it "cannot boot" two days ago, and, as nothing need to recover on partition, I wiped it.
Reinstalled Win 7, Nvidia drivers, all the basic necessary things, started reinstall of ED.

In the meantime, for something to do, reinstalled my MS Flight Simulators. MSFS X now runs 19~28 fps with global settings on Ultra High at 1920x1080, whereas in the past it would be lucky to 8~12 fps.

This on an Athlon IIx4 630 2.8gh, 16 G ram and MSI GTX 1050 ti 4G.

Just Wondering If anyone out there that has poor performance wouldn't mind wiping OS, doing clean OS and Odyssey install to see if performance changes drastically.

I had to reinstall Windows 10 in December 2021 and it had no impact on Odyssey performance.

 

[HRDiagram]

Same here: had to reinstall the OS (and everything else along with it) a couple times in the past year, but I saw no changes in performance for Odyssey.

Unrelated, but isn't it better to run it at Medium or High and actually get more decent FPS?

Looks like it, if the PC only gets those low FPs at ultra, yeah you should be lowering to medium or low graphics settings to get up towards the smooth 60 FPS

Not really achievable with an Athlon II 630 it's a 2009, budget CPU and way below requirements for Oddy. Best bet would be to play it on GeForce Now instead.

There’s a lot of voodoo over on the Microsoft Flight Simulator forum about a reinstalling Windows and the a clean install of the game - no definitive difference in performance or stability there either from what I’ve gathered. I certainly wouldn’t bother with the hassle unless forced to by circumstance.

It's pretty well documented at this point from numerous commanders that lowering graphical settings even to their absolute minimum won't make a huge impact on framerates. Telling people to "just turn their settings down" is kind of ignorant to the ongoing history of Odyssey performance issues.

This is not logically correct. If that were the case, there would be no such settings in the game at all.

My Win 7 decided to commit suicide to where it "cannot boot" two days ago

What the hell, it did that for me as well, two days ago. It was due to a Windows update and felt like Microsoft did this intentionally (though Odyssey was running and got graphical issues, so rather the combination of the two seemed problematic). However, I fixed it. But not by fixing the drive (which cannot be made bootable again due to "access" errors all the time, even using third party tools), but by using another drive to boot the original drive, i.e. basically start-up aid on every boot.

Now, on topic, the perfomance for me at least got rather worse than better since update 5 or so. But unlike many people, I didn't have much of performance issues in the beginning.
Win7, MSI GTX 1660 Ti, 16 GB RAM, i5-2500.

1. I don't know what version of the nvidia drivers for 7, are they the latest?
2. There were tips on the forum to manually fix the files for graphics, did you do that ?

operating systems degrade over time. There comes a time when reinstatement seems like a miracle. It is similar with mobile phones. If the hardware is good, it's a simple option that gives good results, but I do not think that the results of this experience are comparable between different people.

I have a Raizen 5 2500U 16Gb GTX 1050 mobile 4Gb works acceptable for planetary exploration, in settlements is impossible. This CPU is x3 times the performance of yours.

As mentioned above, lately I use GFN (GeForce Now) to be able to see settlements. With my machine & GFN run EDO In Ultra 1080p suplersampling x1.25 fine. In order to use this option, a good error-free line is required, i have fibre with 600MBs symmetrical with low latencie (<29 mls). If you have a good line, I would recommend trying GFN for EDO.

Not so with cell phones. There is usually cheap EMC memory with a limited number of rewrites to it and over time it is written and read worse and worse.

With FS you don't need 60 fps. In the past it was also locked to 30 anyway. It's not the kind of game where you need twitch reflexes, getting the best graphics at 30 is way more fun than meh graphics at 60.

Kinda the same for EDO, minus the combat. If you don't do combat I would just run as close to ultra as possible.

Both. I had a time when I made Cyanogen Custom for mobile (now far away), and I assure you that the installation of applications degraded the system. May not apply today. Also, the installation of controllers over time degrades the system Windows, it's inevitable, and a clean installation solves it.

In general I recommend GFN for most games to people with not-so-great rigs. Especially now that a decent GPU costs as much as a few years subscription go it.

1. According to GeForce Experience, yes.
2. No, do you have a link?

CPU doesn't seem to matter much for Odyssey. With my 11-year-old i5-2500 (but GTX 1660 Ti), I didn't really have issues with on-foot combat zones, except on some updates.

1. wi10 = 512.15
win7 = 473.04
Different versions of the drivers I do not know what tests the Elite.

2. On the contrary. I thought if you changed something by hand, I wanted to offer you to clear these settings, because in my opinion FSR on nvidia additionally loads the main CPU and not the GPU.

 

[Dragsham]

Had to do a fresh install of elite oddity onto a new ssd.
Still no difference at all in terms of performance

 

[Morbad]

Unless something is broken, reinstalling the OS or the game shouldn't do anything to performance.

This is not logically correct. If that were the case, there would be no such settings in the game at all.

Graphics settings are a big deal, if you are GPU limited.

If you aren't GPU limited, they don't do anything to frame rate.

CPU is a huge deal for Odyssey performance once you approach a 60+ fps target in settlements/CZs.
