I might have expressed myself not clearly enough but I’m posting this information mostly for testing purposes.
Therefore the main point is not much debating what is one’s preferences, but whether these are also affecting motion smoothing with G2+WMR as much as I find them affecting motion smoothing with Index+SteamVR.
Bloom however is less a performance problem here but a legibility problem. When enabled it might make a nicer aura around the sun, but it is also making ground as seen from above when the sun is lower a little bit more fuzzy. This is also why, in order to keep the aura visuals but to remove the induced fuzziness, I’ve created this topic: [BUG/FEATURE] Render the Sun with a fading disk when bloom is disabled
Hope this helps!
