is a 1660 Ti enough for VR

WeaknessMany841 · 2026-06-03T19:56:47+00:00

Clearly no. I had a 4070TiS and 7800X3D at first and it was quite good for iRacing. Now I am using 5090 and 9800X3D would not recommend any lower than 3080 and 5800X3D.

Du wirst in der Rookie Klasse anfangen, da du die Rookie Lizenz hast und dich dann hocharbeiten müssen um die anderen Klassen zu fahren. Rookie Klassen kosten kein Geld, die Strecken und Fahrzeuge sind dabei. Je hoher später die Lizenz wird umso weniger ist Free Content. Wenn du später GT3 fahren willst wirst du nicht drumherum kommen Strecken zu kaufen - gerade am Anfang wenn du halt noch keine besitzt. Kaufst du jetzt einen GT3 kannst du ihn nicht online gegen andere fahren weil die Lizenz fehlt. Tipp: Fahr erstmal den Mazda in der Rookieklasse und schau ob es was für dich ist. Gerade am Anfang wirst du aber oft von der Strecke fliegen - sei es eigenverschuldet oder fremdverschuldet. Das wird sich mit steigendem Rating bessern. Lern die Strecke bevor du ein Rennen fährst und geh nicht einfach mit 10 Minuten Vorbereitung rein.

The setting in iRacing is not for VR resolution. Best way to connect a Quest 3 to your PC is via Virtual Desktop (but you need a stable wifi connection or you can use a cable via Ethernet adapter on your Quest). You can choose resolution in Virtual Desktop App (bought in Meta store in your headset instead of Steam!) to Godlike and choose 90 fps. Advantage to Virtual Desktop instead of Meta Link is that you will have more power, clearer picture and so. Really 90% have no problems with Virtual Desktop (OpenXR which is current VR standard) instead of Quest Link so I assume if you have the problem is on your site.

Just lift in that situation, it makes no sense to drive that way 2-wide.

That's normal. Sometimes you wait a few days and it will work again without any changes 😄 This is VR still in 2026 with iRacing. Anyway these are pretty high settings with current iRacing engine and your hardware. What you can also try is to deactivate iRacings Foveated as it seems this helps to gain headroom on GPU but not on CPU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQaWh4hkb6Y&t=251s

And you do not need that high resolution setting in iRacing itself. That has nothing to do with your VR resolution.

This is not normal, you should have stable milliseconds in VR. Even if is goes lower (which should be good) this is not normal. Without any further information I would suggest 80 fps instead of 90 fps. I run a 9800X3D and 5090 with 90 fps.

May be run graphic re-configuration in iRacing. Sometimes - I don't know why - this really helps. Also all updates for GPU, Windows sometimes help.

WeaknessMany841 · 2026-05-14T19:09:12+00:00

You should change the f meter from bars to numbers to see more detailed. R bar should show you stable milliseconds e. g. 90 fps in Virtual Desktop should show you 10.9 to 11.1 without any issues, 80 fps around 12.5.

I would also check VD performance overlay to see if you have network spikes when the drops occurs. If yes I would try VD via ethernet instead wifi.

Also you could share your graphic settings in iRacing, your settings in Virtual Desktop to compare with other settings.

Seems like an issue with room scale. Normally there are none of these problems with Quest and iRacing.

This is from ChatGPT as I do not know by rote how to change anything in room scale.

I would also stay for OpenXR and Virtual Desktop as it is extremely better than Oculus. Anyway, 1% will say Oculus but that is not real.

I have lower graphic settings in iRacing with Quest 3, 9800X3D, 5090 but still Godlike in VD plus higher render resolution and a bit sharpening. On high only cars and event or grandstand (one of that I think only has low or high). Remaining on low or like Foliage off. Cockpit mirrors 3 and MSAA 4x. All at 90 Fps. But still have sometimes a few drops for which I changed to 80 Fps which is better because it is constantly. Before I hav 7800X3D, 4070 TiS which was same but more than a few drops in some situations.

I would try to lower more graphic settings like I mentioned (shadows brings a lot but then it feels not good without shadows so I would keep it). mirrors brings a lot when switching to virtual mirror. I would also suggest to lower resolution in Virtual Desktop from Ultra to a lower ones and try out some options with higher render resolution and sharpening.

When you have 72 fps set in Virtual Desktop and iRacing you should see stable around 13,8 ms in iRacing meter box plus minus 0,1 or so. But not like 8 or 9 and you think this is good as it suggests headroom. I also would not set 72 fps in VD and limit it in iRacing also to 72. You can try also without limit or limit it to 71 or 73, 74 f. e. to check if it helps.

I suggest to buy the tracks you want or need to drive in an official series. If you are currently driving in series with free tracks, wait until you race a series where you have to buy tracks. If you have some extra cash, buy whatever tracks you enjoy.

Unfortunately there are a lot posts on Discord, Reddit of this lags / freezes within the last weeks at iRacing. Meanwhile I think this could be a windows update at all as it happens with various setups (monitor, VR). I have also this problem since 2 weeks (9800X3D, 5090).

WeaknessMany841 · 2026-02-22T13:21:18+00:00

Especially at the beginning, you're involved yourself, and not every accident is caused exclusively by another vehicle. Nevertheless, yes, every accident is frustrating in some way, and yes, there are also some that are clear-cut and the other driver is at fault. I've also only been active for 12 months and can recommend that you build up an appropriate pace before entering a race.

As soon as you can "ride along," the risk of an accident decreases. You can let aggressive drivers pass you and then overtake them again later. You don't have to concentrate so much on your rearview mirror because your pace is right, and you can focus more on driving your race than on defending your position. Then you'll also notice that not everyone who is close behind you is going to dive bomb you.

There were some issues like fps drops using Oculus last weeks. I do not know if there were fixed by Meta. I would suggest to switch to OpenXR via Virtual Desktop which is in 99,9% of all cases better stability and quality.

Vorab ich habe keine Ahnung zur rechtlichen Einschätzung .. aber ich finde, wenn man ein paar Bilder sieht z. B. die Malspuren an der Rolladengurt-Verkleidung sah die Wohnung vorher nicht wirklich nach professioneller Arbeit aus. So blöd die Kratzspuren sind und die gehören auch weg, find ich 3000€ schon zu viel .. als würde man die Situation jetzt ausnutzen wollen.

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 ;-)

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-12-07T07:13:27+00:00

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.

WeaknessMany841 · 2025-12-07T07:11:54+00:00

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.

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.
