Crystal 72Hz

[USA_Recon]

This week I was given access to a new beta firmware that features the 72Hz for the Crystal. In combination with eye tracking using DFR, I was getting 80-90 fps with my i7 13700 with 4090. As everyone knows though, especially in DCS multiplayer it’s nearly impossible to maintain 90fps, and the result can mean ghosting effects etc .

With 72Hz, I can definitely maintain > 70 fps and the result is buttery smoothness! I noticed no side effects at all. Rolling toward the ground tracking a bandit made it easier to follow, etc . As a side note I tried warbirds as well, and saw no visuals issues.

Basically already running at 35 PPD, DFR and 72Hz provides a great experience for DCS - really looking forward to everyone getting this soon!  I also think this will really help folks with lower system specs.

I went from a G2 to a Crystal and it’s like going from a 3rd gen to a 5th gen fighter, a headset perfect for DCS VR simmers!

It does sound like 72Hz is the way forward for high speed simming.
