Question

AMD FSR and VR, just wow

 As I'm sure most know that AMD has made their version of DLSS open source and even works on NVidia cards.  There are many youtube videos about how to mod individual games and who would benefit most.

 

 There is also a Steam app that you can run in the background called Lossless scaling, that I confirmed does work in VR. Only two games I had a chance to try it out on were. Fallout 4 VR, my PC usually handles this game very nicely but the fans would certainly rev up. With FSR the GPU fans stay close to idle on that one. The other was Doom FSR. Just wow on that one, seemed to have a 100% increase in performance and looked wonderful.  AMD FSR and Lossless scaling app has postponed any immediate GPU upgrade plans here

       Just tried it with "Aircar" and working in openXR also, right now at a loss to explain what's going on with beat sabre . Possibly an anti-cheat software blocking it for multi-player apps? 

       

      Edit: OK it's failing every time set to openXR now, game launching but not affected. To early to come to conclusions on that one but seems when working in Aircar, it's not the game that is displayed on the monitor just a black screen with the lossless scaling app in the center, but larger with no title bar. 

       

       Edit 2: Yeah for some reason, changing it back by clicking on WMR's "fix it" button for openXL seems to do the trick for me.  When it's working in Aircar, and a few other games, this is what I see on my monitor/TV. when invoked

        Interesting, thanks for you tests, do you choose a specific window when you scale, or do you just ctrl+ alt+s after you lunched the game? Or do you do it before lunching the game? Before lunching steam VR maybe?

         

        I have a 1080ti as well by the way, with an Oculus Quest 1 and I use virtual dekstop. ^^

        I've done it both ways with Steam Games. The times I've used Oculus with aircar, I've been launching the game, then hitting the 5 second button. 

         

         Just tried it with Virtual Desktop and sure seems to be working in that too.

          Thats great you have Virtual Desktop; it has that performance monitor in it so you can see if the Lossless app is really doing anything for you. People on steam seem to think it won't work with VR. I use Open FSR/NIS which works great but not on Oculus games or OpenXR games.. I bought the app while its a few bucks as I'll use it with flat screen games too. I will do some testing. W/VDesktop

            Not to be outdone by AMD, Nvidia has also released their version stating that it is not DLSS and have had it for a long time only now making it open source as well. 

             

            The new update of Lossless scaling has a new gui and category "Nvidia Image scaling" I haven't tried it yet but of course Nvidia boast many times better results. I'm going in...   

             

            Edit: Seen this on the subject that put it in better perspective for me.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1RE9WPXMyc
