Hello JinkaS3 👋 Nice laptop 👍 yes you will need the adapter in this case.

Hello 👋 if your gaming laptop can output a DisplayPort signal then yes 👍

@@SamDansCouch I have ROG strix laptop, it has a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort 1.4 , so it should work as a virtual link, i think?

@@nerdimmunity7672​​⁠officially usb-c adapters are not supported by Sony but it does work. Just make sure the usb-c is internally connected to the main GPU. Some laptops have internal graphics and usb-c hooks up to that. But in general it should work 👍

Hi Yalcinozer 👋 oh wow that was a really good price. I see the prices for new PS3s lately are in the 600€ these days 😮there is so much fun to have with the PS3 😎

@@arielstereo5484 I’m sorry you are having this issue. It sounds like you did everything correctly. Once the filter is exported to your RZ50 it should instantly work. That popping noise doesn’t sound good. Never happened to me and I’ve done it many times with different speakers, mics and software versions. If this problem persists you might want to contact your reseller for a warranty exchange. 😔

@@SamDansCouch yes I think i got a bad unit.

Helllo 👋 That’s awesome. I really love this model of the PS3. You should give it the SSD treatment. Runs better and cooler too 😎

@@SamDansCouch really thats cool ill do that..

Hello cara 👋 Did you get the beta invite code from Playstation? Else you won't get the update until its final release. Just yesterday Sony released an updated beta called 2.1 so it's still going to take a little while till the final release will come out.

Yes that’s right. Else you wouldn’t be even able to select it. No EQ required 👍

What GPU do you have? Only certain series of AMD and NVIDIA cards support the virtuallink.

Hello 👋 As long as you are using windows on your external ssd it does need to stay connected. Some valcro tape their ssd to the back of the SD to make it portable or just use it on a dock on a tv 👍

Actualy im planning to use windows for external only . should i boot it to steam os then safely remove it

@@darewinvillanueva496yes that would be the best method to be safe 👍

The measurement should always show up on screen once calibration is successful and after transfer it should ask you if you want to save the settings locally as well.

@@SamDansCouch It transferred only I think but that is it which may explain why I didn't think Dirac was a wow factor. When I would select Dirac slot 1 it was dull.

6800 are supported but I think the AMD cards that don’t have a usb-c type port on the gpu itself won’t.

Hi GTR72 👋 I’m glad I could spread the news and help. I’ve been playing with my RTX card in VR ever since and I’m very happy with the results plus only one wire and no extra adapters and power to worry about 😊

@@arielrodriguez6980 yes 👍😊

@@SamDansCouch One question I have. Since I do not have a tablet only a desktop can I calibrate the system using the Onkyo mic connected to the avr even if the desktop is in a different room than my Onkyo?

​​⁠yes that’s no problem since the computer gets the info over your (wifi)network. It’s even better to leave the room when the calibration runs so your own body doesn’t alter the sound waves 😎

@@arielrodriguez6980 that’s usually the first impression. It’s usually that you had way too much bass before and it sounds wrong to you now, which it did to me too. You can slow up the volume of the sub and if it’s not enough raise the curve of the lower frequencies a bit to your own liking. Keep comparing it with music you know best and movies. In the end the personal taste counts 😊

@@SamDansCouch I think also with the Dirac on the pc and full measurements it will be much better than my quick one.

Because Onkyo was bought by the company who is also making Klipsch speakers. So they integrated settings for these speakers.

@@SamDansCouch I see now, Voxx International. Makes sense.

Hello 👋 Yes that’s correct. There are tiny symbols on the display that shows the format but if you hit the info button on the remote you can see on your tv what format is being processed.

@@SamDansCouch I emailed Onkyo over this matter. Hopefully they can come up with a firmware but those agents are useless half the time.

Hello 👋 Did you do the room setup first in the PSVR2 app? Also try recenter your position in VR by long pressing the little oval button on the right controller while wearing the headset. Hope you get it to work quickly 👍 😊

On my pc screen iam in the beginning of the room settup and can see my room, but if i look through my psvr2 headset iam in an sort of galaxy bootup room with lines and a cirkel in the center and in the distance there is a black screen with waiting on it

@@QQ-tj3oetry checking if anything shows up on the desktop. Sometimes steam vr waits for you to confirm access rights prompts that do not show up in vr (which is inconvenient).

It looks and performs the same 😎 👍

Good question, I have the reference - AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX with Type-C(1), DisplayPort(2) & HDMI(1). Ironically I can get video signal to work off the GPU type-C Port but I can't get the headset to calibrate or work properly with controllers. Seems to be a software glitch. iVRy drivers work for direct type-C GPU video signal but I'm stuck with both Sony and iVRy drivers not working to calibrate controllers or set play space. Seems like this should be the GPU that works the best, but it seems to be the worst. Tried a couple of Nvidia GPU. The Nvidia 4090 & 4060 Ti GPU both work with the Sony drivers and just limited buggy problems. Can't seem to find any AMD Magic for Sony drivers even using the Sony PSVR2 PC Adapter instead of type -C. FYI - I'm not having any issues with Bluetooth the controllers. I'm using computers' motherboard Bluetooth no problem.

Hi pewmaz 👋 No, it looks and performs the same way as it does with the adapter. The Sony adapter pretty much just emulates a virtual link connection. So it’s the same performance 👍

@@appwraithhey 🙂thank you for your feedback. It’s definitely worth for the reduced heat alone too. My super slim is really quiet ever since I put an ssd in.

Me too, I’m looking forward to the PS5 Pro and it’s much improved resolution scaler and RayTracing speeds. I’m very hopeful that GT7 will be updated for this and VR on day one 😎

Im stuck because when i play game on pc pavr2 i get lag and jittering can you help?? Its only a little but its like i move my head to fast for the game to actually load and render

@@allmightysquidward960hello 👋 try looking at the steam VR settings and play with the motion smoothing option. It can sometimes make the graphics wobbly. If the game runs to laggy you can also try lowering the resolution. That helped me big time in Phasmo 😎

⁠officially usb-c adapters are not supported by Sony but it does work. Just make sure the usb-c is internally connected to the main GPU. Some laptops have internal graphics and usb-c hooks up to that. But in general it should work 👍

Hello Jeffrey 😊 That’s cool, yes that’s definitely going to be an improvement. Enjoy your upgraded super slim 😎

Hello MjzBoom 😊 I don’t think this is going to work on your laptop. USB-C is only going to give you a 2D picture even with an adapter. You will need a DisplayPort port (mini works too).

@@DevilisHeII Hello 👋 What brought back performance is lowering the resolution. You can do that in the Steam VR settings for the game. The game engine‘s performance is just not super high so lowering the resolution helps a lot and then it works really well.

@@SamDansCouch Hi! Noted, will try that now! Thanks a bunch and awesome vid!

Hello! AMD rx 6000, rx 6950 xt founders cards, 7000 cards and Nvidia RTX 20XX series cards all have VirtualLink. The next generation like RTX 3XXX and RTX 4XXXX and the equivalent AMD cards don't have this port any more. To make sure Google your GPU's name and look up the ports it has. It. has to be called VirtualLink. USB-C won't work unfortunately.

Yes, you can save your calibration and later on go back in the app and make changes at any point in time.

@@SamDansCouch Thank you, this is good to know because I wasn't sure if I should get a receiver with XT32 and Dirac in case I prefer XT32 I could go back. I may just go with the Onkyo RZ50 then.

@@arielrodriguez6980 I am still very happy with my RZ50 and DiracLive. I can fully recommend it 🙂

Hi Dominick! Oh so close, that sucks. Did a reboot work at all or check for new Bluetooth drivers? My Bluetooth didn't work correctly and didn't receive any driver updates in years so I had to get a USB dongle.

Very real, as long as you have an older GPU with VirtualLink, no adapter is required for your VR2.

How can i check if it has a virtual link?

Look at the GPU card and see if it has thunderbolt port . If it's a old nividia then you tell windows to use a newer card and use the old Nvidia only as an adapter😂​@@allmightysquidward960

@@drunknspike hello 👋😊 In your case you won’t be able to connect the VR2 directly. And even the Sony adapter might not work either. Sony support page mentions that they are not supporting HDMI or USB-C adapters. Only a display port is supported.

Hello Dimona 👋 Unfortunately no, Sony has to support that in their drivers. They might add it, chances are good since the interest on VR2 on PC is quite big. Even without these features the headset already feels great on PC. Good times 😊

Hi Ariel 👋 yes they are close. It’s really for the final touch if you want to go through the trouble. The extra sensitivity of the mic made measuring also a little easier 👍

@@SamDansCouch Do you have to set the sub gain to a certain level prior to dirac like with audyssey?

@@arielrodriguez6980you slowly raise the gain/volume of the sub while you do the volume setup before doing Dirac live. That way all speakers and sub match in volume and can later be controlled by the Dirac live settings.

Hi lloydb6182 👋 my experience so far has been very positive. No tracking problems and no studdering. I had an issue with the graphics sometimes becoming “liquid” looking for a second. Turns out it’s motion smoothing by Steam VR which can be turned off if needed. On a whole the experience is very smooth and has been a lot of fun finally being able to play all the PC VR games that didn’t make it to PS5 😊

@@SamDansCouch nice one! Will do some more testing tomorrow, i have subscribed :)

@@lloydb6182​​⁠Thank you! 😊 yes take a closer look at the steamVR settings. There are a lot options to optimize graphics to your VR setup 👍😎

Hello 👋 unfortunately adapters won’t work. You need a designated virtual link port which has a different power delivery.

Hello 👋 The card has to have a virtual link port and I believe the 1080 doesn’t have one. Performance might be a little difficult anyway since you want high frame rates for VR.

When I googled it says gpu has 2 1.4 ports . So is every 1.4 port is virtual link ?

@@gregkopanczyk8330unfortunately no. VirtualLink was its own standard that was abandoned for newer GPUs. For newer GPUs you are going to need the Sony adapter.

Do I understand it correctly, if I get adapter I can use it with my 1080 ti

⁠​​⁠yes, if you don’t have a virtual link port, the Sony adapter is the right choice 😎

Hello 👋 The graphics can definitely look better on PC with VR2. But it depends heavily on how powerful your computer/GPU is. Like HL Alyx looks spectacular with lots of high resolution textures and no pixelation. I don’t even see mura. On cases where the PC hardware struggles and you need to go down in resolution, then it can look worse. Im actually curious how the game Phasmophobia will turn out on PS5 since it’s not performing so hot on PC in general. You don’t have HdR on PC yet for VR2 but the OLED screens are still beautiful to look at and it’s deep blacks. So in general you can get better graphic quality out of it using a PC. Hopefully the future PS5 pro is going to deliver more power/higher resolution for VR2 as well 😊

@@SamDansCouch​​⁠that’s why I was asking, thinking about PS5 Pro and whether it will improve GT7

@@giacintorenta7579I’m really looking forward to the PS5 pro too. GT7 might come with ray tracing in every situation and better resolution scaling. Hopefully we’ll hear more about it soon 😎

Hello 👋 DLBC is a good add on but the regular DiracLive is already really good. Maybe in cases where you have a very difficult room and more than one sub it can make a greater difference. Else DL is more than enough 😊

Hey WorldHayes👋 I totally understand and I will get the box too for when I upgrade my PC with a new GPU. And yes that should work just fine on your computer 👍😎

​@@SamDansCouch I tried the mother board, but it says it won't recognize it as a device, even the light doesn't turn on for the vr😊

That would be really cool. I think Sony might update and add more functionally over time to the official drivers but if they don't I am sure some talented modders can add stuff like this in too to some extend. It is amazing what some people are able to program 😎

I know right? For once "older" electronic comes in handy 😎

Same, really glad I got my rtx2080 ti. Been playing half life alyx, the blacks on the oled really do justice for that! Even though it doesn't support hdr on pc, I don't know if I see the difference with ps5 with hdr on.

@@unothgor The OLED screen is really beautiful when playing Alyx. The high res textures alone make everything pop. I can’t stop playing it either 😁

Hi marcosicolo4542 🙂 Yes, starting with the 30XX series they got rid of the VirtualLink unfortunately. But good news that your bluetooth doesn't cause you trouble. I hope you can get the adapter soon. I was able to order one from Sony directly yesterday. All the local stores never even got the adapter.

@@SamDansCouch I was just able to order it from Best Buy but it says delivery is by 8/28. I guess I can be a little more patient

@@marcosicolo4542 ​​⁠oh waiting sucks but at least you got your order secured. 👍 Looks like demand is much higher than Sony expected 😊

That’s correct 👍 I’m sure modders can figure it out if Sony itself doesn’t decide to support it in a future update 😊

Hello dathyr1! This method is great if you have an older GPU with a virtuallink port and you don't want to spend 60 bucks on the adapter. Plus the adapter also brings in the hassle of an extra power cord and you need to have another DisplayPort cord. You save all that if you connect it directly. If you already have a Quest 3 of course you don't need this. But if you play PS5 and want to explore the PC VR world, this is a great solution.

@@SamDansCouch I agree with all you say in your reply. Didn't mean to sound rude in any way. I do not have a Play Station 5, so I mainly do PC gaming with my Quest 3. I just did some quick checks and the PSVR headset looks to be back up to original pricings and the PC adapter module is unavailable on Sony direct website. So Good luck for those that do have the PSVR headset to play games on the PC. I will say we do need a pretty good gaming PC to play allot of the newer games, so there is a cost factor there.

@@dathyr1 It‘s all good 😊 I am glad that the VR worlds come together now and that Playstation players and enjoy Steam VR and PC players can chose to buy themselves a PSVR2. It‘s gonna help the future of VR gaming. I think Sony was caught off guard themselves with the demand for the PC adapter, it is really hard to get right now. They should keep the price of PSVR2 lowered and keep the momentum going.

Hello Rostovgenchik! I will be getting the official adapter soon as well and test if there are any differences. I don't expect any but I will compare it 🙂

@@SamDansCouch Thank you very much for your attention, I will wait for your impressions:)

@@darkz_hr8 Hi Darkz 🙋‍♂️ Unfortunately no, anything from the RTX 30series upwards doesn‘t support the required VirtualLink function which is needed for PSVR2 to work.

@@SamDansCouch thx for the fast reply, my laptop doesn’t have a display port. So i thought i could use the usb-c port, but unfortunately no :( Is there a adapter i could buy for hdmi>Display? Or usb C>Display. Because i really don’t want to spend 1000$ more just for a pc with Display ports😅 (i do not own a psvr2 adapter, but will buy if people find a solution)

@@darkz_hr8 No, even though physically it is an USB-C port, virtuallink requires certain specs like more power output and so on. Also Sony rules out any USB-C adapters too. PS VR2 does not support the use of HDMI-to-DisplayPort conversion adapters or USB Type-C-to-DisplayPort conversion adapters. I wish everyone with a USB-C port could pop in their VR2 but technically there are still little differences. The world of different standards.

@@SamDansCouch thank you 😊

@@shine-dalgarno Hello Shine! 👋 That‘s interesting, thank you for your feedback! I was going back and forth with my internal Bluetooth adapter too for like an hour and never got both connected. Glad you could work it out! Have fun playing Steam VR! 😎
