Odyssey System Requirements on May 19th

[Ydiss]

How many tapes does the expansion come on?

I don't know but when you jump to another system:

It even has the FSD emergency stop coded in. Very advanced.

Giant space hamster

Giant space hamsters were large, muscular, bear-sized rodents bred by gnomes to power their spelljammers by running in wheels.[2] These animals were the size of brown bears, covered in thick fur that was usually colored golden-brown with white underbellies and spots. Despite appearing fat, they...

Or were you thinking of the Miniature Giant Space Hamster?

Miniature giant space hamster

Miniature giant space hamsters, sometimes called giant pygmy space hamsters[3] or simply space hamsters,[1] were one of the many variants of giant space hamsters that could be encountered across different worlds.[2] Very little is known about this particular cryptid, though stories say they tend...

Or were you thinking of the Miniature Giant Space Hamster?

Weren't they in the Odyssey Conflict zones?

Spoiler: I was sure I saw one:

Good question. Im running on a potatoe 1060, so guessing mine will start to be okay over the next few months. Hopefully i can just turn the resolution down to 1080 and still have a go.

It’s actually a misunderstanding regarding resolution, 1080p will give you more FPS to a point, however the sweet spot could be 2k and you could get 40-60 FPS if your cpu is up to it, in EDO I got around 60 FPS in 2k with an old 1080 overclocked.

According to alpha the computer needed to run it smoothly is not available for the masses yet, FDEV tested it on this one.

Cool, the Cray-1 ran at around 160 MIPS, which is about the same as the original Intel Pentium...

Yes, but the cray-1 wins on awesomeness!

For sure - it has its own seats, goddammit!

I recently discovered this on my computer. Normally when I can't run something in 4K, I just drop down to 1080p out of habit. My latest new game forces me to "step through" the resolutions to go from 4K to 1080p, and I noticed how nice 2560x1440 looked on my TV compared to 1080p, so I tried it, and my game ran perfectly smooth at my TV's 60 fps. What surprised me more is how well my TV upscales that resolution to 4K. I just wasn't expecting that. So now I need to go back and try my other games!

One caveat is that most games like RDR2 or Subnautica can trick me into thinking 1440p is just as good as 4K, but a game like Elite probably wouldn't, where you have very high-contrast lines (ships, HUD, etc) against a mostly solid black background most of the time. Elite is a game that I hope I can keep in native 4K.

I wonder if the seats dissipated heat from the CRAY-1 on cold days...

Probably so, since the cooling system was under that ring of seating pads.

I'm just praying my 970 and 16gb ram still has enough gogo juice.

I tried my 970 and 16gb ram in alpha and it was a slideshow unless I lowered a lot of settings to unacceptable levels.

The fear is even after optimization it might not be enough, and without a way to build a new PC without paying scalpers we are stuck.

1920X1080
2560X1440
3840X2160 (4K)

Are all the same aspect ratios, so if you want to downgrade from 4K to test performance you should definitely go to 1440 first. The image will look proper (not stretched/bars) but it will be sharper than 1080p.

They did however get 120 FPS putting Odyssey through a Borg Cube... but I'm guessing not many of us has a spare Borg Cube laying around.

I'm well over 120FPS on my 980 at 1080p with Ultra settings

See I KNEW SOMEONE somewhere had to have Borg Cube home computer. 120 FPS. Good job sir!

I'm hoping this will run it

No chance - that computer is 22 years out of date

 

[CmdrKull]

I'm still confident that it will run on a stock Amiga 1200. The disk swapping is going to be fun though.

With 3,050,240 880k disks, you might want to get an additional external drive. Or do you have one of those fancy high density drives?

 

[Alien]

Commander Thrust from Bradford is saying it performs brilliantly on all devices even low end ones.

After what I saw in the alpha ... I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[LKx]

Can we please get an official word on what the Odyssey system requirements will be on May 19th? It’s only 7 days away now and usually system requirements are disclosed by now.

The steam store page for Odyssey only lists:

• MINIMUM:
  • OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit

What would be the recommended specs to run 4K/ultra on May 19th?

Considering the client split, i don't expect they managed to optimize much what we've seen in the alpha, so i'm pretty sure it won't be on horizons spec they claimed yet (they obviously hope to get there for the console launch).

In alpha, with a i7-6700HQ and a GTX 980M (which should perform a bit worse than a desktop GTX 970) i was running on 1080p downsampled to 0.65x with ultra settings but shadows to low (other ultra settings didn't have much of an impact), and getting around 25-30 fps in most of the worst case scenarios (sometimes something lower, but in a few cases).

I hope that for the release they at least managed to optimize it enough to let me play at supersampling 1x with the same performances, but i'm not so confident in that.

(for comparison with horizons i have 75 fps, vsync limited, on planet surfaces at 1080p full ultra settings)

The alpha, unoptimised in some ways, played perfectly on 1920x1080 on my 1080. FPS was ok.

Modern TVs are truly great at upscaling indeed.
