Elite Dangerous Odyssey vs Horizons on a LOW SPEC SYSTEM - I think you’re gonna need a bigger PC!

Does Odyssey really look better than Horizons? A side by side of Odyssey and Horizons to compare the visuals. Please note that the on-foot sections perform FAR less well than this (but since Horizons has no walking there was nothing to compare). Gamma is set to maximum for both versions of the game. Odyssey is simply a lot darker (to the point that the HUD is hard to read). My system (Acer Aspire V Nitro laptop): Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300HQ CPU @ o/c to GHz Radeon RX 570 ARMOR 8G OC 16 GB system RAM rpm HDD (not SSD) Interestingly, none of the graphics settings significantly impact frames per second other than shadow quality and CPU/GPU are not being fully utilised by Odyssey, unlike Horizons which grabs everything it can get. I get better fps in Horizons if I hook up my eGPU to an external monitor but the same is not true for Odyssey.
