What's your performance in VR?

[Ephedrin]

Cheers everyone.

 

In 2.7 I've always had less FPS in the Ka50 in VR than in other modules but it was acceptable. I used to fly at between 30 and 40 FPS with an otherwise smooth sim, Reverb G2, Open XR, Ryzen 9 5900X, RX6900XT OC.

Since 2.8 I have had 15-18 FPS, barely 20+ on the Caucasus map in the Ka50 which makes it a guarantee for a nice headache after a while.  It's still smooth, no stutters that were worth to be mentioned but the overall performance has decreased a lot. Other modules as well but in the Viper for example I still fly at 40+ FPS, Huey and Hind are totally fine as well to name other helicopters.

 

What's your experience and do you have any recommendations?

I'm generally getting 60-80fps in the KA50 currently, openxr running the G2 at 2800wide with foveated rendering (which unfortunately doesn't run on AMD for DX11 DCS) on quality/wide preset.  Settings below were for 2.7 which was faster as such I have had to drop terrain shadows to off (as currently they give me an unacceptable 5ms performance hit) but everything else is the same.

I run the headset at 60Hz with reprojection off so I'm consistently beating refresh rate apart from on marianas where I get about 55-65fps in which case I switch to 90Hz and suffer the slight vsync ghosting

Apart from the common performance issues in 2.8 unrelated to any particular module, I also find the Ka-50 to have worse performance than any other helo, including Apache and Mi-24. It is about 10% more taxing on the GPU, despite having much less detailed cockpit and no second crewmember station in the front.
