@TED is the only active poster I recall with a 7900 and he likes it. Several of us have 6900s that have been fine, but I think it's general agreement with most that team green is better at VR. I'm looking at grabbing a 4080/4090 for use with Varjo Aero since my Reverb died and Varjo doesn't support AMD.
-
7900, 4080 or wait for 4080 Super end of January.
6900XT with Reverb here

My 6900XT has been fine in DCS and IL2 though it could always be better of course. My biggest issue seeing that you're also a Reverb issue is that the Varjo headsets only work with team green if that is a possible upgrade consideration in the future. I would've already pulled the trigger on the Aero myself but I'm kinda in the same boat as you right now regarding GPU.
-
It's hard for me to recommend the current gen GPUs when they have now been out for a year with no real decrease in price. Maybe the 4xxx Super releases in January will provide some pressure.
I'm biased, but if you can still find a 6900/6950xt or RTX 3080 in the $500 range it's a pretty decent value to get by until hopefully the RTX 5xxx. Dropping $2k on a 4090 at this date just doesn't make sense to me.

Hi all, Thankyou very much for the advice, and sorry that it created some disagreement.
Certainly sounds like the upgrade will be the way forward, I will have a closer look at the specs, and take onboard the advice ref the memory speeds,, ref the MB, yes I know quite likely it’s overkill at the moment. But I do like the 5 x m.2 slots however I will take a closer look at the MB Lucspec has mentioned above. Thankyou Lucspec.
a massive Thankyou also to kksnowbear. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed explanation.

7800X3D would be the go to CPU especially for MSFS in my opinion.
-
7950X3D is 8x3d/16c/32t but as Sharpe said the actual image quality should have very little to do with the CPU. I would turn all of the DLSS/DLAA stuff off first and go from there.

You're totally correct that Intel Z790 is a dead end, while AMD AM5 isn't.
About Intel's chipset platforms life span, as side note and pardon my rant, people often extrapolate things and it has been overblown (IMO).Example, the Intel Z690 motherboards. Across different manufacturers and all price-segments, most of these support now (with a BIOS update) three generations of Intel chips - 12th, 13th and 14th gen. So, someone who bought an i5 12600K and a Z690 motherboard in April of 2021, is able to upgrade over two and a half years later to, say, the new i9 14900K, as a direct CPU swap with a simple BIOS update (so, just like with AMD AM4 respective CPUs).
And this backward/forward compatibility has happened with other Intel "Z" chipset motherboards:
Z270 (2017) supported 6th and 7th gen
Z390 (2018) supported 8th and 9th gen.
Z490 and Z590 (2020) both supported 10th and 11th gen.
Z790 (2022) supports 13th and 14th gen.
You won't see any mention of this from any techtuber/influencer or website, because it goes against the recent narrative and agenda, too controversial for some minds.
Then the profitable "niceties" and connections from that other side could end, and the AMDrones (the fanboys, like football hooligans) would flood the gates to harass/cancel you and your platform, and/or poison the comments section till the end of days, like always.
And so, along with marketing and herd mentality, things go as they go.
While Intel has supported subsequent generations of CPUs on some chipsets, they were hardly worth bothering with to upgrade assuming like for like tiers. My X99 Haswell-E system never went to Broadwell-E, and now I'll never upgrade on Z690 from my 12700k as 13th and 14th gen hasn't brought anything to the table just like those prior gens you mentioned.
Someone who went from a R7 1700 to a R7 5800 had a hell of a upgrade, though admittedly it was probably a tiny minority that lucked into that situation. And of course no guarantees that AM5 will have the meaningful generational improvement that AM4 saw either.
-
I would also be looking at AM5 at this point instead of buying into a dead end platform with Intel. You may not ever need to upgrade the CPU again but at least the option would be there.

Have you tried enabling safe mode in Open XRTK application?

or by having fluctuating FPS below HMD refresh due to performance limits and disabled motion reprojection.
I assumed that's what Bignewy meant. I run my G2 this way and it has never bothered me and I prefer it instead of 45FPS motion repro

buddy at work had a 9900k laying around and gave it to me, my cpu usage went down to 30 %, so I know now I am GPU limited, I did lower a bunch of settings and can get 70-80 fps. So I will start looking for a 3080TI
Nice score, but the CPU usage going down is mostly just a function of having more cores.
-
I would also say you're probably due for a total system upgrade without one component hamstringing the others too much. Should be able to find a 7800XT/6900XT/6950XT in that $4-500 range which I think would give the most improvement for the time being.
I wouldn't spend the time and money swapping out for a 9900k personally - that $200 will buy a new 12th gen CPU now, and probably a 13th gen when the 14s come out end of this year. Get a DDR4 Z690/Z790 motherboard so you can reuse your current RAM.
-
@TED has one I believe.
My 6900XT has worked well. I bought it January 2022 when I couldn't find any geforce cards in stock that weren't scalper prices.
-
Try updating your motherboard BIOS to the latest version if haven't already.
I would exchange it if it won't hit it's rated speed since you paid for it. You likely won't see any meaningful difference regardless though.

Does the change from 32 to 64GB RAM increase performance in general or just in specific cases in DCS?
RAM is either you have enough or you don't. Lack of RAM will cause occasional stuttering as new assets are loaded from the disk drive on the fly. I've seen 40GB+ in use playing on highly populated servers.
It will not increase FPS.
-
You're wasting your time/money with a 6700xt and would especially so with any FX series CPU. But have fun.

The issue for me is knowing what "real" is, I suspect.
Spends thousands of dollars on upgrades and still have meh performance in VR. That's real
-
Let's be real, a 2060S isn't really suitable for VR post 2.5
PD 1.0, lower resolution in OXRTK possibly, no MSAA and low textures might make it playable. Adjust up from there if able.
-
My 6900xt runs flatscreen brilliantly the few times I've bothered.
-
I'll wait until the 5000 series comes out and/or hope for Vulkan improvements myself. Can't justify dumping thousands of $s into this sim and its poor performance every year considering 5 year ago I was getting decent performance out of a 1080ti when the F18 released.
-
If GPU is 99% loaded then it is the bottleneck. A multicore CPU will likely never read 100% outside of rendering or something like that which can fully load all of your cores/threads.
ETA: Just as an example that can be CPU single thread bottlenecked. A single threaded app on a quad core CPU can be CPU limited with a CPU usage level of 25%. But if CPU limited your GPU usage would be lower. GPU at 99% is the tell really.

Hi I would have thought a 5800x3d paired with a 3090ti would have given better performance.
I run at 90fps in VR using 9900KF and 6900XT.
Are you using OpenXR Toolkit ?
If so what options have you selected ?
What settings and scenario are you getting 90fps?
-
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how higher FOV and lower resolution is giving better clarity. Maybe the displays are just that much better otherwise?

750 watt is plenty for a 9700k and 4070ti
New to VR, I have some questions please.

More RAM will only help if you are exceeding the physical memory usage, symptoms are usually prolonged stutters where the system begins paging memory to your hard disk. You can use something like HWINFO64 to monitor this and many other things. It has no affect on graphic quality nor will it give you faster frame rate.
Your system is pretty old for a good VR experience. Throwing in a 5800X3D, 32GB RAM (64GB for large online servers) and a new GPU would go a long way, but you're mostly to the point of needing a whole new system.
I can't help with your other questions related to the Quest.
