The transcript doesn't offer a detailed explanation of what the "Transformer model" is, only that it's part of DLSS 4 and significantly improves performance. The speaker implies it's a specific type of algorithm or processing method within DLSS 4.
This video provides a guide to VR settings in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, focusing on optimal settings for Pimax Crystal, Pimax Light, and Meta Quest 3 headsets. The speaker emphasizes that these are his personal settings, not definitive "best" settings, and are adaptable to different hardware.
Prioritize Smoothness: The speaker prioritizes smooth frame rates over maximum graphical detail, especially in VR. He suggests aiming for around 45 FPS for a 90Hz headset, adjusting settings accordingly.
Utilize DLSS 4: DLSS 4 significantly improves performance in MSFS 2024 VR, offering a considerable boost in frame rates. The speaker recommends using the "Balanced" preset.
Adjust Render Scale in Headset Software: The speaker recommends keeping the in-sim render scale at 100% and adjusting resolution in the headset's software (e.g., Pimax Play).
Max Frame Rate Setting: The introduction of a max frame rate setting in MSFS 2024 eliminates the need for config file adjustments. Locking the frame rate to a consistent value, such as half the refresh rate of the VR headset, improves smoothness.
Headset-Specific Settings: The speaker discusses specific settings for the Pimax headsets (using medium render quality) and the Meta Quest 3 (using AV1 10-bit codec and Virtual Desktop).
The video explains that the speaker prefers TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) mode. He notes that a 5090 GPU can run TAA at full native resolution, achieving 30-40 FPS, which he considers acceptable for flight simulation. He mentions that for a 4070 Super, running TAA might require downsampling.
Regarding DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) 4, the speaker highlights it as a significant performance booster for VR, particularly with the Transformer model. MSFS 2024 natively supports DLSS 4, eliminating the need for manual file swapping. He suggests using either the "Performance" or "Balanced" DLSS 4 preset, finding the "Balanced" preset to be a good compromise between visual quality and performance. He uses the Nvidia app to select the DLSS 4 preset, suggesting Preset J or K for optimal results. He mentions a utility called the "DLSS Swapper" which helps ensure the latest DLSS 4 files are used.
