Skyrim VR Performance + HTC Vive Pro Question

[Travis]

Hello folks,

Quick question, I'm contemplating grabbing the Vive Pro to give Fallout 4 + Skyrim VR a go, do you reckon a 980ti would run either of these games at a smooth framerate or do you reckon I should invest in a gpu upgrade before pulling the trigger on the Vive Pro?

I do play Oldrim at 4k with a couple hundred mods going and I must say I get 60fps about 75-80% of the time which I think is really impressive, so I imagine Skyrim SE would run even better.

What do you think? Thanks.

No need to inscrease supersampling on the vive pro. It's native resolution is very sharp and you have no need to fiddle with supersampling. I played with the vive pro at 60% supersampling and it looked much cleaner than vive at 320% supersampling. It is that clean but you do have sde STILL.

IF YOU USE THAT GTX980TI, MOST LIKELY YOU MAY NEED TO DROP THE ss TO 50% WITH ASYNC ON AND EVEN ADD ALWAYS ON REPRO. EVEN WITH A 1080, i NEEDED ASYNC ON WITH 100% NATIVE RESOLUTION. i AM NOW RUNNING AT 100% SS with async on and reprojection. It is that sharp.

Seems so much variation in performance for VR stuff.

How do you run it at those settings smoothly. I have a normal GTX 1080 and the minute I turn off dynamic resolution and slide that SS up even a slight bit I notice judder when turning left and right with the controller on Vive. Does the Ti makes that much of a difference? My CPU is an Intel Core i7 6700k @ 4ghz. Am I doing something wrong?

I put all the settings to the max and SS to full and it runs flawless on my 980ti much better than F4 in every way.

In game SS or SteamVR SS? Because max SteamVR SS is 1000% isn't is? and you'd not be getting that if a 1080ti can't do above 2.0 (200%) SteamVR SS. In game Skyrim SS maybe, their SS setting in game at max slider might not be anywhere near SteamVR's max SS setting

edit: Are you using dynamic resolution aswell or is that setting off? If its on you wont be getting full resolution all the time, you'd be better off turning off dynamic resolution and trying to get a constant resolution first

I also have a 980ti with the standard Vive headset. I am able to max out all visual settings with minimal to no reprojection. Keeping in mind the minimum settings for a Vive Pro is a 1070, the 980ti and 1070 are near equals. The 980ti even beats the 1070 in some areas, but still I wouldn't expect it to be able to run on max settings with a Vive Pro. Probably medium to high settings, which is still good.

Id recommend going with either the samsung headset, the vive normal headset or the oculus. My general recommendation would be the oculus but if fallout is super important to you then just the normal vive is the way to go. The extra resolution is nice no doubt, but it isn't high enough for it to really matter once you really start playing.

Skyrim VR you will run with no issue, Fallout 4 you will run but with some issue (though still it will be very playable if you turn down some settings).

[Travis]

Thanks for the replies folks, yeah I think generally a new GPU is the way to go first of all, most likely a 1080ti. That way I can at least benefit from playing at 4k with better frames right now. I'll invest in the Vive Pro further down the line, I reckon by Christmas they'll have shaved a few pounds off it or put it in some sort of bargain bundle.

I'm very interested in this topic also. The difference my new 1080 ti has made over a 970 for VR is amazing. I have SS cranked up as high as I can and resolution scaling at 200%. Even text for Oculus desktop is clear now. I'm really disappointed that the VIVE pro did not increase FOV, that's my only hesitation, but I'm going to wait and see what people are reporting for VIVE pro before I decide. I've been planning to buy a new 4K monitor or 3400x1440 ASUS monitor with the quantum dot and HDR when they release those, but hey, the VIVE pro is already here and at about half the price as one of those monitors, so it's definitely on my radar.

In relation to what you said about grabbing a 4k monitor, I can support that interest. I honestly can't go back to 1080p - recently got the ASUS PB287Q and while it has no HDR or isn't OLED or anything fancy like that I can say the 4k resolution is amazing. Gonna pair that 4k res with the same GPU you have. I'll put the Vive Pro on the backshelf for now, it's in the pipeline though.

In Steam VR, I can't go any higher on SS than 2.0. No matter where else I put it, it just defaults right back to 2.0, it's just stuck there and no idea how this can be changed. I used to do it back when I had 970s. It would run like crap if I went higher than about 1.5, but I could set it all the way to 5.0 and it would stay there. Not sure what happened with Steam VR that is causing that.

Thats an odd issue, never had that happen?

yep 4k screen here with a 1080 gtx, can't run alot of current releases @4k 60fps but i get about 40 to 50 fps constently and thats find, i'd rather 4k over 1080p at 60fps.

Difference is amazing. Most older games, say from last year and before can be ran at 4k 60fps. Witcher i get 4k 60fps on my 1080 gtx

would have got a 1080ti but that wasn't out when i got my 1080. Pretty sure the 1080ti is the price now what i paid for my 1080 back about 1 year ago now.

Samsung 4k screen. older model that requires display port 1.2 to get 60herts but thats find as the 1080gtx has thais. HDMI only goes up to 30hertz, sucks because i'd buy a ps4 pro or xbox one and could plug into my 4k screen, my TV is only 1080p

I have a 980ti and I would buy a new GPU before the new Vive pro.

I have personally found that Skyrim VR can get a little choppy with TA, and dynamic resolution off. But with SS on. (this to decrease the blur.)

So now I have the super sampling turned down, and the grass distance set to about 1/4.
It still looks cool, and it plays well. ✨

But sadly the tree billboards, and mesh lod's can look quite nasty at times.

I really dont understand this as I have VorpX, and have played original skyrim with about 300 mods installed, and it was about the same performance as this with 5 mods on. (so far)
But Im not a fan of VorpX, so I got this, and am pleased I did. Its a good game.

Not sure if there going to be a work-around, for a performance boost, like with FO4 VR.
If anyone reading this knows one, please let me know.

But I also would consider...

That this year (at some point.) the new 2080 GTX GPUs. are coming out.

And then the 1080, and the 1080ti's will (or should) drastically drop in price.

I cant afford to pay £1000+ for a 1080ti, and TBH I would still wait until after the 2080s drop, if I could.

Just a couple thoughts there.

And as a last point, Again there are quite a few new HMDs in the works, and slated for near future.

And I'm sure I am not alone in thinking Knowing, that £800 quid for a slight upgrade to the existing Vive, for existing Vive owners, is a complete insult.

But again, unless your desperate for a slight DPI boost, and earphones, it might be prudent to stick with your current Vive, and wait a little, and see how the prices stack when there is a LOT more competition.
As well as new features from new "players" bringing HDMs to the market.

Just a thought, hope it helps..

OFC, you might be rich, 💎 (unlike a lot of us.) and then none of this matters. so "go for it."

With the price of video cards and NVidea next gen probably out soon I think you would be better off sticking with SkyimVR first, your 980Ti is definitely fine for that. Then go for FO4 when you do upgrade. I keep pushing my 1060 GB on Skyrim and I'm astonished at the performance and how I good I have everything looking now and I still haven't reached its limits. I have graphics preset set to High, dynamic res and TAA off, increased all fades distances, Steam supersampling set to 2.0 and I've added a number of texture mods. It is running impossibly good. And that's with my Odyssey pushing out all the extra pixels.

[Bob]

Yeah right decision, wait >>>>buy Volta first, top of the range ofc ... by that time the Vive Pro probably will be cheaper than it is now , especially if the Rift 2 release date is published.

oOoOo

[krylke]

I bet Skyrim will work great. Fallout 4 not so much. I can’t get fallout to work great with a 1080ti with the original vive :-(

[--ranXerox--]

fallout 4 vr looks great in the vive pro. its just crazy. I been fiddling with the taa and supersampling and its sharp enough already and extra sharpness is gravy.

The quality of the vive pro is like vive being smudged visuals vs prestine visuals but you still see SDE on both. Less on the pro.

I wish I can explain it better but if you have cash to throw around, I highly recommend this. If you are tight on a budget, not worth it.

the game runs super smooth on a 1080ti at 200% SS at maxed settings and mods on top. that's with a standard vive. but to be ready for upcoming stuff this year i would definitely upgrade your gpu before going for the vive pro.

How do you run it at those settings smoothly. I have a normal GTX 1080 and the minute I turn off dynamic resolution and slide that SS up even a slight bit I notice judder when turning left and right with the controller on Vive. Does the Ti makes that much of a difference? My CPU is an Intel Core i7 6700k @ 4ghz. Am I doing something wrong?

i have the 1080ti too and SS 2.0 is a cake walk. If I play on medium settings I can comfortably play at 3x SS without reprojection.

[--ranXerox--]

funny you mentined SS. I left my vive pro at 100% because it doesnt need increase.
