My set up is an i7 7600 and a Gigabyte Xtreme OC RTX 3080. 16GB RAM.
Still in the process of getting it all working and optimised as well as I can but as of today I really think I’m almost there. I’ve got it looking as good as I think its going to and I’ve got the FPS where it probably needs to be. Any performance boost I get over and above this will be down to Asobo and Nvidia optimising the sim and RTX drivers more.
My thoughts on VR and very positive. Its incredibly rich and immersive. I can see it being very difficult to going back to playing it on a flat screen now. VR is such a game changer. Just in general I think VR is coming of age now finally. The Quest 2 is a real game changer for the medium. We’re going to see better and better headsets and PC hardware thats more and more optimised to run VR properly and with greater ease.
My favourite VR experience in the sim so far is zooming around the Swiss alps in the MB-339 fast jet. Such amazing fun. I tried that Eurofighter Typhoon but it doesn’t seem well optimised. I get a massive performance hit with it. Shame, since it looks like it should be great fun.
