Technical Advancements and Benefits
On a technical level, Ross has achieved a notable reduction in the overhead required to run this mod by cropping the edges that are out of view in the headset. This feature, reminiscent of one found in VorpX, frees up GPU power that can be redirected to enhance resolution. The result is smoother gameplay and a reduction in the headaches that can sometimes accompany VR sessions.
Implications for Gamers
So, what does this mean for gamers?
Lower spec GPUs now have a better chance of delivering a high-quality experience. The extreme ghosting that was a significant issue when using DLSS (or without it) has been substantially minimized, and distant details are much clearer. While the Varjo Aero headset still surpasses the Quest 3 in visual fidelity, as a PCVR gamer with a Quest 3, the experience now aligns more closely with what I believe should be the standard. With the RTX 4090, I can crank up the in-game resolution and enhance the graphics settings significantly.
A Much-Needed Improvement
If you’ve previously dismissed the mod due to its performance on lower spec GPUs, it’s time to revisit it. The once fuzzy visuals have undergone a marked improvement, making the game much more enjoyable.
Conclusion
Although the mod does not support motion controls, they aren’t essential for this game. What you do get is a AAA budget game that you can marvel at in VR, which is an impressive achievement in itself.
