parxuk Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Reading some internet chat about Oculus homeless from 2018 and mixed reports of how effective it was. I couldn't see much posted more recently, especially with regards to more recent version of Oculus software and Rift S. Just wondered if anyone here is using it and considers it a worthwhile mod?

Twwhitey Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Yeah I’m running the homeless .exe in conjunction with the Oculus Tray Tool. In my mind the Homeless option is definitely worth running - considering its pretty trivial to swap between .exes. My rather informal testing using the windows task manager seemed to indicate that the stock Oculus Home app (with the rendered room with the fireplace, etc. running at all times in the background) ate up 3GB of the 11GB of VRAM on my 2080ti. Swapping out with the Homeless version (which replaces the rendered room with a blank gray environment) freed up 1.5GB of that. I figure DCS could stand to use another 1.5GB of vram... It’s a simple .exe swap so if you don’t like it or notice no perf improvement you can easily revert... you just need to make sure you re-apply it after oculus forced updates. i9-9900K @ 5.0GHz, ASUS ROG Z390 MAXIMUS XI HERO, ASUS GeForce RTX 2080Ti 11GB, 32GB DDR4 @ 3866MHZ, 1TB Intel 660P M.2 NVMe SSD, 1TB WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD, Oculus Rift S
