NEED HELP ON IMPROVING FPS!
My pc has RTX 3050 hybrid GPU (4GB dedicated GPU memory and 7.7 shared memory), 16GB RAM (40% used on idle), and 512GB SSD.
With 1 person scene or simply loading a look, I get up to 60FPS cap, when with 2 persons, it significantly drops to 18-25FPS, and sometimes lower with 3.
I tried redeyes' FPS plugin but it would only improve until 25FPS even if I turn off both the physics settings and put everything to low from the native settings.
VAM will always allocate all the RAM leaving 5-10% and with VRAM, only the dedicated memory is used.
Is it the RAM or the dedicated VRAM or something else?
What could be the issue here?
1. make sure you have few lights in your scene. You can even turn off all lights and modify Scene Lighting to make things look better. VAM will look more "anime" that way, but you'll get a big performance boost, especially in VR. IMO it's better to turn off lights and increase render scale in VR to 1.5 or more. You get more detail and it runs faster. If you have 3 lights in your vam scene or more, you're playing it wrong imo. Multiple lights are meant for rendering, not gameplay.
2. make sure you don't have too many hair items with physics. If you have a base hair, then a ponytail as a separate item and bangs as a separate item, you should turn off physics for the base hair. If it doesn't move much, you don't need physics.
3. make sure you don't have too many clothing items, and especially not with physics.
These are I think the big ones to look for. Other than these, it depends a lot on your PC and your vam scene. What you wrote is probably not happening in the default scene I imagine. If your PC is not very good, you might want to stick with hair that doesn't have physics (buns, etc). Same with clothes, only use physics for skirts/dresses. Other than those, you probably don't need clothes physics that much.
