Tusk.V Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I agree with you all. I trust quite a few people on here and Discord for VR tuning. I’m just saying that I think @Ready could experiment with cranking his render res up. That’s it!

Yep, I find VR is much more acceptable in A2G missions, as motion reprojection artefacts of nearby aircraft are less commonplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing should have never been released in the state it currently is in. Is it that bad? Away, so I havent tested it yet. can it be used with ”Force_steamVR” or do it only work in Varjos default? I actually do not really need it after my upgrade, but was still hoping. That VR Sim guy vid was promising. I get 90fps in most situations now, but for the few exceptions it wouldnt hurt.

Supmua Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) At the current state, Varjo's motion smoothing works as long as your head remains stationary. If you move your head around there's this 0.5-1sec period of image retention artifacts, then everything catches up and it becomes smooth again. The cost is also high on GPU/CPU processing, so they need to work on optimization. I think they're trying to implement it such that it will work with both SteamVR and OpenXR, but the problem is that it doesn't work well with either. Might be better just to stick with SteamVR's motion smoothing...but to actually make something happen is probably harder than you think and that's why it hasn't happened yet. The good news is that this latest release is the only version that Varjo desktop shows no artifacts on windows taskbar with head movement on my setup (since the 4090 upgrade).

The hog remains my airframe of choice for the foreseable future. Will jump back into using csv's and update my benchmark table when I return. I am tinkering with anti-aliasing at the moment trying to get the best clarity, hoping I can stay off reprojection. The bottleneck is the CPU at the moment.

I get 51fps minimum with my 3080ti, granted my average is only about 285 and high about 590. For sharpening I would recommend using CAS from the openxr toolkit, it doesn't upscale at all but the sharpening is really nice; not sure how it might compare to 3Dmigoto performance wise though. Because there’s more to it than just throwing the biggest GPU in a system. Edited December 31, 2022 by dawgie79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonvise Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The best I've been able to do with the 4090 and reverb G2 is to put steam scale resolution to 150% (sorry but i tested oxr several times and I have not noticed performance increase) and enjoy clarity. Of course motion reprojection and with 45 FPS. The 4090 is perfectly capable of manage this upscale not being upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Open-XR Toolkit tweaks; FPS Lock - As per advice of @edmuss I locked the FPS in OpenXR to 55. This gives a lot of stability when looking at the in-game status bars. The green and white lines calm down. I do get a little bit of ghosting, but I already got used to that. Reprojection auto - I am still trying to figure out having reprojection on auto and to have it kick in when it needs to kick in. With reprojection on auto it is not yet clear for me when the actual reprojection kicks in. OBS Performance impact Since I always have OBS (recording) on when flying, the performance of OBS might also be a factor. When I was using a 3080 I clearly had an FPS impact when turning OBS ON/OFF. I changed my OBS recording to AV1 encoding and am tweaking my encoding settings at the moment, trying to see if I can get 4k recording going on without buffer issues or frame loss issues. Changing the encoder seems to have lowered my CPU usage a bit. Not yet clear if this a factor for DCS with my 4090. Will test a bit more and get some numbers in here soon. Will also add my OBS settings to this thread. 1 I fly an A-10C II in VR and post my DCS journey on | Subscribe to my DCS A-10C channel Come check out the 132nd Virtual Wing | My 4090 VR Performance Optimization SYSTEM SPECS: Ryzen 7 5800X3D, RTX4090, Varjo Aero, VKB Gunfigher MKIII MCG Ultimate with 10cm extension,VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle, VPC Control Panel #2, TM TPR Rudders. 64GB RAM, W10, Gametrix Jetseat, PointCTRL (currently broken), OpenKneeboard, Wacom Intuos.

To get it do what you want, set it to always on and leave the reprojection rate unlocked within openxr toolkit. The nomeculature is a little confusing but that's what you need to do Obviously locking framerate with reprojection enabled is a no go, with the 4090 you should be able to hold >55fps till the cows come home.
