nadavfr Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 recently I got my HP Reverb G2 as an upgrade to my Lenovo Explorer. When firing up DCS I noticed that when flying in intense environments resulting in low FPS my GPU is not maxed out but sitting at around 70% utilization regardless of how demanding the situation is. After a little bit of looking around I found out its because my GPU thinks my main app drawing power is the WMR window and not DCS, so when I focus on DCS it reduces the resources to it. When I focus on the WMR my FPS in DCS jumps up by a considerable amount, even though my last headset was a WMR it didn't happen and at demanding times the GPU went up to 100%. any ideas about how to fix this issue? Thanks a lot in advance. 1

BMGZ06 Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 When you say you are focusing on one or the other, how are you doing that? I usually just set DCS and vrserver to high priority.

I just look in the task manager at the GPU utilization, it goes up when I alt-tab into the WMR window, when I alt-tab back to DCS it goes back down (the FPS in DCS comes up and down with it) 9 hours ago, BMGZ06 said: When you say you are focusing on one or the other, how are you doing that?
