Lower monitor res = better VR FPS?

[dcs.sniper]

I switched from a 4K monitor to a 1440p monitor as the primary display and VR perf improved.

 

I have the impression that having a lower res monitor attached to the same video card driving the oculus helps with VR perf. My logic tells me it makes sense since the GPU needs to spend less resources driving the monitor.

 

Can anyone confirm if my thinking is right?

 

Thanks

Yes to me your thinking is right. It's not about a big ressource saving but some fps here and some others there can't be a bad thing.

With another (il2 battle of *) sim the developpers clearly said that choosing the smallest resolution for screen Mirror is helping VR fps. That must be a common fact.

Makes perfect sense to me. I've even noticed dramatic increases in VR performance just by shutting down seemingly insignificant items it the system tray, disabling indexing on my DCS drive, and regularly removing spyware.

Is it even possible to close down the mirroring window?

 

I'm running a Samsung Odyssey on Win10 and I can't even minimize the mirroring window.

Not that I am aware of.

It is just a mirror, should not really affect performance.

Yes in theory you can disable mirror with an oculus.ini file with inside :

[mirror]

eye = x (-1 = disable, 0 = left eye, 1 = right eye and 2 = both on Mirror)

 

Not tried with DCS, it's probably an old "command", but in theory you can disable mirror.

It works also with an openvr.ini.

This in install (bin ?) folder.
