What settings affect CPU render time the most for Reverb G2?

[jasonstory44]

Just got my Reverb G 2 and trying to dial in my settings. I find that I have much more headroom to play with things for my GPU frame time. I’m usually right on the edge with my CPU frame time though (based on fpsVR...usually orange and spikes of red). I’m trying to tweak things to get it always orange but can’t find any settings that make a real difference. Most of the settings seem to affect my GPU frame time.

I'm surprised that you have this issue with an Intel i9 9900k and since I'm not an Intel player for some times I have limited knowledge of this generation of Intel CPUs.

 

It would help to have data and figure the difference between CPUs and configurations, I personally use a little applet called Timer Resolution to try to maximize my Windows-built latency.

One might say it is a pain to have to start an app every time you want to play DCS but I have to start JoyToKey, MSI Afterburner, Ryzen Master, then turn on my G2 and make sure Steam VR isn't playing on me and works properly, that is if I don't plan to use FPSVR and VoiceAttack on top, so an extra little app don't bother me too much.

 

I forgot, minimize the amount of apps running in the background, they can affect frame time.

I had forgotten about this i did it so long ago!  Thanks for reminding me; you can achieve exactly the same effect by disabling the HPET, no additional tools required:

you will will need to reebot for changes to be effective.. one and done no messing around with extra apps
