quad views and g2?

[X_legio]

Hi there, 

is the normal G2 compatible with quad views ? Any chance to have a step by step guide ?

[Phantom711]

It should work with fixed foveated rendering…

I don‘t think it gets more detailed than the official readme:

Yes , it work pretty well! Mbucchia instruction are enough to make it run

So basically there is nothing to do, install openxr toolkit and then the quad view. 

That's all.

Any suggestion about the openxr toolkit settings ?

There is a bit more to it than that. Please read MBucchia's instructions carefully. If someone tries to summarize it in this thread you may get something wrong. Please go to this page for clear instructions: https://github.com/mbucchia/Quad-Views-Foveated/wiki . Follow these carefully and don't try any shortcuts.

There are some settings you may have to change in the OpenXR Toolkit as described in this linked page. (e.g. do not implement the Fixed Foveated Rendering in the toolkit if you are using Quadviews.)

Quadviews is better at doing FFR compared to the toolkit. If you are confident enough to read the advance settings section here https://github.com/mbucchia/Quad-Views-Foveated/wiki/Advanced-Configuration  you will note that you can enhance the resolution in the focus section.

Also there is QuadViews Companion for easy config adjustments.

Yes, but after a new installation of both there is almost nothing to do except avoid the settings suggested.

Yes that is right. Do your final tweaks and then set and forget.

I have the Reverb G2 V2, are you running Quadviews with yours please?

All I couold get was a lot of stuttering.

Yes, I am running Quadviews with my G2. It has not caused any stuttering. However, make sure you follow Mbucchia's instructions. It's not compatible with some of the settings available in the OpenXR Toolkit.

I read somewhere on this forum that Quadviews are no longer necessary with the latest versions of DCS. I have it uninstalled on my G2 reverbs and I do the foveating with the OpenXr toolkit. It works very well for me and with good frame rates.

! I've not seen this anywhere @Silver_, where did you read that QV is no longer necessary?

There's no point in using Quadviews for a G2 as it doesn't have eye tracking.

Normal fixed foveated will produce the same results and it's way easier on your CPU.

[mbucchia]

It's a trade-off really.

Quad views can immensely help with GPU performance, but at high cost on the CPU. This cost is due to DCS engine rendering technique being heavy on the CPU.

VRS-based solutions (OpenXR Toolkit/vrperfkit/Pimax Foveated rendering) only have the potential to moderately help on the GPU, and at no cost on the CPU.

So bottom line is if you have a lot of CPU headroom, Quad views will likely be a better solution for you, especially at high resolution.

Well, the expert has confirmed what I had thought. Thanks for your brilliant work Mbucchia. I am loving my G2 in DCS right now but dreading the day Microsoft will brick it.

I have been using Quadviews FFR in lieu of the OpenXR Toolkit FR and I believe my CPU still has some headroom whereas the GPU is maxed out.

What companion settings are yall using for qv with g2?
