Steam VR Frametime survey

[OG84]

Hi pilots, i would like to collect some data on which system components have the most impact on VR performance. That's why i would ask you to take part in the following voluntary survey (no personal data is collected, only system specs). E.g. what i would like to know if the latest high core count amd cpus perform better in a Steam VR environment than some older but fast single core cpus.

 

I will share and present the results later, but you can already watch the current data yourself after you complete the survey.

thx :smartass:

 

PS: you can also submit multiple times if you like, e.g. with different super sampling settings or core clocks

 

Current Results (2.5.6.47404)

 

super sampling 1.0-1.2

9.1ms (109fps*) -> Ryzen 9 3900x (12+12 core 4.1ghz oc) + 2080ti + 32 GB DDR4@1599 + Valve Index + super sampling 1.0 = 0.061 FPS per €

9.5ms (105fps*) -> i7-7700k (4+4 core 5ghz oc) + 2080ti + 32 GB DDR4@1596 + Valve Index + super sampling 1.0 = 0.062 FPS per €

10.1ms (99fps*) -> i7-9700k (8 core 4.8ghz oc) + 1080 + 32GB DDR4@1596 + Samsung Odyssey + super sampling 1.0 = 0.087 FPS per €

10.5ms (95fps*) -> i7-7700k (4+4 core 4.2ghz stock) + 2080ti + 32GB DDR4@1596 + Valve Index + super sampling 1.0 = 0.056 FPS per €

25ms (40fps*) -> i7-7700k (4+4 core 4.2ghz stock) + 1080 + 16GB DDR4@1500 + Rift S + super sampling 1.2 = 0.048 FPS per €

44ms (22fps*) -> i5-3570k (4 core 4.4ghz oc) + 1080 + DDR3 @1596 + Rift CV1 + super sampling 1.0 = 0.029 FPS per €

 

super sampling 1.4-1.5

11ms (90fps*) -> Ryzen 9 3900x (12+12 core 4.1ghz oc) + 2080ti + 32 GB DDR4@1599 + Valve Index + super sampling 1.5 = 0.061 FPS per €

12ms (83fps*) -> i7-7700k (4+4 core 5ghz oc) + 2080ti + 32GB DDR4@1596 + Valve Index + super sampling 1.4 = 0.062 FPS per €

12.3ms (81fps*) -> i7-9700k (8 core 4.8ghz oc) + 1080 + 32GB DDR4@1596 + Samsung Odyssey + super sampling 1.5 = 0.087 FPS per €

12.6ms (79fps*) -> i9-9900k (8+8 core 4.9ghz oc?) + 2080ti + 64GB DDR4@1066 + Valve Index + super sampling 1.5 = 0.060 FPS per €

14ms (71fps*) -> Ryzen 5 3600 (6+6 core 4.2ghz oc) + 2070 + 32GB DDR4@1596 + Valve Index + super sampling 1.4 = 0.127 FPS per €

 

* projected fps, just 1000 divided by frametime. Not necessarily the fps shown in dcs due to reprojection or other frame locking.

* price per € = fps (ss1.0) divided by sum of current cpu, gpu and ram price

 

Systems with most bang for buck:

1. Ryzen 5 3600 + RTX 2070

2. i7-9700k + GTX 1080

 

The frametimes shown, are only for the the TF-51D quickstart mission (cold start from krymsk).

Also note the different super sampling settings. E.g. when I project the 9900k to super sampling 1.0, then it runs a 8,4ms frametime.

The results do not represent the general dcs performance throughout all missions. There a probably other missions where gpu or ram size has a higher impact.

 

Personal note: Although I have ~10ms frametime in this single player mission, I only have ~40ms frametime in multiplayer.

Your conclusion is lacking. ;-)

[OG84]

Well my personal conclusion is, that a high end ryzen performs on the same level as a high end intel. That suprised me the most. Even with way less core clock. But 10900k is around the corner. though i cannot verify all results, except my own. Due to lack of more data I cannot give more conclusions at the moment ;)

@OG 84, I think the 9700K is an i7 not an i9.. Not sure If I put that there as that was my test result.. so maybe make a correction there so there are not users looking for an i9 9700K ;)

maybe you can enlighten us a bit what is lacking??

thx, that was a typo. fixed.

[OG84]

Would the i9-9900k mind to retest with super sampling 1.0?

[Motomouse]

Lacking because in the conclusion only the combination CPU & GPU is mentioned. But other factors like HMD are very important too because of the different render resolution. :-)

 

Thanks anyway for the valuable collection of the data.
