well I followed the advice of the experts and went with a new CPU,Motherboard and did not gain much if anything. I should have gotten a better Video Card when I had the chance and then Covid no no GPU's to be had I am on a que list but it has been many moons since I signed up.. The 6700k should push your new 3080ti pretty well. IF I could go back knowing what I know now I would have kept my old CPU 7600K and upgrade the video card.. As for the faster speed everybody says 3200 is the sweetspot but you could just try manually OC your RAM you should get a few hunderd more hz and the good thing is to see if there was a benefit just bench the current PC Put in the new video card and bench and try too OC the memory, then bench and you will see if there was any gain.. I, would say for now just throw the new video card in when you get it and remove the old drivers with DDU and reinstall new drivers and see how it performs. then you can get an idea by looking at some youtube videos of people with a newer CPU and that card and benchmarking some games hopefully you will find a few who did it with DCS and you will see firsthand if the improvement they got will be worth it too you.. What monitor/VR solution are you using? I will add this Cinebench test I did with my 9700K @ 4.8ghz Single core test. If you can find Cinebench R23 get it then you can compare your single core score with a newer CPU.. I have added my 10700K as well. the new 11th series does well but you gotta ask yourself just how many FPS/Frametimes do you need? so based on your monitor if it is only a 60hz monitor no point in going over 60FPS and so on. one reason is you work the GPU harder then it needs too and most modern CPU's still work well enough. I have a modern cpu but older GPU and I can get well over 100FPS in DCS, on my Monitor which is 1920 x 1080 60hz, with your 3080 you should be pushin alot more then that.. basically all I am saying is there is no need for all that horsepower with the "monitors Hz rate" being the governor on it. So depending on that you can kinda figure what kind system would be best for your use. for me with the G2 I could use a way more powerful GPU but with Motion Reprojection kinda helps out, while it would be nice just is not gonna happen.

hey Rel4y I reemailed you on the 2 parts I would like to purchase for my Cougar thnx GREAT STUFF!! Looking at your force mod too are they avaialable currently for the Cougar? does the aluminum piece you noted for the force mod?

there was a post here on how to reduce that effect in depth.. Let me see if I can find it.

IS it possible to select the controller you want to use in the PC game?

the default setting is Automatic mode. not sure why you do not have a mouse. sorry can;t be more of assistance.

did you set it in Windows to use Win + Y key? in settings under mixed reality?

try a cleanup/repair. that mod error looks like you have speedtrees mod? or a modified d3dcompiler47 file error.

delete FXO and Metashaders folders in saved games?

Hi Lurker, When you first setup the WMR G2 headset you are using Windows WMR and in there it asks if you are using seated position or Standing/Walking profile. If you select Sitting you will come up to a screen where it asks you to turn your head left and right to scan your area in the Seated position.. For this to work the best you need to have a well lit room plus it is not reccomended to have a blank/empty room. like if you are seated at your Desk and have speakers and such on the desk it should see them to base a reference point vs a blank wall..

maybe MSAA setting in DCS?? nothing else fixes it for me but MSAA there is a x2 and x4 setting very taxing on the PC but worth it..

Well to be Honest I don't think it does. I ran this program and while it did take off the vRam when In cliffhouse or Steam Room, when I fired up DCS I was still using the same amount of Vram usually for a mission..

Hmm I would retry it at 120hz and see what happens just for a test.. What happens to the Trackir @ 120HZ? I had 3D Projectors @120hz and never had an issue with Trackir?

Well I am unsure if DCS has a motion blu effect outside the ingame one.. If the other games are crystal clear that is wierd perhaps with the bigger screen motion blur is more noticable? yes that HDMI should be good.. have you tried any racing games on your setup? do you know the Monitors response rate?

Yes very niche and nice setup they usually cause all kinds of unseen and unknown issues very hard to solve.. I was wondering is there a Blur setting in the HDTV itself? Also is your HDMI cable a 18Gb one? EDIT: Do you know the responce rate of the LG also 60hz could be causing the blur itself..

hmmm I wouldn't think you should get stuttering with Vsync turned off?? Any heat issues when vsync is off? OH I just seen your Specs what subwoofer you using with that system?

Do you have Motion Blur enabled in DCS Settings? If it is not that do you have Vsync enabled?

well with the g2 limiting the fps in nvcp seems to have no effect?

So basically on the Quest 2 you set the HZ @ 90 then set the ASW at 30 well that is still ASW is it not?? it just limits the FPS too 30?? I Could try it too see for myself but I have a G2.. I can set the HZ to 90 but how will I lock the ASW too 30hz? I am sure this works but it still uses ASW..

I did not mean there was someting wrong with your PC just that your config could be wrong meaning your settings in Steam VR and DCS Perhaps. but if you are not happy with your 3090 you could send it too me and I would enjoy it for years to come haha!!

well I do believe there was a post a long time ago that discussed this issue.. There was a program to clear standby memory and they added it to the scheduled tasks, which helped alot of folks with this issue.. maybe do a search for clear standby memory?

Wonder why sounds like a bad config or something? I dont think ED is letting down the VR users sure it could run better but I have a lowly 1080GTX and looks good to me on low settings with a G2. EDIT: well I checked what it looked like in full rez on the G2 which is like 3xxx x 3xxxx but I have itlike 30% at 1784x1748 while not in its full glory it still is fun to fly in this sim.. I have put in a tree mod and the shader mod which helps performance a bit. I am hopefull with Vulkan in the near future I hope.

Ahh yes I keep forgetting to 2x the rez.. But I was just trying to do this more methodically then just guessing..

Well I had tried it at 32% and it seemed to look a bit better then the other way I was doing it.. I am just trying to figure out how many pixels a 1080GTX can push comfortably.. I seen someone mention the can game on a 3440x1440 monitor with a 1080 so I did the math and it is 4,953,600 pixels.. I am currently at 3,118,432. now I am sure it is a bit more complicated then that I am just trying to determine a round about number of pixels I should be able to push.. So far it has worked and I think I might be able to squeeze a bit more out of the old 1080gtx..

OK I just thought keeping the 1 at 50% and just lower the PD in DCS.. I will experiment with 32% and see.. I am doing the math and trying to keep it down the pixels I mean.

Yes I am well aware of this video but I am not trying to do this.. I just wanted to set the Res in Steam vr at 50% or my native res so I keep the 1:1Pixel ration then drop the PD too .8 I am not trying to do the .5 --500% trick..
