Question Is there any known plugin for foveated rendering?

[astronomy21]

The headset I'm using has eye tracking module and it can offer foveated rendering.
So in theory if any client has support for the interface, fps might suffer much less (20%?)

I'm pretty sure there are none, however, typically the FPS is mostly affected by the CPU. It's worth trying to reduce the resolution only but keep physics settings high and see how much it helps and how much FPS you would really save. Foveated rendering makes lot of sense in GPU-intensive games (Detroit, etc.) less CPU-intensive ones (VaM).

That’s an interesting point, although my hunch with reducing the resolution would help noticeably.
I might need some proper preparation for the test first. Thanks for the reply and will get back here.

Any updates on this? on high res headsets(2*4k) it is absolutely not cpu bound

No. And no matter what headset you have, VAM is still very much CPU bound.
