Trying to get more FPS in VR

[Whiskey1968]

Currently, I get between 18 and 23 FPS.  Its smooth with no jitters, tearing or artifacts.  When I first enter and sit in the Apache, I am upwards of 45 to 50fps but it drops very quickly.  PC is about 1.56 years old now. But i would like to maintain a modest 30-40fps if its possible.

System Spec:

INTEL CORE i5-12600K CPU | S.1700 | 10 (6P+4E) Cores - 16 Threads | 3.7Ghz - 4.9Ghz

I use Oculus tool tray, debugtool, OpenXR with VR desktop.  I haven't really messed with much inside the oculus settings.  In game I lowered them to medium except for textures is on high.  I do plan on upgrading to 64 gig ram within the next month. I have watched all the videos and tweaked the tool tray and debug tool as well as the VR desktop.   Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks

It can't be smooth at such low frame rates.

There can be many causes for this, so here are a bunch of questions.

Has it always been like this, or has it just started to happen?

What is your headset frame rate set to?

Is your CPU power or temperature throttling? This would explain a slowdown as the machine gets hot.

Does it only happen in aircraft, or does it also happen in the game menu before starting a mission? Try moving your head fast from side to side in the menu. If it's not smooth, you might be experiencing the core loading issue with the multi-threaded binary version of DCS. A workaround for this is available.

What does the task manager show for memory usage?

Is your GPU getting too hot and throttling down?

I got it figured out.  It was the VR Desktop that was the issue.  And yes, it did run ..smooth may be an over statement (you could really see a difference between what is was and what i get now without VR Desktop) but there was no freezes, lag or glitches and it looked pretty bad outside the cockpit.  I know, I'm baffled at that myself.  I am flying using the cable link rather than the airlink. 

Thanks for the reply though.  Had a friend on discord helped me through the process and proper set up.

 

Again, thanks for the reply.

Glad you got it working.
