In Iracing. 72 hz vs 90 hz. I can't tell the difference

Baldbloke · 26 Oct 2024 at 22:33

I haven't used my quest 3 for best part of a year due to crappy visuals. My settings, I realise now, were terrible. Anyway, I dug it out and fiddled with the settings and finally, have a good vr image. It's now rather good and I'm enjoying Iracing.

I've set the quest 3 to 72Hz and 90Hz. Both are quite stable. I can't tell the difference visually. Gameplay seems good enough to me on either.

Does Fps make a big difference to you?

Edit: gpu 3080 ti, cpu 5800x3d.

Depends on how fast moving the game is, and even then depends on how immersed I am. I can miss a lot of interested.

It can help with nausea in some cases though.

I know that in my G2 if the frames aren't basically locked to 90FPS it feels dreadful.

I've noticed this most recently when driving in the rain.

I'm not sensitive to refresh rate,if there was a native 60Hz option I'd probably use it.

I also did not notice a difference between 72hz and 90hz. However, my PC seems capable enough of running at 90 with acceptable settings and 1.5x resolution in Quest Link app, so I just go with that.

iRacing in VR is probably the best gaming experience I've ever had. It's just amazing. I particularly love racing at the Nurburgring.

I totally agree.

I'm usually not sensitive to refresh rate and can often deal with it jumping around, but I found fixed 72hz to be noticably juddery in racing sims.

Something that never bothered me before. Now though after experiencing flawless frames you notice going backwards. When it doesn't miss a beat the sense of realism and presence just brings another level of joy. For a direct comparison there's Dirt Rally 2.0, WRC. EA's effort looks ok and for the most part runs at 90 frames, i don't subscribe to the popular opinion of rubbishing it, plays and looks fine. Hitting up DR 2.0 minutes later though just blows you away, no missed frames, the whole experience is surreal.

Well, I was happy with 72Hz. It seemed really fine to me. But in this last week my iracing in pcvr has got its knickers in a twist. I can't get any more than 59Hz for some reason. this 59Hz is really poor visually. It's like watching a shuddery, glitchy mess.

This frame drop/limit happened after I experimented with the OpenXR runtime instead of normally using Oculus runtime. Switched back to Oculus then but still got low framerate. Been trying lots of things to bring the framerate up. Still trying.

I really must learn not to fix what ain't broke.
