VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) After some playing around and tests, I have established a baseline so that it can be used for comparisons in the future. The benchmark baseline is not used to tune settings. That the baseline serves as the basis when there is one thing changed, let's say, the next OB version, I can check how the performance differs, if any, when everything else remains the same. This is a somewhat not-so-scientific A/B test. Because there are a number of factors that are beyond control: Windows changes, NVIDIA drivers changes, VR drivers changes, and equipment getting old, etc. The scenario or the track file is designed so that there are reasonable amount of actions happening around at the same time, because this is DCS World, not MSFS, not just simply flying. The jet plane used because it is faster and is more demanding in terms of frame rate and frame time (which measures the smoothness) than helicopter. And the graphics settings in DCS attempt to push it towards the limit. At the end of the day, I am sick and tired of people using one single screenshot and claims, without any setup details and context, that certain thing(s) give great performance, and if yours does not work like that, the fault is yours.Turns out, performance is something a very dynamic and complicated thing and it is not what some people think. Hope this clarifies a few things. And the details of the benchmark are in the video. Mission and track files are enclosed.

VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Saved game, your DCS folder and then Tracks. For my setup, it would be E:\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Tracks As usual, your insights and comments are welcome. I am always looking for ways to make it better. 1 VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.

I can control this to a degree by limiting the FPS but if the frame rate drops below the target rate, I get huge latency spikes. 1 5800x3d: rtx4070: 64Gb 3200: 1Tb NVME: Pico 4: Rift S: Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 I see,I guess it was just my system. Actually when actual playing, I did not set any target frame rate. I am not using OpenXR toolkit altogether cause I am using the Foveated Rendering via Quad Views. VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.
