I'm interested in upgrading my odyssey plus to this Quest 3. Is there a specific DCS Review on the quest 3 with all options/settings/features ?

The 4080 Super is also coming in the next month with a 6% to 8% performance increase over the 4080

The 4090 is currently +-650 Euro's more, I would rather hold out with a 4080. Current build setup I saved now = 3978 Euro's or 4148,94 US Dollars. Still need to wait 2 months before receiving my bonus, but I'm excited allready! With my current GTX1080, i7 4790K, 16GB DDR and Samsung Odyssey Plus this is a massive improvement. Racing sims I can manage with 60hz ( tweaked graphics ), and DCS 60hz with reprojection enabled (30Hz) With the Meta Quest 3 iam more then happy to cap it at 72Hz.

I would also like to have the case ready for a GPU upgrade indeed, the 2080 went from 265mm to, 3080 285mm to, 4080 310mm. The 5080 would continue to around 430/435mm.

@LucShep It says that when I pick a normal case it's to small due to the 4080

@LucShep @Keith Briscoe @Bearskin Please take a look at attached image, this is what I have so far. Costs are around 3000 Euro's

@LucShep@Keith Briscoe @Bearskin Thanks for the great feedback! I'm try a PC builder and list what I find here, and as LucShep said, i'm just looking for a great rig to play VR simulators. And some CPU's could be priced for 200 Euro/Dollar more with the same performance, that is what I want to avoid.

All, I'm looking to upgrade to a new PC soon and get a new VR set as well ( Meta Quest 3 ) is on my watchlist now ( Feel free to suggest another set ). Budget wise I am around 4000 Euro's. I was thinking about getting the 4080, as the 4090 is just to much extra as I would most likely upgrade to a 5080 in 2025 anyways... For the processor I would like to go Intel ? i7 14700 vs i9 14900 ( performance is similar, just the i7 is like 200 euros cheaper ? For the games I play, Its mostly all VR Iracing MSFS DCS World Assetto Corsa Assetto Corsa Competition Automobilista 2 IL-2 Other needs are : 64GB DDR5 2 or 3 SSD drives CPU cooler Motherboard PSU Case ( don't really care about the looks ) just a good airflow.

I was trying to edit the shadows file to only have Cockpit & cloud shadows, but no luck so far. You know what parameters I need to put ?

Thanks! Will try this for VR! What is Raster, Config & Shaders ?

Still the shadows of other opjects, esspecially flying lower over airfields are causing frame drops in VR. So thats why I have them off at the moment. For VR with minimum performance impact this would be the best solution.

Would be nice if you could make a version that would only show cockpit and cloud shadows :). Thats all I would need in VR for now.

1080/i7-4790K/16DDR3 Better tracking Better quality Better frames Better clarity

Did some more testing and also included the newest vrperfkit 0.3. This is an absolute game changer for me! Even on my 1080 I have clearer view, better tracking, no shimmering. Still force reprojection on due to missions, but even when i have it disabled i can maintain a solid FPS in an empty flight. VR future is looking much brighter! Can't wait for my upgrade to the 4000 series end of this year! ( Going to try to do the same for IL2 )

First testing looks very promising! Tracking is at least much better!
