LAPTOP i7 + 4060 + VR QUEST3S

[Fran13]

Hello everyone,

 

For mobility reasons I use a laptop with a 13th-gen i7, 16 GB RAM, and an NVIDIA 4060 8 GB GPU. The laptop has a fairly powerful USB-C port that works as a graphics output.

 

A few days ago, I bought the Quest 3S, which give me good performance in DCS.

The problem I’m facing is with IL-2. When I run the game in fullscreen at 1920×1080, I get between 160 and 220 FPS. Strangely, when I connect the Quest 3S, the FPS won’t go higher than 35.

 

I understand that the Quest 3S render roughly double the resolution of 1080p with both eyes, but 35 FPS still seems very low for a game that’s more than 10 years old.

 

Any clue where the issue might be?

 

Thanks.

There are 'some' performance relevant thing. To find the correct direction:

- You use Steam VR ? 

   Turn supersamling down ( Steam resolution factor )

- Turn of Antialiasing ( MSAA gives a big performance hit, but also TSAA costs something ) 

- Quality of Clouds and Shadows.

 

There are a lot of tips here in the forum.  The tips that apply to a Quest3 or Quest Pro should also apply to a Quest 3S.

A 4060/8GB generally is not really "beefy" so you cannot play in VR with high settings.
