Oculus Rift
- Thread starter Kosmiche
- Start date
Mainly no. A GPU from 10 years ago wont look any worse that one from today. The FPS may be 10 times worse but new GPUs do not have setting to make everything look nicer - thats just set in the game, or display drivers / debug tool.
The exception being things like dynamic super resolution (DSR) which can be set in nvidia control panel. Some older cards may lack these sorts of features
Thanks for the reply. But there is a big difference in changing settings in game or in the control panel of the display drivers and running the debug tool for the rift every time you want to force a setting.
In games and apps for the rift that don't have any options to change settings, does the rift detect what card you use and improve the quality to match the gpu or do you have use the debug tool to see improvements?
ON another note, I bought Vorx and tried it out on GTA V and Skyrim. It really isn't worth the money.

The unreal 4 demo in oculus home with the large robot is rather cool, worth a look. Also the vr experience built into firestrike benchmark tool via steam is good and very clear.
But tbh I've not found something I've enjoyed playing that much. Eve is too much for me can't shoot anything even on easy! I get so disorientated....

Just a heads up for anyone who owns it. Dirt Rally is due to get official Oculus Rift support today. Should be awesome

yay what i bought for
My congratulations to Codemasters. Dirt Rally is beautiful in the rift. Probably the best presented image I've seen among all the driving sims, its just so clean and free of any distracting artifacts.
As I'm still waiting for my new GPU to arrive and having to drop down to a single 780 for VR I set the medium preset with 4xMSAA and jumped straight into the Impreza on one of the finish stages, wanted to test out some jumps. Didn't have any FPS meter up but for 99% of the time was very smooth. Wasn't bothered by locking the camera to the car or horizon but have it locked to car for now as it seems to make a little more sense given you should be tightly strapped in. Crashed a few times and then switched to the Fiesta in Greece, again very smooth. Replays would be so cool if only they had full TV or spectator cams you could watch from, unfortunately most of the trackside TV cams which are great for spectating from are too short lived.
That was all I had time for but will definitely be playing a lot more. The other thing I noticed, or should that be didn't, was the tunnel vision effect didn't both me. The loss of peripheral vision can be very noticeable when circuit racing but with rally stages not a problem.

Can someone with fully compatible USB 3.0 ports try something out for me? Should only take a minute or two.
Can you plug the sensor into a USB 2.0 port and see do you notice any problems compared to the USB 3.0 port.
The reason I am asking is there seems to be mixed opinions out there, some people say USB 2 is good enough for the sensor and other people saying that it improves with USB 3.
I would appreciate if someone could do this test for me please. It will save me buying a USB 3.0 card.

I have to concur about Dirt Rally! it's the first time i've spent more than a few hours in the rift, it's amazing exactly what i was looking for when buying a VR headset
But it does get very warm and sweaty in there lol, i think i need a fan blowing on me while i play :S

You can pretend you're in a convertable with all the air blowing in your face.
I've put a fan in front of my face while VR roller coasting and it makes for an interesting experience.
So these go over the standard lenses? I'd be interested if they replaced them but wearing glasses creates quire a lot of glare so i don't bother.
