I don’t know why on my recently received 8K i’m still seeing the pixels on the screen, and the readability of the texts i can say is lower than on my Vive PRO.
I tried and compare on maybe the same time (to not lost the feeling) the following games:
Elite Dangerous
Fallout 4 VR
Skyrim VR
Steam VR Home
The feelings are the same on each one. When on my Vive PRO is normal see the pixels, I couldn’t expect it feel the image so pixelated it on 8K, as near the size of the pixels are the same that on Vive PRO. Also the texts are horrible. On Vive PRO, for example the Pip Boy I can read all perfectly. On the other side, on 8K is pixelated and the same time that blurred.
I tried with supersampling on all the sizes on the 8K (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) and the result is the same, I cannot have better image. Always blurred and pixelated. Also, when I get the controllers below my eye line I can see that the controllers start to double on each eye and I have fear that this can make my squinting.
I cannot understand why on a screen with this pixel density and resolution I can perfectly see the pixels on the screen, and also the image is so shitty.
Can anyone explain if I’m doing something wrong, or if it have the same problem?
Is it all so bad that SDE 8K is compared to VivePRo?
Could you take the same photo through the lens VivePro and 8K for comparison?
It seems to me that 8K should be much better than VivePro in pixelation, and readability should be better.
It’s strange that you compare 8K with VivePro. 5K + is comparable to VivePro by SDE, but not 8K …
The size of the pixels at 8K should be significantly smaller.
Your CPU might be affecting performance of tge 1080ti.
Switch Video resolution to manual to see what base gpu utilization is at.
When I tried it on my i5 6500 16g ddr4 2400mhz ram with my zotac 1080ti mini gpu utilization in steam was at 16% reccommended when set to manual.
After I upgraded to ryzen 7 2700x gpu utilization increased to 36% as I recalled.
Now I also don’t have LHes & controllers so tracking will also be utilizing you cpu heavier than my i5 setup.
I would try a free game(demo) like WarRobots VR without LHes & wands. If you own Gunjack also looks great & doesn’t require LHes. Just gamepad.
There is a Bottleneck calculator that while doesn’t weigh all things but will give an idea if your cpu is maybe restricting gpu performance.
After my upgrade visual quality & performance jumped greatly. If you choose to upgrade. I would strongly reccommend amd as the ryzen 5 2600(x) would be great & you will be able to use the ryzen 3000 series cpus which look awesome!
I believe it’s his cpu hindering his gpu as it was with mine before the upgrade especially with having a full setup the tracking would be heavy on cpu usage.
Or maybe a diagonal pixel pattern.
Although if he compares with VivePro, then there is also a diagonal pattern, then it should be familiar to him already. But why a pixel the size of a VivePro turned out is not very clear.
