I have a Ryzen 7 CPU with 16 gb ram the problem is I have a Entry level Radeon GPU with 2gb VR. Is anybody running close to what I have in a GPU while running EDProfiler? I heard somewhere that you should have around 8gb VR to be more effective.

Not running Odyssey....Only Horizons
That's simply not true, official requirement be damned. I'm playing on an ancient GT 710 2gb GPU, in Odyssey.
I've been banging out on-foot High CZs for the war in the new anarchy walmart for the last week, I have over a billion in combat bonds from blasting Thargoids, and it's all been quite enjoyable to me.
To the OP, I'm not sure what the actual question is. I'm running a similiar GPU to you, but I've never used ED-Profiler, I assumed that tool was for people who needed two different swappable graphics configs, one for VR and one for normal. So what are you asking exactly?
I just want to fine tune my graphic options in the game itself to get the most out of my card. Thought that EDProfiler might help in doing that. Hope that makes sense. db
Sorry Shockbait...got the quote backwards....my bad
Ah okay I understand. When I get home, I can download ED-Profiler and screenshot my settings so you'll have some reference.
But the advice I received was to set the preset to "High" and reduce individual settings one at a time until you achieve a playable framerate.
Anti-aliasing and sample quality are of particular interest, as I've found messing with those can give wildly varying performance with other settings still somewhat high.
But unfortunately I'm not the most knowledgeable person about this sort of thing, I just brute forced it out of my willingness to play, there are other people on this forum that understand the techno-babble of what these settings do far better than I.
So this is my low-spec setup, the resolution is actually the native res of my 13 year old Orion flatscreen tv. I bumped my res up to the 1920x1080 res I see from your screenshot, and took a serious hit to FPS(visible with CTRL+F in game). This setup averages 23-28 FPS in spaceflight, though can drop to 14-15 docking at large spaceports(Coriolis,Orbis,Ocellus,Planetary City Bases). Outposts, Settlements, Space Installations, Space Conflict Zones, and my fleet carrier I get about 20 fps, which is about the limit for what I would consider tolerable, though I deal with the lag at large stations since they've always been the laggiest part of the game since I started in Horizons anyway.
When I set my res to 1920x1080, I was getting 16-19 fps in spaceflight, and stations dropped to 11. So my advice, if you can't find a good framerate after fiddling with all other settings, maybe try lowering your res, that seems to be the most intensive factor in my setup. When I do on-foot Conflict Zones, I drop my res to the third from lowest, 756x480 or something, its awful, but I don't need to be able to read the screen to shoot people.
Hopefully one of those more knowledgeable people comes along and explains why all of this is wrong, but this is what I found through trying almost every possible combination of settings, would give me the smoothest performance. Also your gpu is AMD and I'm Nvidia, so the fact this works for me might be irrelevant to you.

Thanx for going the extra mile...your the best. Will play with it.
Try to limit FPS outside the game (vsync, refresh limit - 2 options to off). I'm not sure how can you do it on windows, but on Linux it does extra 20% about and adds smoothness to controls. Also set this limit to very high, it seems like game reserves some percentage out of maximum set, so more you set - more left not reserved.
On linux I set 144 outside game limit (instead I had 60 in-game) and it runs times better then before now, board/unboard on carrier does not break mouse move in menus any more as it was.

Hi all, sorry for being lazy and just asking again rather than hunting down the answer but ... I'm just getting back into VR with a new Quest 2 headset and so, for the first time since Odyssey launched, find myself wanting to have two sets of graphics options, one for flatscreen and one for VR.
Q1) Does ED Profiler still work OK with Odyssey?
Q2) Where are all my current in-game Odyssey graphics settings held? (I want to back them up before running ED Profiler also then be able to compare pre ED Profiler settings with post ED Profiler settings to make sure it hasn't messed anything up).

EDProfiler works with odyssey.
However I don't trust it, I do use it I just don't apply. The files are held here:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics
I backup each in new subfolders instead so I manual overwrite when I switch. The 2 files that apply to EDO is:
Custom.4.0.fxcfg
DisplaySettings.xml

Brilliant, thank you - and totally after my own heart re: not 100% trusting it! I'm gonna write a couple of batch files I think to setup for 2D, set up for VR, to swap those files around. I'll probably swap binding files too since I have slightly different 2D/VR bindings (e.g. stuff about looking at panels to open them).
