Any 980ti users out there?

Hey guys,

Just jumped on to the VR wagon with the rift and loving it.

I am trying to find a good graphics setting for the game, and boy that is a deep rabbit hole.
I use a 980ti with stock speeds. I consider overclocking, but not sure how much it would benefit in game.

Any insights, setting suggestions, OC yes vs no are very welcome.

Was running mine with low to medium settings
No ambient occlusion.
No Anti aliasing.
And SS at 0.65 and hmd-q at about 1.75.

But after you need to tweak settings to your own tastes and preferences.

I have a 980Ti, but I won't have a VR unit until my Pimax 8K arrives next year. Sorry I can't give you advice, but I hope you enjoy your new toy!

I just use the VR Ultra setting and all is fine.

I have twin 980ti's and run high/Ultra on pretty much everything. (I may have a texture (planet) setting on high instead of Ultra).

No VR yet, though.

VR is a totally different beast.
My 980ti and i5 4670k would run ultra on my 3440x1440 screen at 60 fps no problem.

For VR a 1080ti and top of the line i7 8700k still have to make sacrifices in settings to maintain the needed FPS for people to feel immersed and not throw up.

Hi OP,

I run an 980ti with a i7 6700k CPU @ stock, and run the following VR profile settings with an Oculus Rift:

Hope this helps. :)

1080ti 8700k really frees you to do what you like. Need to overclock though elite seams to run really well with raw clock speed.

that doesnt really answer what OP is asking

i have a 980ti, my settings are usually set to medium, with SS at 0.75 and HMD at 2.00

good solid frames

When people say "solid frames" etc, do you then mean that your system runs 90fps fluently?

I have some problems by getting just VR low to run 90fps with my 980ti. Further more I have issues spotting the upgrades to the graphics that higher settings apply.
I fear I am doing something wrong.

Btw I have an i5 4460. Would a better processer do any good? I would hope to atleast stay on the same Mobo in that case so it would have to be an lga 1150 socket cpu.

UPDATE

Running MSI afterburner for stats shows that the GPU is hovering around 50% usage. Upping the clock speeds etc does not change that much. The CPU seems to be bouncing between 70% to 80%. Yet the framerate displayed by Oculus Debug Tool hud is 45 - almost flatline.

I would have expected a higher framerate - I am running VR low with 0.5 SS and 2.0 HMD.

Yes, it looks like you are CPU constrained. I'll look at my 980Ti GPU usage tonight, but I'm pretty sure it's much higher than 50%. I have an i7-4770 at 3.4 MHz.

Been through a whole rigamorole with this now.

First off.
I realise my i5 4670k is throttling my 980ti.
Upgrade to an i7 4790k.

I then indisputably throttle on the GPU.
So I succumb and buy myself a 1080ti.

ED is back to throttle on the CPU, seriously RES utilisation on the GPU was running as low as 25%.
I have video.

So again I have succumbed to the insanity.
And bought a £1500 rig, consisting of an i7 8700k an x370 chipset, new tower, M.2 drive 16GB of 3200mhz RAM (Elite actually enjoy fast RAM quite a bit)
SSD drive for "more games" and a 3TB spinny disk for old high volume stuff.

Took my 1080ti out of the old, now put the 980ti back in it.

It has actually been the upgrade I wished it would be, and that's more than I hoped for and much more than I expected.
It's not just CPU either the motherboard chipset is faster, the move from DDR3 to DDR4 isn't tiny etc etc.

And just for lulz I'm running ED off the M.2 drive.
I don't notice all much difference but why not.

Anyhoo, this game and VR particularily can drive you bonkers crazy.

I'm back to throttling on the GPU now.....
But now I seriously can't afford to upgrade further, at least not for a few years.

Not much on settings.
but I got significantly less time in spacewarp after it.

It would drop less and bounce back a little quicker.

I am aiming at getting as close to constant 90fps on VR-LOW settings with SS 0,5 and HMD at 1.75 or 2.0 as possible. Settings like texture quality does not appear to improve the experience by much due to the very low res of the rift so I dont care for them. But fluidity and as few artifacts as possible is king.
