Oculus Rift with DCS World Discussion

[Frusheen]

As of today, would I be advised to by Oculist rift merely to fly in this game and are my specs sufficient? Intel ® core CPU 3.50GHz (4CPUs) Mem 8192MB DirectX 12, Gforce GTX 960

 

I would say no also. I doubt you will get high enough framerates.

[Gruman]

What CPU are you actually running? Which generation? Depending on the chip there could be potential for OC (as it would be if it's a I5 6600k).

Not saying you will be able to run the rift with the GTX 960, but CPU OC and a GPU Swap could bring you closer to the rift.

Oculus provides a "Compatibility Tool" that will test your system to see if it meets Oculus Standards.

 

My Rig is over 4 yrs Old and did not pass the test,but with a Healthy overclock and a G-Force 1080 I'm able to enjoy DCS in VR until I'm ready to upgrade.

Intel i7 3790x @4.7GHz Asus 1080 Graphics 16 gig RAM

I couldn't fly with out VR. It's so much better than TrackIr. It does have its issues though but it'll only get better as time goes by.

I am with you there, tried flying again on my 2d monitor not long ago, and it was terrible to me.

My Track IR is officially retired now...

You would get way more fps from an I7 6700k overclocked to say 4.6 than moving up to a 1080ti. Way more. DCS is very much liking the high clock and ddr4.

 

Not so sure about that - I run my 6700K at the standard 4.2Ghz and it barely even starts breathing heavy in VR, whereas my 1080ti Strix OC does max out.

 

See screen shot of F-5E instant-action Takeoff mission.

Hey I hope you all got to see this recording of a stream. The Normandy map sure looks smooth enough in VR. I am rather excited by it now:)

Realy not ready

 

Thanks for all the input. Don't think I'll bother. My pc plays just about anything I throw at it and I'm not going to spend another pile of cash on upgrades.

I could be wrong but relative to where he is and depending on his setting I think s cpu would give him more. Although DCS 2 is uses more GPU than DCS 1.5 it is still vastly more cpu than gpu dependent. This study is a little dated and only done on 1.5 but it is quite obvious this isn't your normal VR title. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=157374

This and the mention by some (in this thread)who have moved from a GTX 980 to 1080 or more, saying they thought they would get a bigger boost leads me to my conclusion. The thread is quite informative at any rate.

I fly with the A10C on the Nevada map but to me the scale seems off. What I mean by that is the A10C seems much bigger compared to the landscape. I know in Flyinside you can adjust the planes size, but you can't do that in DCS. Does anyone else get this where the scale seems off?

[Verde]

Guys please help! I was runnind amd card and to be able to push things in multiplayer i pressed alt+enter for fullscreen. Now I got GTX1070 and as soon as i press alt+enter i get black screen in RIFT:( How to solve this thing?

[Cibit]

Just one thing I can think of, do you have the fullscreen box checked in the options menu. Also in power settings make sure you disable USB suspend.

Does the Sim run ok when you don't go alt enter?

Hi to everyone....i am wondering to get into vr and buying an or, but before spending 700 euros i would like to know if my system will be ok with it...i have an msi laptop and i have very good performance with dcs world 1.5.6 using an external 3440x1440 monitor (60fps with most settings high)...the notebook is done for gaming and vr (msi gt73vr 7re titan) and has this specs:

 

I7-7820hk which i overclock at 4.2 when playing dcs

Gtx 1070 overclocked as well using the msi software

32 gb ram

1 nvm2 ssd for so

1 sata ssd for the games

17.3 full hd monitor at 120hz (but i use external 34" 21:9 monitor as said before)

Eventually in the future i could use an external gpu via thunderbolt 3 connector, but for now i am satisfied with the graphical performances.

My question is, how i could do a realistic testing to see the vr performances with dcs?both steam and oculus tests say my computer is ok...but i don't know with dcs, can someone advice me?

Thanks

I would imagine getting very good results in VR with that specification. It would be best for you to travel to visit a friend with a rift to try if at all possible. Having a laptop certainly makes it easier than taking a tower with you. Also if you buy from Amazon they have a good return policy. A friend bought one and decided he disliked it and got a full refund :)

Hope this helps you get one, you won't regret it:thumbup:

Unfortunately no friend of mine is involved in flight sims (no near one anyway).

Anyway i found an offer at 550 euros...but not on amazon :p

Is there a scenario or a settings in dcs which i can use to simulate vr and see the fps?

Thanks again

 

Ps in the picture you can see my notebook stats while playing dcs world enemy within campaign in 1.5.6 at 3440x1440 (settings below) and never down 60fps (neither up because i use vsync)

[Cibit]

With that resolution to get 60 fps constant will easily give good returns in the rift with the same settings, 45 - 90 FPS is the sweet spot

[slowhand]

I pulled the trigger:gun_sniper: on Friday and got a Cv1 and I don't mean the USS Langley:megalol: and Cibit Brother you are right on the money:cheer3nc::cheer3nc: :thumbup: I don't think i'll ever go back to monitor setup to :pilotfly: ever again. Thx again..

Hey man that's the style. I had mine rma'd due to a fault and tried once with track ir. Then played company of heroes for 2 weeks :thumbup:

 

P.S. welcome to the club :)

I think your system will perform just fine with the Rift.

What is the current state of ASW? I know several months ago you had to do a registry edit and use the keyboard to turn it off and on. Has that changed? Is the edit still necessary, and is it still turned off and on manually?

[Flamin_Squirrel]

R-Ctrl + numpad 1-4 selects different settings on the fly. I'm not sure if you still need a reg edit to enable this though.

It is on by default now. No need to edit the registry any more. You can control its state like this:

• Control-Numpad1: Disables ASW and returns to the standard rendering mode.
  
• Control-Numpad2: Forces apps to 45Hz with ASW disabled. Depending on the application, you are likely to experience judder.
  
• Control-Numpad3: Forces apps to 45Hz with ASW enabled. Enabling and disabling ASW will help you see the effects of ASW.
  
• Control-Numpad4: Enables ASW. ASW automatically turns on and off, depending on whether the app maintains a 90Hz frame rate. This is the default runtime rendering mode.
