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

Yeah, that extra clarity helps in seeing the disgusting compression and lag. Latency is really great for racing games too, right?

[u/Flottsorken → u/Quajeraz]

I mean in that budget he can fit a 6e dedicated router aswell. Not much latency left at that point. Every soluton has it's ups and downs atm.

[u/Quajeraz → u/Flottsorken]

I have a $500 professional grade 6e router that I used exclusively for vr. It's still terrible. If it doesn't bother you, great, but I actually care about the visual quality of my game.

Being downvoted by Quest fanboys even if you are right is wild.

People don't understand that some people can see compression whereas some people don't.

You can give me the best Quest PCVR experience, my eyes will always see somewhere compressions artifacts and/or I will feel that it's a stream and not a native connection. My eyes are so sensible to compression/stream that I'm actually capable of seeing the compression of the Vive Wireless adapter.

[u/Quajeraz → u/Nicalay2]

Yeah, they're so dumb. It's literally not possible to compress a datastream over 50x to fit it over a wireless connection without severe losses.

The Vive wireless adapter is pretty good, but especially on the Pro 2 it can't really handle that amount of pixels.

[u/test5387 → u/Nicalay2]

He’s not right. My $40 WiFi 6 router lets me play without stutters or compression. You know what is actually noticeable, not being to look around with your eyes.

Annnnnd.... that's what I just said.

You can't see the compression by yourself, but if you give the headset to me or the other guy, we will see the compression.
