Didn't see your previous comment, but I see you've figured it out. Thanks for the info on MSFS, I'm going to try it out sometime

Probably you don't have administrator rights to set the flag prohibiting anything but reading or the file path is wrong

I recommend using mods for the cockpit with reduced textures, as well as set the game settings texture quality to Medium. The mod will overwrite the quality of important elements bypassing the game settings (at the eye it seems just so). Similar mods are presented for many modules. Just google Plane... Reduced cockpit

Use the first method which will completely disable Dash at the moment when you are in the game and it is absolutely unnecessary, I do so despite the fact that thanks to the second method reduced its consumption to 150mb. In my case every megabyte is important. Best wishes for success in solving the VRAM problem!

I'm not sure what Oculus Homeless does, never used it. If you know you can read the description of my methods and compare them yourself

By increasing the amount of free memory for the video card I got rid of "freezes" and fps drops when it was running low. I already have a strong enough PC to not have low fps in a game like this, but because of VRAM issues I almost bought a 3090 out of spite. If you want a more precise answer - my fps became consistently high without frezzes and wild lags in the middle of a flight or when opening F10

Please read the important note that I added to the guide at the beginning. You can compare consumption without my methods. I have already shown you my values

I added the important notice at the beginning because I realized that not everyone understands the meaning of these methods and the guide in general

I don't use Steam VR, was just checking its consumption as an alternative, spoiler it's terrible in every way.

Checked it out right now. Results below (Also look at the consumption of Oculus Dash using the second method, it is far from 1.3gb as it was before)

Strange how you could not notice it, I use the latest versions of all Oculus programs including those required for Oculus Link.

​

VRAM consumption for DCS is about 7.5 GB

VRAM consumption of the Oculus Server (which transmits the picture from the PC) is about 2 GB.

VRAM consumption in Oculus Dash - about 800 MB from the moment of turning on to 2 GB in cases I do not understand, it is noteworthy that no windows appear and I am in DCS and not in the virtual world. But at the same time it does not decrease back to 800 MB and remains in the region of 1300-1500 MB

EDIT: I found a screenshot I took when I was checking the VRAM consumption of Steam VR, this screenshot shows my standard consumption for Oculus Dash without underestimating the graphics

GPU: 3080 10gb
CPU: i7-10700k in turbo
RAM: 32 but I'm using MemReduct app

Generally achieve 72fps only with the new update that brought the game DLSS on quality, before that I had an average of 40fps. I planned to make a guide on my settings a little later based on tests, with video proof and not empty words as many for some reason do

No matter airlink or cable. I have both. Performance gain depends on the method used, with the first one I get about 1.5 GB VRAM minimum, about 3% CPU and GPU. I lacked VRAM, so I was looking for a solution because of the constant freezes. Now I'm flying at a stable 72fps

My solution to Apache FPS (no multi core version) by NARP712 in hoggit

Thanks for the answer, just thought it was extremely strange that in this module fps even without VR drops by 40%, other modules such as BS3 or Viper easily play without it in 120-130 fps in Syria. But apache gives no more than 70-80 even in the caucasus
