IPC and VR - How it works and can it be improved without an upgrade?

[lee1981]

Hi all.

In a nut shell I use my VR (Quest 2) in a flight sim (il2:Bos) and originally had a few issues with maps where FPS dropped considerably in certain areas. The confusing part I originally had was my graphics card utilisation was around 60%.. my CPU around 30% (The head scratching started).

After numerous hours looking at videos, settings, adjustments , forums etc a gentlemen mentioned to me about the IPC and that it can have an effect on certain VR pc titles.

I was wondering if someone could explain the correlation and if there was a way I could possibly improving my performance?

Just for the rundown I upgraded from my trusty 3700,X to 5600x. Less cores but slightly higher speed and higher IPC. I did actually see an improvement. G'card is a 3080.

Thanks in advance for any explanation and help in understanding how it all works.

Totally missed these comments and never got an update to reply.

For what it's worth just wanted to say thanks for the replies. Explains allot. Sadly overclocking my CPU is a big no no as AM4 doesn't appreciate it allot and single core hits around 4.55 which compared to Intel isn't great but about average for the CPU.

I've got 32gig of Corsair DDR4 3600mhz. Sadly its not expensive 18-22-22-42 timings but I don't feel this would have much effect with lower tighter timings.

Thanks again for the replies.
