I've been trying for days to get a decent performance out of a setup with a Ryzen 3900X with a 2080 Super and an Oculus Quest 2.I'm not even trying to go beyond 60fps, which is being stated many times the game can't do properly. I can't even do stable 60fps at 60Hz on LOW SETTINGS and AO OFF. WITH A 2080 Super... *facepalm*In non VR mode I can run the game with all on Ultra and even Reshade on top with Superdepth3D.In VR (using SteamVR in Virtual Desktop), the game just maxes the GPU usage for a pathetic LOW quality settings and offers a lame stutter fest gameplay.There is something inexcusably wrong with this pile of a game. 20 days after release and this is totally unplayable.

@narkohol I'm in the exact same boat. People keep telling me that it's a known issue, and that the refresh is locked at 60fps. It's like they don't hear the part where I'm telling them that I'm only getting around 35 fps, and that is with the graphics set to low and 1080 resolution per eye.This is not mentioned in EA's list of known issues. I'm trying to figure out if it is only the Oculus Quest 2 having issues? Or perhaps all Oculus products? With the metric tool, it appears my fps is 72, but it definitely isn't. It's a choppy stuttery mess. I'd like to know if other VR users are able to get a legit 60 fps? If so, which headset, and which platform is the game running under (Origin or Steam).

I tried:- Several Nvidia driver versions- All the possible combinations of settings (vsync, latency, VR prerendered frames, etc.)- Disabling OC on both CPU & GPU- Shutting down any background software- Setting all quality settings in Virtual Desktop and the game to the lowest possible- Installing a different Windows 10 version- Installing SteamVR Beta- Setting Virtual Desktop to 60, 72, 80, 90.- Using Oculus Link instead of Virtual Desktop- Setting different quality options in Oculus Debug Tool, Oculus Tray Tool, Oculus app and Sidequest....NOTHING made any faqking difference. Got *exactly* the same stutters.

@Jackrabbit710Your headset runs at 80, but the engine only offers 60. No setting can change this.I run a stable 120, yet it still is a blurry stutter mess (yes, blur etc all set to 0 in the file vr settings) whenever movement is involved.Clearly they wanted vr support for marketing purposes, not for actual use.Dont hold your breath for any of the cm's to comment on this either, i wouldnt cherry pick this hot popato either if it was my job.

Tried every fix, from v sync and extra VR frames in Nvidia control panel, to in game options, to oculus tray tool, NOTHING works, game is a stuttering mess after a few minutes of play, having to reset all VR options in the middle of the game to make it go away and a few minutes later the stutter returns... Fix this *.

Just tried enabling ASW with both Forced 45fps and Adaptive in Oculus Tray Tool, and then the Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 and Ctrl+3 options in game. The game gets smoother, with typical interpolation glitches visible.You can't force 80Hz or 90Hz via Oculus Link (it just inevitably crashes) so you end up with a pathetic 36fps, doubled to 72fps/72Hz via ASW.And even then there are stutters each second/few seconds. This is unacceptable quality.Even with a Encode Resolution Width of 3664, a Encode Bitrate of 500Mbps and a Pixels Per Display Override (supersampling) of 1.3, Oculus Link looks noticeably worse than Virtual Desktop, which is baffling.So, summing it up: still the same pile of hot garbage it's been so far. No matter how many different ways or different settings I try, game performs like if I was running it on a Spectrum 48K. Developers should be ashamed.

Pathetic VR performance. Game state is a shameful pile.

@narkoholRunning an i9900k and RTX2070 with the Rift S or Q2, I get pretty unplayable performance even on low settings but only after last week’s patch, I think. I had completed the story mode with decent performance and then didn’t play for a couple of days. The Q2 arrived. I tried it and it was unplayable. Went back to the rift and it wasn’t much better so I couldn’t blame the Q2. I think they broke something in 1.2.

@narkohol At a guess, I’d say check your supersampling settings. If it’s running ok flat but not VR, steam is probably auto supersampling too high.
Mine ran at a solid 80fps, similar system (aside from the 60fps refresh stutter that everyone’s got)

Supersampling OFF in SteamVR and 1.0 in Oculus Debug Tool.

It does not matter what you try...YOU CANT fix this...the game engine is locked to 60 (unique) FPS...so PC-VR is a SHAM..this was designed for PlayStation VR NOT PC-VR. EA should clearly warn about the hideous PC-VR support before any more people are fooled into buying this pile. I'm expecting delivery of Reverb G2 & RTX3080 any day now which I ordered solely for this so the way I see it EA owes me about £1250 or FIX THE GAME. The most they have accepted is 'some people report a feeling of low FPS' in VR & above 60FPS monitors and are investigating........BULL..they know & knew very well the situation before release & kept quiet...AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is... I understand why the 60fps lock is bothering plenty of people, and I want that fixed too, but my problem is that I can't get a decent performance EVEN at 60fps 60Hz. Right now I'm not trying to get more. It has been impossible so far. Not even with everything on low on a Ryzen 3900X with a RTX 2080 Super and 32GB@3600...

No matter which settings in Virtual Desktop or Oculus Link, no matter which Nvidia settings, no matter which game settings, even with ASW interpolation there is always stutter in VR, even if the game runs great in non-VR 2D at Ultra. And any other game does too.

...and then there's people saying they get "buttery smooth" performance with 1070's, 1080's, i5's... I mean... WTF is wrong then?

@narkohol Did You try to set Steam VR custom resolution to 100%? By Your GPU usage it seems, some setting is automatically scaling available GPU resources to maximum.

Ye, setting the resolution to 100% on SteamVR improves the performance, but the hitching every few seconds is still there.
