I’m a recent convert to VR (Reverb G2) and have the settings dialed in (low or off in some cases) with rendering at 70 in both Open XR and within MSFS. I use a gaming laptop that has 32GB DDR and an i7-10875 set at 5Ghz and an Nvidia 2080 Super video card with 8GB Video Memory DDR6. The experience is very smooth but somewhat blurry, which is an acceptable trade off in VR. I fly the TBM 930 almost exclusively with some mods like the G3000 and flight model tweaks.
In any case, I get CTDs on almost every flight especially in the densely populated built-up Northeast US. I’ve switched between live weather and custom weather with overcast and broken clouds (which are set to medium). I’m assuming the CTDs are due to the maximum video RAM being exceeded. Is this the typical cause of CTDs in MSFS? I don’t have any addons, my nvidia driver is updated with 461.40, and the Open XR is up to date.
As a consequence or a benefit (depends) of the CTDs, I’m upgrading to a desktop with a 3090, 128GB Dual Channel HyperX DDR4 RAM at 3200mhz, and an i9 10900 with 10-cores and 5.3Ghz speed, and a 2TB SSD.
