Pimax 8kx Performance

Hi,

First MS2020 in VR looks simply impressive.

So my big problem is simply the Vr Performance… I have read the most tuning threads and nothing helps realy .. VR in MS2020 hav no good performance…

So any tips or hints what can i do .

MY Specs ar:
VR: Pimax 8KX
GPU: Palit 3090 Gamerock with Kingpin Bios an Watercolled
CPU I9-11900k
2TB Samsung SSD
32GB RAM @4000

so then …
greets

VR Flight Sim Guy recently posted a series on the 8K X. One thing he did was to use 72hz mode among other things. The recently announced performance improvements probably aren’t going to hurt anything, either

What is a Palit “8090”?

Anyway, if its a 3090 typo, try:
nvidia 477.11, low latency: ultra, lock to 75fps, TF quality: High Perf, VR prerendered: 1
pimax: 75hz, normal FOV, 0.5 scaling, parallel ON, smart smooth OFF
steamVR: 150%, motion smoothing ON
msfs: renderscale 100%, ambient low, clouds ultra, buildings high.

I get 25 in NYC and 35+ in the mountains, 8KX, 5900x, 3090, 64gb.

No chance … have tryed to optimized the pi tool and steam vr… but the sim stays on the 8kx unplayable having around 20 fps… thats to low for good vr looking.

What really helps of the low FPS … 'DX12 and DLSS 2.1 ( new for VR)… without Raytracing… the iam sure MFS2020 rund really smooth the expected frames are round about 30-40 FPS more maybe… Then VR is enjoyable… so in this state it looks surpreme… but the frames are ruining the vr experince…

so waiting and Asobo is looking for the potiential of flighing in VR…

Fingers crossed for the performance upgrades coming in 3 weeks or so

I have a similar rig, just a bit weaker with a 9900k at 5.2GHz but I’m able to have great quality with about ~45fps on the 8KX. I don’t think you have a very optimized config.

45fps flying where? Surely not places like KJFK, KSFO.

Can you maybe post your Settings… So i can compare these… Mybe i have a Performence Hogger…

Yes absolutely. Thing is it took me a lot of time to get the settings to land in nice place so I’ll have to document each one so others can replicate it. I’ll post tomorrow ish the list and at least a simple guide.
