Horrible VRChat performance

[Aelita Sophie]

Hello there!

So, I'm quite aware that VRChat's performance is abysmal in general, because they use an out-dated unity. Only DX11 and their networking issues.

However my main concern that I should have plenty of horse power to have decent performance, but I just don't get the framerate I should have.

Usually when I'm in a room with a few people, I dip down to 45 FPS or sometimes even loser (like 20-30FPS which is not bareable with a headset on your face)

I use the Oculus Rift CV1 and the following hardware:

 

• 2x Intel Xeon E5-2690
• 128GB DDR3 ECC ram
• GTX 1060 6GB (Overclocked with a curve on the Core of about 190Mhz and 650 Mhz overclock on the memory)

When in a room with 90FPS, my GPU usage is usually around the 60% usage mark and my CPU right about 15-20%

When in a room with 45 FPS or lower, my GPU usage is about 20%, clocked down on its own and my CPU is a nice 10%.

 

In my eyes it doesn't make sense. I get that the bigger the room, the more players, the more load. However, for some reason VRChat decides to use even less resources to make up for it?

Changing settings like dynamic bone limitations, or block every avatar doesn't yield any difference.

 

Any idea how I could resolve this? Thanks!

Is this per core usage or total usage? You do have 16 cores

That would be total usage

Probably a really single threaded game, that would explain both the low gpu and cpu usage.

Your cpu is only max 2.9ghz.

 

Could you try your main rig with i7 4770k ~ 4.8Ghz ?

you should dial in and see what cores are active and if they're pegged at 100%

on my i7 4770k it was even worse.

There are no cores that are pegged at 100%. Some of then are slightly higher then others, but in general they are all around the 10% or 15-20% mark (when 90 FPS)
