VR with a kind of low-end PC.

Your PC isn't going to 'blow up', it'll just be a bad experience. The effect of VR is only convincing when you have a smooth-ish framerate. On Radeon Integrated Graphics, all it'll do is make you want to throw up. 

VR on a bad PC?

  1. 1. So I was thinking to buy an Oculus Quest 2 and playing it with my PC. I have a Ryzen 3 4000G with AMD Integrated Graphics. Is it a good idea? Or is it gonna be a framerate chaos?

    • Yes, your PC is gonna blow up.

3400G iGPU will not work well at all.

 

Quest 2 is standalone though, I'd recommend just using it like that.

Current System: Ryzen 7 3700X, Noctua NH L12 Ghost S1 Edition, 32GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz, MAG B550i Gaming Edge, 1TB WD SN550 NVME, SF750, RTX 3080 Founders Edition, Louqe Ghost S1

It’s not going to perform well. The Ryzen integrated graphics are about as powerful as a GT 1030 for reference.

with just an igpu, it will make you throw up very quickly, if it works at all lol.

I mean it's not gonna blow up but it's gonna be far from a pleasurable experience. you probably won't ever get more than 60fps and experience some nausea

Quest 2 is fine standalone just like Quest 1 was (I've used the OG Quest standalone).

Your PC isn't going to 'blow up', it'll just be a bad experience. The effect of VR is only convincing when you have a smooth-ish framerate. On Radeon Integrated Graphics, all it'll do is make you want to throw up.

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents.

With vr you cannot get away with  low framerates(30 fps for example),as this will cause an nauseating effect and a very bad experience.

Get an GPU first then consider vr.

 

I love Vega igpu's but its not meant for vr AT ALL.

The quest 2 offers a pretty decent standalone experience, you dont need to connect it to a pc. 

 

That said, pc games will obviously look better if you have the hardware to run them.

30FPS is alright, a graphics card is expensive though. What's your reccomendation? (cheapest and best)

 

Edit: I just did a stress test, and I only got 5FPS max..

 

The picturethat you see here is the result of my Graphics strees test. I only got 11FPS. (Without antialiasing and running at HD).

30 FPS is alright,but absolutely not in VR.

The lowspecgamer did a video on trying to run vr on VEGA and it worked!But just barely and he absolutely did not reccomend.

If the cheapest vr headset is  $300 then you could use that money to get a GPU.

 

For GPU i reccomend something in the rx 570-580 or gtx 1060-1070 range of performance since those GPU's are what i would say vr ready somewhat in the budget range.

I managed to find a rx 580 for $150 but i was extremely lucky,you could probably find one for at about 200-220.

You can now get the quest 2 up to 90hz too on some apps in standalone.
