Odyssey VR performance is very poor

Dragsham - You are the Master!!

CPU 20% ( which is fairly nuts for my 12900K ) and.... drum roll - GPU up to 91% ave and, I cannot believe I'm about to say this for EDO, smooth as glass! I did not know a 1080Ti can do this. My Devils Canyon must've been seriously holding that card back for VR.

Glad it helped

Lastly geforce experience
Let it optimise elite
And also let it overclock gpu

If I optimise ED in geforce, won't it assume pancake mode and adjust for that? I run SteamVR for WMR from Steam, and Launch ED from the Desktop Launcher. I can't see how geforce can optimise ED for VR use, without knowing in advance.

When you say to let geforce overclock the GPU, do you mean this setting: (see attached) , or a setting elsewhere? If it's a different setting, perhaps for higher end cards (mine is 1660ti)? Also, is this for Win 10 or 11?

Cheers in advance.

Firstly you run wmd portal so your now in vr mode. Notice how your desktop alters slightly.
That automatically fires up SteamVR.
It defo optimises for vr.
No the settings for gpu overclocking are in the performance tab of geforce experience.
Win 11

Thanks for the reply.
I don't know what you mean by the desktop altering slightly. And WMR does not fire up Steam VR for me (maybe that's a Win 11 thing). I don't see anything referring to 'overclocking' in the performance tab.
After optimising ED in geforce, I see that it puts the performance slider to 'Quality', If I slide it to Performance, it shows as 'Custom' rather than 'Optimised'.

Prior to this, I would just custom install Nvidia drivers without geforce, but decided after reading this thread to give it a bash anyway as it's worth a try.
My method for the past few years has been to open SteamVR for WMR in Steam, then ED from the ED Launcher. (I stopped using the Steam ED installation, as I didn't want to have to launch Odyssey, and just play Horizons for now. I will probably try Odyssey, when/if my 1660 ti can handle it in VR.

Also, as I haven't fired the game up since installing geforce, perhaps geforce will recognise VR usage after a session and optimise accordingly for VR after that.

Anyway, thanks again and I'll give it a bash tomorrow.

Cheers.
