Just tried AC in VR

I think there may have been an update to Oculus's ASW but I'm not sure.
I've just spent the day in full online servers with ASW locked on (45fps) and graphics settings:

PPD 1.7
Anistropic @16,
AA @4,
shadows on ultra,
Default PP on ultra,
smoke normal,
Mirror res normal,
HQ mirror,
reflection high,
reflection rendering frequency medium

There is a slight shimmering on letters/numbers and some shadows in the distance but it's butter smooth. Perhaps a bit of blurryness when moving your head quickly (if you're looking for it) but otherwise it's very playable. I think I'll stick with these settings for now as ASW seems to be doing a better job than before, either that or I'm just not noticing the blurryness anymore.

 

This is what I have been using:

Anistropic @16,
AA @4,
shadows on ultra,
PP overall medium,
other PP stuff on ultra,
smoke off,
Mirror res high,
HQ mirror,
reflection low,
reflection rendering frequency static

I might try reflections on instead of static today and see how smooth the gameplay is.

 

I went silly this afternoon since my last post and moved every graphics slider to maximum.
Still getting a solid 45fps and no blurryness. I'd argue that it's clearer than minimal graphics and 90fps. It certainly looks 100% better.

Glad to hear I am not the only one. Was never able to turn PP on due a stuttering ASW kicking in but now it’s smooth. I am worried though that now I have cranked everything to a moderate level my poor PC will die pushing itself to the max

 

VR improved my times around Silverstone National by a lot. Here are the times before and after VR:
Rx7: 1:10.131 became 1:07.305
Lotus Elise SC: 1:08.274 improved to 1:07.962
500 AC: 1:09.585 now 1:07.165

The times are nothing to brag about, it's the time gain which is awesome when compared to 2D pancake driving.

 

What was your setup before VR? Triple with correct FOV?

 

A single 27" screen and 54 deg FOV. I have the spec in my Spoiler sig.

 

Vive Pro - headset only - £800.

F#*k that.

 

Seems way too much, you can’t use it on its own, need the rest of the sensors and controllers. I’m still hoping for an Oculus refresh, same as current just with higher res, anything else is a bonus

 

So you would also need two sensors on top what makes 1180€ in total. Are the controllers a must? Yes or no... the price is just crazy!
What a shame that a Rift 2 won‘t come until 2019..

 

I have a question to those of you who are currently running VR with a 1080ti:
Do you think you have enough performance left to run the extra resolution of the Vive Pro without reducing graphics quality in AC ?

 

Yes, with a slight reduction in supersampling which wouldn’t be needed as much anyway due to the increased resolution. If you are considering buying a card now I’d hold off as new gen cards should be a month or two away and powerful cards like 1080ti have a fairly long service life so waiting a few months to gain a good bit more performance that you will use for a fair few years is worth it

 

Thanks !
I hope your right with the month or two
Last rumour i heard was late fall till christmas.
i can't wait that long if the vive pro will arrive in april as promised

 

I've just bought a rift. I have a 1080ti. Is there any link that explains how to setup the Rift and Assetto to get the best out of it.
I remind to read that openvr was a big boost.

Thank you for your help.

 

@rycil, there's quite a few benchmarks around here on the forum using rift + 1080Ti, including various graphics settings /CPU configs. Do the search. I might have time to point you to it later, but unfortunately not tonight.

So.. in order to run AC with a HTC Vive you simply need the HMD and at least one base for tracking, right? No need for two bases or the controllers right?

 

Yes

 

One of my bases shut down while driving but I didn't notice since the tracking stayed ok. In the pits I noticed that the car wobbled a bit like a muscle car (it was a GT3 car so no wobble IRL).
Once or twice I got a grey screen due to looking away from the remaining laser base. It was the one behind me which kept working. Fortunately I could get them up and running again so no mechanical failure yet.

 

Very useful guide! Thanks for sharing.

No information on Nvidia setup. Is it worth to have MSAA 4x?
