Thanks. I watched some of your footage and it looks like you're in better shape than I am at around 35-45 on average, although I do see you also get some excruciating drops and stutters from time to time.
Have you customized any settings or just default Ultra? Does your framerate improve at 1080 or lower resolutions? Desktop or laptop? Overclocking?
I'd like to get to the bottom of this. I would say it's playable but not enjoyable, and I'd expect better on this hardware, especially since during the alpha I found settlement play to be much smoother, and that was on an inferior machine (GTX 1660 Ti, i7-8750).
How I run Odyssey depends on what I intend to do during the session - out doing the tourist bit and visitng new systems I can pretty much set everything to Ultra and be pretty much assured of good performance. Although some of the dense patches of vegetation can drop FPS down, noticably.
If I'm doing combat centric activities I'll drop to mostly high settings (and even use the AMD upscaling set to ultra as it does help) and, bar some of the extraction sites, get around 60 FPS pretty much all of the time.
Yes, there is an improvement in 1080 (I experimented a couple of days ago) but not 4x better! (around double on average, but with exceptions - space does see the best improvement where framerates can be similar to Horizons)
Odyssey is still odd in how it performs, but considerably better in settlements than previously for me, it has a way to go to be close to Horizons performance and stability, but is slowly getting there.
Alpha was 'better' performing in 4k I believe, I do have videos made during the alpha which I really should have another watch of!
During the 'worst' (patch 6 & 7) performing times of Odyssey I would have to run combat in 1440 to get more than 30 FPS, and even then on the extraction settlement scenarios framerates would tank every 20 seconds or so for about 5 seconds (the 'norm' on some was around 5 FPS!)
This is a desktop PC, nothing is overclocked (I gave up squeezing the last drop of performance from my kit a few years back, a few % started to become barely noticable) and currently not even water-cooling but on air (that changes according to mood).
I'll no doubt be streaming again in the near future - with the correct settings for the session - currently there is no way anything settlement / combat related would give 60 FPS in pure Ultra for me. Until Frontier have completed the optimisation of Odyssey it is a case of experimenting for the best combination of settings for purpose, it would be nice to not have to do so, but, currently that isn't an option.
(sorry, a bit of a wall of text!)
