How are you starting DCS? Are you using Meta link, Steam or VD?

I'm using VD and noticed they increased the settings, so Godlike went from 3090 to 4090. I assume that this why mine was having issues and it got better when I changed to 3070 even though I have always used thec3090 setting.

There are also issues with Quadviews for other headsets with eye-tracking. If your using OXRTK that may also be having issues especially with turbo. They are no longer  supported because of issues with ED breaking OXR standards in data passing.

So if you had any settings with them that could be doing it.

For me, I used the in game CPU/GPU monitor and I went from red CPU bound to green GPU bound with FPS of 75-80 and confirmed with the OXRTK onscreen monitor. However, 20 to 30 minutes in on to SP run my Q3 started getting distortions and then crashed. DCS was still active but the headset was frozen. Lowering the VD setting to RTX 3070 fixed it on one test I have had time for.

I do not understand what you mean here...how to lower?  I am using VD.

Thanks.

Under streaming in the VD settings, you will see presets for different graphic cards. Godlike, Ultra etc all have graphic card examples next to them.

From other folks I fly with the consensus is VR FPS are tanked.
