VR is a blast and very performant, even with a RTX 3070 OC

In many reviews I read that DR 2 VR is a system hog. Compared to the also fantastic Project Cars 2 this game may have, but only a little less FPS, with comparable settings.
But together with PC2 the VR experience in DR 2.0 is out-of-this-world.
With default settings I got +70 FPS, Ultra - 4 MSAA - 16 AF only around 38 (so better have a faster GFX card if you want this best setting. However, even the default settings DR 2.0 offers, IMHO, superb IQ.
Of course ... YMMV.

Yeah, I'm having a blast with DR2 in VR (Oculus Rift, 1080 Ti). Blows me away every session. Absolutely brilliant!

VR performance is very bad in this game..... hard cpu side performance

this game could use alot of optimization and steering input tweaking.

BUT, its fun nonetheless

Optimization : DR 2.0 will no longer be further optimized AFAIK.
But you can simply use and this works wonders with DR 2.0 :
FSR (nvidia and AMD GFX cards):

I got a 10 FPS boost.
I now get +50 FPS on DR 2.0 Ultra settings MSAA 4x and 16x AF -- 2734x2734 resolution (in SteamVR SS 1.0)
Of course YMMV

50 fps is yet too low. Achieve the 60 FPS minimum master race by lowering your video definitions a bit.
In your case, I see your "16x AF" cant you change it to 8 or lower? i think you also should change ur resolution to 1920x1080 or lower. Also, you dont need Shadows on Ultra. Medium or high is fine, and such other configurations can also be lowered without real disadvantage. You will still get a beautiful gameplay.

This works for all games. 1920x1080 is pretty good and just adapt to that. Or lower, just keep those FPS up =)

Thank you Ayyoue. I fully agree, 50 FPS is too low for sure. I now lowered settings to get to 60 FPS. If I go anylower the game looks awfull. This is one of those VR games that would benefit from a very fast GFX card to turn up all settings to maximum.
