pixie Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I have just bought a Rift-S to try VR on my gaming PC. The experience has been overwhelming on titles such as Alyx or Elite Dangerous. But after having tried DCS F/A-18C , I am somehow disapointed. The cockpit is gorgeous to look at, it really feels I'm "there", the sense of flying is fantastic, but the scenery is a big let down to me. I haven't touched the settings yet, but it seems the details have been really tone down in order to make the sim running decently. I believe my computer is now on the low end for any simmer enthusiast. So far I have the following hardware : ryzen 5 3600 32 GB of RAM 8GB GTX1070 oculus rift S Is there a magic video setting I'm missing in DCS config page ? Any advice from ppl with a similar low end computer ? There must be a sweetspot somewhere in the graphic panel. For now I'm back with my trusty track IR, but it feels I'm missing something. Thank you for your advices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'm on a Rift S, same processor and RAM but on a 1070Ti. Yes, you're going to have to dial back the settings compared to a flat screen. For me, I much prefer the 1:1 movement of a VR headset. The other thing I do is run Oculus Tray Tool to raise my PD to 1.3 to 1.4. Try this guide and get some improvement in frames. I do not use the shader mod however: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyrAIhXFpv0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svsmokey Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just replaced the 1070 that ran my Rift S for a year . I consider the 1070 to be barely adequate , with no headroom for SS at the DCS settings i used . Enjoy it until you can upgrade to something better . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I will certainly replace my GPU at some point , but not right now. ATM, I'm selling the Rift S, because its very narrow IPD was giving me too much headaches and one blurry eye vision. Got myself the Quest 2 which is much much better regarding this aspect, but I believe is even more power hungry.

pixie Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 FWIW, I have managed a decent VR experience on my gtx 1070. A few steps were essentials : -RiftS was sold for a Quest2 , not a performance issue but an IPD one, believe me, software IPD adjustement is worthless. -Installation of VR moded shaders as available on this forum, -Running Oculus Tray Tool, ASW locked on 30Hz, Quest link set on GTX1070 preset template I wish I had a better definition or pixel density, but at least everything is running smooth now, I can fly low altitude (F/A-18C) over cities or forest, and turning my head on the side of the cockpit without chopiness. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
