dburne Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 In case anyone does not see it, this was posted a little earlier in the Oculus Rift discussion thread by Wags: Hey everyone, Earlier we mentioned that we have been working on DCS VR optimization. I have good news today! After much investigation and work, we traced the issue back to the terrain engine. We have since adjusted the terrain engine, and this has resulted in a 50% increase in VR performance! We will continue to test and optimize this further, but we hope to have this great improvement to you soon. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3869786&postcount=2333 Awesome News!!!!

slipstream21 Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Holy cow. And I’ve just splashed out on a 2080ti. Bloody typical. Lol.
rrohde Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Holy cow. And I’ve just splashed out on a 2080ti. Bloody typical. Lol. That's called 'future-proofing' - nothing wrong with that. :) Anyway, looking forward to those new engine improvements hopefully very soon! :thumbup: PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com

Still looking to the Reverb as my VR HMD upgrade. I may even upgrade the processor to a 9900K soon, since this would be the first time in memory that a significant processor upgrade isn't going to require a new motherboard. It runs on a Z3XX series motherboard, just like my 8700K does. Starting with the GPU first though, so I can see how much difference it makes on its own. The difference between the 980ti and 1080ti on my 5960X machine was like night and day. Hopefully this will be the same.

Kayos Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Should come in handy when I upgrade from the Rift to Reverb [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Darpa Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 As I long suspected... the meaning of life, the universe and everything is NOT 42. It is a brand new powerful VR machine, a crop of new 2019 VR headsets and the guy who produces your favorite piece of software telling you he found a 50% improvement in VR performance.
TOViper Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Since I own a "normal" Nvidia 1070, I have to admit that this is fantastic news.

funkyfranky Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 50% increase in FPS is big :D Especially as the statement is kept very general, i.e. independent of GPU, CPU, HMD, map, number of units in the mission etc. A warrior's mission is to foster the success of others. i9-12900K | RTX 4090 | 128 GB Ram 3200 MHz DDR-4 | Quest 3 RAT - On the Range - Rescue Helo - Recovery Tanker - Warehouse - Airboss

Euan Emblin Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) This is very promising. I currently run the Rift and have to dial down on quality as we all do. I am scoping out a new VR ubermachine and am looking at the Asus OC'd Strix 2080 Ti with 32 Gb RAM. Would you more experienced guys go for i7 9700K or i9 9900K for the CPU? I know DCS does not benefit really from HT and only uses a couple of cores. The i9 runs hotter and I intend to overclock the CPU to over 5 GHz so that is an important consideration. Please feel free to weigh in! Looking to get the HP Reverb too, unless the Valve Index is a surprise.

Ron Attwood Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 That is great news.... As it means we get to use something else like AA or shadows or longer visibility ranges.... Assuming you mean 'airplanes in the sky, don't get too excited, he said 'terrain engine'. :music_whistling:
