Absolutely! Its incredible what GT7 does! And how little faff there is! Just a shame how sony seem to have given up a bit on PSVR2! PCVR unless you have a top of the line machine requires so much effort! It is worth it though! As it is better IF you can get it working 😆
Being able to take your headset off and on like a race helmet while the game dynamically reacts and adjusts is more amazing than most people can understand.
Really appreciate you putting this video together. I used these settings and the improvements have blown my mind. It’s such a better experience is VR now! Thanks a million.
I've been racking my brain trying to get the psvr 2 to work smoothly for iRacing like i have my quest 2. AMS2 and Assetto Corsa worked great without much fussing, but iRacing was giving me so much trouble. Thank you for sharing your settings and advice finally have a better direction on getting iRacing working.
@@rickflare6893 yes I think so, although it does use up more headroom for sure. The colours of the OLED screens are much better too.. I havnt compared it to a quest 3 though....
.ini file tip - if you delete the .ini file, the next time your game is opened, a new .ini with the default settings will get created - -so don’t worry about messing it up when editing
So some of the overlays are added on OBS after recording from the headset. Yes they are from race labs, and i believe can be added to inside the headset as there is a VR mode in racelabs, i just havnt used that yet
Hi, Thank you for your explanations. Why do you set the per application resolution to 3024x3084 when the PSVR2 headset resolution is 2000x2040 ? Thank you for your answer.
Its just so i can set the resolution per game. You can do it either way, set it native to the higher number then tune it down per game if needed i think
So after setting everything up , things don’t seem right. I’m running steady frame-rates, but the VR seems very floaty. I’m constantly having to re-center my view while driving . Anyway to fix this ?
Hello. Great video👍🏼. I have a question. Do you use Iracing via the Iracing web portal or do you use Iracing via Steam? I want to get back into Iracing. I have a cold account that has been dormant for about 6 years🤣 now I want to play Iracing again with the PSVR2 and continue using my old account. However, I don't want to transfer my Iracing account to Steam and use it via the Iracing web portal like before. I'm wondering if I can make all the settings you described in Steam if I don't use Iracing via Steam. Specifically this setting that you make between 6.42 min and 6.57 min in your video. I would be happy to receive an answer.
Hey, so you can run iracing either via steam or the iracing UI, however you need to have steam vr running as that is what runs the psvr2. I have linked me account to steam, but i can run it either with or without steam, so long as steam and steam vr is running to drive the psvr2 headset. Hope that helps
@@AnAverageSimRacer-sy9vx okay. I don't want to link iracing to Steam. But I can still make all the settings from your video in the steam VR settings menu? specifically what you do between 6.42 min and 6.57 min? I'm asking because you select the iracing start file directly there
Hey, well i have linked iracing through steam, however, there should be no reason that you cant do exactly as you want because you can open iracing though the UI normally and not through steam, but as you will have steam and steam VR running in order to power the psvr2, then yes you will be able to do exactly as i do at that point in the video as that is steam VR specific settings 😁
@@AnAverageSimRacer-sy9vx OK, I understand. I can link iRacing with Steam and then play iRacing either via Steam or via the iRacing web portal/app, right? If I link iRacing with Steam, can I still buy the content like vehicles and tracks and the membership via the iRacing portal or do I always have to buy everything via Steam?
Are you running IRacing through Steam or its own launcher? I'm trying to find out if it's possible to play non Steam VR games (specifically MS Flight Sim via Gamepass) with the PSVR2.
@@AnAverageSimRacer-sy9vx If you have steamvr set to use openxr, then you should be able to use the native iracing launcher with the runtime in the iracing launcher set to openxr? I could be wrong though. I have the psvr2 arriving next week and was hoping to to transition to it from the Reverb G2, which is going to be decommissioned by Microsoft soon. I really don't want to run iracing through steam.
I got the PSVR 2 and what's happening is that when I start IRacing everything is very blurry. It's playable but it really bothers me when it's so blurry. Is there a solution to this?
Hi, do you mean that if I already used IRacing with OpenXR with Reverb G2s... is it the same to use them with my PSVR2? Without installing anything different than your video tutorial? Just having Steam open and of course having previously installed it? I'm currently super happy with my G2s, I have an RTX4090 and super optimized graphics, 90 FIXED FPS. But I've had PSVR2 for a year now and I want to try and optimize them up to 120FPS, I hope it's possible. By the way, congratulations on the work, thanks for the video, just what I was looking for. You have a new subscriber.
Hi, yes exactly that! Just open iracing through steam and then use open XR exactly as you normally would! I havnt used the reverb G2 but i would expect with having a 4090 that you will get very good results with the PSVR2 and it is at least worth a try.
That sounds like some sort of ASW set on yours, i am running it at 90hz, no way i could get a reliable 120 fps with my cpu/gpu, try 90 and see how that works
I think its a bit odd what you are doing there with the resolution multipliers in steam. Essentially what you are doing is .36 * 2.2 = 0.79 or 79%. You can achieve the same thing by setting custom resolution multiplier to 100% and global to 79% or vice versa. Theres a little confusion around PSVR2 optimal resolution setting. Normally for VR headsets the render resolution needs to be set to 1.4 times the native resolution to counter the distortion needed for VR images to render correctly on the headset. For some reason 100% in steamvr's global settings for PSVR2 is actually 1.7 x the PSVR2 native resolution. For this reason a lot of people are using 68% global resolution which is 1.4 times. I dont think you should be setting it to 36%. Just set it to 79% and your per app to 100. Mind you i have both the PSVR2 and the REverb G2. The G2 is still a better headset by all measures except blacks.
Hey, you are correct in hindsight i guess it doesn’t make much sense, although my logic was to set it low and work upwards slowly to a point per game where i am happy. But as you say above is probably simpler!
I might have to do it this way anyway - even though I have grabbed my steam key, iracing doesn't appear in my 'per application video settings'. Unless there's some other way to achieve this?
So I’ve followed your settings. My vr headset looks decent. The problem I have is that I get freezing all the time. I have a plenty powerful pc and the fpsvr shows barely any usage out of my GPU and CPU. But I get the P bar (paging) spiking and the R G T bars will spike red and my screen freezes for like 1-5 seconds and then it calms down. It just spikes randomly all the time. No clue why when it’s showing my usage as being barely anything. Any ideas?
Thanks for this video! I've just built my first gaming PC (at least, in nearly two decades) and getting set up with PC PSVR2. Same CPU as you but only running an RTX 3070 for the time being as I'm just waiting a few months before deciding on 4090 or something coming after. Any areas i should focus on winding down to get comparative performance on a lesser card in the meantime? Anyway - at 2:00 with the Nvidia control panel, would there be any penalty if I applied these settings 'per program' just for iracing? I will be playing other games on my rig and I see these could impact performance in other non-VR titles.
Hey, no issues with setting it to individual game mode in nvidia control panel, i only really play iracing on pc at the moment so it doesnt affect me! But it will work both ways, if i were you i might drop the resolution a touch and then mess with the filters to gain more performance with the 3070 probably but cant say for sure tbh, Could also reduce the size of the centre circle on the foveated rendering and the resolution of the outer circles a touch, should give you a nice bump in performance i would say! Hope that helps
Honestly, if it were me, i would run 90hz and have either more headroom or more eye candy on! I think the more headroom you have the less time you will have to spend messing with settings as you change track etc or encounter weather
Ok so I have followed this guide and it’s better than anything else I’ve tried so far. The only issue I have is that I get a lot of freezing and stuttering and it appears that the culprit is the reprojection ratio is spiking quite high. Any ideas? I have a 4070ti super and 14900kf. Feel like this shouldn’t be an issue. Any ideas?
@ unfortunately no. It does seem to be quite a widespread issue from what seeing though. So could be something went wrong in an update and only some users are effected
@ ok if you followed this and you’re still getting those, try turning off low latency mode in nvidia control panel. I guess some people can have issue with that and the turbo mode in openxr. Try just one or the other and see if it improves
@@skltr21 I did some changes to my system for me its quite a bit better. first thing i did was disable hags in windows. after that i did go into rendererDX11OpenXR.ini and changed VisibilityFrameDelay=5 to VisibilityFrameDelay=0 next thing i did was change in app.ini file showJoinLeave=1 i set to showJoinLeave=0

Hey i can't find the link to the Nvidia settings video you talk about in the video mutliple times ? thanks
Check the description, its just above my PC specs
How are you getting the standing overlay? Is that a third party app like racelabs. I can’t for the life of me of me get overlays to work.
