VR Updates - 30 NOV 18 News keep in mind the perf increase from vulkan comes from offloading all the graphics work to the developers and app rather than having dx11 do it. this means the developers have the opportunity to optimize their code and graphics routines, and most will, but vulkan itself does not guarantee a faster app. some show large improvements, some barely any. with time and effort, most games will fall somewhere in between.

Single Pass Stereo for VR Performance? umm, it should help but i think 100% is a bit optimistic. for the same reasons that adding an extra processing thread doesn’t increase app performance by 100%. maybe a 20% improvement is more realistic?

the world runs on intel. that’s not going to change any time soon. it will be interesting to come back to this thread in a year years time and see how many of us, or the companies we work for, have switched to amd. i’m going to go out on a limb and predict, “not many”, but we’ll have to wait and see.

before we can buy 5G we need to allow Huawei to finish developing it.

so... the 2075VR ?

Anybody thinking about VR.... the resolution is low. but the excitement is high. when the excitement is high enough, you adjust your expectations and are soon happy.

this is the usual case. i saw some stats a few weeks ago on the number of people who were having problems and it was under 0.1%.

What PC should I build? it’s not clear to people because you say one thing and the fps indicator says another. in the day and age of fake news, who should we believe? an anonymous internet poster? or the computer?

VR that’s a huge, huge increase over what it is now. sounds like a good time to invest some of my retirement savings.

are you thinking of the new 2075 they mentioned?

to be pandantic , DCS uses “threads”. and a thread can run on any core and will very often bounce around between 2, 3 or more cores. which is why you can be cpu bound when task manager only shows 30 % core usage.

Ranma13, we need some of your input over in the hardware forum. please. (and yes i’m serious) over there, large core counts reign supreme and are heavily promoted by “experts”

when i look at the DCS process, it shows more than 20 threads. normally, each of those threads can be scheduled on different physical cores. does DCS prevent the OS from doing that?

i don’t believe that’s true. DCS uses a whole bunch of threads and all of those threads can be assigned to any of your cores.

IPD is the physical measurement between your pupils. once measured and set, you shouldn’t need to adjust it in tool or in game.

is this true? DCS uses multiple threads and those threads can run on any core at anytime. it’s one of the reasons we buy buy multi core machines. and why many of us buy cpu’s with 6 or more cores.

it should definitely help. do we have a real ETA? i’ve heard everything from 3 months to 3 years

anti-virus running? any interesting backup software or performance utilities?

there are settings that work for almost any card... whether you want to talk about those settings, is another matter :)

fair enough. other than the data stats in AB, do you notice it in game? i haven’t seen any difference in fps rates or stutter.

New i9 9900k Rift in VR sure. but if there is no load, there is nothing to do. it would be like driving around town with your throttle foot continuously pressed to the floor. lots of rpm, but no work to do.

Pimax 5K+ DCS review and 2080ti benchmarks if that is the case, then the gpu is probably not the bottleneck. but keep in mind it’s difficult to compare systems. when two guys say they are both using ABC settings, it turns out it’s almost never actually the case. they just think they are running the same settings. so most often you are comparing apples and oranges.

don’t the nvidia cards run at “maximum performance” speeds when there is a load on them and work to do?

ah! interesting. the things we do for our sims! :)

to be fair, 32GB is not all you will ever need, either.
