I have similar problem. In Assetto Corsa and rFactor 2 I get 90 no problem so it's specific to pCars 2. That link to a guide is no help at all I only get 30fps with those settings.

[Wybrem]

ye it's the game sadly, got project cars 1 for 3 bucks maybe thats better.

From research it maybe can be fixed. Something to do with motion smoothing and/or Asynchronous Reprojection settings but not sure how or where to set these yet.

yee than it's 45fps, that's terrible, i tried that they say it looks like 90 but it doesn;t.

lower the field of view to lowest setting. This does not affect the vr view.

After getting the motion smoothing sorted out and using your tip with the FOV I have had really good racing in VR at 3168x3096 with my new HP Reverb G2 headset. It is this headset that has really brought me away from my triple screens. The Samsung headset was OK but I didn't use it a lot but now I am a real convert to VR and the pCars2 visual experience and performance even in the rain is now pretty damn good

Please share what you did. I have the g2 and a 3080 and this game, dirt 2 and elite dangerous are giving me trouble. What did you change in game and what is you resumption slider set to in steam at the global and the application level? Thank you so much for the help!

In SteamVR Dashboard select WMR for Steam Settings then Graphics settings for Motion Reprojection Mode. I set this to AUTO which allows high graphics settings at 45fps, but the 45fps is actually OK if reprojection ratio is low (,15-20% maybe) (use fpsVR to see this) I then tuned all Project Cars 2 performance settings to get what I wanted at 45fps with low reprojection settins. I like all the graphics to be as high as possible as I like a good looking result.
I use 100% general in the steamVR and 100% in the application specific setting to give the 3168x3096 resolution.
I can't remember the specific settings in PCars 2 Performance settings and I'm sorry but I am back racing on triple screens at the moment.
To be honest I have been so busy getting the HP ReverbG2 set up for all the sims that I haven't documented what I did very well.

Hope this helps.

My issue is that in FPSVr the game just jumps around 50-60 FPS. I see it is reprojecting around 40% of the time but shouldn't it look smoother with all that reprojection? If you could provide some settings guidance I would really appreciate it! I can relate to the setup headaches. On day 7 for me and I haven't enjoyed this headset at all trying to get all this stuff sorted out. Thank you so much!

[Travis]

When it is suggested to lower the FOV to the lowest setting, what setting is that an what should I set it to? I cannot seem to find it in the performance area.

[Mahjik]

I don't know why this would affect VR, but typically the FOV is in the Camera settings.

I ended up with about 30% reprojection which seems smoothe to me. I only tested with 14 opponents as this is typically the number I race against. I just set pCars2 performance settings to lowest and worked on each one until it degraded too much then worked on next setting etc.etc.

Can you make sure that nowhere are you limiting the framerate. For example did you set a framerate limit in launch settings and have forgotten you did it. I know have done this with a sim sometime in the past and it has caused me frustration.

[Travis]

I have not set a limit I can find. Fresh install of the game....
