Nagilem Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 A wingmate of mine just posted this... Interesting findings... I am also seeing my 2080ti card peg at 65% with a WMR headset. I'll do some testing tomorrow but it looks like there is a bug somewhere... Not sure this is new or not, and maybe there is already a solve. :pilotfly: Specs: I9-9900k; ROG Strix RTX 2080ti; Valve Index HMD; 32GB DDR4 3200 Ram; Samsung 970 EVO 1TB SSD; TM Warthog with pedals, 3 TM MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some1 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Nothing unusual, the game is limited by CPU performance. You can bump pixel density, then GPU usage will go up with negligible change to FPS.

NastyFruit Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Did you guys watch the video? When he hits the "default" button in X1 (Whilst in flight), the GPU utilization jumps from 65% to 93%, and fps jumps from 55ish to 80. And then he can even overclock it again! This is insane. Hoping we can get some more info on it. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyfranky Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Yeah, just watched the vid. Quite bizarre. I'll take a closer look at my GPU usage.

Boris Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) I just watched the video... Wow, this really is bizarre and very significant. I wonder if fixing this is what is being done with the announced VR optimisation. Has anyone reproduced yet, or is it something specific to Swevivers system?

I'm usually at 75-80% and it can go as high as 100% on my 2080ti. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Nagilem Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 I loaded up the MSI afterburner software a few weeks ago, and noticed I wasn't crushing the 2080ti card I have. I am using a Samsung Odyssey + with WMR and SteamVR for Windows. I consistently got 12-15% CPU utilization with~65% GPU utilization with 40-45FPS almost everywhere. I do have the SteamVR set to reprojection. No SSAA or PD set outside of DCS (Steam at 100%). I set PD to 1.3 inside DCS. I'm not sure I have any ideas for how to try something different as I do not think I can launch DCS without SteamVR and see anything on my HMD. I'll take a whack at changing a few things this afternoon to see if I can reproduce this issue with a WMR headset. I don't think this is restricted to Pimax alone... :pilotfly: Specs: I9-9900k; ROG Strix RTX 2080ti; Valve Index HMD; 32GB DDR4 3200 Ram; Samsung 970 EVO 1TB SSD; TM Warthog with pedals, 3 TM MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harlikwin Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Sounds like it might be something with his setup or specific to pimax then. Maybe he's got a shadow bitcoin miner running in the background :) New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

ShaDowz Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 You guys have any idea on how to run pimax through pitool only. I did import dcs.exe through pitools. I ran it, i get the fatal error messages, i clicked through them for probably 15 minutes and dcs do not start. Anything else i could try? Im running the standalone version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
