Sanity check & recommendations for SteamVR settings & Reverb G2 please.

Just replaced my 1080TI with an 3080TI.

Seems to have made a massive difference, allowing me now to turn up the DCS settings to allow for a lot more detail. Previously with the 1080 I had to set everything to low to get any kind of stutter free gameplay.

Would appreciate a sanity check on my SteamVR settings if possible, just to see if I have not configured something as well as I could. And if there are any suggestions for being able to push things further.

The system exists only to play DCS. No other appliacations installed.

Been through Speed of Heats excellent setup guide and have tuned Windows accordingly.

Windows 10 20H2 on Samsung 850 EVO plus SSD
DCS on 500GB Samsung 970 M2. NVME

Page file set to 32698 on C with no page file on the DCS drive. Is this correct?

HP Reverb G2 headset

I run OpenBeta and only play in single player (not brave enough to go online!). 

I am a little confused as to which Mods (shaders etc.) I can still use with the latest OpenBeta. The only 2 I have at the moment are the Simplex shaders and ReshadeVR.

Using FPSVR I am mostly in the Orange.

I have set SteamVR up as follows but despite reading SOH's thread at least 20 times, I am still a little confused as to how best set the resolution. I dont know if the Resolution per eye setting is supposed to be higher than I currently have it set (60% 2444 x 2388) or if the CRM should be changed. Which is more important to image clarity, or do they both effect in different ways? And is it better to have higher settings on STeamVR and maybe lower MSAA, or dial it down in Steam and up in DCS.

DCS PD is set to 1.0.

Any recommendations greatfully received.

Your resolution per eye is already at 60% and then you reduce it further at the CRM? with a 3080 you should be able to run games at 100% outside of DCS and then just reduce the CRM for DCS to give you the number that works for you (mostly a simplification of where you are doing math, rather than meaningful change) , but otherwise that looks good

Thanks SOH.

So best practice is set resolution per eye at 100%, then adjust CRM accordingly to get acceptable frame times?

55 minutes ago, Topo said:

I think you can leave res at 100% in "General" tab (valid for every software), and reduce it at 50-60% for DCS only in "Per application video settings"

@parxukyes this... it certainly means there is less confusion about what is happening here

Thanks Topo and SOH.

The thing I have been struggling the most when setting this up is the SteamVR settings.

I will experiment some more tonight.

SOH - which modified shaders are you currently using for performance? Passing Integrity check isnt an issue as I dont play online.

Thanks

Thx. I will try that now over the Simplex mod.

DO you have any issues with fpsVR at the moment? I am running STEAMVR v1.19.7 and fpsVR 1.21. My graphics can be buttery smooth, but when I turn on fps VR in game it turns in to a stutter fest, the GPU time turns purple and the CPU red. Turn it off and it;s fine.

no not particularly, but i dont really use FPS Vr when i fly only when i measure and as i always measure from a fixed point mount for the headset ... i wouldnt see it being "stuttery" if it were

Thanks SOH.

Just for the benefit of clarity can I confirm the shaders you are recommending are these:

and NOT these:

Sorry for all the questions and thanks once again.

well you only need one of them, one of them, Kegetys are or were the most performant the IC pass are the slowest, and the Clear water provides a performant solution that allows for clear water
