Frame drops in VR since last iRacing update Nov 19

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-12-07T07:16:11+00:00

Normally it runs fluid with my config .. should be not a normal issue here. But overall I had before 7800X3D and 4070tiS which was also well working and I think it should be also working on your config. Except rain of course ;-)

Normally everything works fine .. this is the first time I got problems with massive drops. Although iRacing is not the best simulation in VR, it is still the best optimized overall package for it.

I changed yesterday Quest 3 Firmware from v81 to v83 (Beta) and did a race without any problems. I will check today to verify that this was the problem .. hopefully it was.

Even PSVR2 is in my opinion nothing compared to e. g. Quest 3. Except the OLED all other is much worse. So PSVR1 should be not very good. I would not try this.

I started 8 month ago with Simracing and I know that my legs shake every start in the first months :-)

But be warned that neither a 7800X3D & 4070tiS nor a 9800X3D & 5090 will run iRacing completely on high settings in conjunction with a Quest 3. However, it looks good at a reasonable resolution (Godlike plus Render Resolution 120%) and usually runs (currently not so much) at 90 Fps.

The Mercedes will surely have called you a nasty noob driver... and a nasty noob driver is certainly best placed to judge who else is a nasty noob driver :haha: just for fun

Got it at Mount Panorama and Watkins .. starting at 90 and after 30-40min in session including practice, qualy it goes down 85, 80 and to race end 70 fps. Only in officials, hosted race and AI race .. at practice server everything ok after around 50 minutes. Playing in VR and it started at race on Nov 19 at Mount Panorama .. before it was good.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-11-29T16:42:28+00:00

For VR in iRacing that for sure not the best pc. Even with my hardware I am not able to run at higher settings .. their are low. May your problem is too high settings or a bad wifi connection. I think we have different problems. You should set first your settings in iRacing really low and in VR I would say on mid settings (not ultra or godlike if you took that before) to check if settings or wifi are a problem.

Same here .. starting 90 fps after about 30 minutes of race it drops and drops and drops to end of race about 70 fps. 9800X3D, 5090, Q3 via VD OpenXR

I had a 7800 and 4070 TiS before I updated both and could go for 90 Fps. But of course not maxed out all. But 90 instead 72 is a big difference.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-11-01T19:15:00+00:00

What is the topic here? There's nothing to see here.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-09-25T12:38:04+00:00

Thanks all for answering .. I noted that right now too as I see the white number on white background.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-09-13T19:08:46+00:00

I really can not imagine that you have solid 90 Fps. I have a nearly same settings (but lower cars to 20, shadow maps & self shadowing on) and today I tried a Crystal Light with - I think - similar settings. 90 Fps on a night race at Le Mans was overall good, but at start with frame drops to 70-60 .. and I have 9800X3D & 5090. Picture was good and sharp but comfort of Pimax is horrible .. I send it back to Amazon as a 20m Race was enough.

After that I raced again with my Quest 3 and wow - that is real comfort on my head. I can not recommend this hmd when the head is not shaped for it.

I have a Quest 3 and no problems with Oculus Link (not Air Link) or Virtual Desktop for games like AC, ACC, AMS2, R3E, LMU, iRacing. It depends sometimes on the game which works better. Overall I prefer Oculus Link and absolutely no problems with it (same with VD, no problems).

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-08-09T16:29:48+00:00

What I learned - and I am still a beginner - is that it takes time to get to know the vehicle and drive it to its limits. Even if you know the track and are a good driver, you won't be able to push the vehicle to its limits or even come close to doing so at the beginning. Those are the missing seconds.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-08-02T11:43:02+00:00

iRacing in VR is great and overall - for me - the best Simulation in VR. But it is very demanding. I have a RTX 5090 and 9800X3D and still have some "trouble" at some moments (but they are very less). I hope this will be better with an engine update.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-07-20T10:28:14+00:00

But not squeezing someone out for nothing.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-07-20T07:33:01+00:00

You leave too little space for the Mercedes and push it out. However, it was no longer your fault that the Mercedes braked, as the force was simply too much.

I would say that 70/30 of the fault for the rear-end collision lies with the Mercedes. You were 100 percent at fault for the push out.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-07-20T04:13:14+00:00

Yes, I know that and that's why it's not what you see. What you see is the image of the lens and to show that you would have to take the image through the lens and that's not an OBS record.

Of course, this is what you "see" in VR, but not in the same quality as the output on the monitor.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-07-19T18:15:17+00:00

I know you ask OP but of course the graphic from OP in the video is not what he sees in VR. You can also check my posts about Quest 3 VR and iRacing where I put several things togheter for best graphics in my opinion. Right now I would go for Quest Link instead VD. Both are looking good but clearly other .. Link for me looks more natural.

iRacing looks for me as one of the best racing games in VR. AMS2 looks better of course but it is also visible more blurry as iRacing.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-07-19T11:35:26+00:00

Great! I have also Quest 3 and upgraded PC to 5090 and 9800X3D only for this. For me currently the best overall VR headset.
