  • 120 fps @2700p video look just as good as the 8k videos?

  • To check if the Hevc video extension is working play a h265 movie and check the "Video Decode" graph of your task manager during playback:
  • You'll only have to reinstall and reset if "Video Decode" doesn't seem to do anything.
  • If you buy the extension once it will be linked to your account and you can install and uninstall it as many times as needed for free (so you'll pay a maximum of 0.99$).
  • Never needed to change anything in my graphic cards settings no.
  • VrAllure and VrHush have the highest resolution of all studios I'm aware off with 8192x4096 (which is the maximum resolution supported on current gen cards). It seems to be just a little more than my RTX 2070 is able to handle at 100% super sampling with a Pimax 8kx though but maybe your card will be able to handle it. You'll have to try for yourself. Probably need to try Heresphere if you want to do that though. Truly great image quality when everything is in focus.

      fenderwq First off the codex are working.
      Second, I can't find the supersampler for steam global or locally anywhere. I tried to look it up on youtube and the web. I could see it used to be there. It looks like they have changed their setting or something with an update. Now I can't find it anywhere.
      Third, If I put Pitool setting on 75 fps then it cuts it to 37, if 90 then 45. So I turned off motion smoothing on Pitool and it went from 37 fps on suppose to be 75 fps to 55 fps. So it added 25%. It does the same thing on 60 and 90. So I only needed to find the last 25%. Changing motion smoothing on the steam settings did nothing.

      But the big change I tried was I changed it from native to upscaling at 110 fps. It works perfectly with no frames lost. I have no idea what upscaling is but I'll take it.

          Hey this may help you out I had some similar issues back then when I got my RTX, and my solution was to Install this Extension for HEVC in the Microsoft Store search for "HEVC Video Extensions"
          Before this x265 will not work it was a nightmare

            rerun119 Did you also install the LAV filters?

            I recommend using the k-Lite standard codec pack.
            It has the LAV filters and also comes with a helpful tool to reset all your codecs and filters to their default values.
            You can find them here: https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

            If you purchased the HEVC codec from the Microsoft store, you do not need to rebuy it as long you use the same Microsoft/Windows account.

            But, you can also get them for free on the k-lite website!
            Here: https://codecguide.com/media_foundation_codecs.htm
            For SLR only "HEVC video (a.k.a. H.265)" is needed from this page.

            If you have installed everything and still have issues.

            Which monitor(s) do you have connected to your PC? And their settings. resolution, refresh rates. And which kind of cable, HDMI, Display Port, USB-C?

            Try disabling any secondary monitors while using the headset. Use Display Port instead of HDMI when possible.
            Only have one monitor? Lower the refresh rate to 60-75 if it is a high refresh rate monitor. If it's more than 1080p, try lowering it to 1080p.

            Disable V-sync or any other 'sync' technique anywhere you can find it. Windows settings, driver settings, any tool or app settings, etc. - This actually sounds like a plausible cause based off of your description of the behavior.

            Are you using any display dongles or output converters? DP to HDMI for example.

            I'm not suggesting these as permanent solution, but it will give us a better understanding of what the cause may be.

            Can you check for driver updates for your GPU?
            Do you have an integrated GPU in your system? - Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc on your keyboard, and go to the Performance tab as shown in fenderwq 's image. See if there are more than one GPU's in the list. The GPU's are always at the bottom of the list. - GPU 0, GPU 1 etc

            Pitool will override (most of) the Steam settings. So here it is normal the smoothing on Steam didn't change anything.
            For !! -> VIDEO <- !!, never use smoothing!

            1. There's no benefit doing so.
            2. It degrades image sharpness (looks like a light Gaussian blur)
            3. Can cause lag.
            4. Codecs/video filters are better suited for this if you really need to adjust the image. Usually these settings are already built into the video player UI and settings.

                  Rakly3 You are the greatest employee at SLR. I would buy you a virtual beer if I know how to.

                  You fixed my FPS problem. I did everything you told me to do. I'm not good at computers so it took me a lot of time googling how to do everything. I didn't really see anything that was missing or wrong except that the V-sync on the 3D settings for NVIDIA was set to something like 'let the app pick" so I put it to OFF. It's been a couple of days since I did it because I didn't want to get my hopes up the first time I watched vr and it worked.

                  Thank You to everybody that helped me. Especially Rakly3 and fenderwq . You both wrote every detailed directions that I could follow.

                  I have no idea how it got turned on but I'm back baby

                          rerun119 the V-sync on the 3D settings for NVIDIA was set to something like 'let the app pick"

                          Thanks for this information. I'll ask the devs if they can do something about this.

                              Rakly3 I'm not positive that is what it said. I'm not sure what it said other than it didn't say ON or OFF.

                                  rerun119 That's ok 🙂 The phrasing doesn't matter. What matters is that our app has it OFF. 🙂

                                    For me, 8K has better quality, but I purchased the HEVC codec from the Microsoft store. This is the only way I can make it work if I try to install k-Lite Standart, I get lag everywhere using x265.

                                        saskim thanks, what's your headset? is 8k real life like for you? l can play 8k vr but the resolution is too low
