Well, isn´t obvious? If you don´t have to render the clouds, your graphics load are lower so you get better framerate, same applies to the differents cloud profiles, the ones with heavy layers of clouds are mor taxing than the light ones

Just that

You already can set a modifier button as toggle or hold button in all modules

Yep, im pretty sure that @mbucchia havent tried what you are asking for and have no idea of what he is talking about...

Of course are gpu "acelerated", the limitation on trees or buildings its not about its if both of them are or note a gpu thing, its due to a DX11 drawcalls limitation

How you know the rasterization comparison betwen 7900XTX and 4090 when theres no benchmark yet? The only thing is some doubtful geekbench one and tell me you are not using AMDs slideshow as reference. I would tell you to wait, RDNA3 its almost here, wait for benchmarks in a couple of days.

Have you try deleting FXO and Metashader folder from the saved games folder of DCS?

Oh yes, the "Use the UE" again... You guys, obviously has no idea of the amount of work that is needed for a engine change, its like make the game almost from zero and, please, tell me how proven is the UE5 engine, as far i know theres only one released game with it, Fornite, and its not a good comparison with DCS and UE4 engine has been plagued of different problems...

About performance stable, SGSSAA take 15% more frametime for me, right now, for me, is a no no

Is one of the heaviest performance modules of DCS but not the most, as example Mi24 is worse but where Apache is a killer is on the VRAM, if you use high textures settings Apache will eat VRAM for breakfast!

If the card is for VR he should aim for 3090 due to the increased VRAM, 12gb is not enough if you want high resolution on today DCS. And about 40 series, 4090 one its incredible efficient, way more efficient than 30 series, my 4090 can do the same performance as my last 3080ti with 50% less watts

Same here, not noticed any performance gain, PC on the signature

You dont have to choose between OpenXR and OTT, OpenXR its a wrapper for using OpenXR API on DCS through SteamVR, OTT its just a way to save OculusDebugTools settings as a profile instead of you set manually, you can use both at the same time

If it’s the way you think as simple to tell us about it instead of having the DCS VR Community angry cause the loss of performance of 2.8 Open Beta

Theres still no fix for flat shadows on this patch?

You still get pretty obovious artifacts on half fps with ASW on, easy to see on planes with HMD devices (when you move the head the hmd is full of artifacts) or ghosting on planes near you, you get ghosting too if you fly low and fast

Just that, i cranked up resolution, added MSAA, more visibility, etc, but almost same fps but i still get very low fps on some scenarios due to CPU limitation, i just received the 13600k so i will test in the next days

I dont have to look at 4090 benchmarks, i have one and already tested, it replaces a 3080ti and i can tell you that i still gets CPU limited on the same places than before with the 3080Ti, and the 4090 its two times the 3080Ti/3090 performance, it´s just pure logic, if X gpu have to wait for a CPU to finish the frame, a 100 times more powerfulll than X GPU will have it too

Eeerrrrr, no... If you are already bottlenecked by the CPU the gains will be minimal or inexistent, if you look for benchmarks on that other flight simulator, which is cpu limited too, you will see that behaviour. Of course im talking about DLSS without frame generation

This. OP has a problem with his case config, my 4090 FE doesnt go above 65º running Port Royale test that is WAY more complex that anything DCS can show, on my (not finished) undervolt curve doesnt gets above 60º (again, on Port Royale), if you are getting 85º running DCS on a 4090 definitely you have a problem and it´s not a DCS one

DCS as to be on focus, if not you get "Window is out of focus" message and you cant interact with DCS

Some of those "Youtube tests" was wrong as they are not comparing same pixel count, i did my test over Oculus software and, as @speed-of-heatsaid, comparing similar end pixel counts gets similar performance and visual quality, theres no magic

I dont see where is the problem as long as temps are inside the normal working temp of your GPU on similar workload, they added new weather effects so its absolutely normal the temps go up as the GPU are working harder, i havent see any anormal on my 4090 with 2.8

It surprise me how you guys can set 0.8 or even 0.7 without noticing the black border, i have been using this long time ago but anything below 0.92 i start to see the borders, maybe its due i have a small face, making my eyes stand closer to the lens...

As soon you say "VR" the answer is "The most powerfull one"
