Gain fps by overclocking cpu amd fx 8370?

[II/JG11_ATLAN_VR]

Have a rift cv1, and got fps between 22-90 ,average with hud 25 ,without 44-45 ,graphical settings high, and oculus tray tool 1.8 no asw. Gpu gtx 1060 6gb

Will i get an increase by overclocking cpu amd fx8370? Normal 8x4ghz

Does this make sence?

You can try, but probably not a lot. Likely a little better CPU would help more - like a 1070. Ideal would be a 1080 Ti.

 

Definitley fly with HUD disabled, as you have observed it is a performance killer. Also 1.8 SS in Oculus Tray Tool is a bit much for your rig, I would suggest between 1.3-1.5 max.

Thx New GPU 1070 or higher not possible no money honey always fly without hud after Start procedure

You would most likely get almost 1fps per 100mhz CPU clock increase. Your decision if it's worth it.

Edit: chiliwili in post #8 has the correct numbers

But like Dburne said running 1.8 ss is a lot for a 1060 so that's your bottleneck. I have a 1070 and 1.3 ss is max I can get if I want to keep 90fps at "high" settings'

Ok will try between 1.3 and 1.5 thx

[chiliwili69]

you can set the graphics settings to Low or Balanced. 

The quality of the graphics doesn´t decrease. Only the range of the detailed view of the landscape and some shadows details.

Try it and you will see.

Thx switched to balanced 45fps only

[chiliwili69]

Your CPU is an AMD FX8370 which has a Passmark of 9000 (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php).

It is a mid-range CPU which will be fine for playing at monitor (FullHD) but it might be not power enough for VR at High settings, or even balanced.

 

I had a i7-4790 that had a passmark of 10000 and I sold it to upgrade to a i7-4790K to be able to overclock, so I gained some fps. (in VR about 1.5 to 4 fps per 100MHz). This is reported at

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/29881-overclocking-4790k-better-bos-performance

 

You should also be aware that if you play with ASW ON you fps will be either 90 fps or 45fps, but nothing in between. The ASW is an Oculus mechanism that as soon as it detects that your fps are lower than 90 (for example 85), it automatically renders at 45fps and interpolate the intermediate frames to produce an image at 90Hz (which is the refresh frequency of the display).

 

To put ASW OFF you should press Ctrl+NumPad1 and then your fps counter will be in whatever value between 90 and 0. (You can also deactivate ASW in the Oculus Tray tool).

 

I conducted a test to determine how the settings affect fps in a monitor and VR, and discover that High and Ultra are very similar. Balanced is quite close to High. And Low is far less demanding.

 

Try to put ASW OFF to know really where you are and try also with Low settings.

If fps are still low you can try to OC your CPU. But be sure to have a proper CPU cooler and to monitor the core temperatures.

switch to low fps remain max 45 fps average

 

asw off in tray tool  

[chiliwili69]

Set SS first to 1.0. (both in Oculus Tray Tool and SteamVR) and use Ctrl+Numpad1 during the game to be sure ASW is OFF.

Try to run the Oculus compatibility check.

Have you tried other games or sims with Rift?

 

What are the fps you get in a FullHD monitor/TV?

[II/JG11_ATLAN_VR]

hi i give up,
Facts on full hd tv on Ultra 60fps before

vr
turned to 1.0 also STRG 1 numpad ingame
max without hud 44-45 fps NO CHANCE

when you turn on the game in Hangar sometimes 90 fps always changing fps from low 1 to max 90 high

oculus home tell evertime yr pc cannot run oculus vr , test oculus GTX1060 and FX8370 didn,t meet requirements
thats nonsense, gtx 1060 is recommended !!! and oculus didn´t want any amd, my squadmate didnt have this message he has a FX8350 !!!!!!.
only

maybe Motherboard ASUS
M5A78L-M/USB3

•  

has only pci express  2.0. graphic Slot, not Version 3.0.dont know

i have to live with it no Money for new pc till 2019!

OP
What fps does your system pull in 2d mode.

I am Running
FX8350 @ 4ghz (not even turbo 4.2ghz)
GTX 1060 @ 1975mhz (not overclocked just locked to max clock always)
HDD (no ssd)
Windows 7 (home premium 64bit)

@ 1080P on Full Ultra all options on (but fsaa turned off)
I get 65-75fps with HUD ON
Or
I get 85-110 fps with HUD OFF..

@ 2160P(4K) on Full Ultra all options on (but fsaa turned off)
I get 40-50 fps with HUD ON
Or
I get 60-75 fps with HUD OFF

Big problem with this package mate is the motherboard for our AM3 CPU's
are all only PCI-E 2.0 i have yet to find a 3.0 AM3 Motherboard on the market.
PCI-E 2.0 lanes are majorly slower and lower bandwidth than 3.0
this is causing a bottleneck thats not CPU or GPU based but motherboard..

VR is a much higher load on system than single monitor Gaming in 2D mode.
a good comparison would be side by side rendering of 2 x 4K monitors in il2.

Asus Sabertooth 990FX/GEN3.0 R2.0

 

i found out that was the only mb with pcie 3.0 for amd 3+

 

but not anymore available

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]

thanks mate... i might keep eye out for one..
