Will it perform well with a 2070 Super & Ryzen 3700x?

[ㄥoㄥıʞɐꞱ]

Hey i've just ordered a Valve Index some days ago. I am now not sure if my Hardware is good enough to play with the Index @90Hz at the Indexes max resolution.

Somebody with similar setup here who can tell me how well it performs?

It'll be good unless you have 8GB of RAM or the game is running on a hard drive.

i've 32GB RAM and a bit slow samsung ssd (QVO)

It should run fine with those system specs.

I have a Ryzen 3600 and a 2070S. The game runs great on my Reverb G2.

SSDs don't impact game performance

hell yeah ive done it with worse with really good settings

2070super suck, so many people complained about that series. I have one too. It runs fine, but not like it should.

[Titans of Time]

It depends on the vendor. The MSI 2070S was complete garbage due to inferior cooling. I returned it the same day I bought it. The EVGA 2070S has been running with no issues at all and great performance.

I use an SSD for Half-Life Alyx, when i used to have a GTX 970, the game ran smooth now i have a GTX 1070 right now

@Lx, than fix your System. I played it on a 1080Ti without any Issues. Disable Motion Reprojection, just as a Tip.

I thought Motion Reprojection was supposed to help with the framerate?
Any other things that should be tweaked for Alyx? (also using a 1080 Ti)

ran fine on my 2060 before i got my 3090 so it should work fine on a 2070.

It can help if you can`t get enough FPS yes, but if you get sufficient FPS (in my Case 90FPS bec 90Hz HMD) it is better to leave it off in my Opinion. When i turn it on (also on Application controlled Settings) i get Stutters in Alyx.

In every Game where i play i do not use it. I turned it off in WMR and also Motion Smoothing in Steam and have Lag/Stutter free Games. And this was just a Tip what he could try.

Before i would use Motion Smoothing and Motion Reprojection i would cap my FPS a bit lower to my stable AVG FPS. I see no sence behind it why i should half my FPS from 90 to 45 with Motion Reprojection when i can archive maybe 70 or 80 constant FPS (as Example) and have than a smoother Game Experience because of more FPS.

When i play FlatGames on my 144Hz Monitor and can not archive 144 FPS to get a smooth Gameplay i take a look on my constant FPS what i can get in this Game and set my FPSLimit to this Value and do not half my FPS to 72 (and for sure i play with the IngameSettings too to get better FPS).


An artificially extrapolated image looks worse in my Opinion, but can help to get an smoother Experience like you wrote

If you choose to enable motion reprojection, all Steam VR games will render nominally at ½ frame rate (45 FPS instead of 90 FPS) while Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR uses motion vectors generated by the GPU to extrapolate the next frame.

I deal with it (from Game to Game less FPS than my Refreshrate), but than set my fps to an constant value instead of make the image worse through Motion Reprojection (half Framerate and extrapolated Pixels)

I wanted to let you know, it ran perfectly smooth, set the Index to 120hz, it was able to hold pretty good amount of FPS, i did not even checked, as i had not noticed any low fps problems. It's a MSI Card btw ^^

Go ingame and wave your hand. Do it slow and fast. Than set the hmd refreshrate to 90hz and do the same. You should see more fluent hand movement.
