So what's the impressions?  Lol

Don't want to watch every video for simple information.  Is it a sizeable improvement over the CL?

I guess it doesn't matter until we have at least RTX 6090, if not 7090. 5090 probably is the bare minimum for Crystal Light in MSFS 2024. I just can't see the benefit of higher pixel numbers since we're now 100% GPU-limited.

after today's MSFS 2024 beta 1.3.7.0 update GPU load has gone down from 99% to some 70% in VR for me.

Wow, that sounds exciting! Do you have get higher fps with same settings? I'm not in the beta but now couldn't wait for this new update.

The OP's video is short. Their complaint is that when you move your head, the image moves with your head. I have a Crystal Light. It does this when the lighting is not even throughout the room space. When I turn on the lights (small desklamps) and shine them on the two side walls, then this does not happen. Lighting is critical. It was not at all critical with my old Reverb G2.

Desklamp on the right shines over on the left wall. Desklamp on the left shines over onto the right wall. Solves the issue.

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

sorry, I may have posted too soon. at least now with DLSS4 I am back to the high 90s % GPU load. but doesn't bother me as long as I'm still getting 45-55 fps @8K in VR.
