Another post MT Patch benefit (that also applies in ST, so more the patch than the multithreading). HAGS is "OK" to leave on now.....

Prior to this patch, enabling HAGS in windows and running VR in DCS had around a 5-10% FPS hit as well as a lot of stutters and jitters. 

AFTER the patch...  No matter if I use ST or MT... HAGS ON or OFF makes zero positive OR negative differences. So now you can leave it on for your other games like MSFS2020 DLSS3 or Cyberpunk 2077.   DCS was the last game for me that caused me to keep HAGS off and now I can safely say that's no longer the case.

Proof attached!  System in signature.  I also was on Discord, Teams, OBS was streaming, my full office suite was up.. tons of files open etc.

For reference, the below is ultra settings 250% render resolution HP Reverb G2.  F-14 Persian Gulf carrier quals and F-16 Syria Free Flight.  used to be that F14 PG CQ was my CPU Bottleneck test (around 48 pre patch, 65 post patch and 90 post patch MT) and F-16 Syria FF was my GPU Test (Around 72 pre patch, 78 post patch, 90 locked post patch MT).

Also running latest 531.29 driver.

Agreed. My online experience has been alot better with HAGS enabled on DCS Multithreading - especially when running with motion reprojection (ASW) on via OpenXR and Quest Pro.

Prior I had serious stutters / jitters with DCS Singlethreading and HAGS enabled - which I could also see on my frametime-graph.

Thx alot for the tip! I was indeed wondering in the past why DCS would be my only game that had issues with HAGS - that is the past.

Fingers crossed ED don't mess this up in future patches - the Multithreading environment still needs more time in development.
