Recommended settings NVidea GTX 1070 for Rift

[sford52]

I'm looking for the suggested settings for getting the best visual from Rift on a GTX 1070 card.

I've been through the support section of the site https://support.oculus.com and haven't seen anything.

Searching online yields:

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/390660-Oculus-Rift-Any-obvious-settings-for-performance...

I've tried running C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics\OculusDebugTool.exe but not sure how to use it to tune my settings.

I'll continue searching but wondering if anyone has any thoughts.

Note I am using most current versions of Rift and NVidea driver.

I ask because my lines in Home 2 are a little jaggy.
Thanks!

No, there are not settings you should mess with, at least in terms of Nvidia. You can set super-sampling, i.e. with OTT, but I would in general recommend against it unless you have a really killer rig (GTX 1080 or above). Otherwise it will not perform well.

Thank you @cybereality.  So, a quick follow up, if I tune it for best performance for Microsoft Flight Sim (ms-fsx-se) would it degrade rift? Or would they be mutually exclusive?

Always have the "best performance" set globally in Nvidia settings. Home 1 and 2 are running at exactly the same resolution. 

You can get rid of the jaggies by disabling "automatic graphics quality" in home and setting it to High ... your 1070 will be plenty enough. (just don't supersample)

Excellent!   Thanks LZ and Cy

Use everything on highest settings. It makes your card work harder but it works better!
Only switch OFF Blur & Depth. Use what AA you get best of (SSMA will probably be ok as the best)
Shadows either High OR Ultra
SS=1.0
HMD SS=1.25 upto 2.0 (experiment here)
Use latest Nvidia 416.16 as it is the best yet.
Re-plug in your Video Cables to allow DASH Pull Out Windows to work with Browsers but anything like YOUTUBE will not work if you go Fullscreen Browser.

I have a 1070 and super sample with ott all the time and I am fine.  Usually don't go about 1.5 unless it's to watch videos, but usually 1.25 is a safe go to setting.

I fully agree - use Oculus Tray Tool (OTT) and set a global super sampling value that'll work with most games. 1.5 should be ok for many games - if not, make profiles for games that need lower ss. 

These games work perfectly on my GTX 1080 in 90 fps using super sampling at 2.0 (and 1.5 is *much* lower) - so you should be able to get 90 fps ss 1.5 on your system with no trouble:

Games:
Beat Saber
Racket: Nx 
Transference
Moss
Blaze Rush
Space Pirate Trainer 
Witchblood 
The Invisible Hours
Kin 
Thumper
Windlands 2
Bend the Light 
Mage's Tale
Rez Infinite
EVE: Valkyrie - Warzone
Killing Floor: Incursion
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Merry Snowballs
Along Together
Proton Pulse
Luna
Ocean Rift
Anshar 2

Apps:
BoxVR (is it a game!? 😉
First Contact  
Dear Angelica
Wonderful You
1943 Berlin Blitz
Oculus Dreamdeck
Henry
Allumette
The Great C
Apollo 11
The Blu
Classic Home (Core 1.0)
Home 2.0 - low preset (Core 2.0)

Some values to consider 😉 Pixel Density = super sampling res. 



OTT is set something like this on my system - just set super sampling to for example 1.5 and see how it goes:

Has this option been removed? I cannot find it anywhere.
