Guys, VR optimization announced in DCSW weekend news ! Woohoo !

Great news, although I hope it’s not just the mod that a lot of people use. I really don’t like the visuals when using that.

80% increase is almost double.

 

does that mean we can see almost double the details with the Pro?

 

You have 80% more pixels - 4.61m compared to 2.59m - in the same space, so, yes you will see 80% more detail given the same settings for PD, SS etc.

But remember, because you’re pushing around all those extra pixels, the Pro puts a lot more strain on your hardware.

HTC Vive settings help

 

Hi

 

I have an Intel 6700K@4.5, EVGA GTX1080FTW, SSD and 32 fast ram!

 

For the love of me I can’t get passed 30fps with the Vive in all scenarios!

 

I notice that the Vive software has been updated and have no clue how to tinker with it! Res is at 100%.

 

Any ideas on DCS and Vive settings to use?

 

Thanks!

Don’t want to be pedantic guys, but this is a Vive PRO (vs Rift) thread. Why don’t you start a new Vive one on this topic?

I would like to chime in here. While it is true you have 80% more pixels and thus 80% more overhead in performance needed to attain the same FPS you only get 20% more sub pixels. Each pixel on the Vive Pro/Oddessy has only 2 sub pixels instead of 3 like on the Rift- this is called a pentile display(2.3 million pixels per eye vs 1.3 million, but only 4.6million sub pixels vs 3.8million). This is like the first old OLED cell phone screens. I have used them and you can tell. Pentile displays looks much worse then RGB displays of the same resolution. This personally bothered me enough i returned the headset straight away. As always YMMV.
