Hello, all fellow SIMRacers! Today I would like to announce (if not known already) that YES you can race in VR with an NVidia GTX 1050Ti. You can eve race with good quality and ZERO frame stutter.
VR is not where it could be right now. Maybe it is my graphics card. The details from about 100ft in front of the car become blurry but you can still bang around the track pretty well. It is certainly not as easy as I thought it would be.
I am not a claustrophobic man but that Huracan is like racing in a coffin with windows. The Ferrari has a larger interior. Believe it or not the Bentley is pretty tight inside. The Porsche is like sitting in a warehouse =o).
Watching my replays in VR was pretty cool too. It was like I was in the crowd but had VIP access to the edges of the track and private spectator boxes.
So, just to summarize and give hope to us plebes who cannot drop $1500 usd on a GPU, there is hope. Right now my card goes for $180 usd

I'll be replacing my card with the EVGA GTX 1660Ti when it arrives this Saturday. Who knows maybe things will sharpen up in the cockpit. Now I am eager to try flight simulators in VR. I'm definitely going to do some F3 in RRE. I already tried GT4. Vr seems to work a lot better in RRE just FYI. It's a lot sharper.
