resolved I suddenly get horrendous performance

[moggel]

Please advice. Last week I started getting crappy performance from my hardware and setting. In VR I'm used to seeing between 45-80 FPS. Suddenly, without any apparent reason (I hadn't changed any settings) I was looking at ~20-25 FPS, sometimes even sub 20.

As I started to troubleshoot I reset all DCS settings to "VR" (which acronym for "crappy settings to maximize performance; goodbye graphics - hello frame rates") and I was still looking at sub-30 FPS! I don't see anything obvious in the Nvidia control panel.

Hardware: i9 11900K, 64Gb DDR4, RTX 4090, Varjo Aero
Windows 11 Home Edition. Latest Nvidia drivers. I do not have MSI Afterburner installed

Tested so far:

• Reset Nvidia control panel settings to default, then changed "Power management mode" to "Prefer maximum performance"
• Reset DCS settings to "VR" (really bad graphics quality)
• Tested Multi Thread and Single Thread (equally bad performance)

DCS is currently not playable
I'm stumped

Mystery has been solved. Turns out I had activated V-sync in the Varjo Base software and (apparently) not noticed the performance  degradation at first so I didn't connect the dots. Duh!
