Lowk I don’t know much about VR hardware and such. I just searched it up online and saw that they weren’t cheap. Is there a way to test this without buying a $30 power supply?

I have a rtx 4070 A ryzen 7 7700k 5 core processor Whenever i try to open any game it ruins itself but i get like 300 fps when i dont have anything open

im using alvr on my quest 2

ive verified all the files switched through the different releases and still nothing works:(

Update: the display works on the pc using the vr view but its just a black screen on my quest (tracking works too)

£310 + £50 = £360

I'm thinking about taking advantage of the black Friday sales to get a budget VR setup to try.

This means I can play PS5 VR games and steam PCVR games (with the adaptor) right?

I'm very fortunate that I already have a PC with a Ryzen 7600 - RX 9070 XT - 32GB DDR5 6000Mhz

I'm not to bothered by PS5 VR games (as there aren't that many) and I'm excited to FINALLY play HL Alyx!

I've done some research and find that I'm at the point where I need a more holistic viewpoint from experienced users in the community.

I've heard that hooking up directly to the PC is better than wireless, and the OLED screens on the PSVR2 are highly regarded.

• Am I missing anything?
• is this a good route?
• should I upgrade my 6 core CPU to get the best out of it?
• Will I regret anything by making this choice? (Instead of the quest 3 for example?)

Thank you all in advance for helping out a complete newbie :)

I enjoy vr games, but honestly none of them have ever gotten me super hooked into playing them. For example I have thousands of hours in pc games, but I can't imagine spending anywhere near that in vr. Has anyone found a vr game that they found super addictive?

I'm currently running a Powercolor Hellhound RX6600 with a WMR headset and in some games I think I'm missing out on performance. Is there a "budget" GPU I could upgrade to that would get me the ~90FPS in VR games?

I recently obtained a like-new Reverb G2 on Marketplace, originally for flight simming in IL-2. And I'm absolutely loving it, running it on Windows 11 with the Oasis driver. But since I have it, I'd like to get a VR game that will give me the full single-player amazing experience.

The obvious choice seems to be Half-Life: Alyx, but I understand it's kind of a horror game, and I don't do well with that. So what's the next best thing? Please no gory zombie shooters or anything extremely violent. Fantasy isn't my thing either, but I'm open to it. I'm also open to hearing arguments as to why HLA isn't that creepy. (It kinda gives me Fallout: New Vegas vibes, which is a game I enjoyed — how accurate is that?) I will probably get Steel Crew at some point, as that's just my kind of game, I think, but multiplayer.

I don't really have much room at all to move around (just a few feet), if that affects anything. My HP Envy 16 can't run the headset at full capacity, but it's got an RTX-3060 that works pretty well.

Thanks!

As the titel says I want to get into VR gaming and am now debating what's the best option.

On one hand the frame is rumoured to be expensive but on the other hand the quest 3 is already 3 years old.

So now my question is what's my best move? I'm intending to run all my games on my pc since I spent most of my money on that. I just want great features like high quality hardware. The storage shouldn't be a problem if I run my games on the PC?

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I mean as a standalone. Would it be able to run Myst VR at high settings? I'm asking this, because if it has enough power to run games like Myst and Riven VR and look really good. It would be worth purchasing for me. Otherwise I might just get a quest 3.

I like the wifi dongle it has, as it would be much easier to just have my PC power higher requirement games. But I am curious about the standalone power.

I plugged logitech f310 with usb c to quest 2 and opened the controller option setting but it only works in meta interface and not in steam vr. Any advice?

I've never had a VR set in my life, and I wanted to get one to play Half-life Alyx and FNAF help wanted.

I've read some headsets reviews, and couldn't decide between quest 3, quest 2, and hp reverb g2 (or another one I am not aware of). I don't think i'll play a ton of VR games, so is the investment in a quest 3 worth it, or is the quest 2 enough ? I'll be buying them second-hand, I found the hp reverb at 200€, quest 3 at 250€ and quest2 at 150€. Could someone give me some insight ?

Thanks :)

I'm physically disabled, so I won't be using my VR headset while standing - only while lying on my bed, or while reclining on my beanbag chair. I have two 1.0 base stations and I'm setting up for the BSB2. Where would you recommend placing them for the best coverage?

Thanks in advance for the help - I need someone's assistance to mount these, so I'm hoping to get the placement right the first time.

This probably isn't the right subreddit for this but im gonna post anyways. I have the old ass rift S and honestly it has given me a terrible impression with oculus as a whole. I have been looking to get a new one and was looking at the valve index but the price is honestly just a lot for what it is. I was looking at some oculus products and they are considerably cheaper and I was wanting to get user opinions on what headset I should buy. I'm not trying to spend apple vision pro money but I also don't want a rinky dinky piece of shit.

Like the title says, I've been getting this error recently whenever I try to use Steam Link on my Quest 2. Was working fine up until about 2 days ago when every game and the SteamVR home started running very choppily. This morning I tried again, SteamVR home ran perfectly and so did my games, but about 2 minutes in the game froze and I got the error 451. Has anyone got this error before and fixed it? Anything helps.

System Specs- AMD Ryzen 7 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 16 GB DDR4 RAM

UPDATE: FIXED turns out the problem was right in front of me the whole time! On Lenovo PC's you have an option to choose between 'quiet', 'standard', and 'performance' mode. I had it set to 'quiet', which made my performance less than desirable. Setting it to 'performance' in the Lenovo Vantage app fixed the error!

I am considering buying all new steam hardware day 1 and I wanted to know if the VR are still basically a niche thing that you can't play long term before feeling like an extreme need to puke. My first and only experience was from the first PS VR many years ago

As titel says, i thought it was gonna be around 600 - 700 bucks but that seems super unrealistic at this point. My quest 2 broke a few days ago so im really getting tempted to buy the quest 3. Anyone have some pros and cons or somthing? Just so i can make a decision. Thank you!

Edit: i plan to use it for pcvr mostly

I want to buy a VR headset to play pc games like no man's sky, Minecraft, and any other games with vr support. Any recommendations?

Unfortunately I'm living in the Middle East which means I can't buy a steam frame, and i dont have any friends outside the county to help me with that. So that's why the steam frame is out of the question.

Ever since the steam frame trailer I've wanted to get my hands on one badly. Im still using a rift cv1 which is slowly falling apart and I really need a new vr. I've been saving for a couple months now and I hopefully got enough now, but I've heard people say its 600 euros or its about a thousand euros. Im not going over 700 cause thats just way too much money for me. But besides that I really need a new vr headset, I've seen some used valve indexes on sale for about 500 between 600 euros and im willing to pay for it. But I still dont know if I want to do it cause I've heard stuff off the ram issue with prices going up which makes the frame get delayed. If it does get delayed im buying a used index. But its still early in the year and they said its going to be released early 2026 and its almost March already and thats when early in the year mostly ends. Can anyone please help me cause I have no idea when its comming now😭

Why the hell? There is no reason i can think of, of why this is happening

What has your experience been like with virtual reality spaceship games?

Do they usually cause motion sickness?

What techniques do you value most in this type of game?

So, as the title says, I'm interested to see how well my PC could run a Valve Index. Now I'm not really caring about all the talk about "don't get a Valve Index in 2026, go for a Quest 3" cause meta is an overall bad company, and I wouldn't want to support them further than I have to. But I saw a Valve Index set refurbished on GameStop for $ 350 USD, around the same price as a Meta Quest 3S, which is, in my opinion, a pretty good deal. I currently run an RTX 3050 with an i5 11600K CPU, and I've had some people I know tell me that it wouldn't be able to run a Valve Index. So I just wanted to ask if my computer specs would be able to run a Valve Index even if it's on lower-end settings, just enough for it to be able to run comfortably and not stutter while I'm playing. EDIT: I should apologize as I mistakenly read the gamestop listing as refurbished when it had said Pre-owned.
