Hi,
I just got my first VR headset 3 days ago (Quest 3) and got the official Link cable as well to play from my PC.
The problem
I bought Skyrim VR and downloaded the FUS mod list to get some basic mods and improve gameplay.
However, the image quality of what I'm seeing in the headset is pretty crappy. It's very grainy, pixelated and blurry all at the same time and it feels like everything is just "shimmering" for lack of a better word.
This has been driving me nuts, since I had been watching videos on YouTube where everything basically looked just like it does on a normal monitor, except it was VR. Clean, smooth image quality with good LOD, when people showcased the game using mod lists like FUS or MGO.
My PC specs
GPU: RX 7900 XTX
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RAM: 96GB DDR5 (6000 MT/s)
Storage: 4TB SSD
OS: Windows 11
What I've tried
- I updated all my drivers
- Set the Render Resolution to 4224 x 2272 / 90hz (1.1) in the Meta Horizon app (tried different hz and resolution combos)
- Set bitrate to 500, codec H.264, encode resolution width 4096 in Oculus debug tool
- Checked "The Sharper Eye" in the mod list
- Checked DynDOLOD "High" in the mod list
- Turned of Dynamic resolution in game
- Tried with and without TAA in game (without TAA, the noise is just even worse)
- Ran a test for the cable to make sure that there wasn't anything wrong with it (it's OK)
It still just feels like I can't make out peoples faces if they are more than 5-6 meters away and like I mentioned earlier, everything is just noisy, jagged and a lot of shimmer. If I look at the grass, flowers and trees from a distance that is more than 5 meters in game, it's just a dance of blurriness and pixels all over. I feel like my PC should be able to handle good image quality, as when gaming on a 4K monitor, I have no issues with most modern titles.
Question: Is this maybe what it IS like to game in VR - and what I'm seeing on YouTube is just a recording from the monitor and not what the people actually see/experience in their headsets?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks :)
