I want to buy a budget VR headset to play games like Beat Saber, Half life Alyx, Blade and sorcery, etc since it's now affordable after steam sales, but I don't want to spend lots of money on something that I might not like. My budget is around 5 to 6 million Indonesian Rupiah. Is there a decent VR headset for that price range?

Lately got a VR itch again, had it since I tried the google cardboard but never invested into anything else. Noticed locally one is being sold for £70. Straps are a bit white but everything else seems ok? They still worth it? 75hz kinda sad and support is being dropped but should be ok for PC games as VR? Anything else I should know like mandatory facebook login, extra cables needed for PC connection or something? I'd be playing racing games, ED in VR and CP77 modded for VR. Can't decide if I want to try out VR or play Cities Skylines 2 maybe I should wait another year or two before quest 2 is worth £70...

Hey everyone, I have a confession to make. I destroyed my beloved MSI GS76 gaming/work laptop in a moment of pure forgetfulness. You see, I had packed it up in its rolling airport bag after a long day of work, and had planned to take it home. But in the midst of the Adderall shortage (which I'm sure contributed to my forgetfulness), I left the bag behind my car and drove right over it. It was a sad, cringe-worthy moment that left me with a bent and battered laptop. So now I need to start my search for a new laptop, but this time I'm determined to be more careful (and hopefully more focused). As an instructional designer, elearning developer, voiceover artist, audio editor, and budding software developer, I need a machine that can handle all of my various tasks. And of course, I'm a gamer who wants to take on VR games. All while staying within a $2000 budget. So, can anyone recommend a laptop that can meet all of my needs? I loved the large screen on my old MSI, so that's definitely something to consider. But overall, I just want a laptop that won't end up under my car's tires, Adderall or no Adderall. Thanks in advance for your help, and let's hope my next laptop has a longer lifespan than its ill-fated predecessor (and that the Adderall shortage ends soon). Oh, one last thing. I really loved the large screen on my laptop.

I'm looking foward to buy a VR Headset for racing simulation but I don't know which one to choose. There are major differences in price points between them. And also I have some dudes because I only want it to be pluged in to the computer and just use the hedset so for example in the valve index, do I need to buy de handset and the tracker for the specific thing I'm going to use it for? Thanks beforehand to everyone trying to help!

Hey gamers, So I've been running a 980TI and i7 6700K since 2016ish and this rig has served me phenomenally since then. The issue is, I really enjoy VR and it absolutely struggles to keep up with newer VR hardware as well as hitting an ever-increasing wall when it comes to games. Now, when it comes to building a new PC, I'm the type of person who isn't interested in skimping-out on anything and want to make sure I get the best possible options that will last me as long as my current rig (within reason, of course). I decided to check out Build Redux after yet another amazing segue by Linus to see what they have to offer, and with a bit of tweaking this screenshot is what I have so far. Everything seems pretty quality and up to snuff for a desperately needed upgrade, but I'm not nearly as part-savvy as I'd need to be to really understand what I'm looking at here. Which brings me to my main question: Am I screwing myself over here? As in, are there any parts that are questionable, or something missing that I would need for this to function properly/significantly better? Water cooling is a bit over my head, but I believe that's a common thing for high-end GPUs that isn't listed here? Should I wait for the new hardware coming out in the next few months instead? Its a big investment that I want to last so I want to ensure this is, relatively speaking, the best option I can go for. I appreciate any input!

Hi Everyone, Wanting to get some advice for a router specifically for Oculus Air Link. I currently have a nighthawk X6S AC4000 router, but it's in the room next to my PC, and can't be moved. Latency and general stability of oculus air link is a bit rubbish. Was looking at maybe getting a dedicated router and use it as a Wi-Fi 6 AP. Unsure whether anyone's had experience of this setup, and/or can recommend a good router for it. Looking at the TP-LINK AX1500, seems to be one of the cheapest WiFi 6 capable ones. Thanks!

I dunno if Peripherals is the correct subforum to post this under, but I searched and saw other VR posts here, so if this is the wrong place, let me know. The company one of my family members work for has bought 5 Oculus Quest 2's that they want to use for community events and online meetups, I suppose. However, it appears that they have no clue how to actually get them set up and didn't know about the facebook account requirement before purchasing them. They thought they'd just be able to make one account and share it across all the headsets, but it seems they wouldn't be able to play online with each other if they do that. I've been told there's a more business oriented version of the headsets you can buy, but that doesn't really help because they've already purchased 5 regular consumer model quest 2's. I guess what I'm really asking is what the best way to go about setting up these headsets would be. Do they just have to make 5 facebook accounts to tie to each of the headsets so they can play together? Is there any risk of those accounts getting banned and bricking the headset since there's no actual person tied to them? Any help or info would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi I would appreciate your feedback before buying Budget: 2000 € (willing to go up to 2500 €) Location: Germany Aim: I want to use the latest VR hardware for gaming Monitors: Varjo Aero VR Headset (2880 x 2720 per eye, 90Hz | System Requirements: https://varjo.com/varjo-ready-computers-for-aero/) & Predator 34X (3440 x 1440, 100Hz) Peripherals: Not needed. I'll use my old stuff. Here is the part list I put together: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/q2W4qm - I am using my old case & fans - I need a lot of USB connectors because of VR (Headset + 3 Trackers, maybe more trackers in the future) - I chose parts without paying too much attention to aesthetics except when choosing the RTX 3070 Ti. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to help me out Edit: I was considering paying 50 € more to use water cooling (ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420) for the Ryzen 7 5800X but I didn't see the need for it in the end.

I've been having some issues with half life alyx that have been really destroying my enjoyability of the game. It's been leaving me dizzy and nauseous in a way that no other VR game ever has. The list of glitches include having my entire vision turn orange or grey for no reason at random times, and along with this comes my camera being detached from my head position, causing my vision to be stuck in a direction that my head is no longer pointed in, which is very disorienting. Additionally, I occasionally get an instance of severe lag during loading sequences during which one frame of the loading screen per second will flash on one of my eye displays and then the other, giving me severe headaches. I have no idea what the cause for any of these issues could be. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Should I buy the Oculus Quest 2 or the Oculus Rift S? In my country, they’re both the same price. I will most likely primarily connect the headset to my computer and play VR Games from Steam. Note: my computer is an Asus G14 laptop with the highest specs, so I won’t be able to connect any headset directly to the GPU.

So my sister got a quest 2 about a year ago but has had such a large amount of trouble with it every time she wants to play any games that she ended up giving it to me on the condition that I buy her a different one that's easier to use. I'm hoping to find a headset with the requirements that follow: At or below $500 USD (I'm willing to spend a bit more than what her headset is worth to get her something that she actually enjoys using), must be inside out tracked since she only has a 1.75m^3 cube to play in and can't mount base stations. I'd also prefer not to get her something that's really outdated with way lower resolution or refresh rate like the Rift S. Has to be a native PCVR headset so no 'standalone that can technically do PCVR with lots of issues' like the quest 2. Whatever software it uses should preferably be relatively simple to use. I was planning on buying her an HP Reverb G2 but I've been told that it requires a lot of maintenance and upkeep / troubleshooting constantly to keep it running consistently, so that's been marked off the list. I know the index is technically the most seamless headset on the market to play with, but like I said, that's way too expensive and she can't mount base stations even if I did get one for her as a gift. I'm here hoping there's a headset out there that's right for her, but if there isn't, I guess I'll just have to give her the old headset back and say I couldn't find a better one, which I'd really rather not do. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

the tracking has gone to bananas on one of the bases today and everything hardware-wise seems ok. https://imgur.com/a/LoLT10O the lights are all there, no blinking lights of any sorts, always green. tried tracking the faulty one alone in mode A and it doesn't seem to be detecting the headset at all. works in synced mode but whenever I'm facing the base the floor gets tilted and the controller go flying everywhere and my position is flying everywhere. checked online and no one seems to be reporting the issue, there's no noise or buzz or coil whining coming from the base and it seems to be fine physically. I read somewhere in steam forums that resetting the firmware might fix this issue, also there was a fix somewhere from steamvr devs that said there's a file calibration rescue .bin file in the steam vr files that can be used as a firmware update in the base. I tried that but still no go.

Hello and Welcome to my (second) blog!! My name is Adam, 18, and I am a first year student in a UK university studying Games Computing (MComp). I would like to introduce myself in this post and tell you all what tech I own, how I use it, and my plans for this Blog. Firstly, I would like to point out that this is not my only blog. I have another on wordpress however I keep that as more of a diary of thoughts and life stuff. If you wish to get to know how I think you can try to find it (but really I only tend to post there when I'm feeling down) but if not then just stay tuned here as this is a place for all things technology related. Next I will list the sort of tech that I own, then my PC specs, and finally my PC peripherals: - Nexus 5 - My most used gadget unsurprisingly (Apart from my PC) and is to date, in my opinion, the best mobile that I could want. - 6th Gen Ipod Nano - Given to me for my 16th birthday present but is no longer used since I bought my Nexus. - Ipad Air - Given to me for my 18th birthday present and I use it a lot when not near my PC. (DISCLAIMER: I will try my best not to talk a lot about Apple products as I do not like the company as a whole and I do not wish to start arguments with people who big Apple supporters.) - PC Spec - Originally bought a custom PC from a company called Vibox and since then I have upgraded it so that the only original components are my CPU, (and heatsink and fan), C: drive HDD, and RAM. AMD Bulldozer FX-4100 Quad-core clocked at 3.8GHz ASUS CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z motherboard 16GB (2x8) DDR3 1333MHz RAM Corsair RM850 Fully Modular PSU ASUS Radeon R9 290 4GB DDR5 GPU Seagate 1TB 3.5" HDD (C:) WD 2TB Black 3.5" HDD (D:) TP-Link 450Mbps Wireless N Dual Band PCI Express Adapter Windows 8.1 Home OS - ROCCAT KONE XTD wired mouse - ROCCAT ISKU Illuminated Gaming Keyboard - SENNHEISER PC 330 G4ME Headset - iiyama ProLite E2607WS 26" 1920x1200 Monitor - Blue Snowball Ice Desktop Microphone - Logitech C920 HD Webcam - Oculus Rift DK2 So as you can see there is a long list and I'm sure to a few readers one item may stand out. If this is the Rift DK2 I will be talking about VR a lot in this blog ans I have other VR devices on their way to be which I will get to test out. I have a general knowledge in C and C++ programming and I have a little experience in using C# with Unity and with my aims in life set towards a career in the games development industry I hope to explore more into the possibilities of truly immersive VR experiences. I also have a YouTube channel HERE which up to now has mostly been simple gameplay videos but that may change in the future. I have a twitter account HERE and if for some reason you would like to contact me directly my email is adamlinscott@aol.com.

So i am looking at getting an index and see the minimum graphics is a 970. I own a 980ti reference card with 6gb vram and would like to get some opinions on if it will be usable with an index. I will eventually get a better graphics card but i don't want to get the index if what I have now is not even going to be an enjoyable experience until i update the GPU. I would imagine I'd have to bump most settings down quite a bit. Like a lot of you, I want to see what the 3000 series cards do to the market and look to get a 2070 super or 2080 in the future if prices drop a bit. I am currently running an i7-4790k with 16gb DDR3. Those will be updated later on down the road as I am not really seeing any bottlenecks with anything I am running. So what do you think? In almost min 2020 is it worth playing VR on a 980ti? Or should all people with 900 series look to update to minimum 1070-1080. Thanks!

At GDC, Oculus had a few announcements to make. The biggest one is a price drop for their VR hardware. The Oculus Rift headset is dropping $100 ($599 to $499), the Touch controller kit is dropping another $100 ($199 to just $99), and the cost of extra cameras for improved room scale coverage are dropping $20 ($79 to $59). The price drops bring the Rift + Touch price to a combined $598, $200 cheaper than the HTC Vive competitor and in fact closer to the cheaper PSVR. New hardware launches and the ASW feature have also allowed the price tag for a Rift-capable PC to drop to $499. This price drop follows statements by Oculus VP of Content, Jason Rubin, that wireless is too expensive for wider adoption of VR, and that Oculus would rather focus on bringing the price of VR down. Oculus also revealed several titles on the way in 2017, from their Oculus Studios partnerships with VR developers like 4A Games (makers of Metro:Last Light). Among these are Brass Tactics (RTS), From Other Suns (co-op shooter), and Mage's Tale (dungeon-crawling RPG). Along with previously announced titles like Lone Echo and Arktika.1, and yet more unannounced games, Oculus is saying there will be at least one VR game released from Oculus Studios in every month this year. The VR space is really heating up with these big-time announcements from Oculus, along with the new VR headsets on the way from Microsoft partners as well as LG. The price barrier is dropping into reach of more regular gamers, and the amount of high-quality content is skyrocketing. 2017 is going to be an exciting year for VR.
