^ this we don’t mind wasting time on fiddly stuff, but enterprise companies do.

...the plot thickens

so maybe we just need to reword the constraint. yes, it’s “possible but not worth the time, money or effort required” to sell a game.

too late! he’s already got our imprints and a paycheck

Gen 1.5-2 HMD Roundup for DCS how do they get it to perform on their computers in their development shop? are they all running 2080’s? using hdmi instead of display port?

business users are pushing back on the rapid Win/Serv update cycle. for example, most companies are still running the 2017 or april 2018 update. last i heard msft is going to slow things down a tad and focus more on stability than features.

more like sand and less like a box?

so after a 2 yr wait we got 1.5 VR update. do you think it is another 2 years to get to finally get to 2.0?

it’s difficult to offload work and keep the latency down so that we get smooth fluid behavior. i can’t think of any sims that don’t rely on fast single core performance. parallelism works great for batch type jobs, but not interactive jobs like games and sims

quad cpu would be pretty neat. the trick is finding something useful to process. we had.a dual cpu machine to play with and the cores sat idle 90% of the time. we couldn’t keep it busy.

that’s the most important part.

ah, ok. that explains it. i didn’t know microsoft limited ram usage for the Home versions. everyone i know ran the Pro version.

i’m surprised there was a 16GB limit. some of our guys at work ran win 7 and they had more than 16GB installed.

agree. but even here in DCS forums you regularly see users suggesting 1.5->2.0.

everywhere you go on the internet they say supersampling provides more quality. he probably the idea from there.

fair enough. do we know what the deciding factor is? does it only work on really fast machines?

Valve Index Hands On the quality of the rift s in real life is another example of why you can’t always trust white papers, speculative forum posts or youtube’rs.

it could be windows, i am not sure about that version of windows 7, but it could also be your motherboard. some MB’s only support 16GB

+1 nice work

DCS Update Patch Notes Discussion Thread thanks for the update. a difficult decision to be sure, but it’s the right call given the situation

Do I need 32GB of Memory now? what would we put in 16GB of vram? we could preload and force things in, but most of the textures would be sitting there unused

not sure about a memory leak. would that slow the system down? also, if it was a memory leak, wouldn’t we all have symptoms of it?

Best VR-Google out there? difficult to say. most of these units haven’t been put through the paces yet. a few “hype” reviews on youtube for click money, but little real data. i wouldn’t trust them.

rehashing old designs and still the fastest. unfortunate, but sometimes you just need to roll with it.

worse than not having enough memory?
