MSI Afterburner inside VR? (Rift-S user)

[SIA_Mal]

Hello,

Can i see the information presented by MSI Afterburner while playing in VR?

Got a Oculus Rift-S

Don´t know it.

For VR performance I use the fpsVR tool. It is just few dollars but it is great tool to visualize GPU and CPU frametimes while you are gaming.

Hey guys, FYI, these tools have been confirmed to lead to regular frame drops if using Nvidia cards RTX 2000 and 3000 series since drivers 457.3x.

 

You can measure performance with them and how the settings influence your game fps, but avoid benchmarking and gaming while having them enabled to stay clear of the frame stops.

It works with Steam API only sadly. And got some limitations with Oculus.

Seems like I5-9400f  is holding my 2070Super.

CPU at 100, GPU 60%.

@TWC_MalI do not know what type of motherboard you have but if have an Z390 type, you can always go for an (secondhand) i7-9700k(f) or an i9-9900k(f), kf is the one without iGPU.  Check what CPU your motherboard is supporting. Combine this CPU with a decent liquid cooler like the Arctic Freezer II 280 or 360 (depends whats can be fit into your PC case) and you can overclock to the needed 5 - 5,3 Ghz.  Without an Z390 motherboard I would wait, because right now hardware is become very pricey and as it seems the DDR5/PCIe5 systems will be released at the end of this year.

Thanks for the insight. MB is Gigabyte B360M DS3H. So i have to wait.

You can use Oculus Dash to pull any window into VR.

However I did try it once quite some time ago though, and it darkened the overall image in the headset some which I did not care for.

You would have to research how to do it though as like I said it has been a while since I tried it and I don't have the Oculus software installed at this time.

Thanks for the reply, will look for that.
