Rift and GTX1080/Titan, settings and trouble ?

[dureiken]

Hi,

 

I just bought a Oculus Rift CV1 for flying on M2000 with DCS :) I'm the lucky owner of a Titan X Pascal too.

 

I have some questions for you :) if you could take time to help me.

 

1-Do you use Oculus/vive debug tool to use SS, or DCS itself ? Which one is the best or is it the same ?

 

2-I have some difficulties to look at the HUD, it seems too near for me and it makes me squint (not sure of the word)

 

3-Writting on the side panels of the plane are unreadable. HUD and information on side in front panel are readable

 

4-do you NVpanel or NVinspector to improve/change some settings ?

 

5-on this record : I have 45 fps going near bantumi, do I have to really down my settings or this scene is too hard for all computer ?

6-Could someone with 1080 share his settings ?

 

It's hard to set, but what a pleasure to fly IN the plane :)

 

Thanks a lot for your time and answers ! a new era of video games is coming, really.

Can you screen shot your dcs settings , could see what your using at present

I'm asking a lot of the same, here

Here are my settings :

 

and SS to 1.5 on DCS menu

 

ELEVE = HIGH MOYEN = MEDIUM

(can't achieve to put them in englsih, sorry)

 

I made a lot of tests on this track :

http://www.mediafire.com/download/8cvvvk712m096tq/M2000-Train.miz

 

I have 45 fps looking in front of me and on the left, 90 fps looking back.

 

The only option that impact my FPS is Visual range :

-45(front)/90(back) with Medium

-30(front)/60(back) with Ultra

 

with Ultra I tried SS to 0.5, I have the same fps. I think it's not GPU bottleneck., and not CPU bottleneck as my CPU charge is at 60% (I have a 6600k@4.6ghz).

 

I think it's just DCS limitations, as in my post here : https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=173486

 

Do you see a difference between 1.5 and 2 SS ?

 

Thanks

[dureiken]

Can someone just try this track : http://www.mediafire.com/download/mjq6s67b0ffzsxg/M2000ombres%282%29.trk

 

and tell me how fps evolve ?

 

Thanks

[dureiken]

nobody could test with M2000 ? :) thanks

I can't say much about the other settings as my system if far from your specs, but I'd suggest turning "Halo Lumineux" OFF, as those options are only nice for adding cinema effects (when the sim is used to shoot mini-films).

Shadows kill performance in VR, I get much better performance if I turn them off completely. There's supposed to be an update soon allowing us to have in-cockpit shadows on but world shadows off. Can't wait for that.

 

Here are my graphics settings:

 

["VR"] = {
["box_mouse_cursor"] = true,
["enable"] = true,
["pixel_density"] = 1.5,
["use_mouse"] = true,
},
["graphics"] = {
["DOF"] = 0,
["HDR"] = 1,
["LensEffects"] = 0,
["MSAA"] = 2,
["OculusRift"] = true,
["TranspSSAA"] = true,
["anisotropy"] = 2,
["aspect"] = 1.6,
["civTraffic"] = "low",
["clouds"] = 2,
["clutterMaxDistance"] = 90,
["cockpitShadows"] = true,
["color"] = "32",
["disableAero"] = false,
["effects"] = 3,
["flatTerrainShadows"] = 0,
["fullScreen"] = true,
["haze"] = 1,
["heatBlr"] = 1,
["lights"] = 2,
["preloadRadius"] = 64565,
["scenes"] = "high",
["shadowTree"] = false,
["shadows"] = 0,
["sync"] = false,
["terrainTextures"] = "max",
["textures"] = 2,
["treesVisibility"] = 5104,
["visibRange"] = "Medium",
["water"] = 0,
}

Thanks for your answer, I opened another thread to share my tests !

Thank you! gettting so many little good tips looking around like this. Someone needs to make and have sticky'd a "Getting the most out of your rift" thread

Hi

 

where did you find this settings file ? I don't have

cockpitShadows in mine

 

Thanks

I think it might be something I added manually after trawling through many posts on Rift VR performance. It was something someone suggested at some point, but I don't think it ever made a difference.

 

I went through so many old posts on the forums trying to disable tree shadows and keep cockpit shadows and tried just about everything. It was probably this post from 2011: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1213835&postcount=1 and things have changed quite a bit since then!

[dureiken]

ok thanks

 

it didn't work to have only shadows in cockpit ?
