Can VR get better if you turn off your computer screen because ??

Now I use VR and it works very well with the ASUS 3090 Ti

the question is.

Can VR get better if you turn off your computer screen because it is running at the same time as VR??

The graphics card sends out to both VR and computer monitor at the same time, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on VR when I turn off my computer monitor.



But remember from the old days, when you had a computer that wasn't powerful enough to run a computer game then you could stop running full screen and only a small Windows, then the game could run fine.

Think it has an impact on the performance of VR when computer monitor run at the same time??

your game won't run smoother because your computer is still rendering the game for your headset.

There won't be a noticeable difference.

If you only use your VR headset, and have other monitors unplugged, your PC will only have to render to your headset, for me it is rather noticeable because I do not have a "top tier" PC.

Yes, it does have a huge impact in many games. I run TV as monitor at 4k and has been running some benchmarks.
For example, native 4K, i get 14% lower fps in Steel Nomad vs 1080p. (benchmark runs 1080p both native 4k and 1080) 2363 vs 2062.
Same in Timespy. 10-15% lower fps. 10 062 vs 9028.
I was wondering why Arizona Sunshine remake runs so poorly on my PC. RTX 4060 and Ryzen 5 5500. Same with VRChat and recroom.

Solution was to pull off HDMI cable from the TV and voila. Arizona Sunshine remake is now running stable 90fps at medium settings. 4K TV hooked it didn't even run that well at low and effects off.

Next solution is to get a HDMI switch so i can kill the signal with a button when i go to VR world.
Remember, turning off won't do nothing because desktop is still rendered, you have to completely power off tv/monitor or just unplug it. You will lose VR Desktop but the gain in performance is VERY noticeaple.
