Awesome! You got that spot on! I’ve been doing the same and came to same conclusions. I upgraded to an i9 and it’s very very smooth. I find if the oculus res is too high it crashes, which is annoying! I find my sweet spot is 1.3 and all on ultra in game apart from clouds on high. I prefer the debug tool with asw forced 45fps.
Feels great! I still see stuttering when flying very low but I think they will fix that soon enough. Cheers for the detailed post, I think it will help many others. My tutorial is here too, this was before I upgraded to a 3080. Tutorial
