I have the original htc vive but that came out a while ago and lately I'm getting tired of the low res and the lines? Of the class or screen dont know what it is. 

 

I'm looking for the most high res or best screen to where I cant see any of that. I only see the game.

 

I dont think this is the right place but I couldnt find any vr.

The valve index is the best of the best, or the vive pro. They will cost almost 1000$ tho

I'm pretty sure the valve index can use the vive base stations and the vive controllers

https://www.anandtech.com/show/14294/valve-index-vr-headset-available

1440x1600 per eye, 120hz-144hz, 130 degrees of vision

 

Vive Pro is 1440x1600 per eye (OLED), 90hz, 110 degrees

 

https://store.steampowered.com/valveindex

500$ for just the headset (for ppl who already have base stations and controllers from their vive) OoS, sadly

750$ for headset + controllers (for ppl who already have base stations)

 

The index is also cheaper than the vive pro IIRC

If you really need accurate colors, go with vive pro, else the valve index.

Also make sure you have a good PC, 2880x1440p @ 120hz is going to be tough to drive

ive seen a review a few months ago. they said that they changed the sensors making it more responsive to spatial positioning. i dont tknow about the image quality though. but if i remembered correctly it was either 1440p or 4k

I have sli 980 ti so it should work I'm waiting till next gen to upgrade. I think I can make it work. To be honest Idc about price I'm looking for the best. No more of the blurry screens. I want near perfect graphics.

yeah you should be good for a year. IIRC most VR supports SLI, but you could probably sell the 980 ti's and get a 1080 if they don't

Absolute best resolution would be:

HP Reverb WIndows Mixed Reality (2160x2160, 90hz, 110 degree FOV)

or

Pimax 8KX (3840x2160 per eye, 75hz @ native 4k [90hz if upscaling from 2560x1440 signal],  200 degree fov) Valve lighthouse based headset.

 

Below that:

Pimax

8K+ 3840x2160 per eye, 90hz always upscaling from 2560x1440 signal, 200 degree fov)

5K+ 2560x1440 per eye, up to 120 hz in beta 90hz normal, 200 degree fov

5K XR 2560 x 1440 per eye, 85-88 hz oled panel for better colour, 200 degree FOV

 

Valve index would also be a good option assuming you're in a country that can order them

 

A 980ti is going to struggle pretty hard with many games on those headsets.  Your going to need a 1080ti/2080 at minimum and even that isn't going to be great all the time.

You might squeeze by with it running at 2560x1440 though.

 

Hopefully next gen video cards have a more reasonable price than the 2080 ti

Almost no VR or anything else at this point supports SLI.

A couple games did like the Nvidia Demo and I think Serious Sam but you could count the total titles on one hand.

@trufret I'll concur, the Reverb does have the best resolution and PPD performance, but the hand controllers are terrible and its not suited for standing games, and Windows Mixed Reality is something of a disaster.

 

However, if you are playing simulators, it can be very good. Over on the Il-2 forums, our resident VR enthusiast did a stack of reviews on the different second gen headsets:
