I drive it all year on those tires. As long as it's not wet and freezing, it's not a problem. Just give them more time to heat up. They won't perform as good until they get to about 7C/45F

HP Reverb is best VR for sim racing. Pimax 8KX could be even better, but it's not out yet.

He was wining races before he became vegan, so what does his diet have to do with performance? Nothing.

Must not watch. It's vegan propaganda, full of lies and silly anecdotal evidence that proves nothing. Just look up who sponsored and produced it.

Haha, that's a funny one. It's a decent game but a league below all those games in terms of simulation and realism, and the best looking one. So it's exact opposite of what you said.

You need to reset your seating position. Some games allow you to map it to a key or a button on a wheel like project cars.

In AC I think it's ctrl+space.

Most games don't scale with Nvlink/SLI anymore. It's technology that both Nvidia and AMD are abandoning. It's not worth it. Sell it and get a 2080Ti instead.

Yes, it's a niche technology and not exactly user friendly, so it takes some tinkering.

PC2 is easiest, it has overall best VR support. Everything should work right away.

Higher refresh rate is always desirable, but it's diminishing returns. Beyond 90Hz it's just extra comfort, it's not essential. And you need proportionally more GPU power to sustain that frame rate,...

I just checked Pimax 8KX specs, it does 3840×2160 at 75Hz, and at 90Hz when it's upscaled. That lowers the requirements slightly and 75fps may still be acceptable for most people (lower refresh rate...

The Reverb is 2160x2160 per eye, that's combined resolution of 4320x2160. UHD which your TV is using is 3840x2160.

That's 9,331,200 pixels in Reverb vs 8,294,400 in your TV, but VR tends to be...

VR is very demanding, it's even going to make 2080ti sweat. Get yourself an HP Reverb, it's 2160x2160 per eye at 90fps. That's more demanding than 4k@60. It's the best head mounted display for sim...

Be careful with the Division 2, a lot of people report crashes with DX12, so make sure to run it in DX11 for now. You also need a high quality PSU in case you've upgraded from something low end.

The risk is that you may die if you get caught out in a specific situation. Look up "moose test". Other than that it won't really make a difference, because no one drives on the limit doing errands.
