SteamVR Basic Settings Explained + Potential FidelityFX and NIS Performance boost

Ойындар

How to start with your new SteamVR setup and how to install and use AMD FidelityFX and Nvidia Image Scaler with any SteamVR game. Mainly I am interested about racing and driving games and therefore interest in this tutorial is car games. As a example I show the performance boost that can be obtained when playing Dirt Rally 2.0 but this will work with most SteamVR games.
Virtual Reality is best way to experience Driving games and due to increased GPU prices these software solution are essential for development of VR and enjoyment. Additionally performance updates for upcoming Metaverse are essential for mass adoption.
This is a video about explaining all things I found confusing or interesting about how VR works and how to improve the performance.
This might or might not work for Oculus users - please let me know in the comments if you have any luck.

    It's taken me a long time to understand a lot of this, prior to this video; but this has taken guesswork out of some of it - and the FidelityFX and NIS interaction explanation was very helpful indeed, as it's something I've not played with before. Thank you for an excellent explanation and tutorial. I will be recommending this video and your channel to a number of my VR friends 😎👍🏽

    Thanks! I still feel bit confused about some of this stuff, but tried to do my research for this one. One thing I could maybe update is things about motion smoothing. I noticed that if GPU is working at 100% or near it, you start getting weird warping effects that that's why I recommend having it off. However if you set the setting so that gpu has some overhead, the motion smoothing can work really well and you can force fps to 45 but have it feel like 90. Works wonders in DCS for example

On the motion smoothing : i play currently Skyrim VR and i turnt it off because i got the feeling it robs fps and i dont like the warp effekt you mention. I prefer to turn the sumpersampling a little down in steamvr so i can get the 90 fps without sometimes warp. I still have to try FidelityFX , i´m excited how it turns out

    I'm curious - for the in-game resolution settings, what do you set those to? Do you try to match as closely as possible to the resolution per eye displayed in the Steam settings?

  • @Nizcik

    Vr games often have super sampling setting that acts the same as the resolution slider in steam VR. Then some games show separately a resolution for mirrored view of the VR on your flat screen. This resolution does not matter as it should just mirror what is happening in VR. Personally I try to have that mirror screen smaller than my desctop so I can interact with windows while in VR. The super sampling in game and the slider in steam VR will multiply so if you set 150% (1.5 multiplier in steam VR ) and same 1.5 super sampling in game settings - you end up with 1.5x1.5=2.25. You would get same end result by setting the steam VR slider to 225% and in game super sampling to 1 or other way round.

    Hi, I'm a complete noob when it comes to vr settings. I mostly play ACC but with a 2060 S GPU the res on my quest 2 is quite bad. I've tried all the settings on dlss and fsr on acc, but with no real improvement. I haven't as yet tried this openvr fsr mod and wanted to check whether this mod still makes sense after dlss and fsr have been made available officially on ACC? In other words, does this openvr mod improve performance over and above the improvement offered by dlss and fsr through the in game settings? Thanks much, S

    At the beginning you suggested leaving Steam global setting on default (for you, 150%), and then a few minutes later, you suggested adjusting Steam global setting to 100% and raising the per-application slider (or in-game slider) to 150%. Is there a reason for this?

  • @Nizcik

    @Nizcik

    Жыл бұрын

    Steam default setting should be optimized based in your computer parts and mostly it will work and that is fine. Idea of setting the global setting to 100% is to get more control. With this you will manually adjust the super sampling to a value that provides you best performance and picture quality. I would get some stutters sometimes with motion smoothing kicking in every once in while with the default settings. Manually I could tune the resolution to value where I know I will get smooth framerate throughout. And I can do this optimization for each game separately.

    If you mean SteamVR menu, you can click on a button on your headset OR menu/power on button on your controller OR from desktop go to small SteamVR window and go to settings there. In VR when you get the menu open there is a cogwheel on bottom left for settings and after that on bottom right you should be able to toggle between advanced settings or basic settings.

    Hey! I don't have Quest 2 so I don't have good advices. However in our community Barrel Rollers one person had issues in VR when they used Ultrawide 4k 120hz display. When plugging only 1080p 60hz monitor in, performance in VR was better. You can try lowering your monitors resolution and see if that helps performance in VR. Also in out Barrel Rollers community we have multiple VR users, so I recommend joining the discord (link in description) and we are happy to help troubleshooting these kind of issues
