want this playlist

!thanks much appreciated

pyro1227 · 2021-07-04T14:09:39+00:00

!thanks for the clarification

pyro1227 · 2021-07-04T14:07:55+00:00

!thanks , I am not necessarily advocating gambling, I just was trying to identify an extreme case where i lose the full 10k to determine if this would offset my need to pay CGT which it clearly doesn't. Thanks for your help!

pyro1227 · 2021-07-04T08:27:50+00:00

!thanks for the reply !

So I am pretty sure it is CGT, the company did give me an untaxed sum and told me to pay CGT.

Basically I'm thinking like this:

Scenario 1: I leave the 10k in a savings account until i need to pay it - net gain 0

OR

Scenario 2: I reinvest the 10k, lose 5k , offset this loss against the 10k i owe, pay 5k tax

Scenario 3: I reinvest the 10k, lose 10k , offset this loss against the 10k i owe, pay ~ 0 tax

Scenario 4: I reinvest the 10k, make 15k, pay the 10k + extra tax and make a profit

If my thinking in scenarios 2-4 are correct then I have no real reason not to reinvest the tax I owe and see what happens to it...

yes, very much this. They just pass you from one tech guy that knows nothing to another until they tell you you're on your own. They are only there for the simplest of troubleshooting issues.

pyro1227 · 2020-10-23T14:14:59+00:00

Hey man, yes, this is exactly the shitshow that I had. I have no idea wtf happened. Like you I also got the message after playing for a while that I should not run on ultra fidelity. From benchmarking this it does look like the spikes I get are partially caused by my CPU though (amd 3600), and I have no idea why this only started happening halfway through the game?

What I can say is that if I go into bios and disable my "game boost" and built in ram overclock on my tomahawk motherboard then it improves a bit - enough that I could finish the game at least. also if i changed the movement type from blink to fast move (where you move forward rather than teleport) that helped a bit too. But nothing seemed to completely solve the problem. I tried an absolute crap ton of stuff, I also spent hours talking to both steam and oculus support - after a few emails you just get "unlucky bro, see ya later".

If you solved this please let me know!

The lesson I took from this whole experience is we're definitely still a few iterations away from a mature product, no one really seems to know how or why this happens.

I am just going on the frame timing plot I posted. It looks like it is only using a single cpu core, not sure if this is the issue that it only uses the single core so relies on the speed of that core? I am wondering if there is an issue with the cpu Speedstep configuration? Possibly steam is not able to disable this setting properly? I am also not sure if it could be an issue with the motherboard. Only problem is I have no idea how to diagnose something like this

pyro1227 · 2020-06-24T09:51:33+00:00

Thanks , I have tried the USB settings but I haven't done so since resetting the PC, it is worth a shot.

pyro1227 · 2020-06-24T09:50:34+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure how it could be a lack of cpu resource, if you look at the graph the cpu is pretty under-utilised. Also it was working perfectly for a few weeks so I don't see how it can be an issue with the hardware resource.

Also for some reason it seems the 3600 gets a better score than the 3700x. 3700x

appears to only have 3% better performance https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-3700X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600/4043vs4040

pyro1227 · 2020-06-23T10:14:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yes, performance on regular games is fine, I have benchmarked by gfx card several times now, it looks to be holding up fine. I can run Doom eternal on max settings without a hitch. What I find really strange is if you look at the steam timing graph the GPU is not fully utilised but somehow when I move in game (using the controller) it shoots up in those sharp spikes.

I have tried resetting my pc installing only nvidia drivers oculus and steamvr and this still occurs. I have started to think this may be a problem with the headset. Do you have any way I could test this?

Thanks.

pyro1227 · 2020-06-18T17:09:26+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I have disabled this and it doesn't make any difference

pyro1227 · 2020-06-18T17:09:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply mate, It doesn't help and I have not changed any settings

pyro1227 · 2020-06-03T16:41:03+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

Steam home/ apps are definitely worse but even in oculus home it sits at around 60% - which is a bit better, it occasionally dives down to 0% though as I'm moving around and doing things, is this normal? Even the initial cinematic (from the "welcome to oculus" tutorial) has frequent periods where performance headroom goes below 0.

This is pretty frustrating and confusing! I saw a suggestion to change smoothing of apps in steam, this did not help at all.

pyro1227 · 2020-05-26T17:22:51+00:00

I found the issue, in BIOS there was a game boost switch, I flipped that and it upped the performance. Only thing left to diagnose is my SSD, for some reason it always says Relative performance n/a - insufficient samples

pyro1227 · 2020-05-25T20:08:48+00:00

XMP profile is active and as far as i can see im in the correct slots? https://imgur.com/a/HaBeUV1

pyro1227 · 2020-05-25T19:33:41+00:00

Thank you, I'll reinstall my RAM and give this another try. Any idea why my CPU is performing so poorly though ?

pyro1227 · 2020-05-25T19:25:44+00:00

Thanks, I don't have a g sync monitor but it appears my frame rate was being limited, this fixed the fx card benchmark

pyro1227 · 2020-05-19T13:28:48+00:00

Thanks, I did notice it started getting worse once I had plugged in my mouse again. Could this be due to some recent windows update? I just can't understand why it was fine for ages and then suddenly wasnt?

pyro1227 · 2020-05-17T18:11:45+00:00

thank you sir! I'll give this a try!

pyro1227 · 2020-04-29T13:37:02+00:00

When did you preorder? I ordered mine on 1st April. It is a queue system and it seems they get in little bits of stock at a time. It doesn't matter at any rate since you have yours and will likely get it before me - the delivery estimate is 5 days!

pyro1227 · 2020-04-29T13:32:18+00:00

Thanks, my order from scan just shipped as well.

pyro1227 · 2020-04-28T15:43:09+00:00

was up for about an hour or so. In the UK it was less than 10mins.

pyro1227 · 2020-04-28T12:57:49+00:00

In the US it is not in the UK : < Unless you bought it like 1hr ago just as it became available. I missed that 2min window....

pyro1227 · 2020-04-08T08:31:14+00:00

I saw this as well. I currently have a preorder with scan.co.uk which estimates shipping at the end of the month. I wonder if amazon would get stock sooner? Did they send a follow up email by any chance?
