VR setup for Quest Meta 3 and RTX 4080S

[Doremas]

Good evening, the other day, I created a post to look for answers on how to best set up my new RTX 4080S graphics card combined with an Oculus Meta Quest 3, because I didn't find any posts on the forum.

I noticed that the FRAME RATE is very unstable while the FPS goes at a fixed 90.

I certainly have some standard settings on the video card, which I would like to optimize to try to obtain a more stable FRAME RATE.

If you can give me a hand I would be very grateful.

In the attachment I put the screenshots of the DCS settings

TY so much

Builds:

CPU: AMD 7950X3D
MB: MSI CARBON WIFI X670E
RAM: 64GB 6600MHZ
DISK: 3 nMve 2TB
SKVIDEO: RTX 4080 SUPER
OCULUS: QUEST META 3

Do you notice a problem or are you looking for a solution to the in-game overlay's framerate? If you are having display issues, what are your Meta Link settings? I would suggest you set it for 72Hz and try again. In the Meta Link settings, set it for 72Hz and move the resolution all the way to the right which gives you a PD of 1.3. Then in DCS use a PD of 1.0.

Meta Link software automatically applies ASW, so your 90fps could actually be 45fps or bouncing back and forth like a ping pong ball.
To get it to turn off, you have to use ODT(Oculus Debug Tool) C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics

The tool must be left open to be successful, if it will be successful as it often turns it back on for me.

There are other settings in there in case you want to try a higher PD, use this and not DCS. You can change the bit rate up to 960 by typing 960 into a text document and cutting and pasting it in, otherwise it won't accept it.

The other tool you maybe interested in trying is QuadViews which will allow you to use a fixed foviated rendering which allows the outer resolution to be decreased increasing resolution for the center. They may or may not still be having issues, I think there is a workaround but the latest Meta update caused issues. Also there is another tool called OpenXR Tool Kit which also has a version of foviated rendering, though the tool is no longer supported and may also be having the same issue with the Meta update. It's best use for me is the Overlay which is more reliable than DCS.

I personally moved over to VD(Virtual Desktop) with a dedicated 6e router. My system is far less capable than yours, but it looks really nice and I don't have to worry about the next Meta update.

The other strategy is to lower all your settings and then raise them one at a time starting with the ones important to you. You could also try DLSS and DLAA.

The issues with the Meta update and OXR layers have been solved by a hotfix from Meta themselves like 1 or 2 days ago.

Thanks, I'm not using so not paying too much attention. But I do remember the patch now that you mention it.

Thank you for your intervention. I realized that I had written Frame Rate, but I meant Frame Time. Also yesterday I got the new mouse, a Logitech g509.
I set the mouse frequency to 500mhz magically the Frame Time has stabilized and no longer creates problems for me.

I want to consider some things you recommended and see if I can improve a little more. I also wanted to try VD, but there are probably procedures to follow.

If you would like to give me advice even yes VD I would be grateful. Maybe you have a procedure on what to do. I use the Q3 with the cable.

I await your message and thank you again for the advice you have provided me.

Virtual Desktop is WiFi only and preferably with a 6e(802.11ax) router. My connection is a dedicated TP Link router that is connected to the main router via ethernet cable and then my PC is connected via ethernet too, a WiFi connection to the PC just doesn't work. Then my Q3 is connected via WiFi 6e to the TP Link. There are no other devices connected to that router and all other WiFi types are shutoff. VD costs $20 USD from the Meta store, and a companion app for your PC from Virtual Desktop Companion App

Those are the basics, if you're going to follow through, post again once you have them installed.
