older PC issues using oculus quest 2 for VR (settings assistance)

[Chunky monkey UK]

I have tried looking on YT for ideal settings but not much luck, so decided to just drop the graphic setting to low and increase each thing up a notch until I can get it steady around 30fps. Now I have the sea disappearing and F14 plane textures shaking voilently and not even finished tweaking.

does anyone else have very similar to the below settings and also using oculus quest 2? if so, what are your settings.

also on VR is it better to have DCS game settings too low, apart from view distance and textures and increase the pixel density instead in the DCS VR settings?

asus ROG pre-built GT51CH
intel i7 7700k
1x Nvidia GTX 1070 8gb
32gb ram 2400mhz

I set everything high, Then tweak nvidia settings also use the tray tool. So start VR use link cable go to the tool tray app and set PD 1.0 in dcs leave the tool tray open dont close it. I cant remember my settings off the top of my head i tweaked alot also theres a 2 windows 10 settings that helped me to turn off dynamic ticks in windows and theres one other setting.

VR4DCS is a great place also for tips and tricks.

Which is mistake number one. Nobody can tell you the "ideal" settings for your PC, combined with your HMD, and based on your personal preferences. I really don't understand why people seem to believe that there's a shortcut to everything. There isn't. You need to put in your own time and effort, do your own testing, and figure out what works for you on your own.

Use the VR settings already included in DCS as a base. If they work, start tweaking things one at a time to see how high you can go until performance drops. If you want to take it a stage further, you can start messing with pixel density in Oculus Tray Tools, setting it lower to gain performance or higher to gain quality. A stage further again, you can look into a tool called VRPerfKit which enables FSR in VR, which in turn can trade a little quality for a decent performance gain.

The point is, do your own research and your own testing, rather than expecting people to do it all for you.

A final tip would be to ignore what Borat is saying about tweaking your Windows install just to get performance in this sim. Most system tweaks have been debunked as at best placebo, at worse destabilising for your system. Stick to tweaking the sim, not your whole PC.

I've gotten into VR too recently, there is a free program called open fsr which can increase performance. I'm still trying to figure how steam vr resolution, oculus pxiel density and dcs pixel density relate to each other since they impact performance the most. I've learned that you will have to accept some jaggies with this generation of hardware.

Cheers buddy I will check this out :)
