I have tried this in the past if I am honest but it has not quite worked at the time. However now if you have a good spec, say an Nvidia 4090 with a I13900K CPU and a Reverb G1 or G2 you can reduce the headset frequency from 90 to 60Hz. As I have said this used to create some problems (flickering). It is a lot less noticeable now and you can ditch the wobbly Motion Reprojection, get much crisper picture and clarity with smooth frames. Go give it a go!
Didn’t work for me. I9 12900 and RTX3090. Too much flicker. Guess I need that 4090 after all!
There is at my end a bit of flicker as well but it outweighs by a good margin the wobble of artificially induced frames to also give a clearer picture particularly in the cockpits.
If you’re not sensitive to the movie-theatre-like flicker from the 60 Hz, sure. I am. Pretty headache inducing.
If you’re not into MR, better to just adjust your settings to target somewhere north of 45 fps, and lock to 45 FPS. It’s quite a smooth experience.

Absolutely not. This drives me batty! Can’t stand 30 seconds of it, and for any duration I will still see remnants of flicker behind my eyelids when I close my eyes too. I don’t know how some of you do it.

I am in 60hz with 12900k-3080ti, I have been always in 60hz with the G2, since DLSS in Performance, Motion R is off, I do not remember to have flickers never.
There is no smooth experience at 45fps or 30fps without motion reprojection and that induces artefacts that frankly now I am totally fed up with it. So I will take the slight flicker instead but the point I am making it seems that on a 4090 with a good CPU that perhaps is less, might be just wishful thinking on my side or perhaps in my late 50`s now I am not getting younger to notice anymore… to put it politely lol.

Hi! If you have a 4090 with an i9-13900K, you shouldn’t need to reduce the refresh rate that low to achieve good VR performance without motion reprojection or even having to use DLSS… I’m on a i9-9900K OC’ed to 5.0GHz and a 3080 Ti and I lock in 36 FPS on 72Hz with a Quest 2 and get really great, smooth performance even in aircraft like the Fenix in busy (VATSIM busy) airports… Let me know and I can post up my settings if you want a bit of help tuning your rig. Things like OpenXR Toolkit do wonders for performance tuning, if you aren’t using it already.
60hz, 60 fps aren´t really smooth enough lol, so you could state too that something less that 165hz+ is not smooth haha.
60hz and you convert the spare Hz to 90 in sliders and setting to ultra could be the better choice with a 4090. MR is really horrible, though better than a stutter fest, if there isn´t other chance, ok, use it like I did for several months. Now I am in very smooth and some stutter from time to time or bad sceneries like to watch a film of 24hz, no problem, better than MR for me and 60Hz.
