Big improvment with VR since last patch ! (I9 9900k 2080 32 GB Reverb G1).

Hi, just a positive return :
With my I9 9900K (not overclocked), RTX 2080 & 32 GB OF RAM, I was struggling patch after patch since years to maintain a minimum framerate around 30 FPS in multiplayer in VR (Reverb G1). Flying mostly helos.
I needed to reduce resolution around 80%, reduce details really low. 

3 days ago I switched to openXR (before last patch) with a really small gain in FPS (I tried several time before with no succes in increasing framerate and return to steamVR).

Without touching anything, after the patch, i went from sluggish 30-35 FPS with resolution at 80%, low settings to solid butter smooth 45 FPS, 100% resolution, higher settings on a highly populated single player mission. I did not have the time yet to do further test, but it feels like I have a new computer.
 

I don't know how it runs on your rig (if you have a similar one). I'm interested to know...

By the way, it was a nice surprise. Waiting for multithreading engine now, it seems very promising !

Thx !

The same here. Tried OXR in despair twice and got even worse performance. Now, limiting fps to 45 in toolkit and engaging foveate something, at  100% resolution, DCS PD 1.0, no motion smoothing I can even switch 4xMSAA (never possible before), 16xAF, extreme visibility and global cockpit illumination, OK I admit that was too much but still better than with SteamVR. Horizon ghosts when rolling but overall feeling is very smooth. With the coming hotfix I will try MR, upscaling and with DLSS, MT and Vulcan on top I guess my 3070 will last.

MSAA has never been possible in VR with my rig even at 2x. I will try tonight.
