yeah the 7000 series 3d chips are easily a multi gen equivalent upgrade over the 5000 3d chips, and i say this as a 5800x3d owner. unleashing the full power of extra cache and the full ipc of these chips is jsut awesome. hopefully next 3d chips have even more cache.
probably more than that honestly.
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
