Hippo

My "mission" would be to try and help to identify what might be causing the issue. My secondary objective would be to inform whoever is looking into it that it isn't happening to everyone. I am certainly not engaged in a campaign to annoy anyone. Over and out.

Thanks. I don't doubt it's happening to you and to others, but it's certainly not happening to me. Perhaps you could post your DCS settings and I can try them on my system (although I won't be able to for at least two weeks, as I'm away)?

I am able to use in it VR (pretty much) without issue, see my posts above.

I can't say for sure as I haven't tried it, but a quick AI-assisted search gives me: I suspect that the DLAA under DLSS v4 will give a better quality image than DLAA under DLSS v3, but at the cost of a performance hit (and more so on older generation nvidia GPUs). I did try DLSS under DLSS v4 on my 3080 Ti and I would say that performance was the same or worse than DLAA under DLSS v3, so I didn't even think to try DLSS v4 DLAA. Also, (any) DLSS + QVFR = too much shimmering in the periphery for me in my Quest Pro; so for now I'm sticking with DLAA, under DLSS v3. (And NVIDIA could sure help avoid confusion if they put a bit more thought into the way they name these things).

the original frame generation (i.e. x2 only) is supported by 40 series (and up I suppose), the new dlss 4 multi frame generation (x2, x3 or x4) is 50 series only. But neither FG tech is usable in DCS VR (or any VR title) as I understand it (and I assume this is what you mean since this is the VR forum). I have no idea if it can be made to work in 2D DCS.

Well it was a solution in the sense that you answered my question. I take your point though and have removed your shiny green badge.

My Link slider maxes out at 1.3 (5408 x 2752). Is that what you meant? How much is "a bit"? I'm sorry if I appear combative, I don't mean to. I'm just trying to work out what your results would mean for me and the way I like to set things up, and those details matter. Thank you for your posts, which I believe are genuine, and for your time and patience. P.S. Where, at my local store that also stocks unicorns? Consider yourself very, very fortunate if you managed to buy a 5090 through normal channels.

Alternatively, you can run with reprojection, fly at 30,000 ft over the sea and post YT videos demonstrating how you can a run a Pimax Crystal Super on a 4070 no worries... Please could you post the QVFR settings you're using for QP, and which AA you're using?

Thanks, I did try a search, but clearly with not enough determination.

I don't know if it's just me but if I assign some of the newer callsigns, e.g. "squid" or "ragin", to flights, although the name can be seen in the subtitles for radio calls it is not heard, as if the audio file doesn't exist. E.g. "squid one" will only be heard as "one", whereas the older callsigns e.g. "enfield one" are played in their entirety.

I think you might need to reevaluate your priorities. I would suggest: DCS -> family -> work. ()

Pots, kettles...? I might more diplomatically suggest that T_A could better support his results by posting his DCS settings and testing methodology. And I'm rather more concerned about his activities with goats. At least he hasn't gone with my own pet peeve of a contextless "that 5090 is awesome, I now get 10 more fps", which is far more common than it should be. Selfishly, I might even suggest that he could replicate my test and post graphs of gpu util + frame rate + frame time just for for me.

A bit of a blanket statement there. I have a 3080Ti, what would you recommend I buy? 4090s are virtually unavailable and extremely expensive. It'll be two years until the next gen. 5080 or anything below not enough of an increase to be worth bothering with. I will probably wait around six months and hope for 5090 supply and prices to stabilise. For consistency, shouldn't you say that it beat the 3090 Ti by 70%? Or that the 5090 performs at 121% the rate of the 4090? Otherwise you run the risk of appearing to present numbers in a way that supports a particular narrative. Thank you for your post and the performance numbers on VR headsets, very informative. It's nice to finally see 5090 perf numbers for DCS / VR.

... and just to add to the confusion, I added fog (4560 ft vis, 1000 ft "thickness", sorry for terrible vr screenshot) to the mission I posted above and the iflols became visible from over 3 miles away (vs 1.6 miles with no fog). null

It seems unusual that while the group window can be moved the advanced waypoint actions window cannot. Please could it be made movable by the user or dock and move with the main group window (or both). Thanks

There was me thinking I might be able to nab a 5090, hah. There's always ebay though; double hah! Maybe in a few months' time...

Thank you for your suggestion, and I apologise as I must have failed to explain myself correctly. The iflols is usable for me in VR and in pancake, but I find the deck lights a bit too dim, however I can use them. This is entirely different to what others are reporting in this thread (an iflols and deck lights which are far too bright) and I'm puzzled as to why this is. I am able to trap without issue now in VR or pancake, which I wasn't before the patch, and the last thing I would want is for the brightness to be reduced any further. Reducing the brightness of the indexer doesn't make any noticeable difference to my ability to see the iflols or deck lights. I have no problem distinguishing and using the ball in VR from around the ball call. I get your point, but the glow is trying to replicate a real effect, whether it's overdone is a matter of debate; I suspect that if it were removed there would be just as many complaints.

Like you, I sold my 4090 some months ago because of a change in circumstances and I managed to get back a large part of what I paid for it. I had always intended to go 5090 eventually. As circumstances changed again I have a stopgap PC based on a 3080Ti. And boy do I miss the 4090. Now, however, I am very likely going to try my luck at getting hold of a 5090 tomorrow, even though the timing isn't ideal. Why? I intend to buy one eventually, so I might as well get it now and make use of it immediately, I don't see prices going down anytime soon. This may be the only opportunity to grab one for some time. It's going to be the most powerful GPU available for at least another two years, and for VR, no matter the headset, you can always use that power. It'll be the only game in town. If I had to choose between the cards you asked about I'd go 5080, but I'd always be regretting not having gone for the 5090. Having said all that DCS without AA is imho not acceptable, and I can't be doing with reprojection. No, just no.

And here it is in pancake. Usable and similar experience to VR. iflols becomes visible at 1.6, certainly usable at ball call. Pretty sure that the deck lights have got brighter since the patch, but still very dim - however a trap is perfectly achievable. I have no idea why I'm not seeing the super bright carrier reported above. CP07.01 Case III Approach DME 10_nofog_tru.miz

Which I presume you set up for him; because, with the greatest of respect, he's surely got better things to do. As do I, even though I've still got some way to go before (if) I get to 82!

Thank you, fingers crossed.

Do my eyes deceive me? Has this actually been done? I notice that pages on my kneeboard now have the tabs already come up. Sorry if this was done some time ago and I missed it, but thank you thank you thank you! Dare I to dream?

Thank you for the suggestion and for the rest of your reply. I've tried it now and my first impressions are that yes it's better than dlss3, but that i'm not gaining enough performance over plain dlaa (anything below balanced still shows too much ghosting) to justify it - in particular i'm seeing some rather distracting artifacting with clouds, esp in the peripheral area even with balanced (probably also with quality - don't recall, but I suspect quality would invalidate any perf gains anyway). I will be sticking with my settings above (and the dlss 3 dlls) for now. You have my admiration, but for me this stuff goes into the I'm too old for this sh1t category.
