IS VR FINALLY UNLEASHED? - RTX 4090 TESTED for VR Sim Racing & Flight!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- It's been my opinion for a while now that VR was "almost but not quite there" when it comes to Sim Racing and Flight Sims. While there are some absolutely awesome headsets out there that are capable of insane clarity, in my opinion the PC hardware to actually take advantage of it wasn't quite there yet.
That is until the RTX 4090 came along. So today we're taking a look at exactly what the RTX 4090 brings to the table in terms of performance with a range of high end VR Headsets including the HP Reverb G2, Varjo Aero, Pimax 5K Super and Pimax 8KX to see exactly what's now possible!
TEST PC SPECS:
ROG Strix RTX 4090 OC (Stock Clocks - Power Limit raised to 120%)
12900K (Stock Clocks)
ASUS Z690 Maximus Code
64GB DDR5
Tested Titles:
Assetto Corsa Competizione
Assetto Corsa
iRacing

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING VARJO AERO: There is currently a known bug that is causing stuttering on the Varjo Aero on the 4090. The Varjo team are aware of this and are working on a fix. Interestingly, we did not experience the issue during our testing while filming, however I was able to reproduce the issue later.
Stay tuned to the Varjo Discord channel for the latest updates regarding this.
Thanks for the awesome video!! Always appreciate the work you put in. You mentioned thinking about methodology - not sure if you've seen Ham VR's approach which used a feature of FPS VR which looked at GPU usage and frame times. It was also really useful! All the best.
Not only Varjo. My HTC Vive Pro 2 also stuttering a lot, and have visual and tracking bugs! And Reverb G2 users also complain. My 4090 in the box and I'm on old 3090. 4090 unplayable.
I don't know what you testing, how and why... All your graphs in orange... It should by ONLY GREEN for serios simracing.
Hi interested to know how you did not experience it? Do you have a work around?
@@MM00111 i've had similar issues with my 8kx
Hello Mr. Boosted media, I love your videos, I am here in Prescott Arizona in the states. I have my new cockpit and the triple monitors and stuff is on the way. I want something that has better feed back in the wheel and better pedals but don't want to be overwhelmed with tinkering to get it right or figure it out. I was leaning towards the Logitech Pro but thought I would reach out to you for a recommendation. Anyways thank you for your helpful videos.
It feels like we've always been just on the cusp of being able to take "full advantage" of vr fidelity. For like the past 7 years.
Try automobilista 2
The problem is we dont know what taking "full advantage" of vr fidelity is. When we close in on our goal we begin to be able to see where we can do things differently for a better experience, and the goal posts are moved farther back again.
@@blakes8901 ur right
Screen and game design technology always seems to be ahead of graphics card technology
Have you got the setting for the pimax 8kx for the Sims.
Will, I just have to say, with Barry's content dropping off a cliff with his new business model, you are the next goto for me. I watched the quality of your reviews grow and grow; now you have a fantastic process, delivery of information and thoroughness that is starting to reach that of SRG in many ways. This also goes with the rest of your content too, of course. Congratulations mate - the hard work and effort you put into this channel is shining through and appears to be paying off - at least from an end-consumer standpoint. I wish you all the best going forward.
Great stuff.
Thanks a lot mate. That’s very kind of you to say.
For the record, I’ve never seen it as a competition with Barry or any other content creator. There is room for all of us and we all bring our own unique perspective and value.

You are an absolute Legend! Thank you so much for your hard work. Super useful overview.
I really like you doing videos on VR for sim racing! I would like to see more! Your about to be my number 1 sim racing RUclipsr especially with these VR videos!!!
Nice work! Looking forward to checking out your headset reviews.
Great video. Thanks so much. Excited for Varjo to fix the 4090 stuttering issue so I can enjoy it!
Great video!! We all wanted this since the 4090 came out and YOU are number one right now!!
Yeah I didn't find another video about VR and the beast 4090 so far. :)
Really appreciate that you covered the original Assetto Corsa, Will. I think a lot of people try to set supersampling (SS) to 1.7 even on the HP G2 though, so maybe it's not 100% there yet?
@Boosted Media Just a tip that I recently found out but in the Nvidia Configuration Panel, in the Desktop Size and Position submenu you should turn off scaling. This will greatly enhance latency and image quality of both VR and normal monitor use in and out of games. 😉
The 4090 give me that level of immersion i expexted from the 3090. In my case (HP Reverb G2 / 100% Screenresolution/ 3200×3100) i get stable 90 Frames in ACC on EPIC settings on most points with DLSS (!!!) . Only mirror, mirror resolution and foliage is down to MED settings, mirror view distance is on 120 meters and thats it. 24 players multyplayer smooth as i want it and clearity of the picture is a lot better. No ghosting, no stuttering, no fragments - im very happy with the new generation and i think its worth the money !
Awesome to hear! I had a rift S when the 3090 came out and was so happy that the GPU could max the headsets then like a week later the g2 and quest 2 dropped with so much higher resolution that the 3090 couldn’t handle it. I hope a new headset doesn’t drop that tanks the performance again this gen…
DLSS sucks though in VR in my experience with G2. Its just fuzzy in a way that you dont get on a monitor.
@@employeeofthemonth1 With 3090 / i9 9900 / ddr 4 ram i have the same issue. But now , with i9 12900 / ddr 5 ram and the 4090 : NO GHOSTING, NO FRAGMENTS - NOTHING. DLSS works absolutly perfect for me. If there are fragments, i didnt notice while im on track....
@@employeeofthemonth1 I was about to say the same... Unfortunately DLSS on VR messes a lot the image! 😐
@@employeeofthemonth1 Dlss on VR is is only good when running at an already very high resolution, then it works great as an anti aliasing solution, at lower resolution, it definitely makes things to blurry.
Great, in depth video Will. 👌
been waiting for this video
Haven't even watched yet, but so excited for this. My 3070 is struggling when running things like crowds/grandstands in iracing with a bigger field of cars, and while not 100% necessary, it'd be nice to get the full experience without having to worry about setup/tweaking. Thank you for all this and all the content!
I've also got a 3070, starting to hit it's Vram limit on some pancake games and always have to make to many sacrifices with graphics settings in VR.
It's a shame it really needed at 8GB of Vram, but even that isn't, still it doesn't really have enough horsepower for SIM games, where immersion is everything in my opinion.
@@00Clive00 yea my 3070 struggles a lot in MSFS in VR. It is playable, but having to use DLSS makes a lot of the text in the cockpit unreadable. Thats on an Index. If I turn DLSS off...horror ensues.
I fixed my 3070 problem, I've running a 4090 for the last 6 months, MSFS will still make it sweat!
Thanks for the review, was waiting on someone to compare the 4090 with some high end VR headsets.
Great review guys (as always)… I am happy to sit on the sidelines with VR for a little longer but from this review I can see we are really so close to VR becoming a proper (and reasonably priced) reality!
I don't think waiting should be the take-away here. VR is so immersive even at lower graphics settings on headsets with lower resolution. Resolution scaling is literally icing on the cake and certainly shouldn't be the deal breaker. The experience is and has been amazing even back with a oculus CV1 and a gtx770 4gb which was technically below spec. I have a gtx1080ti and a 4770k 16gb now and you can absolutely run asetto Corsa on a pimax 5k at full frame rate at 1.0 resolution scaling. Whilst also running a full motion SIM rig software.
You absolutely don't need a card as powerful as this one to be actually in the car. And you don't need to be on ultra graphics settings.
The diminishing returns on trying to achieve max settings on super high resolution headsets in the latest games is striving for perfection but forgets that having stereoscopic vision in a headset that puts you actually in the car is already 1000x better than looking at a 3 screen setup.
Cheaper headsets like quest 2 and Pico 4 and reverb G2(on sale) will absolutely get you an amazing experience at a far more reasonable price at resolutions that are acceptable and easier to achieve with older hardware.
I think the conclusions in this video are all wrong (sean Connery red October voice) if 'you should wait' is the take-away.
Honestly for a cheap secondhand Oculus Rift S it is worth the money to at least introduce yourself to VR. It has great bang for buck value and I would be surprised if you weren't happy with it.
I am running one on a gtx1070 and most sims play brilliant. ACC is trickier to dial in but the experience you get from VR is unmatched.
I feel the same. The different perspective isn't enough to "trick" my brain into liking the lower quality image. lower than my eyes are already so used to now on a tv or monitor anyways.
All fair responses guys, thanks! To give more context to my point of view I have never tried any form of VR to date.. When reviewers talk of motion sickness/eye strain and headaches it turns me off due to suffering from quite bad headaches/migraines anyway.
It does feel that VR is starting to hit that sweet spot between clarity and FPS that (like it has been said) tricks the brain and the strain on the eyes/brain diminishes… at an affordable price.
I am very keen to get into VR for Sim Racing but can’t justify the leap financially until it takes that next step tech and price wise.
@@Major_Watts Motion sickness can be a real problem. If you're the kind of person that gets motion sick when trying to read as a passenger in a car, or when traveling on a boat then it might be a problem for you, at least initially.
Caused by the disconnect between what you see and your vestibular system (what your balance in your ears) tells you is happening. VR motion sickness is sort of the opposite thing. Visually it looks like you are moving, and your ears say you aren't.
As with anything it's something you can train to overcome. But should not try and 'push through' if you start to feel it happening. For some people it isn't a problem at all and they wonder what you are even talking about!
I actually find that sim racing is one of those VR experiences that doesn't give me motion sickness. For me certain planes of motion like acceleration in the yaw plane can be a problem (like when I'm playing a kayak game). The thing about car games is that there is usually a fairly static cockpit around you, and that can help and the motion feels more like something you are in control of through a wheel.
High frame rate certainly helps, because when you get disconnect between head movement and what you see on a screen that covers your field of vision, you are back to traditional motion sickness again! Disconnect between what your eyes see and your ears tell you.
As far as eye strain is concerned, I haven't had that. I'm long sighted and normally wear glasses. As current headsets are set to focus near infinity, I find I don't even need to wear my glasses in the headset.
Love a massive upgrade between generations, after so many years of minor bumps on the CPU and platform holding things back it finally feels exciting again to be a PC enthusiast.
I must say, that is one amazing pc rig right there. Looks like a throne for that 4090 which it rightfully deserves! 😆
You can get the same performance without all that fancy stuff.
Thanks man, this video is exactly what I need
I want to see you run some races with the best of them in ACC. Great info and teaching as usual. Rock on!
Awesome stuff, Will, and much appreciated. I'm not in the market for a 4090, but I only race in VR so It's nice to see that hardware is finally getting to the point where we can really push the settings if we have pockets deep enough.
imagine how good the 5090 will be 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Once going to VR… I just can’t do pancake and that goes for all gaming honestly
@@prancer1803 pancake?
@@prancer1803 Good luck in competitive shooters.
Great video as usual! Confirmed what I was expecting, 4090 is finally getting the performance people want out of the high res headsets. Will upgrade when I can actually buy one :(
No, I don't think I will
@@cjd82187gpu still not ready for vr. needs more power, which is absurd at this point
Finally some good look into the real fps in vr with the big hardware. Thanks!
great video, thank you Will 👌👊
Valuable video! Thanks very much.
I'm impressed you got your wheel to work with Dirt Rally 2!
So excited for this!
Great to hear your experience and thoughts with a 4090 on top end PC VR headsets.
thanks for the VR specific testing.
I think I'm sticking to a 3070ti for now, but more detail on DR2.0 is a bit tempting.
maybe hold out 'til the inevitable post-Christmas sales.
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive test..I also really appreciate that you tested Microsoft Flight Sim too. In regards to foverated rendering, is this supported in your race sim titles? Since it only works if the app supports it. Thanks again, I'm looking forward to testing this beast on my channel soon!
Would also like to know this, as to my knowledge foveated rendering is largely unadopted at this time
@@simplewolf5946 I guess he does not wish to answer my question 😅
So I've been in vr for 3 years racing. Now sorted a triple screen setup. Absolutely love it and so much easier when mates are over for a fun competition. Problem I had was when I started racing on the triples I seriously struggled with the flat screens for almost 2 weeks and thought I made a mistakes. Iracing is amazing in vr but always struggled for good image and performance in ACC (5900x and 3090 on valve index) so triples are really for ACC. But now that I'm used to it I'm scared to jump back in to vr for racing worried that I'll lose that immersion and judging corners in 2d.
Vr is just so bloody realistic.
You shouldn't lose that capability so long as you still utilize both. I do road racing on triples because they're typically enduros and I need the long use comfort, but use VR for Dirt Rally and Rallycross in iRacing. I can comfortably switch back and forth between the two. It just takes using both setups regularly to stay used to them both.
@@BrettWidner oh man thanks for that. I haven't even started VR since the triples haha. I'll give it a go this weekend for an hour or so and then later jump back to triples. Hope that works for me but considering others do it if I can't I must be disabled. Hahaha thanks
Thank you for the great review. Thats what I was looking for. According to fpsVR you are running all games at 150% scaling. With the Fixed Foveated Rendering mods for the G2 you should get superb image quality.
BM: "Obviously, not everybody is going to upgrade from a 3090 to a 4090."
Me, who just recently upgraded from a 750 TI to a 3050: ":o|"
For MSFS I’m wondering if the tests were done using DX12. I think if not that might perform better at this point and very likely to be better with the big MSFS update coming next month
With iRacing i've found it's simply a matter of turning off dynamic shadow maps and then you're able to have everything else set on high and anti aliasing set to 4x without any framerate dips even at the start of the race.
Finally VR and 4090!! Reviews
I always minimize the resolution of the window of the game that is also running in my headset, it gives you some performance boost since i guess the gpu doesn't need to process as much details on that window that's not being really used by anything other then spectating for anyone that's not playing
Bro. Second time watching this video and I’m telling you I can’t keep my eyes or that baby beast or a pc!!
Great review of the new 4090 with VR! My comment for those shying away from VR because you feel you need a 4090 or 3090 to even start playing.. I run a 2060 super with a quest 2 and with some minor tweaking of graphics settings in Iracing I can run stable frames and the game looks fine, you do not need to spend $4k on graphics to have fun. The higher refresh rate the more you sacrifice.. but it is a total game changer from monitors. Can never go back to a monitor now!
Good informational vid, Just would of liked it to be a bit more clear on the exact headset you was running in the game captures as all these headsets specs are completely different.. i get complete different results between my G2 and Varjo, also I find if the headset is not completely locked at 90 then the experience is not good, its not like monitors where you can fluctuate between 10 +/- fps and its not noticeable.
Very interesting, In IRacing I'm seeing a large increase in frames from 3090 to 4090 although I'm on a 5900x system
super useful, thanks. I would definitely upgrade if my case could fit the 4090
A good review but I would definitely have been interested what the exact delta between the 3090 and the 4090 is. I have heard mixed results that the actual stable FPS increases are rather low.
What's the name of the last track you've driven in this video? Flow looks so nice :)
As always, thanks for the insights on the 4090!
I managed to get a 4090 yesterday here in the UK! Stock had been basically non existent since launch but I got lucky refreshing a website shop. Upgraded from a 2080TI to the gigabyte OC 4090 and wow what a difference! Use a Quest 2 with the fibre optic link cable and so far I can max out the resolution slider but only at 90hz then in game on ACC/AC and iRacing I can max out graphical settings. A weird bug with oculus desktop app since installing the 4090 it now warns me my PC specifications are not powerful enough 😂. Might be the reason why if I try to set it at 120hz the image in the headset bugs out with flashing and bad lag. Other than that if you are upgrading like me from an older card, it’s an amazing experience! Overpriced of course but oh well lol.
Great vid .. just started getting into VR on the racing side and must say its a game changer .. im running a 3090 so can get decent performance and for me i think thats all i need .. the immersion is something else .. dont think i can go back to flat panel racing.
That’s what I thought. I went back to my 49” ultra wide recently. Resolution just isn’t there yet for me in VR
@@beemrmem3 What resolution is your TV? What resolution per eye do you think will be there for you? What VR headset did you go away from? I mean Valve Index has very minimal resolution for example.
Too bad you just found out vr. I found out back in 2018 and im so loving it
@@ji3200 My rig back in 2018 had all the power of a mouldy potato so likely wouldnt have had great VR performance .. but i must say now its a game changer!
@@beemrmem3 have you try Reverb G2? Its ultra sharp resolution and very comfortable to wear
Superb review, stick with my 3080 for a little while longer as I only use iracing and it’s pretty darn good already, I hoped it would be max settings on everything and get 144hz in vr….. not struggling to get 80.
Thank you for including MSFS!
No problem!
Sick!
I might skip this generation as it’s tough chasing full VR ‘unleashment’ with each generation falling short. I’ll wait to see what the 4090ti can do. Thanks for the review many of us were waiting for. VR is moving beyond just being niche now.
It's not though. Standalone VR is already getting to almost "good enough." You don't have to have the highest settings and latest hardware to have a good PCVR experience, either. I am still running an original Rift with a 2080Super and it's still immersive as hell at times, even if there's way better tech out now.
Waiting for the 5080 before upgrading from a 3080
Just tried Project Cars 2 maxed out on my Reverb G2 with 4090... Holy shit. This is coming from a 3080. Never had a more immersive VR experience in my life... game changer.
Wow it finally looks like ACC is finally playable in VR. Great video mate
I think it's even better than he says. I'm getting a solid butter smooth 90fps on VR High settings. I think he was using a mix of High and Epic. I never use Epic for anything.
Question: Why Do you have on all tests SteamVR res set to 150%?
How are you doing? The seamless monitor lines? Are you using the little glass refractor that they have you buy to put between the two and since it's far enough away it makes sense? Or did you find a better solution? I just literally cut the end of the TV off and made a arcing bracket that would jump from the plastic from one TV to the other behind it and then it was on the same grade or arc that the rest of the screens were and boom there you go that's to edge. Want to know how you do it
Damn I wasn't sure if I wanted to upgrade from my 3090 but, after watching this video and seeing the vr performance uplift I'm rethinking my previous plans.
like he said in the vid, wait until the ti comes out. i have a 3090ti currently and im just looking into getting a vr headset. i wont be playing sims w it though. i wanna get the new walking dead game and resident evil etc. what perf do you get in those games and also do you have to make any sacrifices?what type of performance should i expect to get fps wise as well as will i be able to do high settings? if i cant i myself will just wait until next gen no biggie.
Keen to hear what the sweet spot in terms of headsets is now? I’m starting a 13th gen i9, 4090 build this week (currently run a Rift CV1 on 2080Ti and 4th gen (!) i7) and am looking for a headset upgrade for sim racing only…
Hi Will, thanks so much for all the bench marks. I’m still watching as I write this, so may add more after this, but before I forget, how on earth did you get your GPU utilising more than 8GB of VRAM on iRacing? I’ve been so frustrated with the limit they’ve still got in the game, because it greatly limits my ability to properly utilise my 3090 via supersampling my 8KX, and I suspect this frustration will be even worse with a 4090, since I’m literally already maxed out on 3090. So when I saw your benchmark tool reading well over 8GB VRAM usage, I was just wondering if you knew something I didn’t? A trick maybe to get around the limit? Or maybe the GPU isn’t actually using all the VRAM on iracing? Iracing is my main sim I play, so it would be a game changer if I could get around that limit.
Otherwise, great video thanks mate! You actually benchmarked every game that I also personally benchmarked back when I first got my 3090 (except F1 22), so good work on the sim choices! Anyway, regardless of VRAM iracing limit, I still can’t wait to upgrade in the near future, especially for MSFS 2020. Keep up the good work! 😊 Cheers
I miss my HP Reverb G1 with 2080 Super on iracing 😢
Can’t begin to imagine how crazy it all is with the new headsets and 4090!
Hey mate, noticed around 5mins you are talking about the reverb g2 but you are rendering way above it's resolution @ 5080x4356, while in VR you need to render higher to account for image transformations and a crop down to the target resolution of 2160x2160 per eye, that's about 1.4-1.45X panel res, so around the 3k'ish mark for reverb G2. I've got quite a bit of extensive experience and knowledge in VR if you have any queries feel free to reach out. Thanks
If any of these sims eventually take advantage of the 4000 gen dlss3 the boost will be significant above what you're seeing now. Did you apply dlss3 to msfs20 as the fps boost in 2d is huge.. more than double the fps with dlss2 in 2d at least
Nice video, great job but... with RTX 3080TI/3080 in ACC i can have the same performance with 75 mid fps (Reverb G2,openxr,modded engine) so i suppose that you test it all stock. maybe the drivers Nvidia are not yet optimized for the 4090 series? I'm expect more mid constant fps & performance from this beast
so I'm probably gonna get the hp reverb g2 v2 however i'm not sure what gpu will be next in the upgrade path as i've got the rx5600xt(2060 equvivalent) And i'll probably be on a tight budget
It looks like I'm CPU limited in Iracing more so than GPU so I wonder how I will get more frames with 4090
Wow, so refreshing to not bury the lede. Truly audience-focused content. Please don't ever change!
Thank you so much for this. The big tech channel just don't cover VR, which is frustrating as 4K gaming is solved, it's only in VR that we have to drop the settings a lot. Really hope you'll compare AMD's next GPU when that launches as I'm wondering if its higher clock speed will help us more on these old sims than all the ray tracing and DLS3 improvements Nvidia have made. I have a 3090 too and still haven't played a ray traced game!
Given how subjective VR is and how many hundreds of variables there are in the configuration, I’m not surprised they don’t go near VR. 😂. Every time we go near it the comments are a dumpster fire of people arguing that their way is the only way.
@@boostedmedia Been tearing my hair out with each "It's really hard to make a cpu bound test these days" and "We can see some real difference at 8K, but nobody uses 8K" comments in the reviews! I'm sure my cpu could be better and was really disappointed that the 3090 was not enough when it was brand new. So it's been really refreshing to see your review focusing on how far from max you have to de-tune the settings. I spent hours in project cars 2 tuning settings to get it playable, and even then my night/wet settings look rubbish in the dry. So thank you for taking a bite at this sort of content :)
@@boostedmedia I would love to hear your take on the Pimax Crystal when it comes out. (Hopefully shipping somewhere around Q1 2023)
the thing about AMD is that they improved a lot but not in VR yet, they still have issues on the encoding on cable or wireless on devices like quest 2, not sure how its working on other headsets that are direct display
I found since installing the OpenXR framework that the MS Flight Sim & iRacing was incredible and solid FPS on the 3090 but I'm looking forward to seeing it on a 40 series card
OpenXR is built into iRacing. OpenXR drastically improves Assetto Corsa Competizione.
I have the same experience flying in DCS VR Helicopters. Seems SteamVR is a resource hog.
How do you install OpenXR in ACC?

IS VR FINALLY UNLEASHED? Great title, that sums it all up. We're getting there. Since so many people spend so much money on hardware to achieve the best VR results, I wonder when eventually a sim racing developer wakes up and comes up with an "ultimate" racing sim, not only catering for an elaborated sim in general, but also for an optimised VR experience. In other words, I only spend 1% on the software and 99% on the hardware. I wouldn't mind to spend much more money on the sim software. And I guess i'm not alone. So, developers, take the risk (or financing) and come up with a true new gen racing sim (utilising a next gen engine like UE5 or whatever) now that the time and the HW is right! There is a market for it.
This was amazing and very helpful.. love your channel. Can you please provide your settings for ACC using HP rever 2 with the 4090. Thank you
I settled on VR High Preset
@@boostedmedia thank you
Hey there must be something wrong. i have G2 too and 4090. I set resolution scale down to 60% (temorary upscale on) but i put the Supersampling up to 160% and i have stable 90Fps all the time. Maybe on start some little drops. Thats looks soooo amazing!
Hi Will, thank you for the video. Did you use DLSS in any of your tests?
Yep where necessary to achieve the target frame rates.
Little but confused on foveated rendering. I thought on the Aero switching it on, in the Varjo Base. Did nothing if it’s not implemented in the game. I use a fixed foveated mod. Have I been getting this wrong?
Hi, good review. I also watch the HF8 review and others, keep the good work, tyvm. I have an issue with the VR. I have a question. I try VR ounce (with IRacing, D-Box rig...) , on a VR Varjo and I get motion sickness the 1st minute and it was impossible to continue. But, the immersion is so fantastic that I want to try others VR. Did the Pimax 8k+ with more large view, better fps can help to diminish the motion sickness? Ty in advance for any informations.
try out a windsim,it blows fresh cold air in your face,i have one from simracing studio,it helps me a lot,i use a noise canceling headset to filter the noise from the fans
Have you tried running the titles with opencomposite instead of steamvr? I found 10-15% uplift on my poop system... Might be interesting to see results.
i bought the G2 glad its future proof :D. oneday i will max it out haha.
Fluid motion frames turned my 6800 into the best 4090. Absolutely incredible!
on a G2 I would probably try to get a solid 45 FPS with high visual quality in Flight Simulator 2020. could probably get 60 with lower settings but I believe running it at 45 would look nice and smooth as it is exactly half of the headset refresh rate of 90hz, and visual quality is important in MSFS. would definitely need to experience both to be sure though.
What's it like with dcs? I have a 6800xt and a 5900x cpu atm
which one is your to go and fav vr headset. I have Quest2 but want to upgrade to G2, Pimax or Vajra. What would you pick?
Some of the performance jumps seem insane (to me at least) Did you run into any issues concerning power draw and cooling? I hope it isn't too extreme in that sense
Not at all. Power draw is less than it was with my 3090. 440W is the max I’ve seen on the GPU. Temps are 20C lower than the 3090 was on air too. I believe these coolers are designed to handle 600W TDP.
@@boostedmedia nice. thanks
What driver version did you use? Driver 522.25 did give up to 25% uplift for all Nvidia cards with DirectX 12.
If only I didnt just buy a 3090 a few months ago (basically a whole new computer)... I really want a 4090, but my wallet cant take it anymore
NVidia do claim some considerable framerate increases for this new driver.
I have a Reverb 1 which I haven't really used yet for Car or flying sims but now that I have a 4090 I might give it a go. Except Automobilista.
Also, I expected the 4090 to really smooth out F1 22 but despite high framerates it still seems jerky, especially the hoardings and signage while going around curves.
Any ideas?
Best 4090 review.
Great content. Would you be able to share your settings on F1 2022? I using a GB 4090 Gaming OC with the HP reverb and having been trying to find the sweet spot where FPS wont drop below 70.
I was just using the high preset with antialiasing set to 2x
Interesting review. 90+ fps is a must in my view for comfortable VR, hence, I'll wait for a faster GPU for FS in VR.
its shocking that gpu horsepower has yet to catchup to vr capability. shameful tbh
I don't really think it's a knock on the 4090's capabilities, but rather the game engine. There might be bottlenecks introduced in the design of the engine or the implementation of the VR code. I'd expect the performance to improve with newer titled. Here's hoping ACC2 does better
@@dhruvang5369 yes, it's very much related to the game being optimized for the existing hardware.
How would you compare the 3090ti to the 4090 for ACC? Thanks!
what about valve index? isnt that considered high end?
Is your super sampling set at 150%? It should be 100% through steam vr?
You need to try the "Praydog" Resident Evil VR mods. (2,3,7 and Village.) They will bring _any_ system to their knees with maxed settings -- even a 4090. They should really be the new go to benchmark for GPUs.
Oh man. I love the RE games but that sounds terrifying. 😂
What vr headset would u recommend for sim racing
Very interesting results you got there mate. I have the exact same setup as you, except I have the TUF variant and I run the 12900K without e-cores, and HT set to OFF. I get 90fps with G2 in ACC without any dips what-so-ever, even with full grid and a pixel density of 110 ingame and 120 in OpenXR.. I also use OpenComposite to get rid of SteamVR. I'm gonna test more titles in the coming week, but ACC and AC runs like an absolute beast!
I run ACC on 12700K & 3080 12GB. I would like to try out your settings. Does disabling e-cores have any effect in the overall system usage?
@@harikrupanand5064 It was because I run hyperthreading off, I get better performance in acc with hyperthreading off. It also enables you to overclock better, should you want to do that
I also had better results than him in ACC with my 4090, despite much higher resolution rendering of Pimax 8KX set at 1.5 and VR EPIC preset got 70-80fps
Thanks for all your feedback guys. Matching the panel refresh rate really is the target in VR. Before watching this video I thought the 4090 would be overkill, and after I thought it wasn't still not enough for ACC.
Finally, it all depends on settings and I regret Will targeted 80 fps or a little below, which made him set things maybe a little too high and give the impression that stable 90 fps can't be reached. So, thanks for your feedback correcting that false idea.
I never said 90FPS couldn’t be achieved. In fact I said the exact opposite multiple times.
Seeing your vram usage on LAC with rain effects hit 16+ gb thats my issue, my 3080ti is bottlenecked by vram. I'm using reverb g2 so a 4090 might be worth it for the vram alone. No rush i'll see if AMD's offering brings prices down a bit
Project cars 2 with pops racer ffb
Is the most immersive, beautiful, funnest VR racing game on the PC, also using yaw2 motion sim. The high degree of pitch and roll movement matches a mountain track like Bathurst.
That PC is absolutely bonkers!
How much better it is it on iRacing compared to an rtx 3080? Is it a very significant improvement?
Got a 3090TI about 6 months ago. My son would love the hand-me-down. But I'm probably going to wait and see what the 4090TI looks like.
How do you even demo VR on a 2D screen? Isn’t that a bit like listening to “Dark Side of the Moon” on a monophonic sound system?
does the Varjo Aero run with the 4090? I heard about problems there? Unfortunately, I don't speak English very well and I don't understand the video. Hence the question.
Thank you Marcel
I'm waiting to see what the system requirements will be for Rennsport to run well in VR. Hopefully a 5090 will do it
I sold my VR set because of motion sickness (lack of inertia forces). Did you have that issue at the beginning and just got used to it?
