Could use help in VR can never get over 45fps

UPDATED AT BOTTOM:

Rig:

i7 7700K @ 4.2GHz

32GB Ram

Asus OC 2080TI 11GB

960 Evo 1TB SSD

Oculus Rift driven by Oculus software (not Steam VR)

Win 10 64bit

Acer X34 G-SYNC monitor

DCS Beta, F14B, Persian Gulf. My plane, alone on the Stennis in the middle of the water.

Default VR settings, 1.0 pixel density. NVIDIA settings set to application controlled.

Pegged at 45FPS all the time.

What in heck am I doing wrong?? :(

UPDATE:

Tried every setting under the book. Performace headroom is constantly -50 to -70% according to the oculus debug tool. Without ASW on, frames are in the 30s. Something is definitely amiss here and many folks complaining this is a recent issue with 2.5.4

You have ASW on in the Rift software, so if you're not getting 90FPS (which you never will in the current version of DCS bc it's so terribly optimized), it locks you to 45FPS for smoothness.

Should I force ASW off? I have the Oculus Debug Console. Or does it make no difference?

You can turn off in the game, CTRL + Num Pad 1. I prefer turned off myself, I feel I gain some fps.

Man it just seems crazy that with this kind of firepower, it cant even get close. :(

My system is close to yours. I can get 45 fps and at times looking in the sky get 90 fps. My PD is set at 1.9.

I have pd at 1.4 and asw turned off.. Exept shadow *its on low* I have all maxed out, even vis, its on extreme... I get a stable 45 and above.

F14 tanks my fps to 30. Any other module 45 fps.

im holding solid at 45 fps (outside & inside cockpit) on the ground and can burst to 90 (outside cockpit) when im up high. I have to admit that lately, VR in DCS has gotten better. I can even use a little MSAA and not take a huge hit.

You can also try using the Oculus Tray tool to disable ASW if you have it enable thru Oculus.

my settings (old screenshot i can actually use a little MSAA @ 2x)

I also wrote a blog about my VR settings last year that may have some helpful info. Its a few months ago and may need updating by now but could be still helpful.

Thank you again for all your hard work in this space ElementLT. I will give your settings a shot and see how it goes. I am also suspecting there is optimization work that F14 needs to do for frames.....but overall, it looks like DCS in general needs more focused work in this area.

45fps is good for dcs and smoothness. If 90fps cant be achieved which it cannot. 45 is the answer
