Question by Gureen_Ryuu · Oct 30, 2016 at 07:38 PM · vr graphics performance

What are some of the possible reasons that disabling shadows decreases performance rather than enhancing it?

This is happening in the current scene I have. A 3 story building, putting hard shadows will make the game run a little choppy..

I decided to remove the shadows completely, and instead of getting smoother gameplay, I ended up with quite the dip in FPS..

I'm making the game for Gear VR. What possible reasons might there be for that happening? The weird thing too, is, it's not a normal drop in FPS, but rather a very apparent "judder", if that's what it's called.

I have no idea what's causing this.. It's rather weird that disabling shadow would cause this, rather than enabling them.
