This is fantastic, thanks so much. I saw openXR in iRacing and had no idea what it was. It didn't work, so went openVR. After seeing this, I installed the toolkit, and am now running in openXR. Even without the performance config changes, it feels smoother and more responsive on my G2 since it's not going through steamVR. Thanks!

Wow the DLSS in my game was enabled on my game because the other youtubers set up guide didn't explain that part. Thank you my friend, solid and very informative video!!

I really wish I'd seen this video when I began using my G2 a month ago. Hell, even yesterday when I finally moved to OpenXR after reading some other things. Nicely done, and I'll be sure to refer others to this vid in the future.

This helped me so much .my pc is feeling its age a bit now and those was a huge boost thank you!

Very cool, thanks! I'll make sure to check back once my G2 gets here. For now, I'm sticking with the Quest 2.

Wow, this video is the best guide ever. I honestly got overwhelmed by the many terms and extra programs.

This. Is. Genius. You may want to retitle it as "OpenXR for Dummies." I´m new to VR (had an original Quest for about a month, was really impressed but not satisfied, so sold it during the pandemic when I could still get top dollar, now with Quest 3), and have gone absolutely cross-eyed trying to make sense of the other videos I came across about OpenXR. Reading the docs about it made me want to quit VR entirely and take up knitting or something. Your video, especially the first half, was EXACTLY what I had been hoping for! I found your page by stumbling across your livestream from earlier this month. I got thru the first hour of that, thinking how much I was going to enjoy your editing it down to a tutorial, and then found this vid. You laid it out so clearly without bogging down with unnecessary details that are self-explanatory (typical KZread video spends SO much time on minutia, then completely glosses over the esoteric parts!). I watched the first half once, then downloaded the apps described, made the changes you mentioned, and went right into IL2 Battle of Stalingrad without a glitch. Then I watched the demo part to figure out how to use the Toolbox. That will have to wait till tomorrow because it´s late now, but I am psyched to put this to use. Already in the first pass with OpenXR there was a major improvement in performance -- looking forward to serious tweaking. Thank you so much for such a clear explanation about how to actually get these apps set up and running!

This is a great instructional, very much appreciated. I've seen another similar instance of an altered dll and config file that attempts to utilize FSR or CAS for VR and some non-VR games as well, but it's much more difficult to configure since any edits must be done in the config file with the game closed. Either way, Open Composite and the OpenXR toolkit are far better developed tools for doing this and I'm glad I found this video. Thanks for your hard work!

I know what you mean. Balancing all the software, trying to get good performance and visual quality is a challenge. Sure if you only play one or two games, it's doable and requires few compromises. But when you mix SteamVR-games with standalone games and OpenXR games, it gets confusing to know what to focus on. Look at this chain of software to optimize (for HP G2 headset): Windows itself, Mixed Reality Portal, WMR for SteamVR, SteamVR, OpenXR Toolkit, OpenComposite, OpenXR Runtime and Nvidia/AMD driver tweaks. On top of all that you need to optimize the games according to your hardware. It's a troubleshooting nightmare. You also have to know the game engines and their characteristics. Say for example DCS, an old engine, CPU bound, best running on a single CPU core. More modern titles use multi-core CPU and can be GPU bound. My basic rule is to run everything as vanilla as possible, with as few components as possible. Otherwise you risk ending up in a maze that can be hard to get out of. Don't ask how I know :)

Amazing video bro 🎉

Apprecaiate this video, iRacing is running much better for me now with OpenXR versus Oculus mode!

Solid video. Was able to follow it and it worked on the first try. First game I played was Dirt Rally 2. I did have the game running OK via Steam VR but bypassing it and using the tools enabled me to get it to run better and actually see what the changes were doing as far as the CPU and GPU in real time.

Note: Setup step 1 (5:09) - OpenXR Tools for WMR is for WMR headsets e.g. Reverb G2 and is not required for none WMR headsets. To launch games with OpenXR once you've installed OpenXR Toolkit and OpenComposite go to your Steam library and launch the game in Steam VR mode For technical help on the OpenXR Toolkit or OpenComposite check out the two Discords below. OpenComposite Discord discord.gg/zYA6Tzs OpenXRToolkit Discord discord.gg/WXFshwMnke AMD GPU owners note that foveated rendering only works for DX12 games. Overall I had the best experience on the Reverb G2 and had some ocassional crashes on the Quest 2 in ACC, so I tested an unreleased build direct from the dev to capture the Quest 2 footage. Hopefully the Quest 2 fix for ACC will come to a future release of the OpenXR Toolkit and OpenComposite in the very near future. Thanks for watching!

I don't know if you messed around with your control panel for your Nvidia card but I would recommend setting one profile for each of the games and turn off any of the control panel features. Make sure they're off or Auto for everything you can also set the graphics to Quality and keep the trilinear optimization on which helps with the FSR or NIS settings for eliminating issues with some artifacting on distant objects. Make sure that if you have any smoothing in the game turn it to zero if you're using VR this will also greatly improve your GPU CPU bottleneck.

The 4090 was a good upgrade for vr gamer but this tool is a HUGH STEP FORWARD ! specialy in ACC. Now i play WITHOUT DLSS +KTAA + most settings on EPIC (vegetaion and postprocessing [depth of field / motion blur] are on LOW), have a much clearer view in the G2 and stable 90 fps. The new, better mirror view is a massiv immersion plus. That forward circle and upscaling stuff is not necessary. ACC and XRtoolkit run`s smooth without that options on a i9 12900k / 32 GB DDR5 and the 4090! My appGPU "score" is most 6,1 ms. CPU bound is 0.5 IF it`s showing. VRAM use is most 11 GB. Thank u a lot HAM !!!

Thanks for your video. Iam poor person and have just an Lenovo WMR and it fix a lot for me. 🤝👍

TLDR: I used openxr with quest 3 to tackle performance issues in an outdated machine, and found performance, but had to stick with oculus software for better smoothness I see that your video became quite a reference to sim racers - which is not surprising since your content is great :D - so I'd thought I'd live my 2 cents in the comments for anyone who may be making their research: My pc at this point is somehwat outdated (i9-9900k - 3.6ghz overclocked at 4.5hz -, 32gb ddr4 3200mhz ram, geforce 2080 super), and even with the rift S it ~struggles~. Thus, I wasn't planning on upgrading the headset, but the Quest 3 was just too good of a value for money not to try. After playing around a lot with openxr I found improvements with foveated rendering/upscaling, turbo mode as well, but sadly my machine just can't keep up; even with good and stable framerates I couldn't get rid of stuttering. Even with unusable low settings and tons of headroom there was noticeable stutter ;( So sticking with the oculus software for iracing and ACC was the only solution; with the link cable, it runs in similar settings to the rift s (although at 72hz), and even with the increased latency (around 50ms) it's as smooth as the rift s - and obviously it looks miles better. I'm really surprised with how well link cable performs; it's a bit of a bummer that no true comparable PCVR headset is available at a closer price point, but Zuck got me checkmated there. Probably with a slightly better cpu/gpu I could have kept the gains made with openxr in sim racing, and the stutter shouldn't noticeable in slower games :D

Thank You. You are my master! This is the best what we can have for PCVR. Here is my short story about what can do good developers and software over great hardware specification. Hope this help for newbies. I bought Pico 4 and i'm very disapointed. I'm using Quest 2 from one month for PCVR with USB3 cable (ACC, DR2, etc.). I spent a lot of time to find out the best configuration (FPS and Quality) and luckily i found this video! 🙂. Now a lot of YT and internet hype for Pico 4 with Virtual Desktop (aka game changer and so on..) It's a bullshit for me. I've bought Pico 4 few days ago for better FOV, resolution and overall "image quality". Tested everything (WiFi6, USB-C etehernet card, USB3 cable, Streaming Assistant and Virtual Desktop (Godlike on my RTX 4090). Sorry, there is no way to have even close what i have on Quest 2 with OpenXR Toolkit and Open Composite with USB3 cable (I mean FPS and overall image quality not FOV of course). Now I will return my Pico 4, stay with Quest 2 and in the time where I wait for Quest 3 I will try HP Reverb G2 V2 because have also better spec then Q2 but can work same straight way like Q2 (OXRT, OC) without this sh**ty heavy SteamVR which Pico 4 use. Try your configuratiion with Virtual Desktop instead Streaming Assistant and You will see much better quality and performance, yes it's true. But again, for me even VD it's not to close what i've got from OXRT and OC. I wanted to have the same quality and performance on Pico 4, and even better due to the spec, but it's not possible until Pico 4 will not fully natively supports/uses Open XR.

@@HamVR thanks for the info.

We often use the term "game changer" wrongly. But going from steamVR to OpenXR is more than a game changer, it's downright another world. On Assetto Corsa, GPU performance more than doubles, latency becomes tiny (constant 6ms compared to 17 to 19ms before), which not only allows the graphics to really be pushed to the maximum (with real shadows in 2048*2048 for example) but also to have MUCH more cars (AI) in a race, without ever saturating the graphics card (if it is still powerful at the base), all with 90 FPS constant without the slightest drop. With my 12700KF / 4070Ti / 32GB DDR5 5200 / NVMe 2.0 SSD, after setting the CAS to 70% (and with the magic "turbo" button), I never exceed 80% GPU occupancy, 6ms total latency (CPU + GPU, not just one or the other but both added together!). The new problem becomes the capacity of the CPU to handle all this, when we put more than 30 or 40 cars on it. Although I am still doing very well on Battenbergring with 47 opponents! And it's absolutely magnificent in my HP G2 which is finally used to its true value. OpenXR with Open composite is a real revolution for those who until now used that awful SteamVR.

But I have no explanation for ACC, a game that I bought when it came out and on which I only have 14.6 hours of play (steam tells me), last time was several years ago. Compared to 1700h on Assetto Corsa...

Thanks ham very helpful Just setup open be and composite with quest 2 Just a question.. how do the openxr resolution settjngs and quest 2 resolution multipliers effect each other ? Don’t want to over sample. Is one overridden or does openxr resolutionsetting effect you frame generation while the oculus multiplier enhance that frame at the headset level? Just not understanding that part. Thanks!

great video thanks I could ask you if you have varjo and would you make a video of iracing and ACC settings and I ask you if varjo works well with openXR and open composit and toolkit? thank you for your time

I would find I would get cpu bound warning if I set a fps limit to tight some where either in game, driver software or riva tuner. ie. My 90hz g2 I would need to set at 95fps to allow breathing room and not be bound

Just bought a 7900xt and the current drivers are pants in steam vr. Was pesamistic about this software. But holy cow this literally made acc smooth as butter even with no upscaling. Thanks @hamvr . Game changing i am now racing in 4k. Legend .

Thx fpr this Video. Helped me a lot, but whats with openxr for Windows Mixed Reality? i have wmr headset, but how to open it? ive downloadet it from Microsoft store, but cant open it from pc. do i have to open it evrey time from store? or do i only need to download it? And what settings do you have for it?

So I am confused about a few things. In toolkit what function does the Override Resolution setting have that isn't already handled by the NIS/FSR/CAS setting? In the github pages and other forums it explains that setting the slider in OpenXR for WMR is what renders the game resolution before it is sent to the headset. From there inside toolkit companion you can decide to take that render scale and up or down scale it using either NIS/FSR/CAS or Override Resolution. I don't understand which one should be used and why there are essentially duplicate resolution adjustments. Plus there are redundant settings within each game settings as well. Very confusing

Thanks for this great helpfully video......following all the steps, but can't seems to get it to show in my Quest 2

@@HamVR I've tried with AMS2/ ACC and AC with nothing showing. I managed to get it to work with DCS & rF2. when i open OpenXr toolkit its only showing DCS/ FS2020 & rFactor 2. could this be a possible cause?

I've used opencomposite for OpenXR and in fact you gain some fps, but you can also notice that the image quality is worst and with some additional artifacts. Even when you shake you head, you can see that the image warps a bit. An example is when you look at a vertical pole, it deforms when you move your head. I have a G2 and tried this on ACC. Turned back to OpenVR.

thanks for this info

Hi @Ham any chance this will get an updated version? I would like a 120HZ vs 90Hz comparison and settings on ACC 1.9.

Ever since I switched AC (not ACC) forgets my binds and I have to re setup my controls everyvtime I want to play. It runs SO much better though :(

Thanks for the video. This has genuinely transformed ACC for me. Before I found it unusable with my 3080 driving a Quest 2 over link. Question for you… have you run AMS2 with OpenXR Toolkit on the Quest 2? I can’t get this to work, despite ACC working fine. An admin on the Race Department forum says this combo doesn’t work. Is that accurate? Much appreciated for the effort of the video and would be incredibly grateful if you find the time to respond.

That is correct or it atleast it use to be. AMS2 has something built into the code that forces it to run in Oculus mode which means Open Composite and OpemXR Toolkit can never run. Looking on the OpenXR Toolkit Discord (which I recommend you join) someone says they managed to get AMS2 working with Occulukiller from git hub which stops Oculus mode starting up.

Hello, I do think this is a very good tutorial and explanation for OpenXR. But when I try to open the OpenComposite.exe (the switcher), it says Windows is protecting my PC because it doesn't recognize something when I try to start it. Do I ignore it or do I not launch it at all?

Hello, there is something I don't understand. I run dr2 on a 1080ti/htc vive1 The game is OK at normal resolution in steamvr (cmaa I believe) but the image is a bit blurry. If I put msaa (dr2 supersampling I guess) the game is sharp but too slow. If I run the upscaler to get perf back It would make sense only if the supersampling is on. Should I let msaa on in dr2 or should I specify a higher resolution in openxr?

I have a htc vive pro 2 and set up my first very entry level sim set up running on RTX 4080 32GB . Do these settings apply to my rig as well.i know from watching other game play and my system specs that mine should run a lot better than it is now
