OculusDash.exe using 80% of my GPU, BEFORE opening DCS

[Mr_sukebe]

Note: this is NOT related to an issue with DCS, though it could certainly be creating one.

 

I've just booted my PC, and opened Oculusdash.  I couldn't help but notice that OculusDash.exe is using circa 80% of my GPU resources (i.e. it's processing power, NOT it's VRAM or rendering capability).

If that's true, that's going to be severely impacting available GPU resources for DCS.

Anyone else seeing this?

I've already raised an issue to Oculus on their website.

Edit: have just tried using SteamVRLink, and that's reporting as being even worse, i.e. at 90%.

I'm assuming that those GPU numbers can't be right.

Nobody else experiencing this?

maybe it is a crypto miner or similar. what did you use to check your GPU Usage? I can check my steam link..

I don't see this. Not sure if it's the same but have you tried using oculus tray tool to disable oculus home? 

[Mr_sukebe]

I do have my Oculus home disabled.  
Task manager is showing the Oculus Dashboard as eating my GPU resources.  
Rather bizarrely, I was happily able to fly my Hind around the Kola map in VR.

Hopefully the Oculus support team can shed some light on the findings from the Oculus log files that I sent them.

That's weird. I hope you get it sorted. Which version of quest link are you using?

Have your tried using Virtual Desktop to see how it compares? 

[Silvera]

I have a script disabling the oculus dash which increases performance. You may want to check that one. I don't experience the same though but oculus dash is just eating resources in the background.

Do you have a link to the script?

 

I don’t have VirtDesktop, so can’t test it.  Quite happy using a link cable

[Silvera]

oculus dash enable-disable.rar

To disable it simply use the one for it. After you exit DCS use the other one to enable.

Might be obvious but have you tried rebooting your PC?

yep

[slughead]

Are you using the PTC version or normal release version? Either way, perhaps try switching to one or the other.

[Mr_sukebe]

I’ll go check, thanks.

One point I spotted yesterday was that the GPU usage dropped whilst opening/leaving DCS.

That suggests to me that the workload generated by the Dashboard outside of any games is disabled when jumping into a game.  It would also explain why my frame rate is generally fine.
