I dropped everything in the graphics settings to the lowest setting possible, and I’m still getting constant stutters every .5-2 seconds as I’m flying. Head movement is a bit jittery, but everything outside the cockpit is constantly stuttering.
My system:
i7 7770
3070 latest drivers
16 gig RAM
Oculus Quest 2 using link
Weirdly my performance improves 100% if I alt-tab out of FS, no idea why but it’s smooth as butter when it’s not focused. Moment I alt-tab back in my performance takes a nose dive. Feels like it should be the exact opposite of this
I can a echo this. Performance is woeful on the Index with default low settings on a 10900k and 3080. Never seen anything like it. Far worse than DCS was 2 years ago.
I thought it was just my setup (3990k + gtx1080ti) but I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad that people with much better rigs than my own are having the same experience
I mean this doesn’t suprise me.
Mostly everyone can’t maintain 60fps without VR.
In VR its much more graphically intensive.
I know they wanted to get VR done, but they really should focus on improving FPS for everyone before we start adding stuff like VR.
Also they should take a leaf out of X-Planes book, they render the cockpit seperatley to the sim, so looking around the cockpit is 90fps but outside can be lower.
I have the 10700k, 3080 ftw3, and the Reverb G2 and VR looks great! Yes, graphics take a hit but it’s smooth and immersive. I am getting great FPS and smooth flying so far.
Happy it’s released for everyone, no major complaints here with 3080 + Pimax 5K+ after 150hrs of flying exclusively in VR. Just have to keep your expectations realistic.
That video proves that you should never preorder anything. Gagged until post release of VR to mask the reality that it performs terribly and needs effects turned off entirely, with render scaling at 70%, and even then you get “ground judder”.
This is the SteamVR performance graph before any environment is even being rendered.
That makes so much sense … as well as being able to control with multiple monitors, is a given monitor is displaying only Cockpit, outside cockpit only, or both
NB: there is a lot of material and explanations which are applying to more than just the Index. I’m preparing an equivalent discussion for the Reverb G2 more specifically. You might find some conclusions in the discussion are not agreeing with what the video posted above is showing.
Please see the discussion which I’ve posted a link above. With the Index you have to use 90Hz to get the best frame time and the less spikes. It might be a bug in the SteamVR OpenXR driver implementation or just FS2020 only expecting people to run HMD at 90Hz.
Granted I only have a GTX 1080, but with graphics on their lowest possible settings and flying in open desert I am getting too much judder and stutter that I feel sick. I try it again in 5 years.
