GTX 1660 Super Half-Life Alyx | Oculus Rift S Virtual Reality FPS test

if you want me to choose the best parts to build your computer and/or want me to make a custom build guide to the parts you have the go here: www.fiverr.com...
The video was recorded in 1920 x 1080 at 30fps and I test the game on Low/Medium and High fidelity options. All run fine apart from High which struggles a bit as there's often lag when running the game at high settings with a GTX 1660 Super. This benchmark was made using MSI afterburner.
Pc specs:
GTX 1660 Super
i7-7700
16GB RAM
500GB SSD running the game and windows
1TB HDD
Thanks for watching

Nice i'm gonna be using a 1660 ti so I should get a better experience with the higher settings!

[@CheapPCBuilder]

nice, a 1660ti will be more stable on higher settings in terms of frame rate

lmao the 1660 ti will barely get like 2 fps more than the 1660 super

bruh what does fidelity mean?

[@CheapPCBuilder]

it's the in game level of graphics. So low fidelity means low settings in the game

i7 10700, 16gb, GTX 1660 SUPER. HL:A runs GREAT for me.

[@CheapPCBuilder]

I did notice sometimes the i7-7700 would hold the 1660 super back in some places. How far are you into the story?

[@覃浩-o8u]

Is 60fps still enough for ALYX?🤔

might not feel that smooth but is playable

[@samarthkapil6579]

I have a 1660 so I guess medium would do okay? My cpu is pretty abysmal though it's an i5 9400F or something if I remember correctly

[@DeZzBeZooked]

I have the same gpu and cpu as you, did you get the game

[@agusega4261]

Do you run a liquid cooling system? Or just fans?

[@CheapPCBuilder]

It’s just fans, 3intake 1outake

[@LP-ic3sx]

Your GPU not being fully utilised signals that your CPU is bottlenecking it

[@CheapPCBuilder]

Doesn’t always mean that. In this case it does as the i7-7700 is struggling. But in some cases the game can be badly designed so it doesn’t utilise 100% of your graphics card

[@Mxodx191]

he's using a 4 core processor my friend has a 1660 super with a 3600x and he can play ultra at 80 fps fine

[@CheapPCBuilder]

back when i made this video, i used an i7-7700 could be something to do with that. The video's just meant to give a general idea that of how well it runs with this GPU, im sure that with the 3600 it runs better

[@davlogz7242]

So the super is supported on oculus software? Oculus doesn’t say that your device is unsupported for the specifications?

[@CheapPCBuilder]

the 1660 super works with the rift S in any steam or Oculus game. I once used it with a WMR headset and it said it was unsupported but it still worked

Good job! Can you test 1650super in VR games? I have not seen any tests in my country) Hello from Russia!

[@CheapPCBuilder]

Thanks, I don’t have a 1650 super to test but I think it should run most games at medium settings and others like half-life and boneworks at low settings with smooth FPS. I know a person who has a 1650 super and they say it runs normal games very well so I’d imagine that it will run VR games smoothly with low settings

Bruh I have a lot of screen tare and stuff cuz I have to have the oculus browser open because I have a quest 2

[@CheapPCBuilder]

I sometimes get that on a rift S because it overheats sometimes. kinda annoying, are you sure it’s because of the oculus browser?

[@acorde1768]

Are you using Link or Air Link?

[@CheapPCBuilder]

I'm using the cable that came with the rift S. It doesn't have the ability to work wirelessly. However I think that the wireless feature on the quest headsets is quite good so I wouldn't worry about possible performance problems or lag
