Oculus Rift and DCS World Discussion

[SkateZilla]

As I Posted Previously, w/ SteamVR:

 

w/ 1 7970 GPU, SteamVR Said I was "capable", w/ 2 I was in the lower section of "Ready", w/ 3 GPUs I was peggged to the edge of "Ready",

 

The Rendered Frames was a difference of about 700 Frames. so the 2nd GPU didnt do much but add maybe a lil less than 10% more Frames Rendered, the 3rd added another 500 or so, however the quality of the rendering increased.

1 GPU: 9,007 Frames (Med/Low Quality)

2 GPU: 9,717 Frames (High Quality)

3 GPU: 10,020 Frames (Very high Quality)

 

Also, AFAIK,. the Oculus Runtime Does not Support SLi, Crossfire, or nVidia Optimus (GPU Switching).

 

Here's to hoping Oculus themselves integrate Per Eye/SplitScreen/Side By Side multi-gpu rendering.

 

DX11 Supports it, so It's a matter of integrating into the Actual Oculus SDK and Runtime.

 

Not sure if DCS will Run Multi-GPU direct to Rift, Will check my GPU's This weekend. (Adapter was Left in my Mailbox a Day early, but I am working long shifts the next 2 days)

 

So the Biggest Beefiest Single GPU is Recommended, along with a CPU w/ Single Thread/IPC Hgih Enough to Manage and Process the Doubled Up DirectX 11 Commands.

 

Once Both Manufacturers release their new GPU's this summer, I'll hit up clearance to upgrade to a Fury or FuryX Likely, as the HBM will greatly help w/ VR.

My PC scored an 11 on the Vive test and passed the Oculus test as well, but there are still times when in DCS that the frames get bogged down to < 40 over dense "urban" areas.

 

I wonder if implementing SLI and Multi/Hyperthreading could help!

SLI is in works.

Pretty sure both tests are generic and actually state per application performance may vary.

This is another fantastic review again seems Oculus is more refined if the two companies came together they could make one amazing headset with all the features of both.

- Yes, hence another reason to support a VR subforum

- I'd fear then, that TrackIR people would want one, too...then we'd have cats and dogs living together in no time...

 

I'm just happy to have DCS working with the Oculus v1.3 runtimes. It's really great to have it, and gives such a wonderful user experience. I look forward to the improvements as they come!

 

Happy flying! :pilotfly:

Actually I took his comments to be asking if his system would be good enough for Rift and running DCS World, I know he is a DCS World player, so makes sense... in that case of course that is on topic here.

Thanks SiTh.....yes, my CV1 would be used exclusively for DCS.

 

Cheers guy's, some really good answers here, thanks a lot.

 

EDIT

 

I just ran the Steam VR test and all checks out :)

 

However I will have to upgrade and install more USB 3.0 ports as I only have 3 at the moment.

 

and another issue...

 

Their Compatibility Tool is Super Strict, Like Extremely Strict.

 

On that note, the MAJOR Issue that alot of people are runnning into is USB3 controllers,

ASMedia and Eltron are extremely problematic, Eltron USB3 drivers will blue screen your system either immediately after you plug in the HMD, or it will lock up the driver and you're system's USB3 ports will no longer detect devices as they are attached or removed, and eventually blue screen when the driver times out.

 

When I ran the test on the OR site it also flagged up about my USB's it's response was.....

"Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller"

 

now I'm not sure what this is but if I added an extra PCI-E USB card to get some extra USB ports, would this eliminate the issue?

 

Excuse my ignorance on PC hardware, I can get by on the usual stuff but this is getting a bit cloudy now!!
