1080Ti vs 1080 for VR.

[TripRodriguez]

I have Gigabyte GTX1080 G1 Gaming and that TI makes me want, but I think I'd get more out of a CPU/mobo/RAM upgrade. Currently running 4790K @4.4Ghz . I'm content with DCS 2.0 performance but 1.5 has been pretty bad.

 

All VR of course, I wouldn't even think of playing DCS on a monitor!

Well the performance increase from my 980ti to 1080ti is definitly worth it. Next card will be later or have a minimum on performance on the 1080ti. But that is my opinion.

 

You must take DCS optimization into consideration as well. You see most likely 6 months from now my 980ti will perform in DCS just as good as your 1080ti right now especially when DCS 2.5 is released. Even if Volta Ti will have minimum performance increase on 1080ti it will still be a really good increase in performance on 980ti. It will be a considerable difference and that's what so intriguing. Instead of jumping up little by little in FPS I will have a big jump:) I just remember the time when I switched from 8800GTS to 680 and seeing the difference was really exciting.

hahaha glad I'm not the only one hehehe

I'm going to wait and see, not sure exactly what this means below from VEAO. I do wish they pushed VR into full SLI support, I would just get another 1070 for now, one per eye.

 

DCS itself has come on leaps and bounds with the latest installments and we can't wait to develop systems and functionality for what is yet to come <no spoilers>.

 

You will see vast improvements in technology for DCS; VR being a classic example of this and we are excited to announce some partnerships early in the New Year, so keep an eye out for announcements!!

Anybody have it already?:D

 

Asking because there are dooming vids up on youtube games on the gtx 1080ti.

[hansangb]

I'm so torn. You can order the 1080Ti from EVGA but not the one with 3 fans (ICX). Since my Titan X is the hybrid version, I kind of like the extra cooling that the ICX version will bring. But I'm sooo tempted. Like a kid, if I'm honest! :)

1080 sold on ebay ( £440 )

 

will grab an MSI 1080 ti gamer X on release

 

going back to my trusty 780-titan in the mean time

 

using a 2600k , considering a switch to a new mobo/ram with i7 7700k

[Wolf8312]

I'm enjoying and am satisfied enough with the VR experience as it is at the moment to see no reason for an upgrade I bought my 980Ti last year and think it's still a great card for the vast majority of games DCS included.

 

I want my next VR computer/GPU to be sure it can play DCS without even needing Async reprojection and feel confident DCS is going to receive better optimizations anyway. If I bought this now and a few months later a new card comes out that can confidently hit 90 I'm gonna be sad.

[cichlidfan]

The only reason to buy a founders edition card is if you plan to water cool. I'm actually considering it!

 

For those that can't wait and are considering water...

[boedha68]

My expectation after research is that the new gtx 1080ti is performing factor 1.5 against my gtx 980ti. So VR ASW always on and have always 90 fps on my rift? Cranking settings up? What are your thoughts about it? (nobody has one yet?)

[fulcrum_64th]

1080 ti is out of stock :mad:. Rumours indicates that the cards should hit stock again around March 25th.

Hi all

 

after selling my MSI1080 gamer X (brill card) I'm using my trusty old 780titan

runs pretty well ( I use VR only ) on lower settings but not going to try DCS or my Sim-racing titles as been spoilt with the 1080

 

incredible how the VR experience was so much better with 1080 & its more than just a pretty much rock solid frame rate

 

enjoying Google Earth VR (mind blowing experience for me) & robo recall for fun on lowest settings

 

hope to pick up a msi 1080ti G.X available over next month hopefully (1080 sold for £440 )

be ready for DCS WW2 content which I've already pre-purchased too

[boedha68]

Tsjee.... My expectations are very high after looked at this vid.

 

980TI vs 1080TI

 

It's a god card. especially the numbers from fire strike. 1080TI 67,19% better then the 980TI. WOW!!!

 

What does this in VR?

I have seen a lot on this as well and WOW!!!!!

Hi everyone

I want to change my

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X 256bit AMP Extreme Gaming Graphic Card (ZT-P10800B-10P)

to this one:

 

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme 11GB GDDR5X 352-bit PCIe 3.0 Gaming Graphics Card VR Ready (ZT-P10810C-10P)

 

Someone had use it? It will be a difference using OCULUS RIFT?

 

Thanks

I can relate my experience.

 

I went from an EVGA 1080 FTW to an EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 card.

I definitely saw an improvement for me in DCS 2.1. Previously I was struggling just to even maintain 45 fps over Normandy, oftentimes dropping into the mid 30's which of course caused stuttering.

 

After installing the 1080 Ti card, with the same settings, I was able to maintain 45 fps solid without any problem over Normandy. In fact I was able to add some shadows and a little MSAA and still maintain 45 fps.

I think the 50% more cuda cores certainly helps with the Ti card.

 

Now granted, it may have not been a big improvement, but for me it was just enough to give me some nice smooth play over Normandy in 2.1.

According to what I have read, the 1080 Ti card gives somewhere around a 20-30% gain in performance over the 1080.

 

Whether that gain is worth the expense to you is hard to say, only you can decide. I really struggled making the decision , and finally just said what the hey I am going to do it. And I have not regretted doing so.

Understand though DCS, especially 2.1 Open Alpha, is still very much a work in progress and kind of rough around the edges so to speak. Hopefully performance optimizations will come with time.

Would you be so Kind and Post your settings?

 

I also have a Msi Gtx 1080 gaming x and i'm not really happy framerate wise. What i'm aiming for is 45fps steady with deferred shafing on, msaa 2x, shadows at least to low, visibility range to Medium and a PD of 1.5.

 

Still dont know if i should just wait for Ed to sort out the actual Performance issues first or just go with the 1080ti...

 

Edit: i tested over las vegas with the huey in 50ft and in the afternoon. In every other place on Nevada o could maintain 45 fps with the stated settings above.

I have terrain shadows to flat.

Regular shadows to Medium.

MSAA 2x.

Visib range high

PD at 1.3.

Deferred Shading On.

Civ Traffic pretty low

 

What CPU are you running and at what speed? How much ram do you have?

[exil]

Thanks for the reply!

 

I use a Ryzen 1600 @ 3.9 GHz and 16gb RAM. According to hwinfo the gpu is clearly the bottleneck while CPU usage gets barely to 70% on one core.

 

Maybe i should also try a PD of 1.3.

Thank you so much to take your time to explain me your experience, some times we need a little "Push up" to take decisions. Thanks again

You are most welcome.

I "think" you would see enough improvement to at least not regret getting one, but again every individual is different in what they see and their expectations. All I can say is I am very glad I did it myself.

[pimp]

...According to what I have read, the 1080 Ti card gives somewhere around a 20-30% gain in performance over the 1080...

You think it's because of the higher cuda cores or the higher VRAM, or both?

[hansangb]

I never had an issue with VR the old Titan-X (Maxwell based). And the original 1080's had faster and more cores, but less VRAM.

 

So I'm thinking the fast VRAM plays a critical role.

Well I think it certainly helps for sure.
