You read that wrong, he said the G1 at 150% is much the same as the G2 at 67%, which makes sense given both will be approximately the same target resolution.
Ah, Saturday night beer goggles, that makes way more sense
I've just been doing some more testing with Pavlov this morning, having installed the new Nvidia hotfix driver. Pavlov is the game of choice as it's the only game I play that really relies on the controller tracking. I've been working under the assumption that the problems I've had (one 'hand' randomly disappearing, screen spins, then goes blue for a bit, then returns with hands not present, have to restart controllers) have been due to lighting, but now I'm not so sure.
I should state that, whilst I do see the odd problem similar to the below in seated, cockpit-based games, it's much less frequent.
Light in this room is natural daylight, it's bright and sunny but the sun is hitting the other side of the house, so no problems with direct sunlight, it's bright and consistent. Just playing around in the firing range. SS in Steam set to 65%. All was fine for around 15minutes, then all of a sudden my world spins, I get a blue screen for around 5 seconds, then I return with no hands.
I repeat the process, this time having upped the steam SS to 100% (shouldn't really be an issue in this game on my system, and the frame rate, frame times etc are all fine, getting a solid 90fps still). A minute in later the same again, but this time it errors (this time it's a 7-7, but I get all sorts of different errors, no consistency). Have to power-cycle the headset to bring it back.
I've been putting this down to less than optimal lighting, but I've tried to repeat as scientifically as I can, and it's clear as day that the problems I see are linked to the SS level I'm asking it to run at. I put it right down to 40%, and managed half an hour no problems at all.
I'm guessing this is the sort of weird s*** you were seeing prior to going to PCI-E v3.0
@Zeeflyboy ? I did give that a go but had to revert as my NVME boot drive refused to work in 4.0 mode, I fear I'd have to reformat & reinstall windows. Still might do that if nothing improves, but
I'm hoping that the new BIOS which is designed to fix the USB detection issues on x570 does more than just that, or something is done in Steam VR to improve things
