Fixed Foveated Rendering in VR - Does it really work?

3 year old video but this information is still intesting

and to compensate for 3 years old new, here some 6 days young news:

For me it does work Great! I am using it now for three or four months and haven't found a need to change my settings since then. I am using it with a G2 via OpenXR Toolkit, the default setting with the wide option.

Really useful to increase performance with the G2 without much visible degradation, I won't fly without.

VR in MSFS is a hard kick in the groin to your GPU that easily brings it to its knees. FFR is simply necessary groin protection that you can't afford not to use...

The FFR implementation in the OpenXR toolkit does just fine with what it says on the tin, but unfortunately that somewhat fuzzed up periphery is very distracting for me.  Glad that some find it useful.

I experienced that with the FFR presets provided, but I find using a custom setting with the inner ring at least 70% eradicates the peripheral fuzziness. If you want to try my custom FFR settings, set Inner Ring Size 70%, Middle Resolution 1/4, Outer Ring Size 100%, Outer Resolution 1/16, Prefer Resolution Veritcal. If you still see blur on the periphery, increase Inner Ring Size until you don't.

I tested FFR with various settings but I dont like the artefact on peripheral. Especially with glass cockpit that I fly most of the time.

Yes, in current GPU benefit is very very small or it isnt here simply but poor quality on edges is very visible even on custom settings. I dont use it.
