Monitor resolution setting for VR

[Marquis_of_Bankend]

I am waiting on my PCL being delivered and am researching setup information. Question I have is what does the DCS monitor resolution setting do as it has no effect (I don't think but stand to be corrected) on the headset.

If it is only for the monitor surely setting it very low would reduce load on GPU?

Thanks in advance.

It only affects the resolution of the monitor.

My understanding is that reducing the resolution has such minimal benefits that it's not even recommended.

There is zero advantage to setting a low monitor resolution.

No, because the monitor just acts like a repeater of your VR headset. There's nothing extra being rendered.

We've tested this. It makes no difference.

The only advantage to using a lower resolution is if you want to have a windowed mirror rather than full screen. I set mine to 1080 with a 1440 monitor. It has no effect on performance.
