Sorry folks, the first version was taken down because of the music so I had to change it and reupload. In the meantime I got a great piece of advice: If you use even a little bit of the Fixed Foveated Rendering in OpenXR, you get enough FPS boost so that you can further bump your resolution in the Oculus app and still get the same performance. While Turbo Mode should disable ASW, somehow I found that through the Oculus Tray Tool I can still force ASW modes, and that's how I get the smoothest experience. EDIT: News came in from ED, apparently running DCS as an admin is not such a good idea after all. Experiment at your own risk.
Had me wondering why you re-upped the video. I'm glad the Foveated Rendering thing helped increasing your performance and therefor the headroom for a higher resolution setting.
Hi Reflected, thanks. The part about ED suggesting DCS is not run as admin... this I find puzzling...do you have an answer/explanation why ED would make this recommendation? I enjoy your channel, thanks.
Hey man I just wanna say thank you for making this vid. Un Parking the CPU cores really is a game changer. I’m now finally able to run Op Cerberus North without stuttering. You Sir are a legend 👍🏻 Cheers 🍻
This video has somehow solved literally every issue 2.9 gave me. The stuttering being the main issue, I am absolutely delighted that this has been solved. Someone get this on an ED thread and elevate the suffering 2.9 has caused for hundreds. I am now having an out of body experience. Complete elation. Thank you so much ReflectedSimulations.
This new update was a complete game changer for me. The DLSS in VR took my graphics from potato quality to amazing and drastically improved my performance. I’m seeing details I didn’t even know existed before.

Finally🎉,after days if not weeks of struggle reading posts and video..AMAZING! Thank you man (and Flaby!)
I have been struggling for over a week with horrendous lag and frame drops.... Thanks to this video and Quick CPU I am sorted, I have my beloved DCS back and flyable!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Something that worked well for me in VR is setting ingame vr resolution scaling as small as possible (0.5) and setting resolution scaling in steamvr (or the oculus app, but I haven't tested that) to 200% (or the corresponding value you had before, so 130% becomes 260%, also experiment with what is enough for you). Though it might do the opposite for you, so your milage may vary. My headset is a pico neo 3 link
If you have turbo mode ON try turning that to OFF. DCS through steam doesn’t typically play nice with turbo mode. Having that in within steam will make things stutter a bit
Hi you legend and thanks a million for this top tips. I have followed alot of other guides for my Quest 3 and Nvidia 3060Ti (slightly overclocked) set up but nothing has really worked, until this one. This one did the trick, I don't know exactly what it was I just followed it to the point exept the XR tool turbo mode that never seem to work for me. But all other worked and I am now getting a stable 72 FPS with good graphics on my mediocre set up. Thanks!!
Thank you and amazing per usual, Reflected!! I did all these settings listed in the video but for some reason I can not read what any of the knobs, switches, text on the MFD's. Cant make out the HSD and it's radar contacts. Every thing is a bit blurry and I have to VR-Zoom to read anything. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Oculus Quest 2 256MB, 3080ti, 64GB RAM, i-7-9700
Hey Reflected, I really appreciate the tips! The Nvidia setting didn't work for me unfortunately. It slowed my computer to a crawl:) Unparking CPU seems to help quite a bit.
From what I understand on the Parking/unparking core thing is this was an early on issue in windows 11 when upgrading from windows 10. Win11 wasn’t properly identifying game mode to utilize the performance cores for gaming and therefore leaving performance on the table. I thought this has since been resolved but you still see just as many tutorials out there telling users to Park 1/2 their cores as you do tutorials telling users to unpark the cores. Can get quite confusing especially if windows thinks DCS is a sim and not a game. 😂
My frames are Trailing Behind everything when Im in motion like a hacked computer with multiple tabs opening i cant figure out why. Does anyone have an answer?
@ReflectedSimulations I was getting great results on 2.9 before the latest update. Now I can’t even get the menu screen to run smoothly in VR. I’ve tried all of your suggestions. No luck. Did you have this problem before you adjusted settings? Any one else?
If you're running OpenXR Toolkit, try disabling Turbo Mode in it and see if it helps. When I tried to optimize my settings I ran across some occasions where that setting would make my rig choke a lot, just can't remember in which cases that was happening.
Hey reflected simulations! Great vid. I need some help, I am using a quest 2 with a 7900xtx gaming pc. The game runs great in non vr mode. But when I’m in vr mode my fps is capped at half of my quests refresh rate (36 fps when set at 72hz) do you know a way to get around this problem? Thanks!
You sir, are my saviour. I was getting massive fps drops and stutters when landing on carriers but you managed to fix it! Also, is it really worth it to keep Wake Turbulence on? I do a lot of aar, that's why I'm asking
Hey Reflected, thanks for this! I asked in the first upload as well but, wondering if you're experiencing any VRAM issues. I note you have a lower VRAM card (8GB I think?), but are running high terrain textures at pretty good resolution. For me when VRAM fills up it freezes and then resumes with degraded performance thence.
Hello one question I play pc/vr and yesterday I had an idea is it possible to put better resolution in your dominant eye and lower one in your non dominant, I think it would work because most of what you see comes from the dominant eye, so lowering the non dominant eye quality would be pretty much unnoticeable but it would leave more pc power for better resolution for the other eye
While never tried against DCS, but at the time of my new PC when Cyberpunk was new out, Armory Crate was causing huge fps loss for me, on a brand new machine. Had to remove all the asus bloat which fnally fixed the issues
@@ReflectedSimulations In my case a desktop asus mobo, 5600x new build with a 3080 at the time. CP being brand new was the benchmark for fiddling about with, and had no end of headaches until I stripped back all the drivers and put them on one by one until worked out it was Armory crate (and some others - I forget exactly which tho prob have it saved in a forum post on overclockers site). Obv a different game, but it was the difference in ray traced settings maxed out etc of being in the region of 60fps vs 40fps. That being said, there may have likely been early bios issues on top of that, as Windows 11 was unusable too (would miss occasional keyboard presses and mouse clicks - thought they were broken) so went back to W10. The main armory issues were with w10. Hopefully whatever the issue back then was fixed though with armory etc, but for obvious reasons I've been reluctant to try :)
@@ReflectedSimulationsI just did some digging and found some of my old posts on it. In short, it was Asus AI Suite that caused most of the problems. And had found other reports of other people with the same issues, resulting in the need to reinstall windows over the top of itself to fix without installing that POS. ccleaner, asus folders, services tweaking etc no undoing could get rid of the problems it caused. People managed to replicate every time the issue being introduced once AI Suite was on (I think armory crate might have been part of that). Another note at the time too, was turn off SVM and Hyper-V unless you absolutely need it on for virtualization, as when I was testing with that and Cinebench that being enabled also hurt performance, with many reporting it can reduce the bus clock
DCS vr for me is unusable as far as dogfighting is concerned. I can get the cockpit to look great, but anything beyond my wingtips is a blurry, shimmering, semi-transparent mess. I can't distinguish any aircraft type until they are very close, like 300 meters/yards away. At 3/4 of a mile (1.2km) an aircraft appears as a perfect little black square!? I can get 45-90 fps, 5-10ms frametimes, but nothing so far makes any difference to the quality of other aircraft appearance. I've spent more than 30 hours trying different settings and guides over the past 6 months. I have : I9-11900k / 3080ti / 32mg 3600 ram / reverb G2 / 1tb ssd / open XR + toolkit Does anyone have any advice ? Thanks in advance.
Recommendation for VR: Reduce screen-resolution from 1920x1080 to the lowest possible, unless you need a good image-quality on your 2D screen. One question from my side: why run DCS as admin? I don´t understand what this should do in terms of performance.
@@ReflectedSimulations Exactly. Your 2D-screen shows a mirror of what you see in your headset. If you don´t need this in hi-res, you might save some performance, when reducing the resolution here.
The mirrored image is exactly that. Just a mirrored image. The GPU hasn’t expended any resources to render that to the monitor. It’s no different than a static open browser window. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I prefer to set it smaller than my native monitor just to have the screen space.
Hello Reflected Simulations, i've watched this video but my graphics is still not ok, especially with the clouds. I have HORRIBLE clouds effects, especially if i look to the horizon far away from me, or when the clouds are touching the mountains, or at dawn or dusk, which is the worst of the worst. The effect is TERRIBLE. The clouds appear with too many pixels, squared and not detailed like yours in your videos (even in a daylight). In your videos, they're looking real! I'm sorry for my bad english. I have a very good pc, made expecially for DCS: ASUS RTX 4070ti with 12 GB 64 GB of RAM AMD RYZEN 7 7700X, 8 CORE with 5,4 GHz of boost NVME as archiviation MSI MPG B650 Carbon ATX as Motherboard Every setting is at maximun performance in DCS. So, whats happening to me? On my pc, DCS is always running with 165 fps in basically every wheater conditions. Is there a way to solve this? I didn't expect this, with such a good hardware
Turning off Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling with a 4000 series Nvidia card is a bad idea. 64GB RAM is a waste of cash unless you play a lot on MP servers (90% of players don't). A 'good' SSD is plenty good enough. I've swapped SSD's several times when upgrading and reinstalling DCS and it never makes any difference. There is a thread on the ED forums regarding 'max performance power setting, and it makes no difference from the 'normal' setting. A lot of your stuttering issues are likely because you've using a 3070 laptop...so a little less than 3060 desktop performance. It also looks like the Multithreading has moved to Openbeta and it isn't necessary to run the separate .exe now.

Liked and subscribed. Some of the windows/pc setup stuff I had never heard of before. Will definitely be trying it out.
Thanks Reflected, good knowledge buddy!
Love to see people repping the 180th stingers. thanks for the tips

YT is such a friendly platform... ;)
Totally... "Google is your friend", they said. "Don't be evil.", they said...

OpenXR was killing DCS from the main menu for me. All other settings + the Tray Tool settings really saved my entire VR experience, thank you!
Reset OpenXR to default .see how you get on , I think there was a bug .
If you have turbo mode ON try turning that to OFF. DCS through steam doesn’t typically play nice with turbo mode. Having that in within steam will make things stutter a bit
Change "Texture Filtering - Negative LOD Bias" to "Clamp". It will reduce any shimmering and has no impact on performance. :)
Thanks!

Turn off DLSS/FSR. It causes ghosting in some scenarios in my experience

How do you make openxr on dcs 2.9
Great tutorial and work thanks man.I wanna ask you about mirror eye you are using one eye setup I am using BOTH EYES is it effect Quality and FPS?
Tray tool made my dcs constantly crash. It's conflicting with something. Was running open xr.
Interesting. And if you reinstall? Are you running OTT and Oculus as admin?

Yes I have those sometimes. But low terrain textures are just too ugly. I hope ED optimized the VRAM usage soon
Doesnt work, unparked all (started with admin rights) Cores, parking index at 100%, apply... still 10 enabled, 10 parked cores.
Awesome settings

thx
I would use CAS in the openXR tool kit .
See how you get on .
But I already use DLSS upscaling. Would it make sense to use 2 different ones at the same time?
isnt this to do with sharpness and clarity
Another question about unparking the cores. Is that the same as using project lasso to set the affinity of cores that are maxing out?
No I don’t think it is
While never tried against DCS, but at the time of my new PC when Cyberpunk was new out, Armory Crate was causing huge fps loss for me, on a brand new machine. Had to remove all the asus bloat which fnally fixed the issues
