Great news for linux gamers. Hopefully we will soon be able to have FSR3->4 even without optiscaler.

    Try flight simulators in VR. Upscaling saves you at least €400 in GPU cost

    Note that Frame Gen does not help here, as not getting nauseous in VR requires low latency. Frame Gen actually increases latency.

      Thanks but no thanks, I already play MSFS in VR on my Quest 2 via VD and the JPEG compression on that thing is enough, adding any kind of upscaling would turn my comfy Fenix A320 into the goddamn vomit comet

          With the quest? Yeah so am i. You very much still have compression. Even at 800mbps bitrate, thats still not the same as a proper display port headset like the Index.

          In fact you very likely don’t see the smear probably because of the blocky JPEG of the image as is, and maybe you’re used to it because you watch a lot of streaming videos rather than high bitrate vids. Not meant as an insult, that’s just the way things are nowadays.

            I use a Reverb G2 which is directly driven by the host pc through OpenXR, no compression or onboard processing at all.

            I only use it for flight sims.

              Oh sure yeah that’s fine then, you specified wired as opposed to the headset so I was confused, now I’m jelly haha

                Yeah it’s been great for a few years but it’s slowly falling apart. I’ve been putting off getting a replacement as it looks like the only options are downgrading or triple the cost (or more)
