New Nvidea Driver
- Thread starter Raptoyd
- Start date
Running the latest 388.71, no issues, runs very smooth. Was previously on 388.43
388.71 played for hours no problems here.
I read you have a1080 TI just like me. May I ask you about your exact settings for Oculus? I'm still struggling with my config.
I'll try the new drivers...
Excuse me for the off-topic.

No problems here neither. 1080ti as well.
Thanks appreciate that loading the newer version now for some reason never got that Nvidea notification like I normally do
A whole bunch of settings in Nvidia control panel (Taken from Dr Kaiis post)
In game it has been trial and error, stable performance is based on so many factors. My 1080TI was nicely over clocked for a few months, recently it will only run stable at stock speeds, It may have something to do with changing to the 388.43 a few weeks ago. I tried 388.71 to see if it would fix the problem, unfortunately not, the drivers are very stable though.
Bottom line my system is not running as fast as it could be, CPU is overclocked to 4.9ghz. Have had to make some compromises in my settings. FPS is stable at 90
Ambient occlusion is a big FPS hog, Blur is only related to your ships holographic displays (Starport services) With blur turned ON images behind the panels will be blurred (slightly lower FPS) When OFF everything behind the screen is blacked out.
In game -
@777Driver, interesting that your Gamma is so high. I had mine set like that but turned it down because I like the blacks nice and dark on my monitor. Hadn't played with it since getting the Rift.
Also on a 1080Ti and 388.71 with no problems
SS on x0.75 and HMD on x2? Interesting. Gotta try that. What is the advantage of pushing the resolution on HMD instead of GC?

Yeah
@777Driver
You strike me as a finely tuned machine. I notice you have lowered SS below 1, which I thought caused permanant texture fidelity loss; rubbish in --> rubbish out and all that!
Presumably the payoff of texture loss grants greater pixel densitiy?
What TF is your reasoning!?
EDIT
My settings currently SS:1 * HMD 1.25 = 1.25
777Driver 0.75 * 2 = 1.5
I might try .75 * 1.5 = 1.125!!!! Performance boost!

I might be wrong, but I think the reason of having SS under 1 is that, above, the graphical gain is minimal to none, but lowering that seems to greatly improve performance, hence providing room to increase the HMD instead...
Lowering it to 0.85 or 0.75 doesn't seem to impact visual quality that much, so it is assumable...
In the other side, HMD above 1 seems to improve image quality (by sharpening the image) significantly, that's why it's likely to have it as high as it can get.
Surely 777Driver will add to my rubbish explanation, but I have it just like this and I can tell you that the image is a lot more sharper than before. Definitively worth trying...

My Gamma settings are back and forth, depends on the situation, really hope the devs sort the lighting out sooner than later.
Ideally I would have SS on at least 1, until my overclock is sorted out 0.75 is the max I can achieve a solid 90FPS with HMD2. Not perfect but it's a good balance between visuals and performance.
I've been having a lot of issues with the GTX 970 finding the balance. When I got mine in early November I could run medium settings and now low is problematic. Not sure if an update to Windows of Nvidia has caused the issues... Seems to be worse the longer I play in a session so heat may be a concern. And having the Edge open seems to cause it as well. Memory is so tight, always running full and the GPU is about 90% when near stations or in the galaxy map. The CPU is loafing. I need to look at it as it is really killing the game for me.
Upgrading would be the real answer but I'm still holding out for the next gen cards.

This thread has strayed from the original topic, but I'd like to know why people bother installing every new nvidia driver that comes out? There's a pattern of shoddy releases from them, why not wait until you actually need the new driver (e.g. some sort of enhancement you've been waiting for is mentioned in the release notes). Sorry in advance if that's why the OP installed this latest release

Main rule is to not change unless A: you feel the drivers you are on are not performing correctly, or in some cases you will be forced to move to a new driver for certain software to work. I generally stick with a good older driver unless I am forced to change. I had to upgrade to get Oculus dash working.
