As of today MSFS supports foveated rendering

Featured Replies

I have been waiting a lot of years for this. With the OpenXR toolkit and suitable hardware you can now save a ton of GPU by enabling foveated rendering and only generating full resolution pixels where your eyes are actually looking.

Brilliant work by this mod team, shame my HMD won't be able to use this particular feature but the program as a whole has been excellent in vastly improving performance.

I'll download the update and go for a fly later.

foveated rendering has been there in the OpenXR toolkit before, just not with eye tracking, which the majority of  VR headsets does not provide anyway. but a great move anyway, more future deluxe headsets will have it hopefully.

60-130 fps. no CPU overclocking.

very nice.

Quite right - that was a nice stepping stone to the real deal. My guess is that the new Meta Cambria headset will be key in this going mainstream.

I tried the OpenXR toolkit foveated rendering a while back.  Cool idea and I'm glad for those that like it, but my peripheral vision in VR won't allow my brain to tolerate its visual effect.  Obviously I can't stand using motion reprojection for similar reasons.

How much the foveated rendering with eye tracking increases the Varjo Aero performance?

Spit40: may I kindly suggest you re-word your thread, because foveated rendering is not there "as of today" or yesterday, just the eye tracking part is new. And FixedFoveatedRendering is only effective at improving performance when you are being limited by your GPU. FFR will not help if you are limited by your CPU.

I understand what you mean but, equally respectfully, foveated rendering without eye tracking was never really foveated rendering. It’s derived from the word fovea which is a part of the eye. I’ll tweak for more clarity on CPU/GPU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveated_rendering
