I get pretty high frame times. Like in the 20’s and a bright bar of red zooming by on th vrfps tapp shows. Is this common among everybody or is it just my setup (Pimax 5k Super) The FPS is obviously lower and I figure that to be normal. I believe that if I have response times as bad as they are, a lot of frames must be getting dropped. Same thing happens with F1 22.
Does anyone experience this stuff and/or have they been able to improve it?
Hi,
I use a Quest 2 headset, not Pimax sorry. But I can relate to the experience you outlined regarding high frame times and the red bar appearing.
Yes, I believe frames are being dropped because it takes longer for your PC to generate the frames than what the headset can display (in other words, by the time the frame has finished being created, a new one is already required). I’d imagine you may also be experiencing stutters as a result?
Are you currently running the maximum FOV (e.g., 200deg) with your headset?
As a temporary measure, what happens if you cap your max FPS in nvidia control panel to 45, lower your VR resolution, and lower your OLD and TLOD to 75 (for both) in the sim?
If these temporary adjustments improves your performance, you should be able to maintain solid green bars in the MSFS FPS counter and stutters should disappear. Ideally, you want to try and retain solid green all the time, with only occasional flickers of yellow.
If that all works, then try increasing each setting one at a time to see what impacts the frame times the most.
Hope some of this might be useful to you, apologies if you’ve already tried some or all of it. Let me know how you get on.
Cheers,
Thanks for the response and ideas to try. I appreciate the help.
I’m going to turn the the refresh rate up to 180hz and that will reduce the FOV. I also have the fps set to 60FPS max in the radeon because I’m between that and 90 FPS in game. I don’t know what OLD and TLOD are though. I can research that though.
OLOD = Object level of detail
TLOD = Terrain level of detail.
Both of these settings are in the sim, under graphic settings, VR. They’re sliders that range from 0 to 400.
Cheers,
Aw shucks I should have known that. Thanks for the help!
