Oculus Rift and DCS World Discussion

[hansangb]

I hope the 10X increase from Titan X translates to gaming performance as well. And hey, why stop there, you can drop $15K USD and get Digits DevBox with four builtin Pascal cards! :)

 

But if the game performance - especially for VR FPS - is better, I'll sell my titan X and grab the Pascal unit. I usually recycle my video cards at steep discount so it shouldn't be a problem upgrading. Everything is lining up for 2016! VR, better DCS, better Nvidia...can't wait!!

whose going for a GP100 (Nvidia titan Y) when it drops in april?

 

you have a link? :smilewink:

Probably, I have a Rift coming in March, but still waiting to upgrade my 580GTX. I was waiting for the next generation Pascal or AMD gpu, and buy whichever one is better for DCS and VR. The Titans are very expensive so I usually by a GTX, but the GTX model of the Pascal family won't be out for months, so if I want to use my Rift as soon as possible, I will probably have to buy the very expensive Pascal Titan. I have no interest in buying the 980ti GTX. Hopefully AMD pulls are rabbit out of the hat soon, but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.:noexpression:

 

edit....I could buy the EVGA 980ti with their upgrade program....BUT you have to time it right...as the upgrade program only lasts for three months.

Any estimates on how much GP100 will cost?

I'd like to get one but if it's more expensive than CV1 then it will have to wait.

I'm also waiting for new AMD or Intel cpu's.

i7's have been around for 7 years now and I refuse to build a new PC with outdated tech.

Devs REALLY need to get cracking on SLI support for the edge engine now. With OR on the horizon SLI support is absolutely necessary now.

 

SLi wont help you, as it is CPU force the Rift needs...

this is very true and also the same problem we have in Nvidia 3dvision

The Pascal Titan would probably be around twice the price of a Rift. Very expensive.:noexpression:

No - you have to manually adjust your eyepoint position. There's a guide around here somewhere, and I asked this specific question some time ago, to which I received a meaningful reply linking the guide - my reply isn't as helpful.

 

However, I do remember (FTMP) how to do it. First you hit R-Shift and R-CTRL PLUS your KP Arrow keys, 2,4,6,8 to go down, left, right, up, respectively. RSHFT+RCTRL+ KP (-) and KP (*) move you out and in IIRC. THEN, MOST IMPORTANTLY, you MUST hit RALT+ KP (0) to get it to save your eyepoint position.

 

Sometimes you have to go out and then come back into the cockpit to activate it...at least I have experienced this on occasion. It also remembers your eyepoint by plane when you save it correctly.

 

GL! :pilotfly:

 

That sounds like a lot of hassle! Luckily, ED just said they're improving the VR interface in DCS, which probably means it'll be easier to setup and use in DCS. :)

Where is this? I need to catch up on my news, and if you have a link for ED comments, I'd appreciate it.

 

The VR interface isn't the best, such is life. Adjusting the cockpit eyepoint isn't a hassle, and it's set and forget once you have it to your liking. I just turn off the Oculus when I want to use the mission planner and put it back on when I am planning to fly. It's not too bad...though the MP screen needs some attention :joystick:

as the previous titan cards, its probably going to be 1000$.

i definitely will buy one.

i dont think i can wait until 2017 for a GTX 1080Ti.

i can get a 980Ti right now in the 650$ range as a place holder, but once 1080Ti arrives, i basically will be throwing away 650$ if im going to buy a 1080Ti. Rather just spend 1000$ for the 2016 Titan, and not have throw away 650$, but only loose 350$ as an early adopter for the 2016 Titan should the 2016 Titan be comparable to the 1080Ti. (because in late 2017, a new archecture ~volta will be out)

brother.. you need to make some youtube videos of you playing with your elaborate setup!!

Has anyone tried the new Samsung Oculus with DCS or the new Microsoft Hololens?

[joebloggs]

Does anyone know if the soon to be released Titian GP100 will run DCS at a constant 75FPS in the Rift and Nevada map? I'd hate to think I was going to purchase a card this expensive only to find out DSC has some type of limit regarding FPS.

[DerekSpeare]

https://semiaccurate.com/2016/02/01/news-of-nvidias-pascal-tapeout-and-silicon-is-important/

 

It may not be as soon as people are hoping.

 

75 FPS is capped. However, it's the ability to run at 75 FPS AT ALL TIMES is what you want. More GPU+CPU = The more you stay at 75 FPS. The new Oculus is expected to run at 90 and I'd suppose VR titles will run at that speed if the hardware can push it. Judder/blinking is when you can't get 75.

what is locked at 75 FPS? my card runs DCSW well over 75

Yeah I'm getting between 90-120FPS running surround (5760x1080), but i'd suspect the Rift is a different kettle of fish when it comes to pushing large resolutions...

[hansangb]

This is a Rift thread, after all. Recently, DCS raised the FPS to 90 (95?) for Rift. Currently, you can't get past 75FPS in Rift. At least i don't recall going above it.

[DerekSpeare]

This thread is about using the Oculus. What kind of frame rates people are getting without it is a separate matter. I get 500+ when not using it. It doesn't go past 75 when it is on as a function of the way it all works.

Favorite Module in DCS with Oculus

 

My favorite is the M-2000C by Razbam.

I don't think this effects the Titain GP100, does it? I heard this should be out around April, but the price point :helpsmilie:

[Rocky49]

We have no idea what the C1 version will do in DCSW but I am confident that my rig will get more that 90 FPS when I get my C1, that was my point.

[joebloggs]

@Rocky- Do you get a constant 75FPS in the Nevada map using DK2? I'm not just talking about free flight either. I really struggle with a Geforce 970 on the Nevade map and my Geforce 970 is overclocked to a stock Geforce 980.

 

Edit - I also have an I7 6700k Overclocked to 4,6Ghz & 16 GB of Corsaur Vengeance DDR4.

 

I'm intrested to know why you think you will get 90 FPS when I can't? Do you think it's down to the Graphics card?

Edited February 6, 2016 by joebloggs

[Rocky49]

I think that a lot of optimization will take place inside DCSW for the rift plus there is not sense in comparing DK2 with the C1

[DerekSpeare]

If one uses an Oculus DK2 you can never exceed 75fps. The CV1 is expected to run at 90hz so 90 FPS will be the max. If you're running oceans of supercomputers you will get 90 FPS. That's it.

 

Comparing frame rates with and without the use of the Oculus is not possible in any meaningful sense.
