So I just bought odyssey and it runs ultra at 30fps solid but the textures models and objects have like rough eges or look compleatly broken.
PC specs: AMD R9 270x 4gb; Intel Core I5-4460 3.20GHz; 8gb ram
Can it be fixed without getting a new gpu?

the R9 270x is below system requirements.

The official minimum is a R9 280x.

But don't bother with the official minimum. Any GPU will less than 8 GB VRAM will have issues with texture memory starvation or get 'busy' with constant texture loading and unloading.

8 GB RAM is the official minimum, yes, but 16 or more is required because you need an overhead for the OS itself.

Just replacing the GPU won't be enough. You need a complete new system for the expansion which is optimized very, very badly.

As mentioned VRAM is pretty low for Odyssey and that is further compounded by a relative lack of system memory.

The game has gotten a bit lighter on memory usage, but you're probably going to need near minimum settings in most areas.

FYI I run Odyssey at max settings with a RTX 2060 (6GB) Ryzen 7 4800H laptop (16GB), it is flawless 95% of the time.
From time to time (the remaining 5%), a texture does not load properly, or the FPS drops quite a bit but it stays a minor annoyance.
For laptops I believe it is close to the minimal spec to have a nice experience (it sure can run on older hardware, with lower settings)
