Seems it was a bit of a Schrödinger's patch.

I'm running it at 1.5 PD are you able to push yours up? interested as incoming Index.

Make sure your Nvidia setting are set to default & your memory profile in your bios is set to the correct profile as this resolved the issue for me I was also stuck at 45. Sorry if you already checked this. Something seems off. I'm easily getting 70-90fps in that benchmark with a lesser system although i have to turn MSAA off.

Are you locking at 45 even when looking to the sky and/or turning MSAA off?

I decided to do the TF-51D benchmark, just to compare my performance to others. I'm getting 70-90 fps. 1.5PD in debug 0 in game Textures High Terrain textures High Civ traffic Medium Water High Visib Range Medium Heat Blur Low Shadows High (3072) normally run 8192 but this was over written after update. Resolution 3840x2160 Ratio 1.77 res cockpit 1024 MSAA Off DOF Off Lense Off Motion blur Off SSAA OFF Clutter 270 Trees 60% Preload 150000 smoke 5 Gamma 1.5 AF 8x Terrain object shadow flat Cockpit global on

I have noticed this also, I think they are aware of it.

I just remembered what fixed it for me. Are you Also getting low GPU utilisation as well when ASW is off? Set Nvidia profile to default. Make sure your memory is set to correct profile in my case I had turned off xmp(needs to be on). One of these things fixed it for me.

Yes i thought this also some time ago & went down the same route of trying to figure out how to switch it off in Steam. Took me a while to figure out if you use Oculus it will not run steams version of ASW its automatically disabled.

How are people benchmarking this considering fps changes drastically depending on head movement?

I understand about oled & read that Reddit post but DCS is a brown/purple splodgy mess in my cv1 at night & any darker gradients have terrible banding. So although running a test can show us the capabilities of the screen i'm not convinced it translates over to every game. For example ED space looks nothing like space. Yet hellblade darks look normal. I personally don't think the test he did with mura on worked properly. My guess is that spud in my rift only works when its told to by the game. Like you say i guess we will find out.

As somebody mentioned previously it would be interesting to know how night time looks in these LCD HMDs, it's absolutely a no go in my cv1. Promisingly somebody mentioned there have been some improvements in the very last update I'm also keen to see if this has helped things in VR, i will test later today.

Any chance we could see a picture of the Index through the lense vs Odyssey?

At least we now have confirmation that Normandy will be updated for vr (no set date).

This still really unstable framerate not as bad after last update but probably the most stuttery plane i own, will this improve?

Its already set as using 8 threads when i go into affinity.

CV1 or Rift S?

I get quite a drastic difference dependant on aircraft, is that an issue with my cpu? For example the new mig 19 i struggle to maintain a decent frame rate vs the harrier for example. f14 way worse than the f18. So i do get better performance with these trees but certain aircraft are difficult in vr.

Tested some more it's all the warbirds apart from the spitfire. Planes fly through everything trees buildings etc. On all maps.

I have skins installedon the p-51, some cockpit skins on other aircraft like bigger text on the f14. I have a mod for the labels although i don't think it's really a mod.

ok so not 40fps my mistake. But why run it at such low fps 24-29 ps in vr is just egh? Surely you want to be getting much higher fps especially with your system? Index is natively higher resolution than the Rift-S, you are running the index at 1.5 you do not specify if this is set in dcs & don't mention if you have the automatic scaling off in steam but just seems excessive to me. Regardless i'm not expecting miracles with this headset & be running at 144hz more like at 80hz with dcs. But i have 100s of other games i'm not just playing DCS. I use driving sims much more than DCS. Reports have been very positive with Project cars 2 for example. So the Index is really the best all round headset that's why i'm paying more for the controllers & tracking as obviously those things do not matter in DCS but they do in many other games. I assume you play other games too or is that second 2080ti just to keep the other one company? I mean you should really understand why people want to buy the best headset & spend a bit more for it considering the diminishing returns of your gpu setup?

How are you running anything at 2.2 pixel density? I can't even run oculus home on my rift at that setting it actually breaks asw. Sure you have a 2080ti that maybe 30% better than my card but you are running dcs at 2.2 without lowering your gfx settings and you are running a smooth 40fps before the recent patch? That's impressive.

did you try them from quick start 'take off' caucasus?

Happens for me in the P-51 & 109 when starting on runway the ground has no collision so you just free fall. This is a bug with latest version. Probably effects other planes seems to be prop planes?

I've had an email that says i need to update my address by the 14th so expect delivers not long after that. I think PPD is not reduced by the extra FOV in the case of the index.

I didn't notice anything, the tomcat is still super heavy on resources & has some big drops in frame rates. Hopefully the full update will drop soon.
