Optimal Radeon Software config for RX 580 8G? (with or without MSI Afterburner?)

[eavolve]

G'day commanders.

While the recommended GPU requirements include the AMD Radeon RX 580 8G, I am having trouble finding details on the optimal settings for the Radeon software and MSI Afterburner with this card for use with ED:Odyssey.

Do we know the config that F-Dev used to get the best in-game performance? Can this information be found anywhere?

With so many configuration options, I think it would be nice to be advised of the configuration used to enable the best performance on this as well as the other recommended (and minimum recommended) hardware combinations.

If it is listed in detail somewhere then can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance and o7.

Legitimate answer: I honestly would not concern yourself with optimal settings for Odyssey, considering how broken it is both in terms of performance and gameplay. There are no possible combinations of settings and drivers that would give you acceptable performance.

o7 Commander Teras,

I appreciate you taking the time to respond and at the same time; a) I do not share your opinion and b) no, this is not an answer.

While many people are experiencing issues with Odyssey, I believe that there are still options available to improve game and graphics performance on a technical level that will be of benefit both now and in the future when the issues are eventually ironed out.

I am saddened that the climate in this group has become one of toxicity and negativity and I refuse to jump on the defeatist train with the rest of you.

Call me naive, call it what you will.

I will patiently await a constructive response to my inquiry.

I wish you all the best.

The first computer I built was a 486DX-40. Since then I've built, literally, hundreds of PCs. About 50% of those being "gaming" PCs. I've played just about every PC game you can think of over the past 35 years. I consider myself, personally, responsible for stores adopting "no game return" policies. Believe me when I tell you that you are wasting your time. Not because you have bad hardware but because no hardware is "good enough" at the moment. ED:O is like Crysis. ...for unexplained or unexplainable reasons.

Take this advice or not. It's up to you at this point.

It really isn't a defeatist attitude, it's just that most setting have no bearing on frame rate in certain situations. You have an 8Gb 580, I'm pretty sure that the high preset should work on that card. But you will probably still see frame drops at complex settlements and CZs. But try on that, maybe the normal flight experience at stations and non inhabited planets should normalize.

The only things that are improving the frame rate (by lowering the settings, of course) are: shadows, ambient occlusions and supersampling.
