Is there any consensus on whether game mode/HAGS should be on/off? I turned both off in 2020 and it reduced stuttering etc. I’m still using the Reverb G2/Open XR with DLSS/quality in 2024 (4090/64GB RAM o/c CPU 5.8HGHz) and it’s pretty good (10-20 fps reduction with DX12 in 2024) save the G2 inherent lack of clarity. Not going to upgrade (pimax crystal lite) when/if VR and associated issues (EFB/mouse/etc) are addressed.
Thanks in advance
Curious myself. I’ve noticed people mentioning they have it on.
On 24/off 20. That’s my vote
Truth is every system is on its own. You have to try.
Ya, I agree mate. A few seem to like HAGS, Game Mode, and dx12 all enabled. For me, with my QPro/i913900k/rtx4090/win11 pro I prefer HAGS disabled, Game Mode off (doesn’t make much difference tbh), and non-experimental dx11 for msfs2020. I get smoother, more stable performance that way.
Might be different with msfs2024 since it only runs with dx12. Try and find out for yourself. Like a lot of things PCVR, you need to try these for a day or two to properly evaluate results. Don’t try these just once and decide imho.
For me (5800X, 32GB, 4070 Ti) it runs better in VR with HAGS disabled. It’s a bit cumbersome because you have to re-enable it for 2D frame generation.
