conura Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Hello guys, I'm currently flying on a 34" 100hz ultra wide which I love, having sold my Rift S. I loved the immersion of the Rift, but I didn't enjoy the clarity. The reverb G2 is coming out soon, and I'm tempted to pre order it now. The thing which concerns me is my GPU. I have a 2080ti, which whilst I understand is currently the best available, is going to become far weaker when the 30x series is released soon. My question is, will my system (RTX 2080ti, 32GB ddr4, 9700k), allow me to push the G2 at medium settings with some (maybe 1.3) ss above 45fps? 45fps I can manage find, I did 40 with the rift s, so if I can sustain that I'd be very happy. Can anyone who runs the current Reverb or something similar please comment? In addition, will it be a significant upgrade in terms of clarity from the Rift S? Thanks :)
OPEC Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Close but it could work. Your GPU is not the weakest link here, but the CPU. You will have to go for at least 5 Ghz to reach that FPS out of my experiance. I myself run DCS on mostly medium settings with a G1, and get somewhat between 40 and 50 FPS, depending on flightlevel, is there a big city or whatever.... So basically - the more details there are, the lower your framerate. But in general - yes, that is possible. Exept on the syria map, forget about that right away. Oh and yes, its Night and Day compared to the rift. Honestly. I had a rift before and the difference is unbelivable.

It progresses rapidly with the speed of the Tornado development progress. It will be released at the Tornado release date. Support your local Getränkemarkt.

Cutting edge hardware struggling for 40fps. Is this an issue with the DCS engine, or just the power required for the reverb? I think on this basis I'll wait til mid next year and continue using the 34" superwide til then. Perhaps with new CPUs / GPUs and DCS upgrades it'll be easier to know what to buy. Thanks :)

You may have read here in the forum that there is a development ongoing for the vulkan engine. Thats the engine that hopefulle will improve VR signgficantly. The current engine is in no way optimised for VR. It works, but is extremly hardware hungry. Meaning - DCS is not using multi threading with the CPU and thats as far as i know the biggest bottleneck. So the only way to get FPS up is to overclock your CPU beyond anything healty because it uses only one or two cores. If i would have know that earlier I would have gone for an Intel that is not an I9 and has a better TDP than the I9 so I could clock higher. But... You know. I too do hope that we might get the new enginen and or multi core support in 2021, but i would not hold my breath for it. And yes - It's completly nuts. I paid back in the day more than 3.5K for my system and i get 40 FPS. Edited August 26, 2020 by OPEC The Tornado is being developed by as many people as the Tornado Development Team contains.

The new Microsoft FS2020 seems quite well optimised, so whilst DCS might be a struggle, maybe I can sustain a decent FPS on that with medium settings. Thank you :)

Thank you :) I won´t expect better experience (in FPS terms) on MS2020 VR than on DCS. Time will tell.
