Nealius Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I know Normandy has had a bad rep for performance due to the old-style trees instead of speedtrees, but how is the performance in VR? Maybe compared to the other maps in VR? I've got the WW2 assets pack and a few warbirds, and I'm itching to try out the Big Show campaign, but now that I'm exclusively VR I'm worried about performance, especially considering the map is $60.

Nealius Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Is most of the performance linked to the trees and ground clutter? Does reducing the trees/clutter visibility help any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragBum Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm not sure about what features cause the issue but in VR Normandy map sucks performance wise. Don't get me wrong I like it but currently it's performance is pretty ordinary to say the least. I'll say it again fix the DCS VR engine before any new modules PLEASE! :( Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment.

Don't get me wrong I like it but currently it's performance is pretty ordinary to say the least. I'll say it again fix the DCS VR engine before any new modules PLEASE! :( I have to say I’m getting to the point where I agree with this. I can’t wait for these new modules but when they come out I’m left disappointed because I’m constantly playing with the graphics settings to maintain 45fps whilst trying to keep the sim looking reasonably nice and still immersive. I want this VR improvement more than any module.

Nealius Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Cibit, do you think some of that performance is up to the VR headset, or your i5's clock speed?

I've been considering OC'ing my i5-7600 but it's not a k, so my options are limited. I think DCS really likes the higher clock speeds. It should be a relatively easy option to get a 7700k and ram up the speed :) i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euan Emblin Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Yes, because Normandy is a third party developer product it will be up to them to perform the optimization in order to generate this anticipated improvement in VR performance.

ac5 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 And it is not only in VR...
