Somebody got experience with an amd gpu and the rift s? I bought a 6900XT and my fps is really smooth and amazing, but I was just experimenting with asw and it's really bad.....

My 1080ti is basically smoother with asw enabled....And this is with every game I tried. Is this a driver issue? Or are the amd gpu's in general less smooth with asw?

 

 

Running ASW, I thought was determined by your VR device.

Curious, if your running DCS with FPS really smooth and amazing with your 6900XT why would you want to use ASW?

Good question, I want to know how future proof the amd cards are. For example with my 1080ti I could still get a very decent experience in DCS, x plane 11 or MSFS with asw, or locked 30hz. Sure there where some artifacts but it worked oke. Now I have a way beefier gpu you would expect it would run smoother with ASW on or locked 30hz because it can easily keep 45 fps for example...But it's unplayable with asw on. Without asw it's smooth tho....maybe my cpu 3950x issues?

As an example using Rift, if you're not able to maintain 90fps, ASW when enabled will reduce your fps to 45 while still giving you a smooth experience by interpolation.

Are you already getting the max fps from your VR HMD with your 6900XT?

Also there are several ASW options...RCTR + 1, 2, 3, or [4 which is auto]

Thank you, but for example if I use oculus tray tool and lock it on 30hz with my 1080ti it's pretty smooth in MSFS. If I use my 6900xt and lock 30hz it's not smooth at all, weird because my fps is around 45/50 in MSFS. I will try again in dcs tomorrow and see how smooth 30hz is for example. And will check what my average max fps is...

 I did a test again and now asw works perfect, I feel stupid . I don't know why, did change some settings in my amd software....My max fps is a constant 80 and with asw on it's a constant 40 fps, it's perfectly smooth now. Thnks for the help, for oculus rift s all seems fine for now with a amd card.

Anyone has problem with Oculus Rift S going black after some playtime in DCS ? The sound is still going and it is still Ok on my desktop screen, just no more video in the headset. I have to close and restart  DCS when this happen. I have no problem at all running MSFS. Running in default VR settings in DCS. Running on AMD Ryzen 5 3600 32Gig RAM and GE Force RTX 3060Ti 8gig.  Any special video settings on the graphic card itself ? It is annoying to fly then it start jerking the vision and just go black.

Delete fxo and try updating video card drivers, try enabling hardware accelerated GPU or if enabled, try disabling, enable Game Mode.

Could you share your ingame and Oculus Tray Tool settings? I think I'm having the same issue. With ASW on automatic, Im getting weird hitching when flying close to the ground. With it ON or on ADAPTIVe or OFF this doesn't seem to be the case.

 

I'm running a 3090RTX

I have a RIFT and a 1080ti and have just followed some Optimising advice (tweaked NVIDIA, DCS settings, but didnt go near shaders). Im now getting much better Performance in VR. Before I was max 45fps and below with a noticible stutter at times. Now it seems to be locked solid on 45fps and pretty smooth and occasionally flips to @90fps. Can someone please explain what this flip/flop 45/90 is about and is it a sign I can do better...? Im not too familiar with GFX stuff so please use kiddie gloves

I see you have mentioned the 45/90 fps thing here... Im getting my fps pegged solid on 45 and the ocasional flip to 90 or so. Its quite smooth, in fact best I have had but can I tweak to get more... Whats this about?

[Topo]

Not an expert, but for what i know:

Your Rift work at 90 or 45 fps.

If your system can achieve 90 fps, no problem,

If your system don't reach 45 or 90 fps, the ASW (asincronous something... ) "interpolate" the missing frames to 45 or 90 fps.

If your sim is smooth at 45 fps, probably your system is capable to reach and mantain 45 fps but not 90 (or only in some cases), and probably most of the time your fps are inbetwen 45 to 90.

Sorry for my english and for the confusion...

Most notable: added 120Hz for Oculus/Air Link with Quest 2.

How do I disable anti aliasing in the Quest 2 Link?

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Question: if I want better visual while maintaining good framerate, should I go to change the PD value in DCS VR Setting, or change the headset resolution? I am using Quest2 and Oculus native VR app.

If you change on Oculus it will affect to all your games, if DCS only DCS os affected, performance must be the same

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Sorry my question was not clear -- would it be preferred to change the PD value or the resolution of the headset?

It doesn't really make a difference. I use the in-game PD setting. 

[Wolf359]

Question: Is anyone else having an issue with dual throttle positioning in the hornet? I noticed that the right engine throttle keeps positioning slightly ahead of the left - when I have bock locked together on the warthog. And it affects flight, drifting to the left until I unlock the two and adjust until they're even in the cockpit.

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Question: if my rig and  setting allows me to go as fast as possible, can Quest2/Rift 2 actually run beyond 45 fps with ASW?

 

Also is there a way to set the ASW setting, other than off, automatically? I tried the command line version of Oculus Debug Tool, but it does not work. I tried OTT but it messes up the frame rate.

After putting on my Rift S, the menu wobbles slightly (sometimes more serious but unplug and plug the USB wire would reduce it wobble). So after I entered the game and sitting in the cockpit, I could see the cockpit also wobbles slightly, does anyone else encouter the same issue and any advise or solution would be much appreciated. 

 

Thanks!

Does your Quest 2 do it too?

Put Rift S on the desk with proximity sensor activated to see if it wobbles on a mirror screen. If not - it comes from your head movement.

You can, using a BAT file to launch DCS. I use a BAT to launch DCS to load TARGET script, set DCS and Oculus priority to high and set custom FOV and ASW on Oculus

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

Thanks. Eventually I find that I did the batch file wrong so after I fix it, it runs fine now.

I used to get exactly that with IL2, ever so slight wobble but more than enough to notice ,

sorted it by using open composite instead of steam vr to run the sim.
