From g2 to quest 3. Distant objects pixilated

[nwagtmustang]

I love my reverb g2, hate wmr. Bought quest 3 because windows will kill off wmr. 

 

I am running 13900k, 7900 xtx and 64 gb mem. On the g2, everything looks great. On the quest, in the cockpit is great. However far off objects are pixilated.  For instance the super carrier. When I do a case 1 recovery in the hornet, the closer I get to the carrier, the worse it looks. When I do a fly by, the island, masts and the rest of the carrier have lot of jagged lines. On the g2, it was crystal clear. 

 

I am using a quality usb 3 cable. I have played with settings, watched YouTube videos.  However all the YouTube videos are with Nvidia gpus. I always had Nvidia, but with the recent price hikes above msrp and or out of stock, I went with amd. 

 

Never had a problem with the 7900xtx in dcs world or msfs 2020. Very smooth. Vr and non vr mode 

 

I am willing to upgrade to a 4090 as a last resort. However, since the g2 performed great with the 7900xtx, I am hoping there is something I'm missing with the quest. Never checked fps but it feels smooth. When doing a bfm with mig 29, I can the see the jet nicely.  It might be pixilated but can't tell. Maybe because it's a much smaller object than a carrier. In bfm with the 29, when I get low, the terrain looks beautiful

 

 

I have not tried any missions with ground targets. Can't comment on that. Just bought the quest 3 yesterday so I'm learning. 

 

Any ideas, pointers or tips?

What resolution, codec, bitrate and DCS Settings are you running?

I believe it's a result of the h264 encoding taking place due to the Q3 not having an actual display port or HDMI port.  I've seen the same thing with a 4090 see link below for my experience and why I'm returning mine.

I can get the Q3 pretty close to G2 distant detail, but it needs in game supersampling set to 1.8 or higher (or which ever method you desire for increasing it).  Also needs the link bitrate at about 500 (or maybe higher) to minimise smudging by the compressor. I get best results with H264. It also seems to have slightly lower latency, helping controller input, should you be flying choppers

Use airlink, virtual desktop with fast WiFi.  Ditch the cables.   Just set mine up.  Loaded msfs and dcs and blown away. Miles better than G2 with its microscopic sweet spot.   

I can look around by using my eyes!  No need to do the G2 head swivel just to check my mfds. 

G2 on ebay on Monday. I loved it,  but its been annoying me for ages with the horrible fresnel lenses and steaming up every damn time.  I've seen less steam out of a bloody kettle.
