GTX 1660 Super + Quest 2 - anyone made it playable?

Before I splash out on some considerable money on a new graphics card to try and improve my VR experience, I was wondering if anyone has managed to make the game playable in VR with a Quest 2 and 1660 Super. By playable I mean a relatively smooth frame rate & decent’ish scenery and cockpit graphics. Or is this impossible with a 1660 Super?

Like many others, I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking settings in all the various places. I can occasionally get it running and have a flight, but the scenery is blurry. And the cockpit too, mainly the buttons. I have to put my face about 1 inch from the instrument panel to be able to read the buttons.

Cheers

Same specs here and just rented a Quest 2. Flying around in low density areas on 80-90 render scale is quite smooth but the graphics are quite bad. Reading instruments, in particular glass cockpits, is almost impossible. Scenery looks a bit like an arcade game from the 80s. Yes immersion is there but at a huge graphics cost. Anything above 90 render scale has brought my machine to its knees with 2-3FPS… Good I didn’t buy the headset, waiting to upgrade my rig first…

Pretty much describes my experience too. The only guide/settings that I’ve found that helped a tiny bit for me were from a YouTube channel called VR Flight Sim Guy and the video titled ‘MSFS VR QUEST 2 SETUP & CONCLUSION!’ on 10th Jan.

I had some success with help from a member of the forum, its doable but with compromises.

Assuming your connecting vis usb
Settings in oculus debug:

Supersample multiplier at 1.7
Time warp disabled .. you can experiment with this
Mirror fov 0.7 0.6
Distortion low
Encode resolution 3664
Bit rate 200

Settings in oculus store
72 hz
Resolution set to 1x

Msfs vr settings
Render 50
Terrain and objects detail 60
Set everything low

I have a 3770k overclocked to 4.4ghz 24gb ram and 1660 ti

Once stable you can move msfs settings up such buildings trees etc

Cities etc are probably out of the question but mountain areas are pretty good in ga planes

Hope it helps
