It's probably a little early to come to a definitive conclusion on VR performance but it's certainly better than it was. I'm getting some weird graphical issues though I'm not really sure what's causing them. I found someone who posted their settings on a 2070S so I'm going to give them a try as they should be pretty close on my 2080. I still don't think it will be great sadly, there seems to be something about ACC that just means it doesn't run as well as other games.
As for the other updates in this patch, I'd seen some comments about overheating tyres and they're sensitivity to pressure. However a quick race around Spa using the default aggressive setup I didn't have any problems except when I spun but the less said about that the better.
