The optimization of the app has received mixed reviews, with users reporting significant performance issues on Oculus Rift, while those using HTC Vive with a GTX 980 or better experience smooth performance and high-definition visuals. Some users noted juddering and performance limitations, but others were able to achieve high supersampling without any slowdowns or stuttering, particularly on the 980ti. Overall, performance seems to vary greatly depending on the hardware used.
“If you have a Vive and a GTX 980 or greater, this app will run like a dream.”
“Higher definition performance with lots of juddering.”
“Eventually, in late 2018, I was getting tired of how awful Bigscreen's performance is or how restricting other apps are.”
“It seems Oculus Rift has performance issues with this app; I can't say whether that's true or not, but if you have Vive and the 980 or greater, this app will run like a dream.”
“- Higher definition performance... lots of juddering.”
