Asynchronous Spacewarp or ASW applies animation detection, camera translation, and head translation to previous frames in order to predict the next frame.
Requirements
ASW requires the following:
- Oculus Runtime 1.9 or later
- Windows 8 or later
- For Nvidia, driver 373.06 or later
- For AMD, driver 16.40.2311 or later
Until the minimum specification is released, we recommend the following GPUs for ASW testing:
Manufacturer | Series | Minimum RAM | Minimum Model |
---|---|---|---|
NVIDIA | Pascal | 3GB | 1060 |
Maxwell | 4GB | 960 | |
AMD | Polaris | 4GB | 470 |
Testing ASW
To enable ASW testing:
- Open your registry editor.
- Navigate to HKLM\Software\Oculus VR, LLC\LibOVR.
- Create the DWORD AswEnabled key and set it to 1.
While testing your application with ASW, you can switch between rendering modes:
- Control-Numpad1: Disables ASW and returns to the standard rendering mode.
- Control-Numpad2: Forces apps to 45Hz with ASW disabled. Depending on the application, you are likely to experience judder.
- Control-Numpad3: Forces apps to 45Hz with ASW enabled. Enabling and disabling ASW will help you see the effects of ASW.
- Control-Numpad4: Enables ASW. ASW automatically turns on and off, depending on whether the app maintains a 90Hz frame rate. This is the default runtime rendering mode.
