dburne Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Got my new build done a few days ago. Finally got DCS and Voice Attack all installed and set up on the new system. Running the i9 9900k on an EVGA Z390 Dark MB. 32 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 ram. Rest of specs in sig. All I can say so far is Wow! Loving the performance I am seeing so far using my Rift. Flying the Spit over Normandy. Finally I can run shadows and mirrors. Shadows on High, terrain shadows on flat only. Seeing fps in the 60 and 70's over terrain (ASW is off), and 90 fps over water even when some terrain in view. Running PD of 1.5 with some fairly high graphics settings. All smooth as a baby's butt. Still doing some tweaking. CPU at stock , have not begun to overclock it yet which I will be doing soon. Came from an i7 4820k @ 4.50 GHz and 16GB DDR3 ram. Very pleased so far with the results I am seeing in VR on the new rig.

rrohde Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 That's outstanding! Nice step-up from the i7 then it seems. I am due for an upgrade later this year as well and am taking notes. :) PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious to know what is the performance benefit for that plane. Cheers Well I have it along with the PG map however have not gone in and set up the controls yet. Will try to do so here in the next few days. I would think it would be at the least as good as Normandy and likely a little better.

toutenglisse Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 now just add ott, and set 1.1 ss, and then you can raise your pd values to 2.0. With oculus tray tool set with 1.1 supersampling, whatever the pixel density is set in DCS doesn't matter : it will run 1.1 because ott is an overrider (with DCS, and it's the same using oculus debug tool). Btw you can verify this using the Hud layer, showing the number actually in use when running DCS (1.01 if you set 1.0, or 1.71 if you set 1.7 in ott, overrideing the DCS pd setting), and also the gpu usage that correspound to this ss override.

toutenglisse Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 what's the benefit of using OTT? So one need to start OTT before DCS and do the changes? I don't use OTT or ODT if the game/app has a pixel density setting. But the benefit could be to use a more specific PD number (1.36 instead of 1.3 or 1.4 in DCS) or dedicated to profile ASW option.

dburne Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 what's the benefit of using OTT? So one need to start OTT before DCS and do the changes? I use it to create individual game profiles for my Rift. If the game does not have it's own PD setting, I use the OTT to set the SS. I also have it set to switch audio, when Oculus Home starts the audio switches to Rift, when I exit Oculus Home it switches back to my speakers. Also use it to set my ASW setting, for DCS I prefer ASW off. So have that set in the game profile in OTT.

Now I'm thinking to upgrade my 6700K to 9900K or 9700K, but doubt there will be noticeable improvement. Thanks! Have it running at 5.1 GHz on all 8 cores now, rock solid. I saw a large improvement on my end, going from i7 4820k @ 4.5 GHz, DDR3 ram , and the 2080 Ti to this new build with the same 2080 Ti. I did not see a big leap on this previous system when I changed from 1080 Ti to 2080 Ti. However yours would not be as large a leap as you have the 6700k so not sure how much you would see.

Not sure you would need 9900k, probably 9700k would be just as good. Be aware these 8 core chips run pretty warm so look at good cooling solutions especially if overclocking. The 9900k gives Hyper Threading, I disabled that on my rig though as my games do not benefit from it and I reduced my core temps by about 6-8 degrees c doing so.
