VR Settings

[tlsmikey]

New to VR in rFactor2 and looking for some help to optimize performance. Right now i'm running 1.0PPD and med settings for most, but i'm looking for some guidance on which settings require the most horsepower so I can turn down things that don't matter and others up.

Anyone have any tips or want to share their settings?

i7-7700K and GTX1080 with Rift.

Not sure if you're link is broken or if you are just suggesting to use the search button. I'm specifically looking for rfactor2 settings with a high end pc after the latest update (which supposedly improved performance).

I can only find one post of value and it is with a lower spec machine.

Anyone else?

Looking for the same as @tlsmikey. Nobody any suggestions?

I've always used TJRSim's YouTube guides as a baseline guide for my vr settings.
Give these a try with some slight adjustments up or down depending on your GPU.

In my experience, if the CPU has more difficulty than the GPU, primarily lower or disable the shadows + lower the number of AI.

Don't forget to set texture sharpening to 3 (mipmap lod bias -1) in json file.

@Andrew_WOT were exactly is the json file?

\rfactor2\userdata\player\player.json

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\player\player.JSON"
"Texture Sharpening":3,
"Texture Sharpening#":"Sharpen textures using MIP LOD bias - 0=Off, 1=+2.0(very blurry), 2=+1.0(blurry), 3=-1.0(sharp), 4=-2.0(very sharp), 5=0.0(auto)",

@Andrew_WOT I have mind set at 5, it seems fine.
But I might try 4 just to see what it runs like
My spec is :- i7 O/C @ 4.4 and a gtx 1080, 32 gig ram

P.s. is there any way to move the hud items, I find when I'm racing in the rift s the hud items are down on my left (lap times etc) and my right (tach), I have to physically take my eyes off the road ahead to glance down mostly to my left to see times etc.

There's a nifty HUD for VR that you can download from the Steam Workshop
Works amazing: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1243928467&searchtext=SHQM

4 is too much. 3 is more than enough.

Will try too. if it is just a sharpening filter impact should be minimal no?

 

[Deleted member 197115]

It's mip map lod, there will be some impact as you have higher res textures at farther distance. Shouldn't be too bad though.

I get double vision when I play RF2 I have a Pimax 5K+ running W/10 on a I9 9700K GPU and an Nvidia 2080ti
I have tried every possible setting in the Pimax tool but still get double vision. No problems with any other game iRacing Ac PC2 ACC. Any help would be greatly appreciated I have contacted Studio 397 suppoet but they don't respond

Not a Pimax user myself but this post might lead you in the right direction:

I have answered you in the S397 forum - in both of your threads. Problems with reading?
