I'm going to get that card at one point in the next 2-3 months along with a Vive or Oculus Rift.

yup. Also, welcome in advance to the Viveside

So will a 1080ti paired with a Ryzen 1800X be ok for me to play Elite Dangerous on Ultra Settings?

Well you would be able to play at higher settings than me and im on a 1080FE and FX8350

Good to know. Thanks

Sounds like the main thing people want from a 1080Ti is supersampling, but isn't supersampling from SteamVR broke now?

I remember lots of people complaining about supersampling giving worse picture quality than 1.0 not too long ago?

It was broke in the beta but works fine in standard steamvr.

I have the MSI 1080ti Sea Hawk X with my Rift and it rocks. Far better performance than my old GTX 1080.

Awesome. Don't forget to report as soon as you have tried it

I'm going to wait and see what the performance of Vega is like. I may be tempted to get a 1080ti though. I'd mainly use it for ED on my Vive.

Hopefully my CPU wouldn't represent a bottleneck.

danoliver1 · 15 Apr 2017 at 14:46

OHHH YEAHHHHHH.

Had a quick go of Ed and project cars and wow what a difference 1.6 super sampling, no aa, eveything on ultra/high, smooth as a babys bum.

Sorry for the thread bump, but I thought it was better than starting a new one as it’s (kind of) relevant.
My current PC is a r9-290 and a fx8350, it’s on the low side for VR gaming but it serves me well.

Just how bad would the bottleneck be in VR if I put a 1080ti in the there to pair with my fx8350?

I got an EVGA 1080ti FTW3 recently mainly so I can supersample VR. It makes a huge difference to the image quality.

I never had an issue with any game I tried in VR (rift) on an FX8350 when running a 1080 and then later a 1080TI

Great news, thanks a lot. Was the performance worth the upgrade cost from the 1080 to a 1080ti?

I upgraded from a 980ti to a 1080ti. I was using 1.5ss with the 980ti and I have to admit that at 2.0ss on the 1080ti it’s not a massive step forward in terms of visual clarity. I do find a lot less micro stutter/freezing so it’s generally a lot smoother. I got the 1080ti in preparation for the Pimax 8k I’ve got coming. That should improve things significantly.

Short summary, yes there is improvement, but it’s not as impressive as I was expecting due to limitations of the headset screens.

I think so yeah, enables you to run SS which greatly improves VR clarity.
