Meta Quest Pro Settings

Did you consider using the earbuds for the QPro?

I ordered a pair as soon as I found the VA mic problem, but I found them so uncomfortable in my ears that I just couldn't bear using them,

 

So if anyone wants a pair of earbuds for free, only used once, with just a tiny bit of ear wax on them, do let me know

Personally I use a pair of over ear headphones.  I used Koss KSC75s for quite a while.  Much better than you'd expect bearing in mind the cost.

I'm using over the ear Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 cans.  Fit comfortably for me, YMMV.

Using same old settings for 4090 in game and in OpenXR Toolkit (before with intel 10700K, and now AMD 9800X3D).

In OpenXR toolkit I have these setting:

CAS upscaling

Inner ring 60%

Middle resolution 1/2

Outer ring 75%

Outer resolution 1/8

Before with an old CPU it was mostly running with 90fps, and now with 45fps allover. What could be the reason for not having 90fps with state of the art hardware?

Also fresh installation of OS Win11 with latest Nvidia drivers and up to date BIOS (for MSI X870 Tomahawk MOBO).

Perhaps it's down to how your hardware is configured/assembled.

1. Check XMP is chosen for RAM speed.

2. Check your setup's cooling performance. Is it getting too hot and thermally throttling the CPU, causing it to run slower than you otherwise expect?

3. Does the PCIe bus gen speed match the 4090 card? I think it's 4.0 x 16.

1. For Memory I have chosen EXPO (for AMD, or is it not OK, should I choose XMP?).

2. cooling is ok, cpu is max up to 48 degC, GPU max 45 degC.

3. MSI X870 Tomahawk MOBO has 5.0

I don't have or use AMD systems. The default memory speed is often not the maximum and can lead to degradation of frame times.

Have you run a Cinebench test to check your system is performing as it should?

Not yet, will do it now. 

In Le Mans Ultimate it runs perfectly fine at 90 fps in VR. And the game is very demanding.

Btw, and how will I know if the system is performing as it should? Sorry, never done that before 

[slughead]

Compare it to other systems. I would expect there would be benchmark results from other users to compare against.

Also, are you sure you haven't set ASW/SSW to always be on? If you have, that would fix your FPS to be half your headset FPS.

Is that in DCS?

Before I had 90fps with old system (intel 10700k) and didn't touch a thing in DCS.

[slughead]

If you don't know... you've not done it I'm guessing. Are you using Meta Link or Virtual Desktop to connect the headset to the PC?

[skywalker22]

Meta Quest Link

But as said, VR can do a constant 90fps, which I am gettihg in Le Mans Ultimate racing simulation.

I expect that isn't as demanding as DCS though.

Are you using Oculus Tool Tray?

[skywalker22]

ASW... I remembered, its in OTT app, I have it set like:

And this is how I have it set exactly before (in the old system).

[slughead]

Ok. I think you'll find that if you have your DCS settings maxed out, no one is going to achieve 90fps all the time on DCS unless you're up high in clear skies. Typically, we set the headset to 72fps and can maintain that most of the time.

I run a 14900k, 64GB DDR5 ram, nvme drives, 4090, Z790 chipset, Win 11 and a Quest Pro at 72Hz.

Also, what is your PD setting in the game and the render resolution setting Mata Link?

[skywalker22]

I don't have them maxed out, far from that.

 

As said, all these settings, I used to have at least 50% of the time 90 fps with previous system (10700k).

Can you show me your Nvidia 3c settings of DCS? Those are still on default. I frogot to save them (or write them down, before reinstalling new OS).

You've got a render resolution of 1.3 in the headset - render resolution is the same as PD (pixel density).

A PD of 1.2 in OTT.

So that's 1.2 x 1.3 = 1.56 total. Multiply your headset's native resolution by 1.56, and you'll get a high overall render resolution, which is hard for any system.

I think I saw you are using Quad Views as well. If so, set both headset PD to 1.0 and OTT to 1.0 and just set the PD in quad views.

And lower your headset to 72Hz. You're expecting too much from DCS.

 

[skywalker22]

Thx, will do as you told me.

NVidia settings make no difference in VR that I have seen.

Also, you didn't show your DCS VR settings screen that shows the DCS PD.

[skywalker22]

I have, 3rd pic 3 posts above.

In OpenXR Tollk have these settings:

CAS upscaling

Inner ring 60%

Middle resolution 1/2

Outer ring 75%

Outer resolution 1/8

Oh ok.

In that case, just set the PD in one place. 1.3x in your headset should be sufficient. Set the one in OTT to 1.0.

But.... you still haven't shown your DCS PD setting.

[skywalker22]

Its 1.0

[slughead]

Good. So set it to 1.0 in OTT, leave it alone in the Meta Link and try that. Also, set it to 72Hz in Meta Link.

[skywalker22]

So this PD in OQL to 1.3  and both others (in DCS and OTT on 1), right?

in OTT on 1:
