I had the 8700k from those times till this year and it was a mind blowingly significant upgrade. A lot of vr titles were unplayable for me because of steamvr overhead(it's really crap when you use non valve headsets). F1 23 went from a stutter fest to locked 90.
Although in case of f1, the devs were at fault too because the game is broken with extreme stutter unless you can lock to the refresh rate
Steamvr isn't causing your stuttering.
It does. There's a reason opencomposite is so widely adopted on wmr, pimax and oculus headsets. Using steamvr with wmr for example, the shim layer copies the framebuffer and causes a large increase in vram usage as well as cpu usage.
Although in particular case of f1 23 the game itself also causes issues outside of locked refresh rate
