Question What hardware do you use for VR ?

I tested the Vive Pro 2 for 3 weeks, the image is very clear but the field of view is not much better than a Quest 3 which I tested for a while. Otherwise you can perhaps wait a little longer, Pimax has just announced two new headsets, the Crysal Super (29.5 Mpx) and the Crytal Light (16.6 Mpx), I wonder what graphics card it will take to run this , unless their eye tracking system is at the top.

yeah i followed the pimax news as well. very interesting ...for me the pimax crystal was total nonsense insead of Clarity and stuff ... all the standalone crap and first of all the mandatory battery was the absolute NOGO of this product for me ... heavy, to many nonsense thingies on it ...the light and the super is what they had to release back then .... but even the crystal light seems to expensive, ok controllers are included in the price ...but i dont need it ...will there be a kit without ? and the interchangeable display unit mmhhh is this really neccessary ?

maybe its an option later ... but for now if i get an 8kx for cheap i will try . i got the 5k+ (first black Version) for 150 Euros thats a great deal. but the screendoor is still visible.

the bigscreen beyond would be very nice because of the tiny formfactor but just to try it to expensive, and i dont know how the FOV is enough for me... reselling these would be hard because of fixed eye distances and the faceplate

i have a 4090 so i think iam on the safe side here

i really hope valve will do SOMETHING so i can decide ...

argh so many things to buy at the moment ..and everything is expensive .... i need a 49 inch curved OLED and a new Chair LOOOL

thats true.
but i still hope

back in the days valve releases a great product with the Index, which is still today the best package for VR in my opinion !!! EXCEPT !!!! the resolution of the dispays. which is a bit outdated for todays standards - but still playable and usable !!!!

and they developed all the new stuff within steam VR Software points to a new Product with a high potential.

i hope for a product like the fake valve Prism Homepage but without the stand alone crap .... nobody needs this ... and the stand VR alone market is not there on steam i think ...

maybe all the leaks and fake news and upcoming competing products will put some pressure on valve

youre right, but iam not under pressure to buy or "need" a new HMD now ... so i can lean back and watch what will happen

to get a "cheap" 8kx in the meanwhile is more or less for fun and not because i need it.

Indeed I agree, I think the Crystal hybrid aspect also makes no sense in my eyes, they wanted to try it but I think it is not a good idea.
If you have a 4090 you are quite comfortable with the power of your machine
I agree everything is expensive, simulation is a new passion for me, I don't want to invest too much for fear that it will go away over time (even if it would surprise me )

I know what you mean. I got the 4090 not only for sim racing. I Just play many Different types of games. So thats OK for racing a 3080 is enough in most cases i would say... I build my 6dof as cheap as possible with a preowned base from here and some other stuff. Maybe you noticed my building threat as well

The 3080 Ti works well in VR although on AMS2 it is very limited. But for the moment its well for me. I only have a 2 DOF Pro Simu (SNC5) bought second-hand and I really like the result, but it's certain that if I could add the traction loss it would be excellent. You built a 6 DOF it must be excellent, did you create a post on the forum so that you can look at your construction? I'm curious

yes of course
