I've been using a Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop and a wifi 5 router with zero issues. I love the freedom of being able to walk around my entire house and section off an area as a play space.. even my garage. I'm not sure i could ever go back to a wired experience unless it was dedicated to a SIM rig of some sort. I do have a Samsung Odyssey collecting dust that i could use for that but i haven't. I feel like my only upgrade path is the Quest 3 until something better comes along. I think I'll wait to see what Valve comes out with. I'd love to see a hybrid VR hmd / Handheld.. basically a Steam Deck that could strap on your face. It would have to be much lighter and probably ARM based. Pimax made one already i think |

It does seem really cool though. --- End quote --- It is very, very difficult for me to be relaxed enough to enjoy VR. Anything with humans or humanoids trying to kill me is 100% out of the question. I can appreciate Resident Evil and Far Scape on a technical level, but cannibals eating me or Martian spiders ripping my face off are things I don’t need to experience again. Astro Bot is great and I’ve nearly finished it. Trevor Destroys the Universe is a little too much “pine cones up my butthole” humor but was interesting. Another one I need to finish. |

I never really liked Quest 2, I understood what they were trying to do but the overall experience was not up to my satisfaction. Quest 3 works on almost every level. Look how cheap it is now on black friday for like $435 you can buy the quest 3 and all the necessary accessories.

--- Quote from: RandyT on November 29, 2024, 01:52:16 pm ---But PC connection opens up tons more gaming possibilities. Didn't you say you had a go fast GPU at one point? Which one? A 2080 would be enough to get you going, and it already has the plug and play port for the headset. With one of those, you would just need a compatible BT dongle and the free software from Steam. --- End quote --- GeForce RTX 3090. Had to boot it up and look that up. The only thing I use it for is browsing eBay and testing ROMs before I burn them. |
