How  is a snapdragon processor be strong enough to play vr games

 

[Thomas Brain]

I mean vr is a highly graphical pressurized subject.... And i have snapdragons in mostly as phone cpu's...... So is a snapdragon xr2 as powerful as a intel i5 or amd processor ryzen 7 processor

Mobile VR-titles run much simpler graphics than the PC-ones.

I saw occulus quest have many high end games

Were those games meant to be played in low graphics?

Games on the Quest are far from being the same as PC VR games.

Lets also not forget that, just like consoles, the games are optimized for the Quest and can employ some "tricks" to reduce the strain on the system, all while providing what seems to be high quality graphics.

They aren't that great looking when you're playing it yourself. It basically look like Switch games upscaled and seen through lens. Looks good from a distance, but get closer to the textures and it will look like blurred garbage.

I agree with this, but can't dismiss the fact that $300 with no need for a PC or Phone, it is an excellent entrance into VR with little commitment. Not great looking, but good enough to have fun. I feel like it is marketed toward people who might not care about graphics as well.

Just because they're the same title doesn't mean that they'd be 1:1 copies. Mobile versions of games will always be much more simplified visually, and when you watch comparison videos between a PCVR title and the same game on Quest you see there are massive differences. It's great what developers can do to make the games be as close to each other as they do, but the differences are absolutely massive - for the obvious reasons.

I thought the same thing when I first saw that the Quest is powered by an ARM cpu. However, from what I've seen and read it is the same CPU as what is in the Nintendo Switch and the graphics are downgraded from the PC version.

 

No, a snapdragon is nowhere near the performance of a Ryzen 7 or i5.
