Anyone running this on a 1080?

[Skdursh]

I have some extra money right now so I'm considering buying myself a Valve Index and upgrading to a more modern GPU around Christmas, but for the time being I'm still rocking my now-classic GTX1080. Wondering though if I should even bother with getting this game until after I upgrade the GPU as well because the minimum requirements suggest a GTX1070 and as we all know "minimum requirements" is code for "yeah it will run... sort of".

Now a 1080 is more powerful than a 1070 (I mean, obviously; It's a whole 10 more!) but that still doesn't mean I'm going be approaching my interpretation of what "playable" actually is while using it. I don't need to run the game at the highest most ultra extreme settings, but I do want to be able to run it at a very consistent and high framerate with no spikes, stuttering or drops. I'm not interested in feeling pukey. Should I wait until I upgrade the GPU to buy this or do you, and by "you" I mean "other GTX1080 owners", play this game and find it an acceptably smooth experience?

I have a 1080 and an original Oculus Rift, it runs perfectly for me on high settings. I haven't seen any stuttering so far. I'm not sure if the headset you use would affect your performance, but for me it runs really well. There's also some upscaling or whatever you can enable in the game's settings that might help framerate if you really need it.

Your CPU also matters a lot for VR games with a lot of physics like this.

What CPU do you have, what type of RAM/how much RAM do you have, do you have a solid state drive to install the game onto, etc?

Depending on the above, it will run on mediumish with FSR on, but expect some areas to absolutely tank. The first map you enter (Pervomay Route) is the least demanding of all the maps, the second map Bolotky Village will really show you whether or not you can run it reliably.

If you are very sensitive to framerate drops/hitching, you will probably have a not great time with a 1080. Most UE4 VR games have some weird stuttering issues that come up from time to time dealing with the GPU load, this game is no exception.

For reference: I myself experienced the above issues with a 1080Ti, 32 GB of 3200Mhz DDR4, and an i5 8600k, my CPU was getting hammered in a lot of areas. The game is pretty demanding.

I upgraded my entire PC to 4070Ti, i7-13700k, 32 GB 6000Mhz DDR5. While it does run significantly better, I still receive the random GPU frametime drops that are likely caused by that weird UE4 VR issue.

Right now I have an i7-8700k and 64GB DDR4 3600Mhz cl14 RAM besides the GTX1080. Planning on getting an RTX4070 or maybe the Ti if prices come down a little or there is a sale around Christmas. See no reason to change my RAM as it's about as good as it gets for DDR4 and most applications/games are still barely taking advantage of DDR5 yet, but I might upgrade to a different CPU around Christmas as well depending on how much extra cash I have on hand, but doing so would require a new motherboard as well.

Been running it on my 1080 fine on high settings. Both before and after the DLSS patch out that a lot of people are complaining about.

I agree with those that say CPU matters a lot if not more for this game. I run this fine on a 1070 since upgrading to a cpu with more cores and 32gb of ddr4

I am using a 970 and a rift and I am mostly fine. I am kind of a vr noob and don't know if some weird things I see is not supposed to happen or is due to my incompetence but it's fine

1. Minimum requirements USUALLY means "This will run, but it might not look pretty". That means it should be targeting playable framerates which for VR is 60 fps, though 72 fps is more ideal, decent enough resolution as well to actually see well enough.

2. I mean you can just buy it, if it runs like garbage and you don't see yourself upgrading any time soon you can just auto-refund if you play for 2 hours or less. If you get stutters though just be aware its probably a CPU issue and not a GPU issue USUALLY. Also textures you can turn up if you have enough VRAM because that doesn't really affect your FPS at all.

3. Valve index is cool, its also very old make sure you check out somewhat more recent VR headsets depending on the amount of money you wanna spend on it.

I'm getting confused when people say they run on High with a 1080,
im on a 3080 and have a mix of medium-high settings, using AMD upscaling UltraQ (RIP DLSS) and MSAA.
Gotta say tho that I am on a Resolution of ~2400x2830 pixels, I cannot stand a blurry image, that gets me to 90FPS all the way with no reprojection. With the index you can cap to 60fps thanks to the 120HZ display, which should help alot, i can only cap to 45 fps, which sucks.

And yes, a good CPU will probably help a lot, but these got alot cheaper these days

When people usually say that they usually mean turn up the Textures cus it doesn't affect FPS at all. Also you have a 3080 you should be able to run on all high with relative ease, also why are you using MSAA when you could just turn up the resolution scale anyways? and if you're using FSR you're gonna have worse performance than if you just turned down the res scale. Thats a really odd choice to pretty much reduce aliasing with MSAA and then increase aliasing with FSR.

I got a 1080 and with HTC Vive it ran well on high settings. I switched to Pico 4 to play wireless, and since Pico 4 has like 4x the pixels, I now have to run it on low, but with certain setting turned to max.

Honestly the graphics are worse, but the game does look better in a way. Plus no cable. Yay.

With a lower resolution headset like the Valve Index, 1080 is completely fine for this game.
