Headset optimization tip to rule them all...

Just ask Copilot (Microsoft AI) to give you the best setting for your hardware and headset.😉  You have to be specific as to which sim you're using.  My headset has never been as fluid as it is now, absolutely amazing.

64 fps with Pimax Crystal, old RTX 4090  and NVidia SmoothMotion without checking with AI. I think AI has read and included my various posts re. SmoothMotion in this forum.😀

AI actually looks specifically at what you have and spits out OpenXR/In sim settings based on that.  It's amazing, it's takes into account individual hardware and setups.  Hadn't really understood the power of until this experience.  So moving forward once a headset has had some time on the market (maybe even before then) you can save yourself the headache of constant tweaking.  Simply use AI to give you the best settings for the hardware you have.💯

I did up the settings on trees and buildings which had no affect on performance...😜 AI gives an amazing baseline.

This picture looks like it is showing FPS in VR...is that true? I know I asked you in another post, and you said no (and not possible), but this picture is definitely showing the camera menu in VR...

This may be of no use, but OpenXR Toolkit can show fps readout in VR. I set OpenXR Toolkit to do absolutely nothing at all except to show the fps number in a tiny readout, which I can turn on or off with a single hotkey press on the keyboard.

yes, Pimax Crystal Light VR, Smooth Motion Preset M. but it gets worse:😀 90 fps, but that was on my lower resolution HP Reverb G2, before Smooth Motion, a year ago:

my favorite is night flights in total IFR conditions at 80 fps Pimax Crystal Light 😁

but to be honest, on average I am getting usually 45-60 fps in the Pimax Crystal during daylight.

sometimes going up to 70 fps, depending on scenery complexity etc:

"you said no (64 fps and not possible), "

yes, that was before I discovered Smooth Motion in the latest NVidia App 4.5, even though Smooth Motion has been available already since last spring. I just didn't think NVidia App was any good from my earlier experience, but NV App 4.5 has changed all that for me. with your 5090 you should be getting even 5 % more. 😁

and with the latest Auto FPS together with GPU-Z you shouldn't get that immediate VRAM crash anymore, as per that Github developer link I had posted earlier.

Well, what I posted is "and you said no (and not possible)". What I mean by this, is that you previously said "By design, the NVIDIA app overlay (Alt+Z) and its performance metrics (Alt+R) do not appear inside a VR headset; they are rendered on the standard 2D desktop monitor.".

What I'm really trying to find out, is how can I show FPS in VR as you have shown in your screen shot above.

as I have posted earlier: the flight was in VR, but the screenshot was taken on my 2D monitor, where the NVidia statistics do appear normally. you can do it! to display these values within your headset you'd need separate utilities ...

Out of interest I thought I'd give this a go and it immediately get's my HMD confused even though it states it's correct, it gives settings that simply don't exist. Then it goes on to give AMD settings and some of them don't exist in the software either, that's no good.

I did change a couple of driver settings "just to see" but generally ignored everything Co-Pilot spat out (Medium Glass Cockpit is a massive no go!), I've got decades of tweaking experience so I know what I'm doing generally and the one main thing AI can't advise is personal taste of course.

So yeah it's a nice idea for a newbie or even an experienced user who questions certain settings, but certainly not something I'll look to use personally.

@AJZip2 I'll get the right thread this time! I actually got it wrong regarding my HMD settings they do exist after all so I'll give that a go, as for AMD the Shader Cache setting (and one other I forget) doesn't exist in the Adrenalin software so Co-Pilot got that wrong.

If you mean Shader Cache resetting, it does exist in Adrenalin software. You will find it in Games/Graphics and then at the far bortom.

no that's not it, Co-Pilot was saying a certain Setting for that I forget what.
