Try going to settings in windows and then display. With your vr headset plugged in and powered on; now check the number of displays that are showing up in settings, are there more than the displays showing?
I use just a laptop display but my settings were showing the vr display as two extra and another single extra display instead of just the one display (my laptop display) giving a total of 4 displays. Windows automatically renders the VR displays (this is extra and separate from any other program using vr) causing a massive gpu load, even when I’m not actually using any program such as fs2020 in VR mode. I don’t know if I’m allowed to recommend a you tube content creator (moderators please advise) but I’ll try: flight sim guy has a video showing how to create a registry key that stops windows rendering the extra screens. The video was titled ’ get 50 % fps back by changing this setting on g2 reverb’ or something like that. I did this for the g1 reverb and a mobile rtx2060 and got super smooth motion and very clear instruments.
So basically from what Im understanding is that without the registry change; windows renders extra displays without actually outputting the results and that’s before I’ve even started fs2020. At one point I checked the display numbers in settings when running fs2020 and found that windows was trying to render 7 displays leading to 15-20 fps and puke city! Made the changes and now only shows 3 displays when running vr and fs2020, result: silky smooth vr and very readable displays.
Moderators: can i update this post to show a direct link to the you tube video to help this guy out please?
