Anybody try VR with an AMD RX 580?

[virtualperson]

Curious about the performance. Will it work? What headset would be good? I'm not a perfectionist, but don't want to have low FPS feeling either, rather wait for the real deal if a 580 isn't good enough.

Edit: Processor is Ryzen 2600 Six Core with 16 gigs of memory.

same question but 5700xt. i'm debating whether to buy one or to keep waiting for 5800's

an RX 580 isnt a VR GPU to begin with so it would be iffy
a 5700XT would likely have better luck though

RX 580 is a VR capable GPU, although on the lower end. AMD fully supports VR with the RX 580.

An RX 580 will run NMS VR at 100% SS with Standard/Enhanced settings, you'll spend most of the time in Motion Smoothing 45fps on a Vive (except in space 90fps nearly all the time).
The result will depend on if immersion beats the low-ish graphics for you or not.
Higher specced HMDs won't love your RX 580 for demanding games.
A better GPU will allow you to crank supersampling and some game settings higher (and avoid Motion Smoothing).

probably what the performance is like. that's what i want to know. my 1080Ti runs like crap because the good drivers dont have vulkan support so i need to run the bad drivers

i still hit 90fps, but the screen itself is stuttering. happens in oculus home as well which is unreal4

if i run 397.x drivers, home is silky smooth (one of the few drivers that work) but then i can't play NMSB because 397 have no vulkan support

Umm..
If you havent updated your drivers because you seem to think that they are better than current drivers thats your mistake. my 1060 6GB runs the game perfectly, with the latest drivers and the drivers before it.

And idk what you're talking about, but NVIDIA has had Vulkan support since 2016.

So yeah, your issues with the game are strictly due to how you are managing your PC Not the game and not NVIDIA.

Do yourself a favor and learn how to use DDU in safe mode THEN complain if your issues arent resolved.

no mans sky wouldn't let me launch with 397.x drivers claiming that they didn't support vulkan.

i've always done clean installs of drivers. if clean installs isn't enough and requires extra software to clean registries and having the pc launched in safe mode then tell me again how nvidia isn't a problem?

i just want to leave Nvidia. AMD needs to provide a real option. the 5700xt is almost there and if i could actually buy one i'd be doing so today on my day off with my tax return. but AIB's still haven't landed locally yet.

the question remains valid has anyone played no mans sky on a 5700xt and how well does it perform? my 1080ti performs like crap so i want to ditch it. i never insulted you so i have no idea why you felt the need to attack me? take your tribalism someplace else thanks

I have an RX 480 with the Index, which meets minimum GPU requirement. Ryzen 7 2700X, 16gb RAM. Only played up to fixing the ship, it performed fine with default resolution but I can't up the supersampling much, and cranking up that supersampling is a must for this game, otherwise it's extremely blurry - considerably more than any other game I've tried, including Skyrim and Fallout.

I'm holding out to get a better GPU before playing more for this reason. As somebody else put it, "will depend on if immersion beats the low-ish graphics for you or not"

It does support Vulkan
Its more likely that the game is using the latest version of Vulkan which your drivers do not support UNLESS you are using a recent driver, which you apparently are not doing. So the lack of compatibility is due to you not updating the drivers on a normal basis like you are supposed to with a GPU that is still getting driver optimization updates.

Just look up benchmarks for a 1080 Ti and a 5700XT in general and see which is better overall.

I've got a RX 480 4gb and while it reprojects on more intense planets, it still runs well enough to enjoy.

[Wrothbog]

they're apparently on par, with the 1080Ti having 3gb of additional memory. but in VR you use a lot more memory running essentially two screens worth of deferred rendering pipelines and if supersampling gets involved that skyrockets. skyrimVR runs about 7gb of video memory with mods at 100% SS, at 125% it's about 8.5gbs

the 1080ti has gddr5 the 5700xt has gddr6 but 3gb less of it. it's not apples to apples that's why i wondering if anybody is doing this. radeon image sharpening might make super sampling less of an issue since we can sharpen what TAA smears into one colour giving us better texture detail without supersampling while still retaining the high end AA. way back on my 6790 amd card they had perfect anisotropic filtering so textures at acute angles didn't blur together. i assume amd didn't ditch that and i know nvidia isn't bothering to do it so that's another source of blurring i could get rid of. it was especially obvious in the space station hangers when you spawned and the laneways extended out towards space, the line actually got fatter and blurrier as it moved away. amd solved that a decade ago. assuming they didn't drop it during an architecture swap

nobody looks at these cards from a VR perspective in reviews. but it's the only aspect i'm personally concerned with. i get why, time vs relevance, but it's still an issue
