I thought it was 1080P per eye??.
And id also imagine that more then "a few" cuts where made to Drive Club to get it to play. That or its using fake 3D or something.
I mean the main game runs at 1080@30FPS. This now has to run at 1080@90FPS O_O .

A few cuts and a few tricks.
The prototype runs at 60fps and features a BAC Mono running a circuit race around one of the base game's India tracks. Evolution's Paul Rustchynsky explained that some optimisation has been made to get DriveClub running at 60fps - in contrast to the 30fps the base game runs at - with the car count being reduced from 12 to eight competitors, and with some trackside detail and the nuances of the weather and cloud system being dialled back. The rear-view mirrors were also disabled, though that's something that Evolution would like to address before any final release.
Following a single race, I'm pleased to say that it works, and it works well. VR's always been a good fit for racing games, and DriveClub only proves that. Being able to look to apex gives an extra layer of fidelity, and when matched with a good steering wheel - in this case Thrustmaster's T300 - it's one of the most authentic VR experiences you can get. The visual fidelity of DriveClub is largely intact, too - it's a little more sparse, but not distractingly so, and Evolution has been able to hit 60fps without the resolution taking a dive.
- DriveClub is rendering at a smooth 60fps, but the output is essentially 'upscaled' to 120fps on transmission to the VR headset. Those additional, interpolated frames are calculated based on updated sensor information supplied by the PlayStation VR headset. In effect, the game itself is running at 60fps, but the sense of movement and response looks and feels twice as smooth.
- It's a technique used by all the major VR solutions, where it's commonly referred to as 'asynchronous time-warp'. In fact, applying reprojection to all frames - not just the interpolated ones - is common too, as it ensures that the very latest positional tracking data is applied to every image beamed to the headset.
