I've driven Spa in real life at racing speed. As with pretty much every track, the speed makes it feel really bumpy especially under braking where your vision is blurred by the vibrations. Real racing is like racing in a early gen VR headset. Reading signs in the distance? Forget it. You won't be reading them close up either, due to vision blur.

We’re you playing VD or wired? I tried VD and I get weird stuttering from the environment like when going around corners. Half life and Star Wars ran fine. I was using VD on high with 90hz and I have a 4090. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. My performance overlay reports 3ms for the game 4ms for decoding, 7ms for network and 12-14ms for decoding. Seems like good numbers. If I’m just sitting in the car and move my head around it’s smooth and fine.

90 Hz is the limit in Link mode, at least with the cable. 120 Hz definitely works in stand alone. Not familiar with house VD works but if it's not using Link in any way, then maybe it can leverage the 120 Hz since I assume it's running in app in standalone mode.@@dtrjones

I'v played AC and ACC on Quest 2 and Reverb v2 and ACC was always trash. AC looked way better. The main reason I sent them back was because of the small sweet spot. Reverb was sharper, but smaller sweet spot. Quest 2 was softer overall but sligtly bigger sweet spot. The biggest flaw was not able to see whats in the mirrors just by looking away of the center and small viewing angles. Are you able to clearly see what's in the mirrors without moving your head but just by moving your eyes?

The figures I saw playing a demanding game was for 45 minutes the headset when plugged in used about 20% of battery.

Yes, the cable was actually plugged in for this, keep in mind I had 120hz ticked as well which draws a bit more but I think the battery has gotten a little better, maybe it needed a few cycles.

Is it worth the glasses or buying a 49-inch curved monitor??? It's just that with my level of English it's difficult for me to understand everything HAHA.

The Kuject link cable may be the answer to battery life issues in PCVR. I had battery drain issues with my Quest 2 until I purchased the Kuject cable. It has a port to inject power from the headset charger and maintains the battery at about 75% charge while you play. I can run double stints in endurance races with no worries about a dead battery.

I enjoyed your 1st impression of the Quest 3 playing ACC in VR. If I only wanted to spend no more than $500 for a PCVR headset strickly for ACC and AC, is Quest 3 it?

@JasonStorm11 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks, yes, the Rift S is a great headset in my opinion but I don’t really use mine anymore for a few reasons, meta doesn’t support the Rift S anymore so you would have to buy second hand and if there’s an issue with the cable or something they can’t help you, in saying that newer VR headsets a come a bit of a way since then, resolution is better, screen door effect is better, lenses are better (on most headsets anyway), tracking algorithms are better, I personally find the head tracking to be better on the quest 2 and 3 compared to the Rift S and the Rift S is limited to just 80hz, the few benefits to the Rift S would be lower latency, more comfortable out of the box and if your using a lower to mid range gaming PC the Rift S is an easier headset to power with a lower end GPU but I would probably go a quest 3, there is the HP reverb G2 which is popular for sim racing as well but I haven’t used it and would probably only recommend if you have a good GPU, I have heard good things about it, I have debated buying one to try it out but I went a HTC cosmos elite with gear VR lens mod instead

Depends what titles your planning on running, most titles in sim racing are pretty good with a 3060 but you won’t be able to run max settings and resolution in this game (ACC) in saying that, ACC performs better on Nvidia compared to AMD in my testing by 20 or more FPS with equivalent graphics cards, (keep in mind ACC is also CPU intensive when racing against AI) I have a 3070 that I used to use in my sim and it actually worked well on high settings but 3060 you may have to run mid settings in this game, other sim titles like AMS2 and factor 2 and iracing will be okay though
