Specs needed for VR

Hey Simon. I have a 2070S too with the HP Reverb G1. I struggle to get 90fps in ACC with everything turned down to a minimum.
Part of the problem is due to the number of pixels in the G1 - it's almost equivalent to two 4K screens
I have used motion interpolation to effectively reduce the fps to 45 and it's usable. I also tried running at 60fps, but the headset produces a funny flicker that I found too distracting.
What headset are you thinking of buying? You might be ok with a lower res one, but I think then you need to use super sampling to get a better image quality so you would probably be back to square one.

I think the Rift S runs at 80hz, so along with the lower res you should get reasonable performance. I'm not so sure about the quality, but I came to the PC from using the PSVR which is a lower resolution and I was still impressed by the immersion even though the image was pretty blurry.
The nausea can be a problem. Some things I can recommend:
1. don't try and push through it - stop immediately if you feel odd and try again later - you tend to build up your VR legs gradually
2. find the setting to lock the horizon (this stops your view bouncing around with the car)
3. try using a fan to keep an airflow over your face
4. close your eyes if you spin!
I can definitely recommend it. I actually bought the PC purely so I could race with VR. It's all a bit quirky though, so you might need a good chunk of patience to get everything working just right

I ran a CV1 with a 1080 none ti and 3900x with reasonable settings so you should be fine. There's no real difference between a 3700x and 3900x for ACC either. Check out the VR setting files from @Andrew_WOT here: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/share-your-vr-graphic-settings.160409/post-3294633 they will make a big difference getting everything running well.

The Rift S with optimised settings should reach 80fps and look decent on your pc, don't expect monitor sharpness though.
Rely on ASW to render at 40fps and you'll have a very good experience with Oculus headsets. WMR/SteamVR headsets struggle a bit more with reprojection. Here's some recommended settings for a config similar to yours:
I just got a 3060ti, set the in-game VR setting to the 'high' defaults and it looks and runs terrible.
Further messing is required. I shall try some of other custom configs. The game just looks really flat, it doesn't seem to have same VR depth other stuff has somehow. Brands Hatch at 8AM in AMS2 looks wonderful, this just looks like Rfactor2.
Oh well I will mess with some settings.
