Benchmark Result Discussion

[trety]

Hi Folks, I'm trying to get my head around these results. I've heard people say you should expect a round a 50% fps drop between desktop and VR, but I've got a massive drop. In fact it seemd to sit at 30fps rock solid for the first few tests almost like it was limited.
what am I missing?!
Thanks in advance.

People says performance is usually like a half cuz they comparing 1080p to NATIVE 'common' HMD res.
Vive Elite native res is 2880 x 1700, seems like U trying to use it at x2 scale?

Ged366, Yours settings are way too high for G2 too, unless it was intentend for comparision with Bob.harris12

I'm not sure I'm the best to explain this with my broken english but it's normal to see higher res to have a native res, I will try to find the post on reddit it will be simpler ?

Unless someone explain it before I find it I will back update it.

I mean i'm not sure if Vive needs to run VaM with steam vr, or it has some native system, but if it's via steam VR... U might have render scale in settings on 'auto' or even 200%

 

[Bob.harris12]

Thanks for the replies.
I had a bit of a play about with the settings in steam VR and seem to have improved things. Haven’t run the full test, but the first warmup runs around 45fps average so that apparent 30fps limit has been lifted. I’ll have another play in the morning then do a full benchmark and post my findings.

I know what you mean. I did wonder about the high resolution, but that’s it set to 100%. If I lower it menus start to get quite blocky.

There the link, in short it have to do with how fresnel lenses work and yes my result was with resolution on "auto" in SteamVR, like Bob said If I lower it even by a notch text start to get aliasing.

Hi Mates!

I'm wondering what to expect from upgrade a 3080 to 4070 ti, 4080 or 4090 with meta quest 2.

Tom's hardware says in 4k:

GeForce RTX 4090 100.0% (116.0fps)
GeForce RTX 4080 78.7% (91.2fps)
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 62.7% (72.8fps)
GeForce RTX 3080 54.1% (62.8fps)

Can't find enough 4070 and 4080 vam benchmark resultss to check, but the 3080 and 4090 results are seems to be near 50/100% ratio. Is it correct to expect the other cards perform the same in vam as tom's article says?

 

[Tomb]

seriously you expect some true real sensible etc. "upgrade" [!?] in vam visual VRquality (besides some unrelevant slightly better faps per second) stepping to a 40xx from a still excellent 3080 .... with a zukkiniberg metarest-toy??

I'm just curious, and just expecting some test results.

 

[Bob.harris12]

I dropped the in eye res to 100% (the standard in Steam is 150%). I also removed any upscaling and this is the result.

Slightly better, but not as good as I was hoping for with the upgrade to a 3080. VAM really does make your PC work hard!

Am I right in thinking the FPS hones in on 30 / 45 / 90 due to the headset displaying at 90hz?

I actually forgot to link this too:

In short WMR+SteamVR have a bug which causing somewhat of double rendering frames, first it's rendered in native WMR then it copied over. Which is causing performance issues.
Thats why i was sugesting 100% resolution in steamVR settings, as it's reccomended in that reddit post.
Unfortunatelly unless VaM 1.x would have newer implementation of OpenXR we can't do anything more.

Good thing, VaM2 will run natively on WMR platform so this won't be an issue 'WhenIt'sDone'

Comparison Ryzen 1600 vs 5600 (using an 6700XT):

Marginal average performance uplift, but huge Baseline 3 difference (3x faster).

Comparison Ryzen 1600 vs 5600 (using an 6700XT)

Baseline 3 is the most cpu limited, so that makes sense... Just like the game itself, when there is more than one person atom in your scene. That's why this benchmark is far from perfect, it is close to unuseable for cpu and in game performance testing/comparison. For Vam I would always pair the same gpu with an higher end (single core performance) cpu than I would usually recommend for ordinary pc gaming.

Hi there, I'm a totally newbie just knew and bought the software from the steam.
So this is my 2nd post here.

I move my QA post from here https://hub.virtamate.com/threads/i...re-than-3-people.32581/?view=votes#post-88344
, since there are more people here.

Yes I did run the benchmark here but the results are made combining both cpu and gpu.
But unlike 3D mark, which is a software that separately evaluates the performance of the CPU and GPU and then combines them to calculate the overall performance score, the benchmark does not have that feature.

My question is, in order to handle soft body physics computation for 3-5 people (with a maximum of 15 people), I'd like to upgrade my i7-8700 CPU to an AMD R9 7950, an AMD Threadripper TR 3960X, or a WRX80 series CPU like the TR PRO 5975 WX be more suitable for my computational needs?

Here are the previous post screenshot.








VAM is a single-threaded software that supports multi-core processors and multi-processor environments, but at least in INTEL's CPU, it has poor performance optimization for logical processor technology.
Here are those YT video demos

 

[Ged366]

why people insist mentioning only a confusing "theoretical" [???] "100%" setting in crapware bugged steamVR "advanced" general settings if there is [cheers!] instead a second more useful evident banal numeric value?
So what when (for instance) you select your own custom resolution for the reverb G2 ?

From what I understood (coming from WMR dev) you cant think of HMD lcd res as a flat screen, on flat screen each image has the same resolution (1/1 pixel) as the display.
On HMD the only 1/1 pixel is on dead center the more you go to the edge the more the image is stretched (this is a trick to achieve the 100° FOV on such tiny LCD panel) so 1 pixel of the native image coming out of the GPU is stretched on 1.5 pixel of the HMD, then the fish eyes lenses undistord back the image.
So to get 1/1 pixel on peripheral view we need 1.5x the actual res.

But frankly the peripheral view is so blurred and filled with chromatic aberration that one could wonder what's the point to stretch it to get better result in this area.
Everyone its taste on this one.

Hello everyone! I'm interested in upgrading my PC for VAM. I currently have a AMD 5800x, 64gb ram and a RTX 3070ti, I play in VR on the Quest 2 via Virtual Desktop.
I was hoping to get some information form this thread, but the results vary greatly, and sometimes people with similar machines achieve very different results.
So perhaps someone more experienced could answer some of my questions:
1. How come physics time is dependent on rendering resolution, are the physics calculated per pixel?
2. Has someone checked DDR4 vs DDR5 performance?
3. Will a 5950x processor or a RTX 3090 be a better upgrade for me? Or is only a new Intel 13000/ AMD 7000 series processor able to make any significant fps increase?
