Well to be honest it seemed a bit better but not sure how to be sure. I did the 1st test I ran and while it seemed the same I did not have an accurate FPS count as I did not have the toolkit working. I did read that from mbucchia but the red text was pointed to developers and mostly the Quest users.. I am unsure but maybe the toolkit does not work any longer. I di use quadviews but I used that program that sorts the order and it fixed it but when I went into game the Frametimes for CPU/GPU were at zero so not sure what happened but maybe it dont work anylonger.. But my initial feeling is the performance seems about the same in DCS. I did notice a difference in Mechwarrior 5 tho.. EDIT: Well I just found out how to properly OC my new stuff and I was just shy of the BEST score for Firestrike with my Gear.. now this new PC is way better then the 12700K. Here is the result: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/32960940

Well to be honest I think a GPU Upgrade would have been better but I think it is fine as is.. on a quick test the Load rate was 68% in Syria. so it did go up a but did not get a chance to fly around but it looks to have been a little bump up and I am hoping it is smoother overall.. I will have to find another Program like Open XR Toolkit that showed the GPU Frametime as to better see what is going on. the ingame Frametime counter just does not seem to work well.. I liked the OXRT one but I just reinstalled it and it was not working?

Yes I cam close to getting a 9800x3d but with the 4K tests I seen it was pretty close. I am hoping it will work well. If it does then I might be able to get the Pimax come spring.. I am also going to run some benchs in 3D Mark but I had an issue with it using my intel GPU for some reason? EDIT: Well I assembled the new PArts and it fired up. I am currently installing the Mobo Drivers and all should be able to test it maybe later tonight gonna go play some MW5 tonight 1st to give it a bit of a test run.. I still need to look into a guide to OC and setup BIOS all good.. so far looking good..

Hey Guys, I am gonna keep it. thnx for looking..

Well I ran some test in DCS with my G2 too see the GPU Load and here are the results so I can compare when |I put in the new parts in the build I bought.. All these tests where in the Apache and the Range training mission in 4 different maps.. I ran the Reverb G2 @100% Native rez. 1. Syria--60+FPS-- GPU Load 64% EDIT the load it was 64% not 85%.. 2. Caucus--60+-- GPU Load 73% 3. Sinai--60+ FPS-- GPU Load 77% 4. Persian Gulf--60+ FPS-- GPU Load 62% now the current system is in my signature and tomorrow I will be getting the following new parts: 1. Intel 265K 2. Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Motherboard 3. 64GB 6400MT RAM. I am hoping the new CPU Pushed the GPU Load up a bit. really not sure but I was looking to get a Pimax Crystall in Spring so I figured upgrade now and get a jump on getting new parets for it.. I may not even need to get a new GPU as I think the 4070Ti will do ok.. just hoping for good results after I put it all toether tomorrow. Also this was a fresh install of Win 11 Pro 23H2.. EDIT: I just fixed my issue with the intel GPU running insted of the 4070Ti and here is the result on 3D Mark: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/32949529

well it depends on the resolution you run. in most all 1080P test the 9800x3d is ahead of all the others. in 1440P it narrows a bit but @4K it is reall close almost a margin of error. but I guess you can jump on the AMD Band wagon but not sure I beleieve the hype especially since I went with Intel and seen some 4K Benchs..

IDK after watching this video nVidia has really stooped down low. rebranding their cards and we pay more and get less.

hey try this program it will help you sort those in the correct order as I think that is the issue here: https://github.com/fredemmott/OpenXR-API-Layers-GUI

well you need to goto the mixer, look in taskbar to the right for the little speaker icon right click it and open mixer in there you should see mixed reality volume levels turn it down or mute it. look carefully there might be 2 mixers there.. But when you launch DCS that sound should shut off maybe figure out why it is not as that it running in the backround is not the norm..

OK then the port scanner I used, were the ports it listed not really used by DCS?? if so thnx for the post there it is an old one

so basically maybe if on a 3xxx series worth the upgrade but if on a 4xxx not so much but bragging rights.. I still sit on the fence. I would like to get better then the current 4070Ti I have maybe I will waint and see what the used 4080S are selling for.. Still a good breakdown with benchs and such with the raw performance..

well usually the reccomend how much PSU you need, does AMD do that?

ok but I ran a port finder and there was alot of extra ports it found and said I also need to forward those as well. I was just wondering. but thnx for thos extra ports I did not know about..

Hey Guys, I was running some tests and was wondering which ports besides 10308 do we need too open for Playing DCS? now I know port 10308 is for who hosts but there has to be other ports required to play on DCS or is it by some magic it just works? Also for the wise guys yes I realize officially they say port 10308 but I think that is not the entire story here?

well it might depend on the mission, do you have a particular mission too try or a canned mission to try, I dont have a AMD CPU..

I see but I am just saying when I used anything but the Official cable on the Q3 I got that screen you see. I was told by my friend that the other optical cables should be as good as the official cable but IDK for sure.. Maybe someone else with a 3rd part cable can chime in here. I ONLY had luck with the Q3 and a Official Meta link cable.. I tried 3 other cables..

well the only time I seen this screen in DCS with the Q3 was when I used the aftermarket non optical cable. When I used the Meta q3 cable I never had that issue.. so for whatever reason Q3 does not like most other 3rd party cables.. But I only had the Q3 for a month so who knows maybe someone with that cable you have or other 3rd part cables can chime in maybe there is a setting or similar to change? here is one but not the one I was going to buy: https://www.amazon.com/Stouchi-Fiber-Optic-Braided-Adapter-Compatible/dp/B091HTKXN1/ref=sr_1_35?crid=1M03GHWVK6UMN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.O2exzKWWzgiPuy9xW7LCaUcCl_p62Tc-mJiOr0SPb0rjY9F17Br7CKkmNzF51UdvF6mRMiM9YAozAjGTdrurn9WqrvzATHwX1XEpnuTUxvI-OEWVBhU6wK9i-i0uBAZ1Imb9921Lmm4AG1kLZleUGPS72XF7shbv6Fs8URi2qSazLRN8o19AKQoPCe1CPgqnvsrr9fVmc7MNsx1rNnUbF71ON1A6HsNxDz4yAr1gC8s.IXNFkKi537i-caQqMgOHqAPXKKglt7sXlZebTVUmd8M&dib_tag=se&keywords=quest+3+usb+cable&qid=1737866640&sprefix=quest+3+usb+cable%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-35&xpid=oXAZhqba_H2dh it is a fiber optic cable.. they sell them elsewhere not only amazon. not sure where you live but check around.. there have to be some in your area or zone or whatnot..

is another usb Hotas/device mapped to that axis of the EX\s TDC?? I have Saitek rudder pedals and they always get assigned to the X&Y Axis of my HOTAS and it causes drift?

well that is why I said to get the 3rd part optical USB Cable but they are still about 50bucks usd.. and I tried two aftermarket cables that did not work..

oh ok the Anker was your cable I thought that was something else.. I had this happen to me as well with an aftermarket cable. I did have the Meta Link cable and never had that happen. I would try another 3rp party Optical cable or just get a meta link cable..

umm which Link Cable do you use I seen that screen before when I had a Q3..

haha well I seen this thread and was going to say it sucks to be you but you solved the issue.. good find.. glad your system does not suck

well the thing with vr is you need to maintain a certain Frametime and under to get a smooth looking flight. in your case you need to maintain 11.1ms or under and the more under it will be smooth, if you go over 11.1ms you will perceive it as stutter.. I would say try running @72hz and see how it goes and yes definetely get Frametime app or simialr it is important.. If you tried a lower Hz and you still get Stutter maybe something else is wrong with the system like malware or a misconfiguration.?

what is your frametime in game? also what Hz rate do you run?

what is this double vision effect you talk of here without ASW?? I had a Q3 and seen no DV in game as I did not use ASW or would I ever.. I use a Reverb G2 currently and it is as butter smooth as it can be meaning I am about flatlined all the time with an occasional spike.. I am pretty sure with your system and a Rift S you should have a similar experience. either you have more proccesses running or some nefarious going son on your PC..
