Hey! I am no expert, and yet to turn on VR myself, awaiting headset. You are limited by Main Thread - the CPU. your GPU is in the 20ms that is good! Are you running 9900k at base 3.6 Ghz? You could push your 9900k to an easy 4.5 GHz. That might really help you. I have a 9700K I push to 4.9 Ghz with a Noctua cooler. I have a 1660Ti and will be be GPU limited. hoping I get 20- 25fps in VR… doesnt look good though.
@TJUKiRacer - thanks so much for posting your settings! Before I used them, I was getting pauses every 1.5 seconds, making the sim unflyable. I just tried a circuit at KVNY (where I learned to fly), and wow, yeah!!
Thanks so much…I will explore more now!
I am getting bad performance with my Rift S in MFS.
I am running a 7700k at 4.8ghz with a 2080ti and 32gb DDR4.
Very poor visuals like difficult to read cockpit switches and the view outside not very good even at low altitudes I was kind of expecting to see good definition but suspect that a limitation of the Rift S. Strange thought because i have several games from the Oculus store that look stunning graphically.
After more tweaking I’ve changed now using the following settings, quick set up guide too
I am using the following on my rig
Rift S (Oculus v24)
9700KF @ 5.1ghz
2080TI (driver 457.30 game ready)
32gb DDR4 @ 3400mhz
MSFS on a dedicated SSD
NB: I did try messing around with the openxr but it doesn’t do anything I think that’s mainly for supporting the G2 out of the box.
I checked the public beta to get v24 of the oculus app. I am also running Nvidia driver 457.30, reason being the earlier one 452.06 won’t work with xplane vulkan (if you do run this too?) and the later versions don’t seem to work as well on the 2000 series graphics card drivers.
I applied the below to my Nvidia Profile for MSFS:
I have found the below the best settings similar to TJUKiRacer, but turning up the render scaling up to 120 but down the anisotropic to 8x and turning off super-sampling. May help others:
you know i was wondering what would make the gauges and buttons more readable an could not come across any suggestion from the community until now. THanks and ill try the ppdo thing. I only have a 1070 but oc’d to about 2Ghz core average on high load. i feel like you should be getting more fps like ~30 but you do have more aggressive graphics options than me. Im on everything medium with %100 resolution scale x16 AF (does this have a performance hit on VR? usually AF has no performance loss up to 16x on every regular DX11 game). getting like 27 - 30 fps flying 2,000 ft
I set up a vr zoom bottom on both joystick and throttle for this very reason. If I set it too high in game 150% it gets too stuttery. That gives me the ability for accuracy whilst not compromising smoothness for the rest of the flight.
rift s is 80 hz so 1/2 rate is 40 and 1/4 rate is 20.
the oculus tray tool doesnt have the option of 40 and 20, just has 30 45 and 18.
how are rift users using asw on OTT without the option of 40 and 20 being there.
on another note. any 3080 or 3090 users with the rift s? is 40 fps and smooth performance possible in the A320?
will test tomorrow and feedback on 3090 however i think the a320 747 and 787 need a few more updates before they will be smooth enough. When i have tried a320 i get egg timer on approach to airports
what have helped me, and i’m surprised i haven’t seen this mentioned, is setting ASW to 18Hz instead of 30hz in tray tool after the game has started. example - you start msfs with 18hz in tray tool, switch to 30 and then back to 18hz - this still has some minor jitters here and there (i think its a game optimisation issue rather than VR) but the game is now somewhat smooth (definitely smoother than on any other Hz setting) and the render scale is on 80% with the settings more or less the same as in the .pdf mentioned above
these are my specs:
i7 7700
16Gb Ram
Geforce GTX 1070 overclocked
I assume that 18Hz works for me due to my old graphics card and this might not be necessary for 2080 and newer users…
Thanks for all the great tips mentioned in this thread and in the forum, that really helped me from being almost unplayable to being quite enjoyable!
