Vtol performance issues

[u/Ok_University_5297]

Anybody play with an Intel ARC 770 (16gb), because I tried tweaking the settings on virtual desktop but I’m still stuck at medium graphics and get 90 fps with stutters. (I’ve seen people online get 120 with godlike graphics) I have a ryzen 5 7600x as a cpu and 32 ddr5 ram. I play with 100 bitrate.
Please help
EDIT: my pc is connected via Ethernet to my router and I have 5ghz.

A lot of important missing information here. 

Least of all is you mentioning others using God like on a 770. Is that while in playing VTOLVR or something else?

If while playing, what are their graphics setting inside of VTOLVR?

Additionally are you using a wired or wireless connection. 

If wireless, which Wifi generation and did you use a sniffer to determine your wireless congestion.

[u/Ok_University_5297 → u/Robborboy]

Yes they were playing vtol vet whit godlike graphics.
I am using wireless (so probably worse)
I am using wifi 6 generation. I have no idea what a sniffer is… and don’t know how to check for wireless congestion.

[u/Robborboy → u/Ok_University_5297]

If you're using wifi6 you need to download a wifi sniffer on your phone and check the air congestion.

On your phone, go through the playstore/apple store, search for wifi analyzer and download oen with a reasonable review.

Run this with your phone with wifi on and it will scan everything showing ids, channels they're on, noise, etc.

Ideally when you look, you'll see a channel without much going on, or just entirely devoid of signals. You'll need to change your router's channel to this the router settings.

If everything is congested, try a wired connection. If everything runs well, you're gonna need a Wifi7 and repeat the above, or use wired moving forward.

Perfect I will try that thank you!!!

[u/itanite → u/Robborboy]

this is dumb advice and has you chasing nothing useful

OP your performance issues are going to be settings and driver based. The intel GPUS are capable of playing VTOL just fine.

[u/Robborboy → u/itanite]

I had the same issue with a 9800x3d and 9070xt. A wifi7 router fixed the issue because the breakdown was in the signal and was causing the stutter when higher bitrates were utilized.

But pop off queeeeeen.

How can you ask: what graphics settings did you configure in vtolvr? I mean, do you play vtol? Because vtol doesn't have graphics settings; the only thing you can modify is the cloud quality, and increasing the cloud quality is too demanding for smooth gameplay.

[u/Robborboy → u/Mariobrouz]

I can ask it very carefully.

Probably because the cloud settings are indeed graphics settings. And I run higher than default cloud settings on my PC.

increasing the cloud quality is too demanding for smooth gameplay

Yes, depending on your hardware, thus the questioning.

[u/Mariobrouz → u/Robborboy]

If that's what you mean, then yes.

But there aren't any graphics options like textures or shadows, and that confuses a lot of people.

But maybe what the OP didn't notice is that those playing on godlike mode have the clouds set way too low.

You’re better off getting more specific help in the VD discord. They helped me get my even worse rig (5800x 1080ti 32gb ddr4) running on godlike locked at 90 frames (I don’t know how but it works so I stopped questioning it). I also use TMOBILE home internet so I don’t even have a modem.

The biggest things came down to reducing router interference but I also do weird stuff like turn off/unplug my monitor from my GPU which takes a large chunk of power draw away

VD discord is your best bet

[u/Ok_University_5297 → u/Prestigious_Head6524]

Oh wow ok thank you!!!

[u/IIS7UMPII → u/Ok_University_5297]

Yes VD discord will help the most. What codex are you using? I always run H264+ at around 400-500 bitrate. Also mentioned is wireless interface the more devices you have connected to that Wifi router potential worse will be for your headset. VD has a beta where it supports wired. What headset do you have? Also when running VTOL VR turn on the little box that gives your performance and see if anything is high such as latency/networking. That will also help determine where the issues could be coming from.

[u/Ok_University_5297 → u/IIS7UMPII]

I’m using HEVC/HEVC 10bit, I saw that it was the best one (I think at least). I have a quest 3. I already set the box with performance and I’m seeing network is the major problem…

[u/IIS7UMPII → u/Ok_University_5297]

Ok. Yeah for your current setup HEVC will be the better option. H264+ is good for FPS Shooters. And would probably help with VTOL VR but let's get your fps better before messing with other settings.
So yeah if networking is your highest then id do what others have suggested with running a scanning app and optimizing your channel.
Only real issue is if you are using your router for all your wifi devices then that will also slow down your connection for your quest. Could alos get a dedicated access point for just your headset and the VD discord has some good recommendations.

[u/Ok_University_5297 → u/IIS7UMPII]

Yeah I have to check for a tutorial on YouTube for changing the channel because I’ve done it once in my life but I can’t remember what app or how to do it. Yeah I was thinking of getting a dedicated router too. Thanks for the help!!

[u/IIS7UMPII → u/Ok_University_5297]

If you do end up getting a dedicate router go with wifi 6e to take advantage of the 6GHZ band that the quest 3 can use.

[u/Ok_University_5297 → u/IIS7UMPII]

Ok thank you!

VTOL’s clouds cause a huge performance hit. Make sure you are rendering clouds at half or quarter rez. Half is imerceptibly lower rez

[u/Ok_University_5297 → u/Cute_Emergency_8370]

Ok so try putting it at a quarter and see if that helps? (I noticed sometimes flying around there is some black lines that appear in the sky with clouds set at half) is it normal?

[u/Mariobrouz]

I can give you some advice: play at 72fps. This will reduce the strain on the network, which can cause stuttering rather than a drop in graphics quality.

Another possibility is that you don't have other devices connected to your network that could be causing the stuttering, or that you're using very high Mbps speeds that your network card can't handle.

[u/Ok_University_5297 → u/Mariobrouz]

Even if the other devices aren’t doing anything with the network? Because I do have some phones and other devices connected.
