I’m not running DLSS, I’m running TAA and FOV in OpenXR… I don’t like the blurry gauges/glass etc… i get with frame gen…
I also have every other setting ULTRA and traffic on… removing traffic (cars / planes / boats) gives me 5 or 6 more frames but I really like the look of them in game. I’m really not hindered by the odd hiccup atm.
also don’t do smart smoothing… is that in pimax settings?.. never liked it pre pimax but never tried it since. found it makes artifacts on propellors and I fly mostly props.
I’m close to 36 locked most of the time, but don’t have any frame-gen smoothing options selected.
My FOV is not aggressive at all… I actually have a hard time telling it is on at all. I really need to focus on my peripheral to see it is working.
Definately looking at the 9800x3d as soon as possible… won’t move to a 5090 until I can get one watercooled. I really can’t go back to fans… My son uses my older 5900x / 3090 ti setup and cpu is AIO, but 3090 sounds like he’s actually flying a turboprop sometimes… so loud. I’ve loved the silence of my system when running full tilt which is absolutely nothing. One of those things that you really can’t go back from.
