eaglecash867 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 I think some did get a boost in VR a few months back when that was going on - myself included. It was not huge but was nice at the time. I definitely saw a boost between 2.5.4 and 2.5.5. Not sure if it was an improvement over 2.5.3 though, because they definitely broke something in 2.5.4.

DeltaMike Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 @OP yeah when I first got started I used to think the same thing. I agitated for a "water" map with nothing but that, and it sounds like that's more or less in the works. Did most of my missions on the NTTR map, which I found a little faster in VR (and it's beautifully done, deserves more love than it gets imo). But I'm coming around to the idea that the action is on the motherboard. Overclock or upgrade your CPU, get a fast SSD. Upgrade to 32gb of RAM. Keep it all cool. Having done those things, I've found the difference between one map and another to be negligible. VR is not an inexpensive hobby. Is what it is. All I can say is, you don't have to worry as much about the GPU as you might think; you just need enough for your headset. Get your mobo sorted. And yeah, forget about shadows, and dial down your vis range settings. There's not enough CPU on the consumer market to choke everything down. Not in VR.
