VR Discussions, Questions & Feedback

Just easier to compare resolutions though. With steam VR hardly any excuse since it is shown in the settings. On oculus it is not though.

Although, perhaps we should mention the Hz too.

Let's just all calculate the pixels per second handled by the HMD

 

I’m thinking of buying a VR headset, the plan is that i switch from VR to monitor and back, because i cannot play inVR always.
Do i have to change graphics settings and fiddling all the time?

 

No, thankfully AMS2 have separate settings for VR and monitor

 

Just as a quick update. Managed to get 90fps sorted with most eye candy with my G2… except night lights of course.

forcing DX11 mode in WMR (in headset) really helped.

as previous posts, but Turned MSAA to medium and shadows from ultra to high.

150% SS in steam per-game (100 global), FSR 0.7 render scale, 0.3 radius and 0.9 sharpness (0.5 in openvraettings.xml)

 

you mean certainly graphicsconfigopenvrdx11.xml, don't you?
And then sharpeningstrength?

 

Forcing DX11 mode in WMR helped for me as well! Thanks @Rob Davies

 

Is there a way to access this menu without a controller?

Hi to all,

I have the Oculus CV1 and a RTX 2080 to play AMS2. This combination runs fine, I can get 90 fps with a combination of settings which nets me a spare GPU load to account for weather changes. Not always 90 fps in heavy rain combined with night racing but close enough for my liking.

I want to buy the HP Reverb G2 headset, but I will still run it with my 2080 until GPU prices drop in order to get a 3080/6800XT at a more sensible price, so I need some advise from people who are using the G2 with not the latest GPU gen.

Mainly, I want the G2 for better clarity and visuals, still holding 90 fps if possible, so I will need to reduce visual settings on the game, and render resolution aswell with the 2080. By doing so, someone can tell me if, at the end, visuals will be better than those I have now with the CV1?

For the record, I don't run supersampling in the game, only MSAA to High. I use the Oculus Debug tool to set supersampling from 1 to 1.2, depending the track and weather conditions.

Lately I was experimenting with Steam VR mode and the modified library with FSR support, and it runs very well with Steam VR supersampling at 150/170% (sorry, I don't remember right now the exact resolution) and FSR quality settings. Still some shimmering on fences and shadows, but my brain has adjusted to that since some time ago so not a big deal when racing.

Thank you!!

 

I took the same leap as you and it's another world, the resolution is incredible.

 

I went from Q1 to G2 with a 2070 powering things and it’s a big leap. You either run reprojection work more candy or higher supersampling, or 90fps with little candy and lower SS…. Either way it’s a personal preference but you’ll be ok with the 2080 and have a (in regards to your GPU upgrade) future proof headset.

 

Thank you both for responding, I'll take the G2 then

 

Just a Heads Up for Quest 2 drivers. The latest software (v33) has added a sharpening option for Link and AirLink. It is awesome! You won't need the AMS2 ini file tweak anymore. For me the sharpening looks more detailed.
You'll need the update on both the headset and the Oculus PC app. It's rolling out, so be patient

 

I have a question about the startup sequence in steam with a Reverb G2 Most of the time everything runs really good. But sometimes there is something off and i have really low FPS.
Maybe i do something wrong on startup?

Also sometimes the gamescreen on my monitor is in the corner of my desktop in small window but another time this is a stretched full screen.

How do i have to start everything?
I’m new to VR so all help will be appreciated.

 

Sorry if this is a double post. How can I display FPS in Reverb G2 headset while playing AM2?

 

fpsVR on Steam
Integrates with Steam VR menu.

 

Thank you very much. I'll give it a go.

 

Another quick question. Is there a way to remove Reverb G2 speakers? Even with them swiveled out the way I can't use my headphones as they get in the way.

Then than brutally ripping them off, of course

 

Undo the screw on the inside. I prefer them to headphones so left mine on. Audio quality is good. Less hassle. Not having something pushing on your ears is more immersive and more comfortable.

Steamvr has a built in performance overlay you can enable in the settings. No need to buy an app for it.
