TheSauvaaage Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Current system: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 32GB 3000MHz RAM Ripjaws GTX 1080 SSD Oculus Rift CV1 So far I think my system runs pretty "smooth" at constant 45fps with ASW. But I really can't stand the Rift's resolution and SDE any longer. Thus I will upgrade to an Odyssey+ (or just Odyssey if the perf impact is too harsh). 1) DCS switching to Vulkan is talked about a long time and a VR performance increase is expecting along with it. What is the current status here? Can we still expect Vulkan AND a performance increase? Road map? estimated time? 2) So long, what CPU is recommended? Ryzen 2600 obviously is in constant boost to 3,9 max... Single core power is still relevant, but what is enough and what is OP? Is the 2600X with a boost to 4,2 currently enough? Or (at least/more than) enough to have a smooth experience with the O+? Especially due to the Vulkan issue, I am hesitating to upgrade the CPU currently. Edited March 25, 2019 by TheSauvaaage
Strikeeagle345 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 if you don't like SDE, stick with the Odyssey+. Odyssey still has plenty of SDE.

71st_Mastiff Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 well the game settings would help. MSAA x2 would be good enough.

TheSauvaaage Posted March 25, 2019 Author Posted March 25, 2019 if you don't like SDE, stick with the Odyssey+. Odyssey still has plenty of SDE. Yeah that's what I heard heard from time to time. I'd prefer the O+, so the question remains: If the current system and settings are pretty stable at 45 fps with Oculus ASW, what would I have to upgrade and to what? I think that my CPU is currently the weak spot, but I am open to suggestions. Does Samsung/WMR has some kind of "ASW" for their HMDs? Add. info: I am basically only in Singleplayer, not Multiplayer... yet ;)
TheSauvaaage Posted March 25, 2019 Author Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) well the game settings would help. MSAA x2 would be good enough. I am not at home and don't have the settings on hand, but from the top of my head: most settings on the left bar are "high", civ traffic is off and shadows/heat blur are low MSAA x2 Shadows flat AF off Preload radius max (although I always "F11" through the map before hitting "fly" to preload) Edited March 25, 2019 by TheSauvaaage
