Q3 is 550€ but you have to count additional 150€ for better strap with battery expansion and new front mask for better comfort. This addition is must have for Quest or Pico4. Don't spend on some cables if you going for Q3. Q3 got better WiFi speed so it is good for it but you need WiFi 6 to use it in full potential. Check if your MB got one on board. Just create Hot spot on your MB then and you will get speed from 1700Mbps min to 2400Mbps what is more than good for VR in WiFi. Q2 and Pico4 max speed is 1200Mbps. Also Virtual Desktop is must have app. 7900XTX work same good as Nvidia on it even Quest software is not optimized for it. GPU is good, problem is on Meta side but in VD works flawlessly. VD also have VDXR so you start DCS without any problem directly in openXR. Also got support for AV1 200Mbps bitrate for best picture. 4090 is the best no doubt, but in my opinion this 1000€ is not worth this difference in performance. 7900XTX is kicking ass as well in DCS. It is better invest that difference in additional accessories for better VR experience as I mention it before and maybe in some WiFi6E router or something for best VR performance true WiFi.

This video should give you all the answers. It is Pico 4 so almost the same setup performances like on Q3.

As I can see from screenshot's you are using WiFi 5. From my experience with Pico 4 most of the problem coming from too high Bitrate for connection speed. If you are using WiFi where speed fluctuating Reduce Bitrate or use Automatic bitrate. Automatic bitrate will use this 400Mbps as cap bitrate when the connection speed can handle it. When speed is drooping automatically Bitrate according to Speed to keep smooth transfer of picture. Otherwise you should find sweet spot for your Bitrate and connection speed manually. Sometime stuttering is caused not by GPU or CPU but because not balanced Bitrate/connection speed.

Is this project still alive because provided link is not working. If this is still in function pleas send another link where to find more information's. Thanks!

If you can run with stable 60FPS why don't you force AWS and run on 120Hz? Try like that will be nice and smooth with 60FPS.

I think you buying in Pico store true mobile app on your mobile phone on your Pico account. I'm not sure about web Pico store where you are logging in on your Pico account as well. Just check it out. Or is just need to register payment method on your Pico account and then will be able to purchase even direct true Pico 4 its self. I don't remember now but some of this is correct for sure.

Look, I will just tell you I nowhere see real owner of 7900XTX is complaining about that GPU. Most complainant comes from Nvidia owners so how much such complainant are objective is another question. My friend just switch from 3080 to 7900XTX and he is thrilled. That's talking everything. His problem now is only 10600K bottleneck so he planning to switch to some Ryzen X3D to be able improving even more with Smart Access Memory possibility in AMD CPU GPU combo.

If you talking about best performances for less money R5 7600X and RX 7900XTX is the way to go. All previous bugs look's like is fixed so this is most performances you can get per $. BTW I got 3080 so I'm not AMD loverboy, just can't justified 200$ more for at least same performance in 4080 or 600$ for just 20% more performance in 4090 which is technically best performing GPU without the question. I'm planning in the future such upgrade for my computer as minimum. If I will be lucky maybe 7800X3D but again for just gaming it is questionable to justified additional 250$ just for some minimal gain I will definitely got with it. For such AMD upgrade BestBuy MB will be AsRock B650E PG Riptide, good value and will easy support future upgrades even to some future 8950X3D if will be needed. Yes this MB got build in WiFi6E based on Intel AX210 for supporting best connectivity for Quest, Pico or Crystal. Future prove.

I found the problem. After I link SteamVR true the DCS Updater utility for its started working. I know should be something simple and logical like that. Now everything working fine only need to be fine-tuned.

I just replace Q2 with Pico 4. Uninstall all Oculus software and tools from my PC and install Pico Strem Assistant what I'm using right now, still didn't get Virtual Desktop. Have nevest version of the Pico OS, 5.5.0 also Stream assistant, 9.4.7.1. I could connect with my PC wireless or true USB cable without the problem. Native Steam apps working without problem but non Steam like DCS or Il2 Great Battles want work. They are stock on loading the game status endlessly not switch inside game as should be or some other games doo. Also if I exit VR in Steam VR game is opening in the window after that but it is stocked all the time before that no matter how long I left it. I guess some of you fixed such problem already, by some logic problem could be by some Quest left over. If you got some advice will be good. Thanks in advance.

This is nice. Also I think this should work without the problem with hand recognition in Quest, Pico or even Leapmotion. Point is all this is have by default function of simulating controllers with just hands. It is also supported in OpenXR. This could be game changer for using just hands in cockpit because controllers have same problems as hand recognition when you using it. Just keep doing good work.

If I set Quest 2 to 120Hz is that mean will be working on 40Hz (1/3 of 120)?

First of all, to be clear I'm the owner of the RTX 3080. From my experience, all this fuzz about Nvidia or AMD is exaggerated. So I could tell you your 6800XT is almost the same performance as my 3080. In practice, there is no difference at all. The real bottleneck is not GPU or CPU. The real bottleneck in DCS is the core engine itself. Without real changes, there will be no noticeable progress. My 3080 sometime works great but sometimes has all these problems that they claim are only experiencing with AMD. This is simply not true. Problems I experienced have only at DCS everything else works perfectly. Changing your 6800XT for something similar is not worth it. Change it right now for something better like 4080/7900XTX is questionable. That will be great uplift but not worth that much you need to invest in this. AMD and Nvidia's new generation is highly overpriced so the last generation is still better value. In general. I'm talking about the value, not performance. Right now your 6800XT is good for waiting a little bit longer when offer and demand will stabilize the GPU market like it was with CPU for example. AMD is a good quality card but if the price is the same as Nvidia I will buy Nvidia. If the price difference is noticeable no doubt I will buy in this case AMD. For example, if we compare it with MSRP prices if you want the best beast 4090 is worth the price. If you want a budget more friendly beast then 7900XTX is a better value than 4080. I will buy 7900XTX over 4080 no doubt. 7900XT is a different story because the 4070Ti is a better value even is slightly lower performance but not that much so the 4070Ti always before 7900XT even right now maybe the 3090Ti /6950XT is a better value same as all other models. Be patient, till the summer GPU market will be stabilized, and then see what is the best option for you with new prices relation.

Just chacking this. I have Quest 2 but thinking about to switch to Pico 4 as I don't care about Meta library and even with Q2 I prefere titles from Steam any way. As I watching your experiance have to mention I run on some video on YT where is someone change USB drivers in Windows to prevent BSoD, can0t find it now unfortunatelly. Also run on this video where someone talking about experiance with USB ethernet cable connection and provide bunch of links in description inclouding amazon link for 20$ adapter so could be usefull I hope.

Can we expect ED to implement FSR directly in DCS to avoid using third-party mods for it? Benefits are obvious and increasing performances, especially in VR are real. According to AMD implementation is just a simple few days of work so it should be doable in a week, not two weeks like everything else. It's working on AMD and Nvidia cards so there is a benefit for all users, 2D or VR equally not like DLSS which benefit only RTX users. ED should prioritize this implementation because brings instant improvements in a short time and that's what we all want, users or devs.

Just want to remind you all ED anounced to switch to Vulkan in Q3 2021. That is all about DCS on Vulkan soon.

Take all the best on loan. Buy 10 years food reserves and build Man cave deep into the ground. Nuclear winter could be long lasting and new hardware and DCS version will not be released anyway. So you will be good for next 10 years.

FSR is better anyway. RSR is to use SR without implementation in game just true GPU software. That is why FSR is better, anyway FSR2.0 comming in Q2.

Done.

I can confirm that as well. I have a similar experience with Q2. G2 is the best buy Headset in performance per $. Best value. Q2 is half price but if you have it as a more permanent solution you will soon spend 200 or even 300$ for upgrades to reach the level of G2 in audio and comfort for example. With your current GPU, you will run G2 on 60Hz and Q2 on 72Hz but it is a smooth experience. With both G2 on 50% SS or Q2 on 1.0 PD is looking somehow as CV1 at 1.6 but without SDE. SDE is simply gone compared to CV1. It is still there but so slightly so in normal usage you have to focus on details to find it. On CV1 SDE is annoying no matter how much you crank PD. Now depending on your preferences. G2 is a better permanent solution for flight and driving sims on a desktop PC. Q2 is more versatile and has a huge advantage with WiFi support in more casual usage. Impact on hardware after tweaking the game is similar when you reach similar results. The result is almost the same in G2 50% vs Q2 1.2 PD visually and impacts your GPU mostly. 3090 can work in VR with full potential even with i5 11400 so all that money you can save on CPU push in better GPU. I will like to have G2 and Q2 at the same time and it is my goal in the future but right now my budget dictates Q2 be the first choice and I didn't regret it and to be honest, Q2 is giving me much more than I was originally expected. If you chose G2 because you have only sims in mind it is a great choice too. It all depends on your preferences.

In that case Quest 2 is your choice right now. Even G2 is better hardware Quest got better software what will make it a better experience with your current GPU. It is a huge improvement over CV1.

You got 2080. That is just a slightly above minimum hardware demand and you are pushing SS too hard. I know it says 100% but in reality, it is a super-sampled resolution to not go now in detail about why is it like that. G2 display native resolution should be closest to 2160x2160 to reduce the load on GPU and that is around 50% resolution. Just try once to Auto to see where will be pushed automatically by the software. Also, try it at 60Hz too. For a smooth experience at 90Hz, you need a stable 45 FPS minimum and at 60Hz you need 30FPS. You are coming from 80Hz Rift S so the point is you got smooth experience no matter 90 or 60Hz. I want to say this nausea experience is an individual issue and you could train your brain to adopt it in time. I'm coming from Q2 and for a smooth experience at 980Ti, I have to reduce it to 72Hz when I try on 90HZ I got nausea because I'm already used to 72Hz but with better GPU I will force myself to get used to it and my brain and senses will adapt to new 90Hz experience with time. Just like new users have problems with it. It is normal and doesn't get scared with it. Also, try to squeeze some more FPS with OpenVR FSR mod. It is working with Nvidia too. That's it. This is a starting point for you when you reach a stable minimum FPS for a smooth experience. Buy your self FPS counter on Steam it is less than 5$ but will give you needed measures for fine-tuning. So these are your starting point and then fine-tuning to your preferences where you will save some FPS by tuning HMD SS resolution, refresh rate, or at details in-game. You just have to find a sweet spot and balance your wishes with hardware capability. It's compromise.

Tough question for these turbulent times. The point is multiple factors now affecting your upgrade cost in general so I will give you some tips in general so you can see right now is not the right moment for an upgrade. VR HMD. right now only budget-friendly and worth upgrading is G2 and Q2. There are some better models but the question is value for money. They are not that much better but they are way more expensive. So focus for now on those two models and in this year we could expect some new even better models like for example Arpara AiO. CPU: for VR using or DCS in 2K/4K in general CPU is not a priority. i5 12400 on B660 MB and DDR4 RAM is the newest budget king and is more than capable of handling your need even paired with 3090Ti or 6900XT or any future GPU model. Also, older gen like 11400 on B560 MB or 5600X on older B450 MB is capable as well for this new GPU's. Soon AMD is releasing 6600X what could be the new budget king on B550 MB. This is what we got now or it is around the corner. By the end of the year, next-gen CPUs are coming but will need a new chipset and socket and it is questioned how much will be a better value. GPU: Right now prices are crazy and the minimum you want to go is 6700XT or 3070. They are GPU in performances around 2080Ti. In March Intel released his ARC GPU models with similar performances. Also in June coming changes in Etherium mining, so could expect a significant drop in mining profitability. Even now mining is no anymore a significant problem because mining profitability stagnates despite the increasing value of the Crypto market but it is still profitable to keep mining and not selling used GPUs. Investing in new GPS's with that prices is high risk and right now only 6% of the new GPU sales and up in crypto mining. I'm expecting a significant drop in GPU prices even after March, a minimum of 25% and even more until June and they will not go up definitely. Pandemic: Till Summer 2022 Pandemic will be finally coming to its end. The point is Omicron variant is so highly contagious but not that severe as Delta so with vaccination so far and numbers of those who got COVID we will reach herd immunity and any new wave will be in the future as Flue so will not anymore affect much on health care and the economy as much as it was in last two years so the market will be stabilized and get in normal state. So this will not be the reason for unstable prices anymore in the future. So whatever you see it is not the right time for an upgrade right now. If you wait so long you can wait at least the next 6 months to save in GPU. Maybe go step by step and upgrade your VR or CPU first and wait until June for a GPU upgrade. Even if you buy Q2 or G2 with 11400 and 6700XT will be a gamechanger for your current set up and that should be a minimum you should go.

Price is similar if you take into consideration that you will invest in better audio and head strap for sure and that is an additional 100 to 200$ on starting 300$. So major advantages will be wireless and multifunctionality. Maybe your 2080 will be better Q2 because of the easy setup and more Hz options. If you are planing a GPU upgrade in the next year or two then maybe you should wait with G2 not because it is bad, just the opposite. G2 is a better option for flight sim-only usage but next year we are expecting some new VR HMDs like Arpara, Varjo Aero is still out of the league. Bobo VR M2 PRO is a hello strap with an additional battery and costs 60$. Give you around 5 hours of WiFi play and have an easy magnetic swap battery so if you buy an additional battery for 30$ practically you have endless power by swapping and recharging batteries. Comfort will be similar to Rift S but without cables. Audio is the same as Rift S. Maybe you should think about waiting one more year because next year is a gamechanger in VR and GPU as well. VR with Pancake optics and GPU with the most significant GPU jump in performances. For example, you will get in 7600XT same powerful GPU as today is 6900XT approximate within today's market price of 6700XT. Similar is expecting with Nvidia so you could get 4070 in similar price as 3070 but performances similar as today 3090. Think about it do you need it right now ar you can with 2080 and Rift S to wait another year? On other hand, for Rift S you can easily get 200 to 250$ on eBay. So maybe Q2 will be easy to archive and you will wait for the Arpara AiO version to be released next year.

Did anyone remember this Vive OG and Vive PRO Gear VR lens mod? It is the question of what will happen if you do the same mod on Vive PRO2? PRO2 is similar spec as Aero and such mod should fox most of the PRO2 problems and should be competitive with Aero for half of the price.
