Hi,

Nvidia.app leaves beta.

New “recommended” mode instead of “latest”. Sorry, I have no more information.

Regards

the latest version got updated to 11.0.6.379

I have enabled "Smooth motion" in the Nvidia app, because that's the equivalent and only alternative to FrameGen in VR mode. For 2D, during flight planning and while in the menues, I have switched from DLSS FrameGen to AMD FSR3 to avoid that ugly magenta/pinkish  flicker that occurs with Smooth Motion and DLSS FrameGen active at the same time. I recommend Smooth Motion to all RTX users, it doubles VR fps with no noticeable artefacts.

I love the DLSS 4.5 SuperResolution component, because as a VR only flyer: DLSS FrameGen does not work in VR, so our only option to increase fps with every in-game settings equal is to adjust and try out the various Model Presets and SuperResolution upscaling (Quality-Balanced-Performance etc). I am happy with DLSS 4.5 because I am not obsessed with the "vertical speed tape decimal values are blurry in glass cockpits above 2.800 ft vertical speed".

I am impressed how good DLSS 4.5 looks and performs in VR considering less than 1/2 number of pixels are rendered by the game (67% resolution in 2D) in QUALITY mode (2.0 million 2D pixel upscaled to 4.5 million pixel to Pimax VR), all the others are "fake pixels" just like FrameGens "fake frames" 🤣.

But in return, we VR users have one advantage: we can always move our head closer to the instrument panel to better see the fine print, a feature 2D mode users usually don't have (unless Toby eye tracker perhaps).

With DLSS upscaling I usually get around 60 fps with a Pimax Crystal Light (vs. 30 fps in FS2020 with HP Reverb at much lower resolution), 60 fps is a fantastic value for VR where everything needs to be rendered twice, (120 fps with in FrameGen 2D).

Hi Turbomax

Can you please explain what kind of VR headset you are using and why?

Thanks

it is in my signature: Pimax Crystal Light. because when I bought it a year ago, Microsoft had dropped support for WMR based headsets (like my previous HP Reverb G2) which was a great headset at its time (but fresnel lenses, not recommended nowadays) I found the Pimax offered the best visual quality at that price. but too heavy by today's standards, no long term comfort, after 1/2 hour it becomes unpleasant, low build quality, sloppy tech. support from what I hear/read. Since Quest Metaverse studio is closing down and let 1.000 go yesterday, it will be only the new Steam Frame VR and/or the new Pimax DreamAir for my next headsets. perhaps 2 different sets, one for wireless gaming (Steam Frame) and the Pimax DreamAir primarily for MSFS. I have Quest here that I haven't even used except for 1 hour trying it out as a mobile cinema, but that's it and I will return it. I am getting usually smooth 55-60 fps in MSFS 2024 using QUALITY mode in MSFS2024 and most settings on HIGH and ULTRA, that has to suffice for my type of mostly twin prop/bizjet flying.

I am not one for promoting IslandSimPilots videos but his latest raises a fair point about why some see blurring and some do not.  I for one was still getting it on my 5090 at 4K, DLSS - DLAA or Quality compared to TAA.  He speaks about reducing the frame time down, the lower it is the less ghosting appears.  Its all based on 1000 (milliseconds) divided by your frame rate so a locked 60 fps would give a frame time of 16.66 ms, locked at 30 gives 33.33 ms resulting in more blurring.  Frame gen and multi frame gen increases the frame time values a little (regardless of a higher frame generated frame rate) so I have started testing the Fenix with frame rates locked at 60 and just running 2x FG.  I previously was locked at 30x4 so was getting 33ms, now just under 20 and the altitude tape is a lot clearer.  Overall image quality is certainly better with DLSS and using DLAA so no upscaling.  I would suggest checking his video out as it seems to help.

The dream air looks lighter and easier to wear, bit pricey though 

will look into it 

Thanks Turbo

Has anybody already tried it in 1080p, with a locked native framerate (let's say, 30 FPS)? I understand the ghosting effect is worse in these conditions I mention. I can test, but not until next week. This weekend I'll be a bit busy for personal reasons.

Tried so. With my conditions and a 5060Ti, I still get ghosting in the PFD. Back to TAA. Too bad, because far background looks amazing with DLSS+DLAA.

As for VR, the top 3 affordable priced  sets are Pimax Crystal Light, Meta Quest 3, and the new Steam Valve. 

That Q3 is the cheapest and is has great passthrough. Which means you can tap the headset and you see all your controllers and keyboard in a hires full color image. Tap again to go back to seeing MSFS

This might help with ghosting:

 

Looks good with quality and preset M

Much better than previous versions but the ghosting  with speed tape on take off and landing is driving me bonkers.

So i went back to TAA because of that.

Same here. Key is to set DLSS not to Performance but Balance or even quality. Currently on Balance my Tapes show minimal tearing which I would be willing to accept but will check quality next. But I indeed saw no ghosting incl tearing on Aircraft edges when in external View. And Performance is still smooth.

Ill have to try balanced.

Once the speed tape is sorted out hopefully on next update.

Ill switch over permanently to dlss.

Its coming along nicely thou.

I'm using preset M, DLSS + DLAA on my 5080 and it's some of the best image quality I've had in MSFS. I had a lot of shimmering using TAA, no shimmering at all with this combo. 

Hi,

It seems that there's a DlSS 4.5 update, DLSS 4.5.2.

Greetings

 

 

New update DLSS 310.5.2

The main change is the correct operation of automatic preset selection when using the "Always use latest" flag via NVIDIA Profile Inspector or the official app NVIDIA App

DLSS accurately detects and applies the appropriate presets for various scenarios: from modes Performance и Ultra Performance to Balanced, Quality и DLAAThis eliminates the need to manually select profiles for each mode, entrusting this task to the driver's automation.
