First value is the allocated memory on the GPU memory (4GB available so almost full, if I enable anisotropic, it will fill up memory immediately), the second value is shared memory.
was there an optimisation pass at all?

That's a lot of shared memory use, and could well be why your GPU utilization was so low.
I also don't understand why there's "shared memory" with the GPU, but there's a lot of things I don't understand about Odyssey.
Thank you for such in depth testing
The driver/WDDM can use system memory for assets that don't fit in local VRAM. Having to wait for that stuff to be accessed over PCI-E is much slower and could explain some of the low frame rate and low GPU utilization you saw.
It's hard to tell how much VRAM something actually needs (vs. what it would like to allocate), but 4GiB is evidently not enough for EDO at the settings you were using.
Well, I don't know. 144fps in space (my screen limit) but in ports / settlements I have like 24 fps which is quite unplayable for combat.
Yes, I have everything on ULTRA, 1.0 supersampling, 1.25, 1.50 doesn't make too much difference performance-wise.
AMD 5900X, 32GB of RAM + 2080 SUPER.
I was expecting something way more playable.
A shame.

As I eluded to earlier, Nvme 2.0 Gen-4 with peak reads of 7,100MB/s and writes of 6,600MB/s seems to help with this bottleneck.
Maybe it's enough that I don't see a drop in fps. I'm happy with EDO. It could be a-lot better in performance no doubt.
i7-8700, GTX-1080TI.
was getting low FPS, then on another post I read that deleting your Graphics config in C:\%LocalAppData%l\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options (Backup in case) which gets rid of old shaders then running EDO and resetting your graphics options. I tried and my FPS doubled., also changing SuperSampling from SSAA to MLAAx4 increased more.
Now running on Ultra @ 2560x1440 with FPS in concourse @ 55-75.

The thing is I wonder the age of some of these installs where people are having massive Frame issues. I wonder what processes they’re running in the back ground, or if they’ve set the gpu to Max performance in the nvidia settings. Because unless there’s some hyperbole from some users, I’m getting decent frame rates from my system ryzen 5 2600 2070 super at 1440p which is 50-70 on planet surfaces and near 200 in space and 45ish in station. I don’t think it’s just FDevs fault. Sure it could be more optimised but it’s launch time etc
One other thing I did was to copy the GraphicsConfiguration.xml from Horizons to Odyssey to see if the gamma and shaders worked better. I'm pleased, but be sure to back up the one in Odyssey before you overwrite it in case it does something bad you don't like.
That's some terrible performance for your rig though.
I was getting 60+fps everywhere with a not-quite-as-good rig although it dipped to 45 in the station after I faffed around with my appearance in the holo-me. All that lipstick is costing frames.
Disk I/O is negligible except for initial loading and major transitions. 'Shared GPU memory' is system memory and doesn't touch any drives. If it did performance would still be horrible because both the GPU's PCI-E link and system memory bandwidth are already far in excess of ~7GiB/s you can get out of the fastest M.2 SSDs in any remotely recent system.
I'll add to the ol' pile. Same here.
I used to play Elite at ultra at 144FPS, in Odyssey it will hover between 25-60 FPS on medium at 1080p in a lot of spots. Deep open space, or open areas devoid of anything, like me, an SRV, and barren wastes will yield about 60-90 average. (it fluctuates a lot, not steady at all like Horizons, which, sat at 144 everywhere) I've considered setting it to low just to maintain 60FPS when I do anything outside of staring into the black... I used to play on ULTRA... at 144. Everywhere.
God forbid I look at a fire and watch my game crash from slowdown, lol. Worst offender is stations. Goes down to the 20's in some places there.
Remember, a 1060 is "recommended" not even minimum. They recommend running this on a 1060.
i7-8700K Overlocked to 5Ghz per core
RTX 2070 Super
32GB of DDR4 RAM at 3200mhz
M.2 NVMe
This. Disk read speeds are pretty negligible to overall performance once initial loading screens are done. Once you're ingame and playing, it's far more dependent on RAM. So no, an old or slow disk drive is not going to cause massive fps fluctuations.
It's even funnier considering they increased the recommended spec from Horizons thinking that would cover their butt. And yet here we are with 20 AND 30-series Nvidia cards getting absolutely blasted with low fps.
Never mind recommended spec. a 1060 should be classified as "the minimum to at least get video output" for Odysey.
What overlay is that?
I can independently confirm, after proceeding methodically through every graphics setting, that changing anti-aliasing to MLAAX4 seems to have had a marked improvement on my framerate at least. It was interesting to read that others have had the same experience. Does MLAAX4 push anti-aliasing onto the CPU?
I can now run at 1440p on High w/ Ultra terrain and get 60 FPS (VSync) in space and ~40 - 50 on the surface - occasionally dipping a little lower in station concourse (but staying above 30). Not brilliant - but MUCH better. I haven't tried a Frontline combat mission yet - but I have done a few scavenger clearances with 15+ NPC's and they were perfectly playable (staying above 30 FPS).
I've switched CPU / motherboard / RAM between the Alpha and release (now on an i9-10850k w/ 32Gb RAM) but I'm stuck on an 1660 Ti for the time being. Before making the MLAAX4 change this evening I was regularly hitting the 22 FPS floor that I was getting on my i5-2500K (with huge overclock) with the i9 - and in 1080p!
What's with the flickering starfield though - it's driving me nuts!
