None of the cores got near 100%. The average was around 50 or so.

So i went ahead and did a mild overclock on my GPU. That gave me about 10 FPS. I sat at about 45 most of the time. In afterburner i did get to 99% GPU usage but not constant, that was just the peak. My CPU however never got above 80% usage so i am not sure that it is my CPU throttling me. The GPU stayed around 80% most of the time. Again temps were perfectly fine too. I am just at a loss at this point. PD is set at 1 and the supersampling in steam vr is set at 100%. Again, its playable now and even enjoyable but still not where i would like it but maybe when i upgrade the CPU in the fall i will see improvement. Thanks again for everyone's help

Thats good advice, i will monitor the GPU to make sure its running 100% Well i bought the TI because i am upgrading the rest of my CPU when the new intel line comes out this fall. Considering my computer runs every other game i play (including DCS just not in VR) on max settings i didnt expect to have such a massive bottleneck at the CPU. I knew VR was more taxing but i just didnt think i would go from over 200 FPS on max settings to less than 40 in VR with stuff turned down. And considering people claim to get 90, even though my CPU is slower i still expect to get at least 60-70... It was set to use global settings, i changed it to MAX for DCS, will report back on this. Thanks! Thanks everyone for your advice i will keep chugging away at this. One more question, when in VR you can see what the person in the goggles sees on the computer screen, that is where my FPS is being displayed. Someone said that this is per eye and you have to double it to get your real FPS? Is that true?

Hey guys So i recently started playing with a Vive and while i can tell its going to be amazing (one day) i am so beyond frustrated im ready to go back to my TIR. My computer is as follows: i7 4770k 16 gigs ram 1080ti 512g SSD Temps are fine. In the A10c which is what i play mostly, i cant get above about 35 FPS (using nvidia FPS counter) in DCS World Single Player. I can safely say that i have watched 10 videos and read a dozen or more posts about settings and i have tried just about everything. I have turned down the resolution in steam VR. I have turned down the pixel density. I have launched the game without steam VR being on (let the game turn the goggles on) I have tried low/Med/High settings. MSAA on and off.... Just about everything in several combinations. Even with the resolution in steam VR all the way down i didnt get above 35 FPS and it looked awful. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be my CPU throttling stuff? (its quite old now but runs literally everything else 100% fine on max settings) Anyway i am on my last leg here before throwing in the towel and going back to TIR. The immersion isnt as good but at least it looks amazing and i can read my gauges and not lag all over the place.

Thanks for all the info!

Do you have any pics of your set up? i would be interested to see that! Thanks for the advice btw

Hey Guys So i am just starting out on this journey of making my own simpit for the first time. Now i am a pilot in real life (though not for a living, its a long story, i just fly for fun now) so i am pretty aware of how i want the cockpit to set up but i am just having a difficult time deciding on building out a physical cockpit with MDF(s) and other modules or simply going the VR route. Obviously VR is simpler and faster but i guess what i am looking for is some advice from some aivid simpit players. If you were starting a new pit, would you go VR or mount monitors and buttons and switches (and Track IR obv)? Does VR have any other advantages? And one question i have in particular is... How have you VR players managed actually flipping switches in the game cockpit (do you have a trackball or something nearby?) and how have you handled not being able to see your keyboard for chatting and such? Thanks for any advice guys!
