Bob Morton Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hello, I have a 2080 ti graphics card, which is still pretty good. My processor is an i7-6700k 4ghz. I want to get better performance in VR. What would be the best bang for the buck? Thank you!

edmuss Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hardware wise. Based on you using the rift S and not intending to upgrade it immediately, I'd say CPU and motherboard. My 3070 can run my old Lenovo explorer (slightly higher resolution than the rift S) at almost 90 fps all the time but in order to do that you also need a CPU that's capable of driving DCS fast enough to keep up. For reference, your 2080ti should be about the same performance; I did see a significant uplift from switching from my 3600@4.3ghz to the 5800X3D. Depending on budget and urgency I'd look at either a 12th gen Intel or wait till the Ryzen 7000 series drops. Software wise. Have a look at running the openxr runtimes and making sure that your system is properly optimised.

Eaglewings Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Edmuss is quite on point with those recommendations.I upgraded to a 3070 form a 1060 recently but kept my old i5 7600k and it looks like I am cpu bound now with the Samsung Odyssey plus headset.OpenXR Toolkit has helped tremendously, however fps report from openxr always says cpu bound in area that are demanding in dcs.Your 2080ti is on par with the 3070 performance-wise but better in vram department so that gpu should be alright. Waiting for the new ryzens cpu and raptor lake to drop to upgrade the cpu.
