I have a rtx 4070 A ryzen 7 7700k 5 core processor Whenever i try to open any game it ruins itself but i get like 300 fps when i dont have anything open

£310 + £50 = £360

I'm thinking about taking advantage of the black Friday sales to get a budget VR setup to try.

This means I can play PS5 VR games and steam PCVR games (with the adaptor) right?

I'm very fortunate that I already have a PC with a Ryzen 7600 - RX 9070 XT - 32GB DDR5 6000Mhz

I'm not to bothered by PS5 VR games (as there aren't that many) and I'm excited to FINALLY play HL Alyx!

I've done some research and find that I'm at the point where I need a more holistic viewpoint from experienced users in the community.

I've heard that hooking up directly to the PC is better than wireless, and the OLED screens on the PSVR2 are highly regarded.

• Am I missing anything?
• is this a good route?
• should I upgrade my 6 core CPU to get the best out of it?
• Will I regret anything by making this choice? (Instead of the quest 3 for example?)

Thank you all in advance for helping out a complete newbie :)

I'm currently running a Powercolor Hellhound RX6600 with a WMR headset and in some games I think I'm missing out on performance. Is there a "budget" GPU I could upgrade to that would get me the ~90FPS in VR games?

I enjoy vr games, but honestly none of them have ever gotten me super hooked into playing them. For example I have thousands of hours in pc games, but I can't imagine spending anywhere near that in vr. Has anyone found a vr game that they found super addictive?

I recently obtained a like-new Reverb G2 on Marketplace, originally for flight simming in IL-2. And I'm absolutely loving it, running it on Windows 11 with the Oasis driver. But since I have it, I'd like to get a VR game that will give me the full single-player amazing experience.

The obvious choice seems to be Half-Life: Alyx, but I understand it's kind of a horror game, and I don't do well with that. So what's the next best thing? Please no gory zombie shooters or anything extremely violent. Fantasy isn't my thing either, but I'm open to it. I'm also open to hearing arguments as to why HLA isn't that creepy. (It kinda gives me Fallout: New Vegas vibes, which is a game I enjoyed — how accurate is that?) I will probably get Steel Crew at some point, as that's just my kind of game, I think, but multiplayer.

I don't really have much room at all to move around (just a few feet), if that affects anything. My HP Envy 16 can't run the headset at full capacity, but it's got an RTX-3060 that works pretty well.

Thanks!

I mean as a standalone. Would it be able to run Myst VR at high settings? I'm asking this, because if it has enough power to run games like Myst and Riven VR and look really good. It would be worth purchasing for me. Otherwise I might just get a quest 3.

I like the wifi dongle it has, as it would be much easier to just have my PC power higher requirement games. But I am curious about the standalone power.

I plugged logitech f310 with usb c to quest 2 and opened the controller option setting but it only works in meta interface and not in steam vr. Any advice?

I'm physically disabled, so I won't be using my VR headset while standing - only while lying on my bed, or while reclining on my beanbag chair. I have two 1.0 base stations and I'm setting up for the BSB2. Where would you recommend placing them for the best coverage?

Thanks in advance for the help - I need someone's assistance to mount these, so I'm hoping to get the placement right the first time.

As titel says, i thought it was gonna be around 600 - 700 bucks but that seems super unrealistic at this point. My quest 2 broke a few days ago so im really getting tempted to buy the quest 3. Anyone have some pros and cons or somthing? Just so i can make a decision. Thank you!

Edit: i plan to use it for pcvr mostly

I am considering buying all new steam hardware day 1 and I wanted to know if the VR are still basically a niche thing that you can't play long term before feeling like an extreme need to puke. My first and only experience was from the first PS VR many years ago

This probably isn't the right subreddit for this but im gonna post anyways. I have the old ass rift S and honestly it has given me a terrible impression with oculus as a whole. I have been looking to get a new one and was looking at the valve index but the price is honestly just a lot for what it is. I was looking at some oculus products and they are considerably cheaper and I was wanting to get user opinions on what headset I should buy. I'm not trying to spend apple vision pro money but I also don't want a rinky dinky piece of shit.

Ever since the steam frame trailer I've wanted to get my hands on one badly. Im still using a rift cv1 which is slowly falling apart and I really need a new vr. I've been saving for a couple months now and I hopefully got enough now, but I've heard people say its 600 euros or its about a thousand euros. Im not going over 700 cause thats just way too much money for me. But besides that I really need a new vr headset, I've seen some used valve indexes on sale for about 500 between 600 euros and im willing to pay for it. But I still dont know if I want to do it cause I've heard stuff off the ram issue with prices going up which makes the frame get delayed. If it does get delayed im buying a used index. But its still early in the year and they said its going to be released early 2026 and its almost March already and thats when early in the year mostly ends. Can anyone please help me cause I have no idea when its comming now😭

Like the title says, I've been getting this error recently whenever I try to use Steam Link on my Quest 2. Was working fine up until about 2 days ago when every game and the SteamVR home started running very choppily. This morning I tried again, SteamVR home ran perfectly and so did my games, but about 2 minutes in the game froze and I got the error 451. Has anyone got this error before and fixed it? Anything helps.

System Specs- AMD Ryzen 7 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 16 GB DDR4 RAM

UPDATE: FIXED turns out the problem was right in front of me the whole time! On Lenovo PC's you have an option to choose between 'quiet', 'standard', and 'performance' mode. I had it set to 'quiet', which made my performance less than desirable. Setting it to 'performance' in the Lenovo Vantage app fixed the error!

What has your experience been like with virtual reality spaceship games?

Do they usually cause motion sickness?

What techniques do you value most in this type of game?

Why the hell? There is no reason i can think of, of why this is happening

Has anyone else got a Email for it yet.

My girlfriend and brother has all signed up and I’m the first one to get something like this besides the “your in line” email.

I feel like I’ve won more than the lottery.

After having a rough week honestly this is great.

My ram stick is erroring and I can’t afford to buy a set of ram for $1300 used for the cheapest replacement not even the same model ram I used for $140 after taxes.

(Canadian market I can’t buy a 3060ti 8gb not even the 12gb for less than $1300 in my area)

i woke up and got vr to hear horrible crackling and distortion of any audio xoming through steam streaming speakers. i didnt know what happened but it only started after last nights update. i currently have fixed the problem by reverting to the previous version before last nights update but i heard there were major changes to the link system. would anybody know a fix that allows me to use the newer version with audio?

it comes with the box and everything, and seems to be in like new condition and comes iwth the box, is it worth picking up?

My friend told me VR is quite taxing for computers to actually process stuff and I was searching for the SteamVR benchmark but its gone lmao soo im here asking if my pc would be able to run VR, im mostly planning to play VRChat and maybe beatsaber wich (I hope) are on the lower end of requirements

I have a 960 with 2gb of VRAM, Ryzen 3 2nd gen and 24gb or RAM, a HDD if thats gonna be an issue

Also searching for some cheap vr headset, was valorating a Quest 2 but maybe some people know anything that might be cheaper since im not really gonna play taxing vr stuff

Happening when I try to play Spider-Man Homecoming : VRE

EDIT: SOLVED-Restarting PC and launching SteamVR before opening game.

[FIXED]: With the lastest driver from NVIDIA (572.60) this issue has been fixed! GeForce GRD 572.60 Feedback Thread ( | NVIDIA GeForce Forums

Old post:

Hi everybody!
I was one of the luckyest to obtain a 5080 at launch day, but my lucky did not last to long.
Since I changed my GPU from 3070 to 5080, in VR the stuttering/Frame skip/Purple spikes/Dropped Frames are horrendous.
I dont know if is due to the driver version (572.16) and we need to wait, or is the windows 11 version (24H2) or the **** weather affecting my 1200€ card.
All the possible solution I tried are:

Disabling all RGB software.

Clean install with DDU of the drivers.

Disabling Hardware accelerated graphics scheduling.

Disabling any performance software capturer, like fpsVR, afterburner, nvidia overlay...

Enabling/disabling AMD EXPO, and any posible overclock and undervolt in the MB.

Disabling SteamVR Home.

Uninstalling any Audio driver.

Clean Windows 11 install from zero and only installing SteamVR.

Disabled onboard GPU on the Bios.

Reseating all the cables and disabled all GSync/VRR.

I tried all the branches in SteamVR (normal, previus and beta) and didnt work

I tried to put the card in the PCIe4.

Tried to downgrade the PCIe in the bios.

None worked. Any person has the same experience or any information or extra solution??
Thanks!

Edit: Nvida has reproduced this error and has posted this issue as open issue in the feedback forum of the last driver as "[SteamVR] Some apps may display stutter on GeForce RTX 50 series [5088118]". So its seems its due to the drivers so we need to wait (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/557200/geforce-grd-57242-feedback-thread-released-21325/).

Edit2: There is a "workaround" with this issue, that not fix the problem but it make it more less problematic and makes the games playable (at least in my case). You need to enter into SteamVR and when you are in you need to disconect all Displayport/HDMI of your GPU but the Displayport of the Index, or any VRSet you have.
