linus: sponsored by oculus from facebook me: close tab

[@JoeBob79569]

This was a very lazy, pointless, video. Basically, "look at the recommended spec, or but a better CPU". No tests, or benchmarks, or graphs, etc? This seems more like an ad for Oculus than a proper, interesting, video.

[@pjgppjgp]

It is techquickie, not ltt, this channel has always been so

[@Muhanoid]

It's a quickie. It gives baseline and direction for knowledge gathering. Also, more detailed videos were mentioned.

[@Nelivitone]

If u listen carefully, there might be some information about VR gaming, also how it's special next to basic gaming.

[@cappyo]

Ah yes that one headset that requires a facebook account

[@joshuamcdonald5850]

This is pretty sad to see. Used to be able to trust Linus to be honest but I guess everyone has their price. Was wondering why I hadn't seen a video from them about the quest 2, and I guess a paycheck was the reason why

[@tppianoboredom7249]

Please make a video explaining why isn't there an android ROM which can be flashed on any existing android phone as there is windows 10 setup which can be used to install windows on any combination of hardware

[@TheDenno91]

Sponsored by Facebook? Dislike 👎

[@mataskart9894]

That's just straight up stupid.... Money is money, and there was no reason not to take it, as it didn't change the subject of the video whatsoever, since it doesn't concern the Quest 2- it's literally talking about topics important for the Index/PCVR, and the quest is primarily a wireless stand-alone device, oh and yeah that dead Rift S thing that's already in the trash bin at Oculus...

For future episode: how much VRAM do you need in 2020 or 2021?

First before all of y'all.

Nice

i still can see only one view

[@dirtblock69420]

You're right.

[@slimebluevideos]

Your recommendation at the end is overkill. 4 cores is scraping the barrel for just vr, and unsuitable for vr streaming, while 6 cores is good for just vr, while scraping the barrel for vr streaming And 8 cores is good enough for everything.

“Oculus recommend atleast a 4590” Me with a 4690: signature look of superiority

Sponsored by VR that forces you to login on facebook for no reason

[@stachowi]

no reason... it's called surveillance capitalism... these things have cameras that can see into your house and see how you live.

I'd love to see this frametime revisited with different pcie generations

[@shamanik1320]

lol i quickly read that as SPECIAL CUP and laughed

[@Sam-gf1eb]

Some apps will be more demanding on your CPU, some on your GPU. Most of the time it will be the GPU, but it's good to have a good CPU and GPU

[@bluedevil678]

Loving the coverage of VR technology! Very progressive!

[@damianduden]

I got my hands on the Quest 2 a week ago. I would like to say I totally recommend it!

[@wo2wz_]

bruh, you need a facebook acc and if you create a dummy itll get banned. plus facebook is just stealing your personal info.

[@damianduden]

@@wo2wz_ I had no problems doing any of that. Also I don’t use my Facebook to other than the Quest 2 lol

@@wo2wz_ my brother is 8 and I made him a facebook account after I got quest 2 and gave my quest 1 to him and he has purchased games and has not been banned and its basically a console so there is a ton of kids that are 7-11

@@tikoniko7458 Ok Tiko, we got it after the first 100 posts... your brother hasn't been banned (yet). People have been banned/ripped off by FB.

Whoever wrote this script, You need to go on a *conventional* diet

[@SnacksLP]

I've an idea. Get a motherboard (2 CPU's and 2 GPU's) specifically invented for VR headsets. Rig so that 1 cpu and 1 gpu per monitor in the VR headset (1 monitor per eye) Tie the player down to the chair so they can't remove it. Get differing cpu's and differing gpu's. Enjoy differing performance and different framerates and enjoy the crazy guy shaking in the chair.

[@chikali2.076]

Bro what🤣💀

[@Dizastermaster.]

Ayyyy glad people haven't forgotten Mirror's Edge

[@giantninja9173]

With all the talk on new hardware I would like to see some updates on how they stack up when running VR. How well does a 5000 series ryzen + 6000 radeon measure up versus another combination of the new tech?

[@GhanashyamSateesh]

Dammit Linus! Where's the Quest 2 review?! Black Friday approaching man! Cmon!!

[@elbowsout6301]

No mention of the need for a processor with AVX instruction set? Kind of surprising you didn't mention that.
