WindyTX Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Originally I said the GTX 1080 was waste of money but was asked to do some tests with Pixel Density. I wrote at the end of my original post as well. Mods feel free to delete this new thread but I thought it may be of interest on its own. OK I ran some tests. 1.53 latest beta Settings All set low preset then I changed Medium Textures Medium Visible Range MSAA 4 Anti aliasing Off Clutter minimum and Trees at 1500 Flat Shadows 1st on F15c instant action ( I used this because the Vive hated this one and Pixel 2.0 I got 90-45-30fps for 95% dropped to 10 FPS as the bombs hit the airfield. Card ran up to 100% during that time and was averaging nearly 50% so about 15% more utilization. Pixel 0 results were almost the same frame rate wise just less utilization still dropped to 10 FPS and maxed out the Card . I could see no perceptible difference in the cockpit. Ran 2.0 on A10c instant action wow I can read the hud. Frame rates stuck at 45-90fps Utilization of the 1080 was running around 60% around the town. When I fly the A10c I will definitely be increasing the pixel density it looks to be an almost no cost Item with a GTX 1080 Multiplayer on the 104th server Frame rates 30-90 no judder looked great Pixel 2.0 and on looking more carefully even the F15c was clearer shame I cant read Russian for the SU27 Overall it was a great VR time especially in the A10c with Pixel density 2.0 I have been using VR for 2 years and to finally be able to read the A10 HUD was a godsend. The only Judder I got was when the bombs hit the Airfield May have maxed out my Processor.

JaBoG32_Prinzartus Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Hi Andrew! i assume you are not running your GtX 1080 in Pci-e 3.0 x16 mode, are you? You may check via GPU-Z tool.

WindyTX Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Just checked my motherboard says PCIE 3.0 ready I may need to upgrade my Bios as its running at 2.0 Doh my chip only supports PCIe 2.0. DK2 is a lot easier to run than Cv1 I had to lower stuff when I got it going. I will try some higher settings though as of now Pixel density 2.0 is the winner.

adrianstealth Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Cheers andrew it was me that asked for the pixel test Although I think maybe 2.0 is a tad high, 1.7 is enough for me Hey make sure you put an over clock on your CPU pretty sure you can run higher providing you have good cooling , makes all the difference especially now you have a monster gpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyTX Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Air cooled only so I found I got unstable above 4.2. Board and chip are nearly 4 years old though so its past time but the thing has been so reliable I have stuck with it. It is certainly getting to its final year tho :) Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk I7 3930 4.2GHz ( Hyperthreading Off), GTX1080, 16 GB ddr3 Hotas Warthog Saiteck Combat Pedals HTC Vive, Oculus CV1.

_Dredd Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 3930k is fine, get a corsair cpu cooler or if you're game go with open loop and.clock that baby a little higher. As long as your board runs stable voltages you should be good up to 4.6ghz. I believe there's no definitive tests as yet that show measured cpu bottlencking as yet, which includes Intel 5th gen.

WindyTX Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Ran high settings flat shadows msaa 2 anti aliasing 4 pixel density 2.0 managed to get 100% utilization of the GTX1080 occasionally, but the ATW was working hard and saw occasional frame rates of 23/30 usually 45 sometimes 90 tho' no Judder. Not sure where the best balance is. Can read all the guages now. Did some dogfighting in the 16AGR sometimes lost the aspect of the target and lost tally in the blue but its usable at these settings.

I'm surprised you got such good performance on ATI/AMD R9 290X. That means we should take seriously in consideration RX 480 8GB for 230$. When RX 490 get out will kick ass for 300$. I'm curious about real gameplay benchmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I found that my card was downclocked during flight. So insteed of the clock rate going up and down, I now have a steady clock speed.:thumbup: Anotherthing is ofc heat... Cool down your card as hard as you can.... last but not least.... OC your card... and plz do take the time to do it right, or you probl end you with less power than before OC...

adrianstealth Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Download the oculus dev tools from oculus website Look in that folder -you'll see the debut tool Open it & set the pixel to 1.5 or whatever Keep it running in background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raz_Specter Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 many thanks, ill test this when i get home. I am supprised though that this is required, why doesnt Oculus detext which card you have and set this setting accordingly. but thanks for the infomration Cheers Myth Custom built W10 Pro 64Bit, Intel Core i9 9900k, Asus ROG Maximus Code XI Z390, 64GB DDR4 3200 RGB, Samsung 1TB NVme M.2 Drive, Gigabyte AORUS 2080TI, 40" Iiyama Display.

I have the same videocard and an I5 4690K @ 4.3 ghz and I can only afford to set textures to medium, visible distance to medium, trees to 5500 and everything else turned down/ off. Fps is often at 45 fps which is very playable but from a hardware standpoint, not impressive. Edited June 19, 2016 by RagingBunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomCatMucDe Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Is it possible to increase the pixel density in the Vive as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianstealth Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi all I'll be getting a gtx 1080 tomorrow Hoping for a super smooth DCS experience ( in CV1 ) I think we must keep pixel density to the minimum possible but high enough for A fairly decent image = 1.4 ?? Really hoping that a DCS update will increase utilisation of this new monster gpu hardware Any tips to reduce those annoying micro-load pauses when flying in close to a new town ?

NeilWillis Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 According to the latest video from Wags, the support for VR will be for both Rift and Vive, so you should be able to alter pixel density for the Vive too, but until we get the update, it will not be possible to say whether that Vive support is a future intention, or something we will see right away. We can only wait and see what comes, and hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianstealth Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 thanks neils that sounds good, I'm new here so the update coming is that perhaps (guestimate) next year or next month ? i have zero idea of update frequency in dcs , I know in software some things take a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
