MSFS BEST VR SETTINGS GUIDE 2023 HP REVERB G2 | SET and FORGET! RTX 3070 / 4070 / 4090

Hi, Thx for the vids. I would like to know how nvidia settings are for you?

It made mine worst. Dlss sucks.

Hi Steve. Why did you recommend direct x11 for mid to high end users this time? I saw an older video where you compared direct x11 vs 12 for MSFS and you preferred direct x12. Thank you for the video!

I subscribed a few months ago but this is my first comment. I have a Reverb G2 V2, an RTX 3080 10gb OCed to 1800/55000, a 13600KF OCed to 55/55/54/54/53/53 // 44/ x 8, and 32gb of DDR5 RAM at 5600. I used your exact setting for a 3070 (with DLSS/Balanced) and I am NOW finally getting what I would consider the absolute BEST visuals in this headset. I tried many other configuration from other sources and I was always very unhappy with the results. I had been using a Meta Quest 2 with link cable and could not get the visuals I now get with the Reverb G2. Before I used your settings, I had though I had made a big mistake buying the Reverb G2... I no longer think that way now! Thank you so much for your efforts and time. You have made this simmer a very happy man!!! 😁

Do you have amd version of recommended settimgs and openxr settigs?

It is so frustrating that FBW or Fenix have not managed to synchronize the thrust lever to this day. With VR controller it is not possible to operate the thrust lever reasonably. You can only operate one lever of the two at a time. This makes a flight impossible

i cannot open the toolkit menu. i cannot figure it out. any have a suggestion?

I have the openXR toolkit (from github) running for my pimaxXR. Should I also be downloading the openXR toolkit for windows mixed reality or is having both pointless? I'm assuming the internal menu (when using VR) is identical either way?

Hey pal thanks for the video! with a i5, 11400f ,rtx 3060, and reverb g2, my reverb screens looks too white , like if it has Gamma too high , how can i fix this?. tried playing with brightness and contrast but doesnt work, thanks

why is the steamvr launcher never used? it is worse?

Thanks for this Steve. I've got a 12700k/4090 and last week i was getting ready to upgrade the system to the 13700 or 7800x3d. I've been using dx12 dlss for some time now but my fps had got quite poor.

Yesterday or reset everything and restored everything back on dx11 taa now and it's working better and looking clearer.

I'm going to give it a further tweak later when i get home with a view to reducing some of the settings (clouds on ultra) and see how i get on.

Thanks for video refreshing the settings for the g2.

Hey, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this video and appreciated you putting it out, but I did see some performance differences with my settings compared to yours, and I would be curious to see your reaction trying my settings. Some of my settings are higher than yours, and trying your settings I actually found a significant performance decrease in both frame rates and stutter. My settings seem to run significantly smoother, despite having some of my details set higher than yours. My system is an RTX 4090 and a 13900 KF. My settings are as follows: My anti-aliasing is not using TAA, but is using DLSS super, my world scale is set to 130, just because I found the interiors of the aircraft to be abnormally small when set to 100. I fly in real life, so the scale to me just seemed off. I have terrain level of detail set to 300, pre-cashing set to ultra, terrain vector data set to high, buildings set to high, trees grass and bushes all set to ultra, objects level of detail is set to 200, clouds ultra, texture resolution high, anistropic filtering 16, super sampling set to 8 x 8, texture synthesis ultra, water waves high, shadow maps and terrain shadows both set to 2048, contacts shadows ultra, windshield effects ultra, ambient occlusion all the way off, cube map reflections 256 Ray marched reflections high, light shafts high, bloom on, and glass cockpit refresh set to high. I would be curious to see how your experience is with my settings, considering we are running such a similar hardware set up. A lot of my quality settings are higher than yours, and I am getting between 40 and 50 frames per second with no stutter. The only time I run into stutter issues is with large areas of photogrammetry. This is with the reverb G2. My Pimax Crystal is on the way!

i noticed you had turbo mode on will that work with reverb g2

Can you do this for DCS?

Running RTX 3080 and your settings. Still DX11 or now DX12 with the new Nvidia 536.40? Thanks so much!!

Steve, do you mind me asking what your Mixed Reality > Headset display settings are for the G2?

any difference between DX11 and DX12?

Thanks. I've been struggling to get a smoot setting in VR with my 4090, i9. Especially over cities.

Out of curiosity, why DX11 and not DX12?
I found that using my RTX3080 I got less micro stutters using DX12. But having upgraded to 4080, I am not sure which is better now, it's very subtle, but I think DX11 works better for me now.
I am courious what are your findings.

I think contact shadows especially and less so ambient occlusion make a massive difference on how trees look. With them turned off the trees look so terrible to me that it’s immersion-breaking, because there are just no shadows on them. So even on the 3070 I take the small performance hit and leave those on low. But it was a really good tip to try DLSS, when it was introduced initially I tried it and found it terrible because text on displays was completely blurred, so I stuck with TAA. Now that seems to have been fixed (or the trick was to set OXR to 100%), and DLSS looks a lot crisper all round, although text is still slightly more blurred than under TAA.

Can i ask why you puts fsr to 200? Rather than just turning it off.

Please do one for the PICO 4!!

Hello, thanks for your videos. it's difficult for me to see what the settings are (my english is bad) did they exists somewhere in txt format ? i notised to not use ultra on cloud and ray march reflexion. Good sky !

Thank you for this settings Guide! For your high end are you using DX11 or DX12?

hello i have a gtx 4090 am trying to get the fps up in the flight sim i must be doingg some thing wrong driving me made keep geting 20 fps it starts off on load up screen in the 40s to 50s then drops in the sim

have anyone use q2 with vd black screen problem when turn to vr mode? vd 1.27

So i just got the reverb g2 up and running, set the motion projection to 1/2 framerate , 100% render scale. You what, 145 frames per second? Not sure if the msi fps counter is working right. Looks like butter and the difference compared to the good old oculus rift is eye popping! Maybe i need to ramp up the ultras a bit

Edit
Framerate is 45 htz after reboot, that makes sense!

Can you do one with quest 2?

Hi Steve, again a very educational video 👌🏼 I am still trying to figure out what exactly is render scaling and motion reprojection I’m looking for a simple explanation for that so I see what is exactly 😉 Thanks in advance! Happy flying!

Steve your a legend I haven't been on sim for ages and this is what I needed

Would this work for the Quest 2?

Why does no one ever mention world scale settings in steam vr. I usually set it to 115%, gives me a more real feel in cockpit with flight and sim racing.

Hi Steve, thanks a lot. I have a RTX 3080 and HP Reverb G2, following your suggestions and tips it is running smoothly and with a very good resolution. I have to say that I am using supersampling with OpeXR Toolkit to 3700. It makes a big difference in the shake of clarity. I encourage to everyone to test it, it is really amazing !!!

Very nice video, but I would have also liked you going down the list talking about each setting's effect on fps. Like building texture, terrain vector data, shadows etc

would you recommend buying a G2 (V2) now or wait for either a Quest 3 or any newer headsets coming out.

I have a high-end PC... 7800x3D, 64GB RAM, RTX4090.

Yeah thanks Steve. Any chance you can do one of these for a Q2 with 2060 and 16GB of RAM? 😂

With your 4090 what choice setting are you using 150% in the open wmr open xr or do you have the openxr tool kit override resolution bumped up how high can I go. I have the 4090 1300k and reverb g2. Thanks Steve

I'm realy struggling to find the right settings for my Varjo Aero. Any chance you make a similar video for the Aero?🤞

Thanks again Steve for your continued contribution to the flight simulator community

Any advice for 7900 XTX?

I keep seeing references to OpenXR, but I'm using SteamVR. Although it's not as efficient or gives as many framerates as OpenXR but having OVRToolkit to bring in windows (apps) and the desktop in VR is an absolute must for me, and that is the only reason I'm using SteamVR. Is there any tool out there as good as OVRTookit that doesn't require SteamVR?

Hey Steve do you have one for the pimax with 4090 and open xr toolkit ?getting mine in a couple of weeks. If you don’t have a video coukd you please make one i mainly need to know what should be the override resolution be set to in the openxr tool kit. Thanks buddy

Hi Steve. I would love if you could do the same type of video recommending the G2 settings for DCS. I have a RTX 3080 and found this video quite useful compared to demonstrating what a 4090 system can get away with.

You can lower the resolution in OpenXR from 100% to 50%. At 100% OpenXR is supersampling the resolution. Lower it to 50% and you match the native headset resolution. The difference between 100% and 50% is very small (hardly noticeable) but you gain a lot of fps.

We need full setup guide for Crystal from start until finish on how to get the most out of it and setup it correctly..... But it's better to do this once eye tracking update is out for non beta users

Thanks for that Steve - I use a 3070 and G2, and I have to admit, most of my settings are quite a bit higher than yours mate. Have you by any chance had the opportunity to try out the NVidia settings I sent you a while back?

To what extend do I hacve to change the settings in combination with a Quest 2?

You’ve basically got 2 choices with the 4090 you aim for 90fps and make the compromises or you accept the reprojection and up the quality. Obviously the higher the native resolution of your HMD the harder it is to achieve 90fps and I do find it being downplayed by a lot of vendors and reviewers probably because there isn’t a lot they can do about it besides supporting DFR or having the optics in a way to keep the barrel distortion render resolution manageable. I find it also depends on the game and what you are doing for example low-level heli & jet flights vs. Chilling at higher altitude watching the world go by can either be very forgiving or punishing… Similarly a space sim like StarWars Squadrons the effects of motion reprojection are stark. It’s good to talk about it though it helps people understand what they can realistically expect. What would be good to see is more HMDs support an 80Hz refresh rate imho
