  1. I am going to hijack a bit, how big deal is DFR? Quest Pro is the most affordable DFR capable headset. Quest 3 however beats it on every other metric expect DFR and local dimming and is half the price.
  2. I have been looking upgrading Q2 to something else and I have looked into pretty much every headset. Top ones are not in any particular order. Varjo Aero Quest Pro Pimax Crystal Each one of these has their own advantages and disadvantages. There is not a singular best one, it depends what is important to you. Pimax Crystal seems to be the king of the hill, but for folks in EU it is extremely expensive compared to the competition. There is also Quest 3, but it does not support DFR so it is not good fit for DCS. However if you are willing to for go that feature and are on budget it is the best choice easily. Some people even say it is better than Varjo Aero but I am bit sceptical about that. Older gen headsets like G2, Index etc. all lose to Q3 in every metric. However if you are unsure about VR or just want to try it out without big commitment second-hand G2s are cheap and it is excellent headset. I am personally leaning towards Quest Pro. It is decently priced, good overall, only major downside is the compression. Pimax Crystal is double the price compared to Aero or QPro here in Europe. Varjo seems to have dropped support for Aero. There are still no local dimming or reprojection which could come in handy on heavier missions. It also has abysmal vertical fov. Somnium V1 seems interesting but there is literally zero information about its pricing and real specs. Like we see with Crystal the specs on paper can be very different than in reality.
  3. Looks like no pre-order for Steam users.
  4. I guess I will counter with this Effing mess
  5. New info about Steam situation.
  6. Has anyone figured out what is causing the freezing when using Turbo mode on OpenXR with Quest 2? I have spent few hours changing every possible setting and nothing seems to help. The performance increase turbo mode offers is pretty incredible. I would love to get it to work.
  7. I think you missed the point. Optimizing ram now for 5800x3D would be mostly waste of time and money. Getting 64Gb(or even 32Gb) DDR4 set optimized for 3D is tempting option, but depending on performance of Zen4 3D cached CPUs it could be terrible idea. It is most likely more cost efficient just wait for performance tests of those CPUs and upgrade to Zen4 and DDR5 rather than get DDR4 that might give slight performance boost as temporary solution. Especially considering there won't be better CPU for this socket so this upgrade path is already dead.
  8. Even with 3080 10Gb after combining this method with this reddit posts tip I gained small performance boost. It isn't huge, under 10 fps on F16 Marinaras Free Flight, but it is something. It now rarely dips to under 60 on that scenario where as before it even dipped to below 50.
  9. 5800x3D and 32Gb of RAM. The ram was specced to be optimal for 5600x (Mhz, Ranks, CL). I haven't checked if 5800x3D would benefit from different specs on RAM and frankly I don't feel like getting another set of DDR4 when DDR5 is right around the corner when I do my next CPU upgrade.
  10. Can't say that there was any difference at least not on Marinaras Free Flight F16 on 5800x3D and 3080 10Gb. I will leave it in and see if I notice any changes. I could probably see very minor like 1 fps difference if I measures with CaptureX
  11. I bought it and after 2 weeks of testing I returned it. My 3080 10Gb gets better performance generally. XTX solved the frame drop issue I have with this card but other than that it performed worse. I would avoid AMD for now for VR.
  12. I ran my XTX 10 minutes on 3D Mark Speedway test. Hotspot never reached above 86c. I still decided to sell it. Subpar VR performance and recent announcement of DLSS support made me decide to get rid of it now rather than wait for fine wine and/or FSR support from DCS.
  13. This however does not prove that it will be fixed or when it will be fixed. Better skip XTX until the fix materializes for now.
  14. 5800x3D and 32Gb of RAM. I also have 3080. It works better than 7900 XTX. Heck, even 3060 Ti I had for a while worked better. The issue is XTX and/or AMD drivers. Reddit.com/r/AMD has several threads complaining about the issue. There are some indication it is just driver issue not hardware so there is some hope it will be fixed. As for now I would avoid XTX for VR. It is fantastic however for 3440x1440 resolution and non-vr applications which is shame. Only issue with 3080 now that fps death by VRAM has been fixed is frame time spikes. If I could get rid of those I would be pretty happy with that card.
  15. Let me know how your experience is. I have XTX and Quest 2. I have been trying to make VR playable with this card, but it is impossible. Well, depends what you are doing. Instant actions with solid 72 fps are fine. Multiplayer like Enigmas is just impossible without ASW and ASW on AMD cards does not work. 3080 with ASW is much much smoother experience than 7900 XTX.
