I recently got an Oculus Rift and have been flying it the past few days. It provides amazing immersion and really makes situational awareness much easier. I am loving it.
I have a PC that is a bit below specs - GTX 970, i7-920 (OC @ 4 Ghz), 16 Gigs Ram, Windows 10. The FPS is marginal on low settings, but has been more than enough to play without issues. I have been playing on DCS 1.5.
The issue I am having is the text seems to be blurry to the point of being unable to read no matter what setting i have my textures on. Even when i put my textures on High, my FPS drops quite a bit, but the text is still much to blurry to read. For example the up front controller on the A10 is completely illegible no matter what texture settings i pick. I had expected clarity to go up and fps to go down with increasing texture setting. That doesn't seem to be the case.
I have a friend that has a Oculus and plays DCS and his text is much clearer, granted he has a GTX 1080. Does the quality of the GPU really have a major effect on the clarity or do i have some other problem possibly with my settings? I had assumed that the clarity would be independent of the graphics card, but would have a major effect on the FPS.
Does anyone have experience with a GTX 970 that has been able to get legible text on the cockpit?
