1080 SLI or not with CV1

[Raz_Specter]

Hi Guys

 

I am thinking of ordering another 1080, I have the EVGA 1080 Founders Edition atm, along with the Oculus Rift CV1

 

I am a chopper pilot, which is what i love to fly. I normally fly either the KA or the Gazelle, in the Gazelle I am getting on average 35 to 60 FPS depending on where i am and what is on the screen in the rift.

 

In the Mirage at angels 30 I get between 80 - 90 no issues. but as i said i am a helo pilot which is what i love.

 

So would adding another 1080 help with the frame rates? if not at this current time what about in 2.5? Is SLI being thought about / Coded?

 

I have attached my settings which i dont really want to compromise on as I love eye candy. Although i would like to max everything out in the rift as before i was flying in 4K with everything maxed without an issue.

 

I have my pixel Density set to 1.8

Oculus' API Does not Support Multi-GPU, you'd be wasting money.

Not to mention that dual GPU's are of little benefit in the current DCS implementation.

Not always the case it double my frame rate in 2.0 just have a stutter problem over Vegas.

Back to vr evidently with steam vr aka the Vive if you force Alternate frame rendering 2 in the sli portion of Nvidia control panel have seen reports of almost double the frames in VR. People will have to try it as I don't have vr yet. Or if anybody in Germany want to bring their Vive over I could test it :)

The average usage of GTX1080 in vr is almost 60% - 80%.

Low fps is not caused by your GPU, it's caused by the engine which can only use one CPU core to process all the things except sounds.

You couldn't gain any fps increased by adding any other GPUs, unless you had a 10GHz cpu.

Why do you have V-Sync on ?
