Eternity Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Thanks for the information. I updated mine and unfortunately, if anything, it's worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexdt Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hello Eternity, We fixed ours really easily by updating the BIOS and forcing the PCIE speed to GEN3 (We used a full PCIE port). Here's our youtube channel with our results from the troubleshooting. If you need to troubleshoot more and our steps on the video description aren't working let us know I can try to help you more.

Amorgeddon Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Unfortunatly no improvement with the new vive wireless software.. It looks that i only have one 3.0 Slot for my gpu.. now what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthesis Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Did you try 's video solution?Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorgeddon Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 are you kidding me :)? Have you read my last post? I only have one 3.0 pie.. Or is gen 3 something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthesis Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Some motherboards can allow you to force PCIe slots to run in gen3 mode. I don't know if that will help, but other users have suggested it might. I recommend you try it at the very least. As far as I can tell, 3.0 is not a requirement as we've had 2.0 PCIe users make it work, so if you can change the settings in the BIOS, please try that. If not, let me know and we'll try another avenue.Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorgeddon Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 This is my motherboard.. im not that techsavy.. maybe you can tell me what to do? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternity Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Changing to GEN3 definitely improved performance (the performance had become much worse to the point of not even being able to read text for the entire time the application was launched with the most recent update), but it certainly did not fix it entirely. It still jitters and has resolution drop persistantly, just not to the point that it makes games 100% unplayable. I also tried every other GEN configuration just to be thourough, with GEN3 on both slots giving the best performance. Now, one thing I just noticed when moving my WiGig card back to the second PCIe 3.0 slot (I can only force PCIE1 and PCIE3 to Gen3, PCI2/4 cannot be set in my bios) that may actually be the entire problem on my end is that when I unscrewed the wireless receiver's cord, the pin stayed behind inside the card! It still runs, but I would imagine the pin isn't supposed to come off, and that may be the source of my issue at this point, as the GPU graph actually shows everything in the green at a consistent 1.2ms, spiking at most to 3.0ms periodically, so I may just need a replacement card sent out. Another thing worth noting, the current SteamVR beta tanks the performance, putting games back into the unplayable domain. Reverting back to the current stable build gives the best performance. Did you set all your PCIe slots to GEN3, or only the slot using the WiGig card? I also will say, regardless of this resolving my wireless VR issue or not, changing over to GEN3 actually fixed some long standing problems I was having with my GPU just really not performing as it should, which I had chalked up to the GPU simply not being as good as I thought it was. After the change I can run my 4k monitor in 4k, and my 1440p monitor at 120hz without any problems, whereas before these settings caused a lot of strain on the system and flickering/artifacts. I had to settle for 1440p on both screens at 60hz, so thanks for that tip. EDIT: Why do you guys keep marking my replies as spam and removing them? That's the third time.

Eternity Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 .@Amorgeddon Honestly you're probably going to need to look up a guide on accessing your Bios and setting the PCIe slots to Gen3 manually if you're not that tech savy. Depending on your motherboard, you have to reboot your computer and generally spam the delete key (not backspace, delete) to enter your bios menu, then go to your advanced configuration, and then, for me it was my north bridge configuration where you can see the PCIe settings that are likely at "Auto" and can be changed to "GEN3", but your bios could be completely different from mine.

Amorgeddon Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Here is the manual of my mobo.. i didnt find any option to do this.. https://de.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z77AG41#down-manual Maybe i overlooked something.. but i guess im just **bleep** out of luck.. The strange thing is.. i dont have 100% cpu anymore, and in steam vr it shows no framedrops but it still pixelates on my like hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
