How to check VR fps?

[Emacs]

Hi there,

 

what do you use to check your VR fps?

 

I'm currently using the fps counter in DCS (Left Ctrl + Pause) and shows a constatn 24fps. It doesn't fluctuate at all. Constant 24.

That is much too low and I know my machine can do more (i9 9900K, 64GB RAM and Radeon 5700XT with 8GB, Oculus Quest with USB3 Link).

 

Either in-game fps is wrong or something is hard-limiting my setup to 24fps.

I've reset all settings in the OTT (all to default) and in DCS (standard VR preset). No change. 24fps.

 

With the exact same settings in 2d on my 4k monitor I get 86 fps in the same instant action flight.

Something in the VR renedering pipeline is limiting the VR output to 24 fps.

 

But for the live of me I cannot figure out, what it is.

 

Cheers,

I don't have Quest so this is just my speculation based on what I know of Quest.

 

First of all, Nvidia GeForce Experience has FPS counter overlay but I highly doubt DCS frame rate counter is lying to you.

 

What's interesting to me is that it is locked at 24fps. 24fps is what most movies are using. And basic concept of Quest link cable is streaming the movie of the game to your headset. I would investigate the settings on Oculus software.

 

One possibility may be that you increased the resolution higher than the cable bandwidth allows and it reduced the frame rate to compensate. Things like Super Sampling are basically increasing resolution. Did you try plugging it into different USB3 port?

 

Just realized you have Radeon. There are other frame rate counters such as fraps which are free.

Yeah can't say I have ever seen that happen in my Quest with Link.

I use in game fps counter.

Hi there,

 

I uninstalled the Oculus software, uninstalled Oculus Tray tool.

Switched off hyperthreading for my i9 9900k in the BIOS and overclocked it to 5Ghz.

A couple of reboots later to ensure that everything was clean and stable, I re-installed the Oculus software. No OTT this time.

In DCS I selected the default VR preset (not pretty) and started with a PD=1.0 to see if there is a change.

 

Boom - solid 72fps in most areas. In crowded areas the AWS falls back to 32 - as it should.

 

Very, very nice! VR with 72 fps blows me away. No more vertigo or motion sickness. Everything is silky smooth.

 

Now I will carefully increase PD to a value until the 72fps can't be done anymore and then I go back to the sweet spot.

 

I think I can sell my Track IR 5...

To be honest, I think you just got default ASW, and now it works.

 

Not to say "I told you so", but, I told you so..

:P :D

 

Good you got it working. :) :thumbup:

Uh.. learned something else this Sunday morning...

 

Don‘t even think of a VR session when hung over!

 

Must remember that...
