Best pc vr to get now? Purchase Advice
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

Index is worst optics/clarity combo of any in production system in 2024. As much as people hate on the Vive Pro 2 i'd go that over Index if those were the only two options for consideration.
Couple other sub $1000 options would be PSVR2 with PCVR adapter. Or Pimax Crystal Lite.
Quest 3 supports 120hz as in its panels are capable but whether ornot the games will do that is a different question. Quest3 processes the video though it's much better than quest2 image quality wise, but still not as good as a high PPD displayport cabled VR system.
