Given the falling gpu prices I'll find myself soon in need of buying a new gpu. How do AMD gpus do in VAM? Should i get a 6800xt and enjoy the bigger vram buffer, some more money in my pockets and less heat going through my already toasty room for what should be pretty much equal performance, or should i get a 3080?
I already found the chart on reddit and the only amd gpus are either old or not for gaming
I'd wait until 2 comes out before investing cash in a new gpu. VAM sucks on any GPU because the problem has always been its SINGLE THREAD CPU USE.. So that nice multicore CPU in your machine there, yeah VAM only uses one of those cores! Lame but he claims with the release of 2 thats fixed in the game engine he uses. We shall see.

Just a quick ask; I'm running on a 1660 Ti, my frames are great on Desktop but hot garbage even on the lowest settings on my Quest 2. This just my specs or is there something I should be looking for to help gain me some Frames in VR :HideThePain:
See my other reply in regards to VAM and why its not your computer.
SO just so everyone knows, I have an i9 CPU with a RTX 3090. My gaming machine oozes power, and my electric bill shows it each month. In vam my performance is no better than what i was getting with an i7 with a 1080GTX.. So don't waste your hard earned money thinking your new GPU upgrade is going to fix your shitty vam performance because it WONT!!! It will take them actually using more than 1 single stinking cpu core and moving some of the math off to the GPU (like modern games do) for you to see any real performance bump. This is a software/game engine related problem and wont get fixed until meshed releases 2 (AS LONG AS ITS ACTUALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE DAMN IMPROVEMENTS!!)

Could someone explain to someone who does not know ANYTHING about this application what it is, what it works for, how it works, etc.?

It's the most dumb-shit thing dude. Active thread, like 850 pages, great engagement... makes "perfect" sense to destroy it for no fucking reason whatsoever. I mean.. what the heck is the harm in having a thread where dudes share links... I mean.. for real... ok.. rant over.

Virt-A-Mate is DAZ with physics that renders in real time. A virtual doll playset (or 'action figures' heh get it) but for porn. It's complicated and strange and finicky, but there is absolutely nothing else like it.

Well, i will tell whos probably NOT making that decision. skinny blonde dude duderson who smokes weed and is chill as fuck, who says things like "yooo man" and "what up?" If i had to put money on it, its probably a overly sensitive neckbeard with Asperger's who has that kind of habit where he needs to control things and make arbitrary rules and criteria's. Or idk maybe I'm wrong who knows.....

Assuming you downloaded a .Var file and put it into the AddonPackages folder in the game directory, the easiest way to open it is just selecting "Scene Browser" in the main menu, then sort by "New To old".

If it doesn't show up in the Scene Brower, open the Package Manager

Sort by scenes and click on the scene you want to open

Then on the right side of the window click open scene

I honestly have no idea why they would close the other sharing thread when its really active. Its not like its too hard to find stuff even with nearly 900 pages.

Maybe just limiting the thread size to 200 pages then automatically generating a new thread would make things alittle easier to navigate.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but, I had grown fond of just checking in on the thread to see what new stuff was going on, new files, etc but always knowing I could just search the thread archive for old stuff. I still don't understand what the problem is with having a big thread.

Oh well, we carry on...
