HoneyBadger Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 I'm experiencing pretty bad performance in VR but I can't afford to upgrade my entire system right now, so I can really only upgrade one component, what do you recommend? My specs are: AMD 5950X RTX 3080ti 32GB DRR4 3200Mhz DCS installed onto NVMe Running the Quest 3 headset, targeting 45FPS
speed-of-heat Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 Processor would be my guess, but honestly I'd look at your operating system hygiene and settings first 1 SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
Dodge Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 As stated, system hygiene and settings. However, from your hardware specification listing, I would look at upgrading your RAM to 64GB. 1 Regards, Paul "Dodge / LondonLad / ChemoBrain" SYSTEM SPECS: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x , 64GB 3600MHz RAM, ASUS ROG Strix X570-F Gaming, NVIDIA RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB GDDR6, IIYAMA 34" Curved GB3466WQSU Monitor, VPC WarBRD-D Base, VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Grip, VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle, VPC Control Panel #2, VPC ACE Interceptor Pedals, TM MFD w/CUBESIM (x2), PointCTRL, HP Reverb G2 VR Headset | Back up: NVIDIA RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6, Thrustmaster HOTAS Throttle, VKB Pedals (v4), Oculus Quest 2 VR Headset, & TrackIR Group: DCAF (Now Left, but a great group to be apart of - UK Based)
zildac Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 (edited) Any stats on your VRAM usage? Could be worth looking at the DCS optimised textures tool: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/357233-dcs-optimized-textures-powershell-script/ Also as @speed-of-heat says. System hygiene, especially extraneous running processes or background utils.

My specs are: AMD 5950X RTX 3080ti 32GB DRR4 3200Mhz DCS installed onto NVMe Running the Quest 3 headset, targeting 45FPS DCS is having a lot of performance issues right now, so I'd recommend not upgrading. You have a pretty beefy system and should run DCS fine when it is performing correctly. Don't waste your money friend 1 2020 Rig Chasse: bequiet!

Steel Jaw Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 I would sit tite as noted due to poor dcs performance...but for vr if I was pushed I'd say gpu.

My specs are: AMD 5950X RTX 3080ti 32GB DRR4 3200Mhz DCS installed onto NVMe Running the Quest 3 headset, targeting 45FPS Given that you should easily be able to reach 45 FPS in VR with this setup, I assume you don't want to sacrifice eye candy. From that conclusion the upgrade path is an easy choice. Go for a GPU upgrade. Other than that. If you don't want to save up for a platform upgrade, just for VR, the 5800X3D would be roughly 20-25% upgrade to CPU-frametimes and 64 GB do never hurt.
