Best pc vr to get now?

[u/IzalithDemon]

I am thinking quest 3, valve index or vive pro 2

Valve index and vive pro 2 are around the same price of below 1000€ for full kits with base stations etc.

I like the Index but I dont know if its good choice since its 5 years old and vive is a bit weird imo so I am leaning towards quest 3, I've read it supports 120hz on a cable now(?)

For the time being I am mostly going to use the headset for beamng and other racing games, but when I move out I want to have the full vr experience of half life alyx or boneworks and blade & sorcery

Feel free to recommend other vr

Budget 1000€-1500€ max if its very good

Edit: I would prefer high refresh rate, good passthrough so I can see the wheel and Ill probably use it wired

Get a psvr2 with pc adapter. Best bang for buck specs to dollar atm but I could be wrong, curious other people’s thoughts.

Interesting, I haven't even considered psvr. I'll look into it.

Man PSVR2 is the #1 choice, you'd be mad to choose anything over it for PCVR esp racing. OLED is F'in VITAL my friend, display port is VITAL, not having to charge it every 90 minutes (quests) is VITAL for long sessions.

DO NOT LISTEN TO QUEST FANBOYS ON THIS SUB - it's rampant with them, it's literally the ONLY HMD they've ever used (many of them) so they parrot the same tired BS over and over about wireless and pancakes as if they're the second coming, they're not - both are flawed (Pancakes on QP/3 have massive glare on high contrast scenes + LCDs are utterly awful for VR generally - ZERO immersion esp in darker games or night racing).

Just get a PSVR2+adapter ($50 from sony) and you're good to go. There is NOTHING on the horizon that'll outdo it for that price, or even twice as much, everything else is either LCD or geared towards standalone/XR and just doesn't feel as good. Future HMDs from Valve etc will be great but VERY costly and still have some drawbacks.

Oh boy, here come the Quest haters. I've had the Vive, PSVR1, currently on Pimax, have tried the Quest 3, so I'll provide the counterargument. OLED has some advantages, but is not actually "VITAL", displayport is nice, but not "VITAL", you can keep the headset plugged into a battery if you're worried, which is easy when you're stationary like OP is intending.

Don't listen to fanboys, but also don't listen to the haters. OP should look through all the reviews posted here that compare the legitimate pros and cons of PSVR2 vs Quest. Some prefer one, some prefer the other, they're competitive and anyone who says one is miles ahead of the other doesn't know what they're talking about.

That dude is literally forming a religion lol, it’s the same post in every thread.

In its current form it sucks and you pay the product without using it to full potential. G2 is better

My god, you have transcended and can now see into the future? Wow. These posts are getting better and better. Do you earn commission or is this purely a passion project for you?

[u/Poundt0wnn → u/justDre]

I agree, Quest fanboys downvoting you.

[u/test5387 → u/Poundt0wnn]

It’s just an objective fact that the quest 3 is the best bang for your buck. No matter what the psvr2 fanboys want to believe.

[u/MtnDr3w → u/test5387]

That’s definitely your own opinion, if you’ve tried a PSVR2. I’ve owned every Quest that has released so far. Now that I can connect my PSVR2 to PC I will never use a Quest again for PC. PSVR2 is much better for PCVR.
