Omg this is priceless...! So funny, literal lols. Shame it's the game we play. Or try toI rebooted now and on 3440x1400 MID im getting 40-50 fps on settlements. then i looked a the fire and it dropped to 15 fps then pc crashed
Boost your graphics performance in Elite Dangerous Odyssey using these simple tricks

I dont belive that any drivers can help. Game have to be fix.
Agreed. Drivers can only do so much; the rest of the issue here is with the game engine itself.
Don't look at it, Marion! Keep your eyes closed!Omg this is priceless...! So funny, literal lols. Shame it's the game we play. Or try to
I might be old school, but this rollout to me, feels a lot like Dust 514. Remember that old?
EVE players wanted to walk around their ships. What they got was an FPS they didn't ask for, and the inability to walk around in said ships. Ultimately, it met it's demise a few years later in 2016 admist mixed reviews, and poor implementation. Players left, and now no one wants to walk around in ships anyway loool
I hope FDev succeeds. I do. The natural progression from being able to walk would certainly have led to leg-based combat.
What I don't get, is why they didn't start small, and first grant folks "you can now walk around inside your ship", then later implement combat. I think a very large number of folks wanted, and expected that option to manifest sooner rather than later. I did.
This all feels like they bit off more than they can chew. Do I play Odyssey's first person shooter when I want to get that gun-in-hand fix? Or do I drop into another game which is ...way... better at FPS... Seriously, I hate Destiny. With a passion. I mean, guys... I 'expletives' really hate it. But that game's gun mechanics are amazing. The frame rates are smooth. The image quality is good. I hate everything else about it. ...there are a lot of games that do FPS better. FDev has quite the challenge ahead of them if they wish to compete for my time in their FPS game. I admire the ambition! Nothing would please me more than a marriage of all my favorite games!
Odyssey's FPS isn't smooth. Looks nothing like other FPS games. No Story. Sadly then, whats the point?
I would have reserved my judgment in this regard, if it was not for FDev releasing the game in this state for which I feel tricked into paying for. It's not fun. Please fix. (Reads Minimum System requirements... oh, hah. Got that covered. Wait... the hell is this 20fps crap?!)

Because of sizes...for example to scan 5 flowers on planet u need to get out/in at least 15 times, 10s per run of Anaconda = 300s = + 5 mins on those in ship walks. While scan itself takes 20s.
SWTOR 1.0 had that - move to hangar, board ship, fly there, exit ship, exit hangar... that thing was making angry everybody, so in 2.0 it had payed teleports.
Now in 6.xx it has just map - open map & click and be teleported.
Ship's walks are fun for a week.

I totally agree. I would enjoy walking around in my ship for... meh, juuuust long enough to explorer it and see a bunch of control panels that don't do anything. And immediately asked for/use the insta-leave option.
Even on the login screen, the performance (or resource usage) of Odyssey vs Horizons is telling... FPS is capped at 120 and of course, on the main menu, FPS shouldn't be an issue, which it isn't here, but the rest does highlight how much more demanding it is, even just on this screen.
I loaded in and left it on the menu screen for 5 mins, for both. Identical graphics settings and new settings in Odyssey as defaults.
Odyssey does look better though.
Note, I realise there are volumetric effects shown on the left in odyssey, they exist in horizons too, above the ship and to the right etc, but less dense and my screenshot doesn't really show it, its there though and is visible in motion. Everything is set to ultra in both.

Maybe I'm imagining it, but I have this memory of something from FDev. Maybe it was a video, maybe a forum post, but it was discussing space legs. The gist was: first we would walk around ships. Then we'd walk around stations... and eventually we'd land on earth-like worlds and go hunting.
So I feel like at some point somebody understood the steps. It's a shame that plan wasn't stuck to.
It's generally widely known by the core community that many of the heavy-hitter game designers that were present in the early days of Elite Dangerous development have long since left, and have largely been replaced by what are essentially interns learning game dev on company hours.
Tried resetting my settings - at first was very cool having 144 fps in space at 4k resolution (default high setting + fidelity set to quality). Landing on the station lead to 9 fps.
Disabling Shader Prep On Startup in ED fixed my FPS as it would be messing with Nv_cache for Nvidia Users, Unsure about AMD Users
Some similar tricks for Update 8. Could be worth a try:

Most of us get reasonable FPS in the hanger, I get 90 at 2k resolution, but in settlements it’s another story: plenty of stuttering with the CPU at max load.
The guy saw improvement in all areas (if still shonky in settlements), so seemed worth a try.
It seemed to make the concourse worse for me - will check settlements later. ofc since one of the steps is 'recreate your settings from scratch' I could well have missed something. Still not convinced most of these suggestions aren't placebo effects, would be nice if fdev gave advice - I still don't even know if I should choose FSR or CAS or whatever
Edit: then again - I have a 1060 like that poster and was already getting FPS like they got after their 'fix' ... <sigh>
Sure, it’s just that the default profiles tend to have shadows set to off and the FSR active, so it makes the FPS better than it really is.
Personally I’m finding CAS with normal upscaling at 0.85 to be a good compromise (with a 2k screen)
