Occulus Rift CV1 Performance

[JNelson]

So I got a HTC Vive and a GTX-1080 less than a week ago. To be quite frank the performance is pants on all low settings with pixel density of 1.8. I was wondering what people were experiencing with the rift on DCS and whether I should send my vive back and order one of those.

 

To put this into context a friend of mine using the Rift was using a 970 like I was we both received a 1080 he was able to crank his settings up to near maximum with pixel density of 2.5 and if I do the same it is unplayable.

 

My CPU scored nearly 700 points more than his on CPU benchmark and we both have the same graphics card, so my conclusion in all of this is that the rift is far superior in performance on the Rift.

 

Just a sidenote I tested both my CPU and GPU to see if they were being throttled or something they both came back with similar scores to that they are on https://www.cpubenchmark.net/.

 

Would you guys agree with me on this one and should I send my vive back to get a rift?

 

My specs are:

 

i5 4690k @4.2 Ghz

GTX-1080

2 TB HDD

16GB DDR3 Ram

What is your fps with those settings, and what do you get with 1.0pd?

On any multiplayer it is always (with 1.0 pd) 45 and many times it drops to 30 which on the vive is unacceptable where as on the rift I believe it is still workable with ATW.

I would tinker more as that doesn't sound correct when compared to everybody else. Unless everybody's fps figures are based on an empty map and not near Sochi... Bottom line is none of our hardware is going to run it perfectly rift or vive, allot of work is yet to be done.

Remember this new tech is very sensitive to drivers and settings so do good pci's before making final decision.

pixel density of 2.5 is way to high, your pc is working 2.5 times harder than it should be

 

set pixel at 1.3 to 1.4 see how you get on

 

+is there any optimisations coming from dcs devs?

[Enduro14]

Also what version of dcs are you talking about? 1.5.4 beta has the best performance according to reports...

But Rift with Async Time Warp really helps with DCS. I had both. I sent Vive back. For DCS, and for now, Rift is a better VR HMD.

Just sent a return request to vive to return mine, and just put on order an occulus rift.

How much?

Grrr. Pet peeve of mine. I hate companies that don't ship to APOs. WTH???

 

PS: APO == Army (Military) Post Office. Same as US based ZIP code system, but for military posts overseas.

Yes it's a real big kick to the nuts that's for sure. At this point I give up and will try again after deployment.

Anyone leaves on or off hyperthreading when using DCS & VR?

No, should I, what are the benefits ?:smilewink:

thats what im trying to figure out, if there are benefits from turning hyperthreading off...

6 cores... I dont use it (its disabled in BIOS)
