Improve desktop performance for windows aero

Would appreciate any advice on the most sensible path forward.įirst I'd figure if you have bottlenecks (RAM/CPU most likely) and if it's the case, get rid of them.Īll (Intel/AMD) CPU controllers have limits that cause them to throttle down under load, I'm not so versed in Intel tech but I'm quite sure they can't manage more than 4 banks/ranks, so if you have 4 X 2 ranks/banks RAM kit, your CPU will throttle down under load anyway, the other thing with Intel is frequency, the higher, the better. If not the Aero, then perhaps the Reverb G2 as an interim? In an ideal world, Id go a faster LGA1700 CPU and a 4080, but that would be a substantially big upgrade cost on top of the aero. And in SP, i tend to get GPU headroom limits. Openvr tells me that my CPU is the usual culprit that runs out of headroom on MP servers. Id be happy with a consistent 40fps on a nice VR headset. I've tried to optimise DCS settings, but feel I've hit a wall. So that kind of implies that my system would struggle to get the best out of the aero, if it cant even handle the Rift S.

However, I've recently tried the Rift S in DCS again and my VR performance is still dissatisfying (flying Apache gets me 40fps on some SP maps and as low as 20fps on MP servers). I've been toying with the idea of upgrading my Rift S to the Varjo Aero. Could I please trouble you for some advice?
