question about GPU

[HazMatt]

I have a 1080ti with a 12100 using a quest 2. My frame rates are dropping down to the 30ies at times. I'm wondering if this is due to my GPU or maybe my CPU. Does anybody have a comparable system that they can let me know what kind of frame rates they get?

S!

 

Your CPU/GPU combo is totally adequate for non-VR gaming, but will struggle with VR as your frame rates show. A better GPU might help a little. A good place to check is SYN Vander /chillwilli69 VR thread, a lot of combos tested and also test procedures explained. Pinned at top of this forum section.

I got around 30fps with a 1080Ti and 8600k CPU. More troughs than peaks. The 3080Ti on the same CPU gave me around 50-ish, more peaks (70-ish) than troughs.

S!

 

Hetzer, you are held back by the CPU now.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at a 4070 but wasn't sure if the cpu would be strong enough to give me a good bump on my fps.

The 3080Ti isn't my sim rig any longer, that's now a dedicated 13900k and 4090.

[HazMatt]

So I'm guessing a 4070 would be powerful enough to run using a Quest 2 at max detail with a 12100 for now with a CPU upgrade down the road?

 

Also could I run 4k with this setup?

S!

 

@HazMatt Check the VR thread and do the test, gives a good indication

 

[HazMatt]

Um ya. I don't see a "test" I see a calculator that shows a 3% difference between a 1080ti and a 4060 at 4k resolution with the same CPU. Not sure how accurate that is.

 

I was hoping for real world feedback.

S!

 

There is a test you can run with IL-2 GB to see how your system fares. You would need a better card than 4060, preferably 4080.

Thanks. I didn't see the fraps thing earlier. (sometimes I need the crayons and the Big Chief)

 

I'm confused by: "You would need a better card than 4060, preferably 4080.

 

I was talking about upgrading to a 4070. Or is this something relating to the test?

I have a 12600KF/4070 with Pico 4 setup running just fine in IL2. Have to tone down the settings a bit, but it runs smooth at 72Hz. I would imagine you could run with atleast the same settings with a 4070. My settings in the post below.

I have another question that maybe some of you great minds can help me with

 

My kid place WoW on the same computer that I use for Il2. I use the Nvidia overlay to watch CPU/GPU ussage in both games.

 

When he is playing WoW the GPU is at 100% and CPU is around 40% with about 300fps showing.

 

When I use the same system with IL2 my GPU usage never goes over about 50%, my CPU usage is usually lower then 40% and my framerate is always showing less then 100.

 

It seems to me that the CPU or GPU should go to 100% in Il2 as well. I've messed around with the settings but it hasn't made any real difference.

 

Thanks in advance.
