can u link ur Custom Shader patch seettings

Hello Sim Racing Shaolin :), I have a general question. I play racing simulations on my PC with the Quest 3 and have a 4090 graphics card. I'm new to VR :) and I wanted to ask, is it better to turn the resolution up to the maximum (slider) in the Quest menu or is it better to have a slightly lower resolution in the Quest menu and increase the settings in the game like MSAA or Antitropic Filter? Which is more useful or has more positive effects? Many thanks in advance :).

Great Vid, I had worked this all out my self. It took many hours over many days and many youtube tips that were wrong. But you summed it all up in under 9 mins and came to pretty much every conclusion I did. The one thing that threw me with ams 2 was super sampling. In AC I run it a 1.5. But for best results it a 1.0. Thanks for this vid, I've subscribed. Gonna check you're AC in VR next

I have a PSVR (From the Playstation) hooked up to my PC and I run Automobilista 2 with that. The question which I'm been trying to find and answer for is how often do you need to re-centre the VR headset? With the PSVR, I have to do it every lap. Basically, the start/finish line is the point I use to always re-centre. If I don't re-centre, I find that the VR drifts a few degrees per lap. If you didn't re-centre each lap, on a 10 lap race you'd be looking is a totally different orientation when compared to your wheel. So what holds be back from a buying a different VR like the Quest 3 is knowing how much drift there is? Every lap? Only once. Once every 10 laps?

@thesimracingshaolinstudent

You centre it once when you’re in the car and that’s it. One press of a button. Was the same with my valve index too. Not sure why the PSVR drifts but the Quest certainly doesn’t. Go for it 👍🏻🙏

Also, what system are you running? I have a 3070, and I can’t get it to look this good (I’ve turned some things down like the filtering to 4X). I did try it on the new le man track. Maybe it’s worth doing it on an older track to see

I'm also confused why he did that. Higher AF value means better textures at longer distance. Not sure why he had to set it to 16x in control panel, yet lower it in game settings.

Is it fair to say not a big enough improvement over G2 to justify cost if you don't need wireless VR I force ams2 at 45hz. I have to turn too much down to get consistent 90fps even with a 3080 Do U think running at lower fps impacts clarity Lastly does the quest 3 improve clarity in the far distance ie 2 to 3 hundred metres out

I have the G2 but yesterday connected my Q3 to my pc. Performance is much better with the Q3 in all games I tested. Not sure why, maybe WMR it just more demanding, but the difference is huge for me. With the G2 I had to lower resolution to 80% and drop all the gfx to a bare minimum to get 90fps, with the G3 I can run it at native resolution while mostly maxing out the gfx.

Same problem here, ever figure it out?

Your comments about anisotropic filtering were weird, because it can only be done on the GPU to begin with. Games ask the GPU to do it to a certain level, but it's not something that can be taken out of the gpu pipeline and done on the cpu, and then inserted back. Games don't even have different implementations of it, because the filtering is done on a physical piece of hardware, and the hardware has different circuits for 2x 4x, 8x and 16x, this is why we don't see 32x or beyond, it's because it's not physically implemented in any gpu.

For some reason, launching the game from Steam and selecting Oculus does not launch the game in the headset. It only launches in the headset if I choose the Steam VR option..anybody experience this? And I'm using Q3 link cable...Do these 2 options even make a difference?

I tried VR, too, in AC, ACC and AMS2, with AC I get the absolut sharpest image with native 3200 pixel per eye resolution that minimizes the flickering and shimmering very good. For constant 90 fps I deactivated PP-Filter (Pure and the others are very similar) and this was a very high fps boost from 55 up to contant 90 fps without any framedrops. and it looks good, too for me. And 3d trees looked very ugly in VR with high shimmering, I deactivated this, too. I dont like that for AC there are very few tracks that look good, only nuerburgring and some others, but most tracks, especially modded, created tracks look very very old and simple, not realistic. In ACC and AMS2 I only use about 70-80% resolution on my rtx 3090 to get fluid 90 fps, using OpenXr. there i have more shimmering, dont like that, too.
