Any ideas please

[Bolerus]

I have a quest 2, and play loads.

Also have a couple of pc vr games , elite dangerous being the main one.

I had a Rx 580. Which was ok but occasionally jittered. So bought a 1080 ti. Installed it. Played a couple of games to test,. Then for the quest 2 connected up and fired up elite.
After about a minute it locks....tried a few times with different variations of the connections...(wired, wireless etc) same every time. Star wars squadrons exactly the same.


Any ideas at all...I am thinking power. I'm using a cheaper end evga 600 watt (just agreed a 1000 watt from members market).
The pc spec is. Ryzen 3700x.16 gig ram.

Any suggestions would be welcome

Are you overclocking either the CPU or GPU?

nope, not at all

i would've thought 600W was enough for a 1080ti
If the locking has only appeared since installing a new gpu, i'd suspect the gpu.

i dint mention - although i thought it at time of writing. the 600 psu has 2 8 pin pcie but they are both on the same rail /cable so perhaps its not getting enough through there?

playing the same game without the VR seems to be ok though. trhinking that it may be the link cable taking more power, i conected via air link... the pc is upstairs on a powerline adapter, so i expected a bad performance, but that was the same, locked after about 1 - 2 minutes

I also suspect the GPU but I want to eliminate as much as possible before going down that route

the psu is :-

Evga 600 W1, 80+ White 600W​

doesent mention bronze, silver or otherwise ( does that mean its below bronze)

the one i am buying ( well have bought , just waiting for) is Evga 1000w gold modular

presumably the new one is far superior to the old one, and hopefully will be able to cope
