Thanks to Pimax making a mistake in their UI I now have an excuse to do ANOTHER Dynamic Foveated Rendering Video checking out every setting. It also let me check out how noticeable the artifacting is since some people wanted recommendations on which setting to use.

I wish more people outside the flight sim community gave this the attention it deserves.
