  • optimization

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Optimization for this game appears inconsistent, with many users experiencing significant stuttering during VR video playback even on high-end hardware like RTX 3080 and 2080 Super. Performance tends to improve with fast NVMe drives and capable systems, but stuttering remains a common issue, especially under demanding VR video conditions. Some report smooth playback on less advanced setups, suggesting optimization may vary widely based on individual hardware and configurations.

    • “I recommend you use an NVMe drive for the best performance possible.”
    • “Mechanical drives may cause stutters and even some SSD drives can cause performance issues.”
    • “For those having performance issues playing videos, most likely your hardware cannot cope with VR and the video playback at the same time. I am running VR with the resolution set to 110%, Blu-ray 2D/3D movie with the file on a NAS on a gigabit network and have zero performance issues using GTX 780 Ti, i5-8600K, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM.”
    • “Recently getting lots of stuttering even when playing VR videos from the local fast NVMe SSD disk.”
    • “Horrific stuttering since running this on an RTX 3080, seemed to run fine on my old 1080ti.”
    • “I'm running a Valve Index on a 2080 Super, yet I get stuttering on potato quality 720p and lower VR video files in the same way as the super high resolution ones.”
