I feel your frustration. To be fair, I would think most 4090 guys are not running on a Quest 2 and pushing significantly more total pixels. I know a few mid-tier Nvidia GPU guys who fly at forced 36 FPS (72 Hz) & 45 FPS (90 Hz) with good results. ASW locked on or off? I could never make it look good and don't remember. I prefer to lower settings and achieve a natural 72 FPS. However, this may allow you to crank the visual eye candy. Don't forget to explore FOV and Fixed Foveated Rendering adjustments. Cheers & good luck

There are some guys running 4090s with lower settings in VR. What's your actual resolution setting in the Oculus App? Specifically, what frequency/refresh rate (72/90/120 Hz, etc) and Resolution (ex. - 5408x2736 pixels)? The 1.0/1.1/1.3 number changes depending on frequency for my Quest 3. What are your DCS VR tab settings? Start with Pixel Density set to 1.0. If you have GPU head room after solving your problem, maybe try 1.1 but you'll get more fidelity setting SuperSampling in ODT, OTT, OXRTK or Quad Views. Either way, try to only add SS with one of these methods. Set FOV multiplier in Oculus Tray Tool or OpenXR Tool Kit to 0.85/0.85 and tweak up/down until you stop seeing black bars. You're losing FPS by rendering frames you can't even see. Outside of that, try these DCS settings: Resolution - Set to lowest setting possible. This is what's rendered on your external monitor that you don't see because you're in a headset. You can also create a custom game profile in Oculus Tray Tool and set this here to something like 800x600. DLSS Perf/Quality - PERFORMANCE Sharpening - 0.5 +/- (look and see what looks best when everything else is stable) Textures - HIGH Terrain Textures - HIGH So... I'd rather have these both set to HIGH and all the other bells & whistles set to OFF, vs Degraded Textures with AI Civilian Traffic & super dense chimney smoke. Personal preference here, of course, but give everything below a shot before setting your Textures any lower. Shadows - LOW or MED Flat Shadows Blur - OFF Secondary Shadows - OFF SSS - OFF Visib Range - HIGH Civilian Traffic - OFF Clouds - MED Water - MED SSAO - OFF SSLR - OFF Lense Effects - Dirt + Flare Heat Blur - OFF Clutter/Grass - OFF(0) to 350 Forest Vis - 70% Forest Details - 70% Scenary Details - 70% Chimney Smoke Density - OFF or 1 Terrain Object Shadows - FLAT Full Screen - OFF (may make a diff, may not) Cockpit Global Illum - OFF Few other tips: Set DCS Priority in Windows Task Manager to HIGH Create Windows Defender Exemption for DCS parent and User/Saved Games folders. (**This one hack makes network admins cringe) Shut down all the BS background tasks and services (Messenger/Browsers/Reddit/Discord, etc) Windows Automatic Updates: OFF

I'm retarded and didn't process your last post. Hit me up if you want to to chat about VR and the 7900XTX. DCS is running fine for me and never stopped with the latest DCS & Quest updates. I own and ran a 6800XT for the last 6 months before upgrading to a 7900XTX for VR. The 6800XT ran DCS on my 55" LG 4K TV with near-max settings and was rarely unable to match the TV's native 60Hz refresh rate. One day I hooked my rig up to an old 32" Acer 144Hz gaming monitor and was seeing over 100 FPS. I don't remember the specifics. 100 FPS is cool... but I'd rather fly in 4K at 60 FPS. Anyhow. Bottom line is you'll be perfectly happy with a 7800XT at 1440p.
