VR DCS is better optimized for Win7 than Win10

Recommended Posts

After several experiments with using CV1 & Rift S in both Win7 & Win10. It is obvious that DCS performs better in Windows 7. Something about Win10 is dragging performance down the toilet in VR. They're equal on a monitor, but not in VR...

interesting; would You be so kind and show us screenshots of CPU (per core) and GPU utilization in both cases?

What is your "performance" evaluation?

 

Windows 7 doesn't support the Oculus Asynchronous Spacewarp, meaning you will not see the smoothing effects, but you will have lower frame rate.

 

And visually looking a Asynchronous Spacewarp disabled can give a illusion that all runs better, as brain can start to fill missing frames since 15 FPS and up.

Screen shots don't show anything. You have to see it in the headset while playing...

I've checked frame rates on Win7pro x64 vs Win10pro x64 using the same settings. Win10 is about 1 or two frames slower, but the main difference is that moving visuals distort in Win10. This effect isn't in Win7 at all...

And I have told you why, several times now.

 

ASW does not work in Win7.

ASW is auto enabled in Win10 when FPS fall below 90.

ASW introduces distortions.

You can turn ASW off, if you like.

Cause Win7 dosent support ASW

OK, I finally seen evidence in Windows 10 that what you described works. Sorry for giving you a hard time. Oculus should put text that indicates that a change has indeed occured. Thanks!

Right... Rift doesn't run on Windows 7. The software refuses to run. Minimum requirements say Windows 10. You might get the CV1 to run on Windows 7... but the Rift S? nope.

I believe that was done to help MS get people to switch to Windows 10, I had my CV1 before I had all the hardware required to meet the minimum requirements and it ran just fine...So, I believe that the Rift S is being prevented from running on Win7 not because it can't, but rather because they don't want it to...It's being actively blocked from running in much the same way the App checks if you have some KB installed and won't start if it doesn't but you can block that check and force it to run anyway...;) I know it's a conspiracy theory, but I believe it's true...Too many other software and hardware run just fine in Win7 and Win10 that it's can't be legit...

I never said the hardware was incapable of running on Win 7. But if Oculus wont' allow the software that is required to use the headset to run on Windows 7.. you can't use it on Windows 7.
