I wonder if everything is ok with your set-up @Troll as that sounds a bit off? I think you run a 1080Ti, and I have a 2080 (not super, just plain) and had just recently ran DCS comfortably at 90 FPS with reprojection. My Steam settings on a Reverb G1 (same resolution as G2) are:
SteamVR beta 1.16.7 with ‘WMR for SteamVR’ beta 1.2.536
DCS bits. Pixel Density 1.0
Nvidia Driver 457.30 (that’s important, later ones stutter a bit with SteamVR), but nothing tweaked in the NV Control panel.
If I up the resolution some more, to say 150% to get it even clearer then I still have headroom to stay at a solid 90 FPS with reprojection (the target being 45 in-game).
I do have an i9 at 5.0GHz, so is that the only real difference? I thought you had a decent i7 already, so I’m not sure why we are seeing such different results? Anyway, wanted to say in-case any of this helped anyone.
I think people like to put on lots of MSAA, and I probably could (the GPU isn’t maxed out) but it then starts to hit into my ‘reprojection comfort budget’ when things get busy. That DCS screenshot was in a Hornet Caucaus free-flight mission, and things get worse if in the Channel map or lots of AI etc. AI especially cripples any CPU known to man.
EDIT: Ah, I’m running the VR shaders mod - that’s important, should have said. I basically plopped the first link in from here to the DCS folder and all set.
