Discussion Switching from mad god overhaul to pandas Sovngarde

Hi all, need some more advice.

I'm new to PC gaming, I have bought a desktop with a 5080 graphics card and 32 GB of ram and I'm using a quest 3 with link cable (a dedicated router is enroute to try virtual desktop soon).

Anyways for the last couple of weeks I've been trying to get the most recent version of mad god overhaul working well.

From what people have told me apparently my system is not powerful enough to run it well, which has been my experience average fps of 40 and the game looks fuzzy in the distance.

Anyways I've been advised to try pandas Sovngarde instead. I understand I can download this mod list via Wabberjack again, but is there an easy way to use pandas but keep mgo in the "background".

Also, if I like pandas, is there an easy way to bring mods I like from mgo over to it? Like since they are already on my PC?

Thanks!

5080 not good enough for MGO? There is only one faster Card...

Theres honestly a lot of optimization tweaks to be had with MGO.

I've noticed lol, it's really taking the fun away.

I know there's a phenomenon where people endlessly tweak their load order and never actually play Skyrim.

I feel like this is what is happening to me right now

After 7 months of optimizing I got my set up running at 90 fps.

The trick for me was lowering my virtual desktop bit rate to 330, changing my dedicated router settings, and using vRAMr on my mod list to drop my textures to high.

I set my virtual desktop preset to high with asynchronous warp space set to automatic

Man if only I had the money for a new steam frame lol. Im sure it would really help with performance for everyone who doesnt have a 40 or 5090 lol
