VaM 1.x Hair collision in VR "POV ONLY" crash my FPS

[plopy]

I have a huge issue in VR, I cant use scene with atom having long hairstyle.
Because the moment the hair are close to the atom i pocess, my FPS are going to 1 digit.

For exemple if im viewing in VR a cowgirl sex scene while i pocess the male atom, the moment the female will bow to kiss "me" and her hair melt with my face, my FPS are dying instanly.

It started to do this several month ago, i tried to find a solution without sucess, for now i just give the girls bob hairstyle or ponytails, haha...

Go look on the hub for the standard benchmark scene by MacGruber. Run that, and compare to others' results in the discussion thread for that scene. You may find your computer is a potato. Running the benchmark should tell you where the bottleneck is.

That's normal. I get this too in VR. Hair is very expensive to render in VAM and for some reason eats more FPS if you get too close to it.
You only option are to lessen render cost of hair by:

• Reduce hair multiplie and curve densiity for characters hair. Remove hair parts one by one and see which affect most fps.
• Reduce MSAA setting. I find it hit FPS very hard when close to hair
• Reduce overall rendering resolution, similar effect as reducing MSAA
