You're insane. Your PC is great by GAF standards and absolutely trounces the PS4. Unless this is a stealth brag post.
GTAV is intensive with SLI Titan X's. Turn down the ultra in that game.

So the shadows are working for you? They appear non-stereoscopic here.

Hmmm, tempted to try the PS4 version
980 you sure? 980M? Weird. Go with the one you think you'll be happiest with.
Pcars isnt GTA V, and nor do many other games behave like GTA V.
Well, the ISR XBone video above shows calibration settings, but I'm not getting those options with my GT2 on PS4. I'm guessing the official TM wheels show up fine though.
I can assure you its not, hate those with a passion. I know the 980 is a good card, and i've a nice amount of RAM, but i've had that processor for about 3 years now, which is a lifetime in pc gaming, so I assume its pretty slow compared to newer ones and possible causing a bottleneck. I'm no tech guy though, so I could be way off the mark.

Your CPU will be fine in most situations.
Considering the PS4 version isn't free of frame drops either, go for the clear IQ advantage on PC. You won't regret it.
Something is wrong with your computer. My 2500k@4.5Ghz and 970@1550/7900 runs GTA V on almost max settings (except supersampling, grass and some other really demanding stuff). Looks and plays just great. So does Project Cars on mostly ultra running at 1080p. My fps is fluctuating between 70 and 90.

Games are rarely CPU bound, so your config should work just fine. I have a GPU that's a fair bit worse, and a CPU that's a fair bit better (i5 3570 and GTX780), I get 60FPS in most cases at high/very high settings. Lowest I've ever seen was 30FPS at the back of a 36 car race in night+rain. It'll always be playable but you'll have to configure it to your ideals and specs.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend. Is it a K processor? If so you need to overclock it. It's only marginally slower than even the most current i7 out. It would make sense that GTAV dips frequently; it's rending tons of foliage, people, cars, and AI at times. Project CARS won't be nearly as demanding.
In any case, this game is going perform leagues better than the PS4 version. If you have any doubt, just remember that this game was developed on PC for PC and ported everywhere else.
No worries mate.
I've dabbled with overclocking but kept getting Bsod's so decided to stop before I blew up something!!
But does it work fine without calibration? Anything in particular that you wanted to tweak? From your impressions, it sounds like the game is fun with the fanatec wheel out of the box.

Are you finding the VR implementation much different than, say, six months ago? I'd imagine at the very least performance has improved.
Eh, I have the same setup and both GTA5 + pCars run amazing. You need to know which settings to lower without affecting visual quality too much. I haven't even felt the need to severely o/c my CPU. (It has a very mild o/c of 4Ghz.)

My wife's i7-920(much older than your processor) still does fine on most games she plays. It was my cpu until I upgraded to a 4770k last year and I had no issues playing every new release with it when it(i7-920) was paired with a 780@1080p/60fps. Your cpu is more than average, especially if you put a nice little overclock on it.
I have not noticed any improvements.
You're probably mistaking how start works. You're penalised if you cross the line before the green light, not when you start moving. in road cars and lower GTs you better start accelerating well before the green light.

Does anyone else find it bizarre to see the line "I don't have a mega PC" and then read "i7 2600 @ 3.4Ghz, 16gb ram, GTX980" - i mean that is very clearly a mega PC. When someone says they don't have a mega PC, you expect to see midrange gear or similar, you don't expect to see double the ram most people have in a gaming PC and one of the fastest single GPU's on the market
Get the PC version mate, your PC will eat the game for lunch and give a much better looking/performing game over the PS4 version (remember, the PS4 version has drops in FPS and ghosting under certain conditions).
I may have to pull out the Oculus DK2 and try CARS again. I stopped using it waiting on direct mode, but it sounds like there's at least beta support for direct mode.
Reading other posts, navigating menus may still be a pain, and it sounds like shadows may still need disabled? I'm still happy if it works decently in direct.

Loving it so far. Won the first kart Championship. Those little bastards can be twitchy. Many times I wished for a rewind feature.
The settings someone posted earlier helped - so thanks for that.
On to the 250cc ones.
I clicked end season by accident and missed an invitation race. Gutted about that.

What are some nice T300 settings for force feedback. Default sucks monkeyballs. I wonder if it's the same for PS4 users.
I think maybe i'm reading too many threads where people are going craaaazy and sticking loads of Titans together and i'm thinking thats the way PC gaming is going - which it clearly isn't as i'm sure most of us couldn't afford one Titan let alone 2/3!!
My RAM and processor are years old so I assume my rig is dated, my 980 is new however as my previous card conked out on me.
Just loaded up Steam to check the price on the game and the store isn't working !

I'm still getting the stuttering that I was getting in the weekly builds.
It is, and there are plenty of other calibration options in other parts of the (rather clunky and illogical) UI, but it'd be nice to set things like the clutch bite point and have access to the additional FFB settings. I'm sure it'll soon be patched though.
If you have a Fanatec wheel you have no reason to be concerned - it works great, easily as well as in FM, GT, Assetto Corsa, GTR2, Race Pro, Shift 2 etc.

Remember, GMG has a 23% off discount, so you can get it for a lot cheaper than Steam via GMG and it is a Steam key.
Tried the adjustments?
Yep-disable the shadows and you will have to work your way around the menus in the rift without them displaying properly but it's well worth the effort.Just stay in first person view as some of the outside views don't headtrack.
EDIT
irect mode doesn't work for me-used extended mode and it works.Nice one, quite a decent little saving there.
I'm looking for them. Everything is set to zero and there is some shit middle deadzone and spring.

It appears to be worse on my system - shadows never used to work - it looked fine but a bit flat, but now they're in, but they're not showing up in stereo 3D - it's like they're on a separate 2D plane. It's a causing a load of weird dithering in the distance too. And now the exposure is all wrong (similar to AC's problem).
What model? Does it have physical on-wheel adjustment? My GT2 does, not sure what other models do.
Are you getting the wheel calibration screen in-game (with FFB adjustment, pedal calibration etc)?
The SMS render team said it requires -vrdirectmode to use the beta direct support. They also suggest -skipcrowds.Yep-disable the shadows and you will have to work your way around the menus in the rift without them displaying properly but it's well worth the effort.Just stay in first person view as some of the outside views don't headtrack.
EDIT
Ive only had a small time to compare, but its hard to explain, PCars feels almost lazy and normalized, whereas AC feels sharp and crisp and specific on the FFB side.

At what settings are you trying to run GTA V with? My 780 and 3570k gets me 60fps pretty much most of the time with a mix of ultra and very high settings. Its interesting though how you get higher framerates in the mountains than in the city. For me, the outside areas were way more demanding until I dropped the setting for grass.
Your PC is definitely in the upper end department with that CPU and GPU. There is like 0 reason to go with the console version (unless the PC version somehow ended up being extremely buggy)
I'm comparing Monza back to back and the difference is night and day at the moment. Project CARS is like racing on clouds on strips of track I know to be shitty and bumpy, this is also recreated in Raceroom. But I'm not getting any feeling in CARS, I'm cranking up the z axis on the wheel and it's not having an impact. The car should be getting squirely under breaking.
I'm going to give up for the night till someone over at Racedepartment does the work to find out why there is a deadzone and centre spring I can't disable.
I forget the exact settings, I first tried it at recommended setting (via the nvidia experience thingy) which put a lot of things on high and some ultra, I dialed that down to mostly medium with some low or even off and for the most part I get 60fps.
Just went to buy this of GMG, its asking me for my Playfire password to verify my account - I don't have a password for whatever Playfire is and without one I can't login to GMG.
I've had this conversation before.
Using -vrdirectmode didn't work for me.It makes the game go into rift mode with the screen split but it only shows on the monitor-the DK2 light stays orange and it doesn't turn the rift screen on.

My impression of the pre-programmed wheel behavior in Project CARS is that they mostly follow the philosophy of trying to replicate the feeling the steering wheel in a reel car (where you don't have to fight to turn it more than 30° and the things the wheel does on it's on comes from road-tyre-steering-feedback). Haven't played AC, but in Forza for example it's more of the philosophy to give you more feedback through the wheel than would be natural to compensate for the missing sensations (like g-forces and sudden changes).
Shouldn't be a problem with gigantic list of FFB-options in PCARS to tailor it to your personal needs (should they ever patch-in better explanations of what options changes what).

Quoting myself for context. In his latest video, VVV mentioned that controller support feels better on PS4 than Xbone. Hopefully this means it'll feel better than it does on PC. I managed to find some pretty good settings, but some cars still feel like they require a wheel.
Just did a PC Benchmark test with MSI Afterburner with everything turned up to Max on PC. Had the circuit weather speed turned up so you get a mix of everything.
