After my previous posting that the screen was not refreshing while using the newer driver on an old i7 3770k system the 4644 WHQL driver works flawlessley. It does not freeze or quit MSFS as before.
What is the best fsaa setting in your opinion?
I’m at 4676 now. See above reply for it. 4676 Beta or 4672 WHQL.
4272/4676 has updates for Starfield.
I only use TAA. That is the best for me.

In some time I am looking to buy new PC, or better say buy components. For now i5 11400F or 12400F. And I was looking for 3060, but now I see A750 is about 100-150€ cheaper, but at tests it shows similar results.
But like we all know, it is not the same, test and long term usage.
How it perform in every day usage MSFS and other games. I do now only fly in MSFS, i play some other games, older and newer date. Anyone have that experience?
My opinion is, because it is cheaper it doesn’t need to be worse, just a new graph on the market, searching it’s path to the useres.
I don’t have any experience with the A750.
I use the A770LE 16 GB and am completely satisfied with it for FS2020.
The graphics are great due to the 16 GB off VRAM.
It does only provide a FPS of 30 if that matters to you.
And does not bother me.
Flight is smooth.

G’day all,
I’m looking for some guidance about building a very compact system for MSFS with a VR headset and no monitor. The object is to get about 40 fps on a Quest 3 headset or similar from a good internet connection. The application is for severely handicapped people in residential care (nursing homes) who still need mental stimulus and entertainment like this.
The hardware should be portable enough to fit n a wheeled suitcase of about cabin baggage size and max weight about 10 kG. When operating it should fit easily under a desk or table.
OK, that’s the background. Xbox won’t support VR so it is out. Gaming laptops can’t handle much heat.
Some of the more upmarket “barebones” pc’s though, have space for an Intel A770 GPU - there is a series by Intel (NUC Extreme) that seem tailor made for the job.
I’ve searched these forums in vain for somebody using VR with an A770. Is there some reason why the two won’t go together?
All help and suggestions will be gratefully received.

I have a Serpent Canyon with an A770 so yes, the base rig is a little smaller than an XBox. However, I’m not sure the i7-11Gen and even 64GB Base RAM with the GPU is gutsy enough to run the sim at 40fps consistently in VR.
Not being a VR user, it’s just a guess. But I’ve tweaked it to run a consistent 30 fps in worst case scenarios in 2D in a wide variety of challenging places like scenery heavy airports and PG cities. VR is another big step up though. If you only flew specific scenarios, like Discovery Flights, it might work. Otherwise you’re back to looking at a mid-size chassis.
The other possibility is a NUC Extreme, which still qualifies as an SFF. You’d have to integrate all of it though - it only comes barebones, so you’d have to source the OS, NVME drives, RAM and finding a gutsy enough GPU to fit in the chassis. So far with shenanigans, I’ve seen folks shoehorn a lower end slim RTX40, but Intel only recommends an RTX30 at the most.

I’d recommend a high end gaming laptop for your use case. This solution would be very portable and powerful along with unfortunately being expensive. Actually, a gaming laptop will be just as expensive as a high end desktop so actually not excessive with regards to pricing. The heat factor can be managed on a good gaming laptop from a reputable vendor.
The unit at the link below looks like it has sufficient specs for VR, however, I’m not a gaming laptop expert and you should consult with one before purchase. I’m sure there are some in this forum who do MSFS with VR on a laptop that could jump in…
Edit: perhaps you should create a new thread with your inquiry above as this thread is of a different topic. The people on this forum are very help and will provide lots of feedback I’m sure.
In addition to @CasualClick excellent recommendations, I would like to suggest a youtube channel pretty well versed in SFF builds, that I’ve been following over the years.
Apologies if you already know about it.
A FormD T1 case with aluminum panels plus all the bells and whistles is around 8.5kgs and should fit in a carry on (ex. weight is measured for a 7950x w/Axp-90 x47 cooling and 4090 FE graphics - it can vary depending on the chosen components of course).
Let us know what you end up choosing 
@CasualClick, thanks for your reply.
I have no problem with building a rig on the NUC Extreme with i7 or i9, although for MSFS (32GB ram and 1TB M2) it won’t be cheap. It will take an A770 according to Intel - there is enough space and power and the cooling is apparently pretty good on the NUCs.
But I till can’t find a VR user of the A770! Pity, because a compact pc will need a low power consumption GPU to have a reasonable life expectancy.
@WingWarper1, thanks for your reply.
That is certainly a mighty laptop! It ticks most of the boxes, certainly is light and small enough. The frame rate in VR would probably be enough too.
But I picked this thread because I am particularly curious if anyone is using VR with an Intel A770 gpu. It’s low power consumption would be a real asset in a super small pc.
Fire hazards are not welcome in nursing homes, and that thing has a lipo battery packed in tightly next to what amounts to a three or four hundred watt heating element, and on charge most of the time.
@kido007dz,thanks also.
Those Form D T1 cases are new to me, and I want to look more closely at their use in my country, Australia. I’d prefer not use water cooling, but the A770 GPU puts out a lot less heat than that fellow’s 4090 so it might work.
Thanks again.
Not a lot of activity, but you could try the /intelnuc Reddit Channel.
The A770 certainly has a lot of positives going for it - I know @MSFSRonS has one so perhaps he might be able to comment if it could be used for VR?
Hi
I am using an A770 LE16gb.
Win 11. i5 13600k and 64ram
Reverb g2
Msfs works great with this in VR,
I have the graphics dumbed down in order to get around 50fps. I only use it for Heli flying, and prefer smooth control to eye candy.
Hope that this helps
Stu
That’s the news I wanted to hear, great. It was beginning to look bad for the A770 and VR.
Your figures look encouraging. Thanks.
