Qcumber

The prices on Overclockers website have gone from £569.99 to £629.99. Not as bad as I expected. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-components/graphics-cards/amd-graphics-cards/amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-graphics-cards?sort=price_asc

What is your peripheral resolution? And what is your base setting in oculus link? Are you at the x1.3 setting (2745 pc)? That would make a centre res of equivalent to about 4100 px!?

Firstly, congratulations on managing to get a 5080. Secondly, it's encouraging to see that you get good results with the Q/OP. I have just upgraded to a 9800x3d and have a 5070ti arriving next week (hopefully). Could you please share your QVFR settings?

I think future prices are going to be closer to the rtx 5070ti. According to MooresLawisDead this is due to a mess up with AMD when pre-stocking cards back in January when the original launch prices were higher. This has resulted in retailer rebates. But this only applies to limited stock (13min 45sec). Edit: I think I will stick with the rtx 5070ti. I'm annoyed as I wanted to support AMD.

I got the 5070ti for £799 (MSI Ventus OC; MSRP here is £729). It arrives next week (I hope). I got it from Amazon so have 30 day return. I'll see what the AMD stock is like next week. The Rx 9070xt base price in the UK is £569. They all went from online stores immediately and all the store servers crashed. I was ready and refreshed the second it turned 1400 and managed to get one in my basket once but then could not check out. I think it's easier to get tickets for Glastonbury festival! I have owned AMD cards before and have liked them. However, DLSS is growing on me and it does not sound like FSR4 will come to DCS anytime soon. Update: Not good for future buying. Those who bought today were very lucky. https://overclock3d.net/news/gpu-displays/retailers-confirm-limited-msrp-pricing-for-amd-rx-9070-series-gpus/

It looks like the only reason to buy a 5070ti is for DLSS. That means about £200 extra just for DLSS! I have ordered a 5070ti but am now considering sending it back and buying an Rx 9070xt (if I can get one). Impossible to get one today. Hopefully the stock supply will keep up with demand over the next couple of weeks.

I managed to get a 5070ti at a decent price close to MSRP so went for that. The second hand 4080 market is inflated too. I was also considering a 9070xt.

Might be a frame time issue as I am using QVFR so it could have been spikes of CPU peaking!? Some of the cores were pushing 80% plus with my 5800x3d. I just upgraded to a 9800x3d. All cores are now about 40% max. Now I'm seriously limited by my GPU. 5070ti hopefully arriving the middle of next week.

Just upgraded my CPU motherboard and RAM and a clean w11 install. DLSS 4 is looking better. Less ghosting against the ground. Also updated to today's release of NVIDIA driver so not sure if it's this or hardware!?

Offtopic but I'm still finding some ghosting issues with DLSS/DLAA. That's why I was considering the rx9070xt. Similar performance to a 5070ti (according to AMD) but cheaper. Plus I couldn't get hold of a 5070ti and didn't want to wait months. I am now hoping that DLSS will continue to improve.

Very much so Just managed to get a 5070ti from Amazon for £799 which was very unexpected so given that this is DLSS4 etc I think this will suit me better than rx9070 xt. Good OC potential.

I'm seeing the same. If ASW kicks in it's no longer smooth as it used to be. I had not considered that it was not working. I need to try comparing ASW and forced to half refresh.

If the overclock potential for the Rx 9070xt is as good as the 7800xt then performance could equal the rtx 5080 FE base performance. Estimated based on information from tech-power-up reviews and the official AMD performance presentation. Starting point is an assumption that the FPS of a factory OC version of the Rx 9070 xt at 4k is similar to rtx 5070 ti (85 FPS). Overclocking results for the Rx 7800 xt range was about 13-15%. If this translates to the Rx 9070xt then it could give 96-97 FPS. Baseline performance for the rtx 5080 FE is 96.7 FPS. I hope this is the case

For BVR combat DLSS 4 with preset K is very good. For WW2 or cold war dog fights the ghosting is still very noticeable and significantly affects spotting. For this reason I have reverted back to MSAA. As I use QVFR the performance with MSAA is the same as DLSS (perf), and better than DLSS (quality).

I am waiting for the independent reviews in the 5th and then will look at local pricing and availability. If I can find a 9070xt for £600 I might be tempted. So far it looks similar to the 5070ti. Another factor is overclocking. The 50xx series so far have good OC potential (10%+). I am hoping the 9070xt will be the same. The three options for me are: 5080, 5070ti and 9070xt. In the UK the cheapest 5080 with any chance of availability is £1200 and that's using a tracker bot for Amazon spot sales. Most are £1400-1500. If I wait I might be able to get one for £1050. The cheapest 5070ti is £779 but there is no stock. If the 9070xt is as well stocked as AMD are saying and they are close to MSRP then this might be a good option. Half the price of a 5080 with 85% of the performance.

Thanks for the WW2 Marianas update. I am very much looking forward to this. Any "hint" about when we might see it? I am patiently inpatient.

Just use NVIDIA profile inspector. It's a lot easier than DLSSTweaks. I also find that using DLSSTweaks causes a lot of CTDs for me with preset J or K.

Use OXRTK or set centre and peripheral res to "1.0".

I find that preset F has more noticable ghosting than K.

K is the best but there is still ghosting of aircraft close the ground or sea. Distant spotting is difficult too, due to blurring, and there is some lost of contrast of objects against clouds. You can mitigate this to some degree by increasing the resolution but this then offsets any performance benefits of using DLSS. Expectations of DLSS varies depending on user and situation. For BVR modern jet combat it works very well. For WW2 or early cold war then the close nature of dogfights means the artifacts are a lot more noticable.

Mute all notifications in the headset. There is a single tab in the quick access menu.

Looks like you are using an old version of VD. The latest is 1.33.4 (5/2/25). I would advise updating and seeing if that helps.

I get this sometimes too. It is when I am running an intensive module such as the F4. When FPS remains persistently below 72 and VRAM is maxed out. It happens more with J than K.

Has anyone got any experience with an rtx 5080 in VR yet? Most reviews suggest a decent overclock which takes the 4K performance close to a 4090. Just wondered how this translates into VR performance.

Thanks for your replies but I am really looking for a direct comparison between the quest pro and crystal light. Someone who has experience of using both headsets.
