Performance Boost Method

[livid beacon]

For everyone who struggles to keep a steady framerate in the game I would recommend using the OpenVR-FSR-App as it could improve up to 40% or higher. Don't know if I can vouch for external programs in this server but this is the only solution so far that works great.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Download the app https://github.com/tappi287/openvr_fsr_app
2. Open it and select GERONIMO
3. Click VrPerfKit plugin - I would recommend Inner Radius and Mid radius set to .65 and .80 for universal headroom.
4. Scroll down to upscaling, Select on in the Enabled tab, Set method to FSR, and just trouble shoot or google/AI to find out your best render scale and sharpness percentage.

--- For people who aren't familiar with upscaling it wont work if you set the render scale and sharpens to the same percentage. A lower render scale means FSR has to upscale the image more, while a higher render scale means less upscaling is needed and the image is usually sharper. The sharpness setting only controls the amount of sharpening applied after upscaling; it does not control how much the image is upscaled.

-- After you get your settings right you just have to start the game and it will automatically be upscaled.

On an RX 7600 Ryzen 5 5500 4.6 build I went from a fluctuating 90-115 in single player and 60-75 in multiplayer on all low settings, to a steady 120 fps medium settings in single player and steady 90 frames in multiplayer.

I can vouch for this. You don’t need AI for it though. Just find an upscaling scale you are comfortable with visually for your performance.

Doesn't vd just have stuff like this built into it

only sharpening so you wont get a performance increase just sharper visuals

I swear it has resolution shit in it too

And you could lower that then sharpen

Virtual Desktop mostly just stretches the image and adds sharpening, which can make it look crunchy or blurry. The OpenVR FSR plugin does a smarter upscale, so it usually looks clearer and better while giving greater FPS.

i wonder if drs would work good for vr games i know its in a lot of console games

actually half life alyx uses it im pretty sure

[tall cove]

this is actually so nice it runs really well

[somber spire]

does this work for my rtx 5070 aswell?

[tall cove]

yep any gpu

[somber spire]

do i still need to select FSR on method even tho i am on Nvidia?

[tall cove]

?

its fsr

it works on any gpu

doesnt matter

[tall cove]

the fsr used in the app isnt fsr 4 which isnt driven by ai therefore it doesnt need to be used with a amd card

[somber spire]

okay thx

[tall cove]

np

Theres literally a resolution percentate slider in the desktop window for virtual desktop

[tall cove]

i compared it this option def runs way better than the vd upscaling

idk the vd one really sucks
