Can anyone please share there in-game settings for the DK2. All of a sudden I am getting a ton of Jitter, it was working fine.
hi sorry just read this! yes I have some juddering but have you made sure you have updated all the oculus drivers? as I had not for ages and when I did it fixed most of the juddering! worth a look! + make sure your drivers are up to date for your graphics card as there have been updates for mine and they specifically said for the oculus on elite! (Titan Black) hope that helps!:cool:
 
Sometimes my refresh in the graphics options resets to 60Hz. I don't know why this is but I would check that and make sure it's still at 75Hz. I get some occasional micro freezes and stuttering when nearing stations and going into hyperspace but I don't think that's the same thing as judder. Turning on vsync for some reason has reduced the freezes I was experiencing but I still get them on occasion.
 
Have the same issue too. Appears to (rarely) affect other games/demos (ie asseto corsa)

Intermittent Vertical Jitter, which disappears once positional tracking lost. If you loose tracking (move outside range, or move hand in front of HMD so that image greys out) jitter will go away.

I have tried all USB ports, power cable in/out, with no solution. Tried a few USB bios options too as well as control panel, device manager USB power settings etc.

I'm on latest firmware, Oculus drivers (tried reinstall). Gtx 970 344.75
 
Going to 344.75 not an option right now as it will not allow P-Cars or Assetto Corsa to render correctly in the DK2. i will give that positional tracking trick a try.

Judder in stations

gtx 970, 4th gen i7 @ 4.0 mhz, 16 g ram.

I am getting judder in stations and resource extraction zones. any suggestions that dont involve lowering my settings?

Are you disabling other monitors? Do you have any resource hogs running in the background?

Otherwise, lower your settings or wait for further optimizations.
 
Did a bit more research. Looks like this is time warping jitter relating to positional camera.

I have tried all USB ports with no improvements. However I have plugged the camera USB into the HMD aux USB (small cover on front of DK2), ensuring power to DK2 junction box plugged in.

This appears to have helped a lot. Still some intermittent vertical jitter, but now resolves itself very quickly.

I expect the powered USB hub is the way to go (as mentioned above by a previous poster), but plugging into the HMD seems to provide some benefit.

Just to add I have tried all the following which did not help; HT OFF, core parking disabled, rift/GPUdriver reinstall, firmware reinstall, default clock speeds CPU/GPU
 
Also have the same problem with my new GTX 970 (core I5, 8 gb ram, ssd)
All Elite settings set to low, shadows disabled, extended mode, monitor disabled. CoreParkingManager45.exe is even set to 100%.
Still ~62 FPS in ressource extraction zone. Really disapointing.


I found that FPS is slowly reducing just after loading, I think it's related to NPC spawning. When I have 62 FPS, my card is at 50% and my cpu to 80%, 50%, 50%, 50% approximativly. I don't understand why. Tried a lot of things with no success.


What can I do next ? Buy a GTX 980 ? Doing SLI ? Damn this game will ruin me.
Do anybody get no judder in ressource extraction zone ?
 
Wow. I have a budget AMD/ATI R7 Card, 3GB RAM and an old (2007) dual-core Athlon 2GHz - Elite plays smooth as silk for me, with the only "judder" during hyperspace sequences - but that's likely just paging from disk to be fair. Framerate certainly isn't an issue. Probably the lowest it gets to is 50fps.

Oh, and I play at Ultra detail too - everything maxed, 1280x1024 resolution.

I get judder only in some stations so I think it is not a hardware issue and something engine or net code related

also seems to suffer less judder the longer I play
 
I've got a brand new i7 4mhz 16gig ram machine with an msi 980 gtx that comes with a mild over clock and I get judder in stations too. It's buttery in space. Even flying around the station. But once I'm inside it judders pretty bad. Would love to hear if you find a solution. Was hoping my brand new machine wouldn't have a problem maintaining 75+ fps

How can that be possible ? Go to a ressource extraction zone, and wait 1-2 min for npc spawning.
You will surely not have 75 fps (you can use playclaw to check FPS in the rift)

For me I get ~71 fps in stations. That can be ok, but even with this judder is noticeable.
Ressource extraction zone are the worst thing (~63 FPS), I'm pretty interested to know if anyone with one card get 75 FPS here.
Right now I try to not move too much my head in it, so I can do some bounty hunting without inconvenience.

Seem similar for me. Can you go to a Ressource extraction zone and tell me your FPS ? I'm pretty curious to know what you got with a 980. (with graphic preset set to low)

I don't understand why some people seem to claim to not get any judder with one card. I hope this is something I miss in the configuration. But that can be just false report, maybe some people do not notice / understand judder. (best thing is to check FPS in game). I sold my R9 290 to bought a 970 because some people said that they don't get any judder with this card, however I'm really disapointed of the result. I now wonder if my old R9 290 was not better...

Slightly overclocked GTX 980, i7 4790K, 16 gig ram. I got judder in space stations too. Didn't have it a week ago, it used to be silky smooth. I noticed that the Nvidia software announced that "game settings have been optimized" (or something like that), and ED had been added to the game list in Nvidia software. Maybe that's what causing it - dodgy Nvidia auto-update?

I have no idea how it's possible (one of the reasons I didn't buy Elite Dangerous was that my system was nowhere near the minimum specs) but it is. I get around 60fps, never dropping below 50. And that's constant, no matter where I go - I've been sitting in an asteroid field watching a few NPCs mining just recently and it was smooth.

As I said, the only "juddering" I get is after Hyperspace has activated - some of the pauses can be up to 2 or 4 seconds before the graphics start moving again. That said, once I arrive at the target star everything is smooth again. I'm screwed if Thargoids start ambushing people in witch-space again!

Its possible because you're in the VR forum running a monitor that isn't even HD "Oh, and I play at Ultra detail too - everything maxed, 1280x1024 resolution.".
Everyone on here is using a Rift DK2 which runs at 1080p and renders images based on head movement in real time. I can run ultra on this game and probably another game or 2 at the same time if I wanted to on 3 of your monitors, but its a different story with a rift.
 
I had two 970s in SLI. It ran smooth but I couldn't stand the extra latency that came with SLI. So I sold them both and bought a 980. Happy now :)

If you have 60 FPS, turning your head in the rift can't be "smooth". Oculus rift need a steady 75 FPS to avoid juddering, and I can easly see the difference between 60 FPS and 75. Maybe your are less sensitive to that ? Or maybe you never see the game running at 75 FPS ? 60 FPS is really unpleasant for me in the rift.

Edit : Ho I see, you do not use the rift. That maybe explain why there is "false" report of 970 running smooth on the rift. :S
