Quest 3 is FANTASTIC for PC VR! // Is This The Best Value PC VR Headset?

Props to Zuckerberg and Meta for pushing a lot of their chips into this technology. I think Meta knew that if they played it safe with merely owning Facebook and Instagram, that they would fade into obscurity over time. They’re billions in the hole with this investment but it really is the future, and the quest 3 is a huge pin in that timeline. Exciting times, I can only imagine how refined VR will be in 10 years.

[@Alien_isolationist]

The standalone concept has turned millions of people against VR with many making the statement that "VR is a gimmick". In fact 18 million Quest owners don't play it, only 2 million monthly users.....that's not an advancement or an accomplishment in the industry. If they forced people to hook it to a PC, the user base might be higher, even if sale were lower. Quest 3 graphics still suck, my PSVR-1 hooked to a PS5 blows it out the water, but sure IF you have a decent PC rig it looks like Quest 3 is def the way to go. Sony is still the leader in the VR industry, Meta I the former leader with the last gen headset but until they can prove they can sell millions of this thing at $500-$650 then Sony is in the lead.

[@RehtseStudio]

Dang, now that is a BIG difference in PCVR. Thank you for focusing on the PCVR side of the Quest 3 and clarifying that you also need a nice PC to get the difference. Also, thank you for testing it on different games. Keep it up.

[@jbaris]

It looks like a small improvement but the graphics still look like trash compared to PC or movies. I wish these companies would just skip like 3 or 4 iterations of minor improvements and just jump to something that is really good. Something with 270+ FOV and 4x the resolution. I think that would bring a lot more interest into the VR world.

Like hold your hands in front of your face and wave them back and forth as quickly as you can. I sense a noticable difference between my quest 2 and my PC based Rift S when I do this.

[@Rhonu]

Thank you for this video! I've been eyeballing the Q3 for a while now, didn't preorder because I wanted to wait for solid information on whether it was good for PCVR, and I've been hearing good thing but this video really sold me on it. I'll be ordering ASAP, and because I'm upgrading from a Rift S I know the difference is gonna be mind-blowing. I can't wait!

[@psyedk]

would've loved to see some q2 through the lens comparison footage. solid vid regardless you actually like playing without the facial interface? i mean you keep mentioning you wish contrast was higher and surely that would fix it

[@KindOldRaven]

I think the FoV thing really depends on your IPD in Q3 vs Index because I've heard several people, who own both, state that there's basically no difference. While some claim there is. I'm thinking either facial interface or their IPD being different might account for that.

[@cia4gent128]

I got Q3 and the Hfov is 110 and Vfov100

[@xhappymasksalesmenx4092]

Pretty noticeable for me coming coming from quest 2. But the fov is nearly identical from the index. But you could get a little more but removing the facial interface and using the bobovr head trap if it’s comfortable to you

[@multireel7590]

Unfortunately the default face mask doesn't allow the lenses to get quite as close to the eyes as they can be and thus some extra FOV remains unused. Removing the whole face mask and holding the Q3 as close as possible made quite the FOV difference for me! We really need an alternative face mask and another kind of head strap that doesn't press the Q3 into your face. That BoboVR M3 head strap is nowhere available... @@cia4gent128

[@db_030]

Feels like I need another 1 hour video of you playing Cyberpunk VR 😁

[@contrabardus]

The aliasing is my only minor gripe with Quest 3. This is partially due to it using two screens that are at an angle inside the headset, so it doesn't quite do horizontal surfaces as well as you'd think given the resolution and lens improvements. This is a trade off for the horizontal and vertical FOV the angled lenses provide, and I think it's worth it, but you will notice that there's a small bit of aliasing on the edges of straight lines. More on the horizontal than the vertical. This is a very small gripe and overall it is an complete upgrade over the Quest 2. I wish there was a better way to get through the lens footage for stuff like this. It never looks as good as it does to your eyes, it's always washed out and blurrier than the actual headset.

Yeah the debug tool is great to squeeze more performance. Tip for sim racers. I reduce the vertical plane of view (forget what it’s actually called) to 0.6 when sim racing and I get about a 30-40% dump in GPU performance. It replicates a similar view if you where wearing a helmet, which you would be anyway. With that extra performance on hand you can increase fidelity in game. Of course if you prefer to look at your legs or the sky whilst racing that wouldn’t be for you 😊

[@CalrissianRose]

When talking about resolution, FOV clarity and purely specs yes its great. But link. The free option that comes with the headset has serious usability issues still! And its laughable No microphone support at launch (took over a year and a half to fix on quest 2 here we are again) ,no access to essential options like brightness or party chat while in link. Still tied to the horrible rift dashboard causing crashes and hanging constantly. We were promised a native link interface 3 years ago? Abandoned. This is not good enough. And yes virtual desktop a third party solution that costs money (cost of the app and a good enough router is not cheap on top of a £620 headset) can "fix" it for most games. But not all, VD isn't compatible with all games most cross buy versions of games don't work with vd at launch, games like Zennith, hellsweeper etc just aren't compatible with VD at all. I wish these problems would be highlighted by KZbinrs So meta fixed it rather than just shilling. Imagine if ps5 launched with no mic support and half your games crashed if you tried to go to the home screen or access party menu) why are meta getting a free pass for basic usability features?

Its so exciting to see the positivity and buzz around this headset compared the pro launch.

I'm also glad to see they went with the pancake lenses which is something Sony really should have done for the PSVR2.

Amazing how could you even think on having a 4090 and use it with VR wireless, your are totally limited on bitrate bandwidth with wireless, on USB link you can get a LOT better image quality, if you really want to know what level of quality you can get with a 4090 in PC VR with Quest 2, 3, or Pro. Let me know.

Seems like if anyone were to try and top the Quest 3 at $500 from now until whenever a Quest 4 is launched, it will absolutely need to be an OLED display with pancake lenses.

I guess it's still an upgrade to the Quest 2, but I'm thinking a native PCVR HMD pulls a little bit ahead for the time being.

[@garytebbenham6843]

I’ve only got a 3060ti and yep everything looks crisper in the Q3 compared to my Q2 and FOV better. I’d say there’s a 30-40% improvement in clarity. What’s also noticeable is that there’s less compression artifacts if any. I have only tested with link cable at 400mbs but will have to try as Ben did with wireless. I read somewhere that the image produced for pancake lenses requires less processing power than fresnel so could be that. Contrast and colours are still the limiting factors compared to PSVR2, though.

According to reviews, that AV1 makes little to no noticeable difference to wireless and the link cable gives a better picture.

Meaning not choppy! This is meanly because of the 120 Hz. but also the power of the Q3. And it will probably become even better with WIfi7 coming next year!

Its good headset for the price but for exclusively PCVR still better to get something with DisplayPort as you lose performance and quality doing all that encoding/decoding to stream video. For me psvr2 is unusable wish i never bought it the mura effect looks horribad and on quest 3 i only noticed very light mura on mostly loading screens that have same color background. Bigscreen Beyond is the one im waiting for to upgrade my Index as i need most ease of use to use full body tracking dont really want to deal with all that extra software to get quest working with it. I would not really compare it to Index as far as visuals its a 4 year old headset Quest 3 looks much better about as good as hp reverb g2 but pancake lenses is what makes it overall better. To get most out your Quest 3 need to get dedicated wifi 6e router and 40 series GPU to do av1 encoding.

It works as you would expect with airlink but it's just a smoother easier experience with virtual desktop, It's honestly worth the money. I've also noticed slight performance improvements when playing through VD.

[@YoBrand15]

@@FireElFreak airlink takes like one minute to set up, I've heard vd is more cumbersome. Also air link works perfect for me but I know its different for different rigs/setups

[@FireElFreak]

@@YoBrand15 yeah it varies, and when I say it’s a smoother experience I mean after you get everything set up, once you have your settings right it just feels like games run smoother when I’m using virtual desktop but maybe that’s just my rig

I'm going from a Rift to Quest 3, this difference is amazing!

[@adamkreuz9068]

Any plans to go over your PC setup? I'm looking to build but I'm new so it's nice to see what to look for as far as parts/performance.

[@CallumAFK]

Omg when you switched to showing that room through the lens i thought it was passthrough! that is INSANE quality compared to Quest 2!

[@Optimiser113]

Now if only my new Quest 3 would pair with my phone so I could use it! 😡

[@MemekoASMR]

How's the strain on the PC considering everything is being compressed through the USB C port rather than a display port?

[@Sazuko]

Pico 4 is better than Quest 3 for PCVR, i have both and use both alot for various testing and dev. Quest 3 is better at stand alone and AR, but pico4 better experience at pcvr, especially if you use virtual desktop usb tethering.

I'll be upgrading from a rift S that I've never had controllers for. I've been playing racing and flying games exclusively and the tunnel vision is atrocious. Can't wait for it to get here.

[@Iionmask]

Did you remove the face gasket? Does it increases the FOV?

[@DouglasThompson]

It was actually text on the back of the can in half life alyx.

[@El_Grande_Jefe]

Anybody saying anything about the SHAKES? Does this guy have Parkinson's or this thing is jerky.

[@junglcat9829]

oh man, you did me so good here on the praise that I just bought the bloody thing them Quest 3, just bought in Germany with a premium strap and a pc cable. AND thank You sooo much at that!! Could you perhaps elaborate, I have had Oculus Rift S for 5 years now, how much of a quality bump is it going to be as compared to the quest 3 in terms of FOVs as well as resolution? Cheers and thank you so much for this review. :)

[@ryulanda9399]

Damn it I need one, got an extra job in McDonald's lmfao.

[@miclanone]

"If you currently have a Quest 2 then the Quest 3 is a HUGE upgrade for your PC VR experience! " Just above, and reading the rest, i doubt you've ever played with a Quest 2... The Q3 is only 10% higher in resolution then the Q2. Not noticeable at all. Also the OLED screen is ( especially in HL Alyx ) is not in any way better because of smearing on OLED screens. With HLA i prefer the Q2 LCD over the Q3 OLED screen at all times. In other games my preferences may differ. And yes, i own both. Pricewise, the Q2 is a way better buy then a Q3 Also, still playing wired? Specially playing HLA, i suggest you go wireless.. It will be a whole other game..

I have an hp reverb g2 revision 2, which I absolutely love, but since it been discontinued by HP and since Microsoft has announced they are dropping Windows Mixed Media support in 2026, I am thinking of selling it since people are still purchasing it on the used market and might get this vr. Although I seen that unless you are using a 4090, frame rates are an issue. I currently have a 6900xt and a ryzen 7 5800x3d, so dom't know how well it will work. I mostly sim race, occasional no mans sky, skyrim, and fallout 4, along with a few smaller titles. I don't care about using stand alone games, I will keep it teathered to the PC.

[@rikusama13]

I got a Quest 3, came from pico 4. At first I wanted to keep my Pico 4 since the resolution was better, but after tested my friends Quest 3 I was blown away by the mixed reality capabilities and just how the UI is better and the amout of games. Also I could have full body tracking for my PC gaming for exemple Assetto Corsa or VRchat, I got the Quest 3 yesterday and Im still getting amazed

[@leobekmarmarchevfilms]

Great video! Would love a quest 3 vs psvr2 comparison video

[@75Krusty]

Looking good. Talking about HAlf-Life Alyx... You sound a bit like the robot from Portal... A polite englishman/gentleman....he he

[@eeeeyuke]

Guys, I have a 7800x3d and 4070 and I can run HLA at ultra and 72 fps. You can always lower resolution if you need to. The Quest 3 isn't in 4k so needing 4k rendering isn't necessary for a WOW experience.

[@Dlabelmard]

This versatility is what keep the quest from being a paperweight after 2 month. I was still using my quest 2 before ordering my 3

[@Shyningfade]

Wait, how do you get RE2VR to work with Quest? When using Virtual Desktop, I can only launch games through the "games" tab and RE2 isn't there. When I try to start it through Steam it won't broadcast to the Quest. Can anyone help me with this?

[@tobiebrissinck3489]

brother is felxing that he can play on max settings with he's 4090, like bro I can do that too with my 4060 laptop gpu and a i713700H bro it's not that much effort for ur pc. XD

[@josephhodge7343]

You try No Limits 2 yet? If you like rollercoaster, I would give it a try, definitely worth it and fun. Might make you a little sick in the stomach though. There are thousands of rollercoasters you can download from around the world.

[@irollerblade13]

I have a gaming laptop with a nvidia RTX3050 Ti, ryzen 7, and 32 gb's of ram would it be able to be a decent experience with the meta 3 headset?

[@ImBetterThenEveryone]

Aren't you limited at 500mb/s receiving an obviously compressed image?🤨 => making this device garbage vs any good native pc vr headset with pancake lenses and an oled screen? And its a bit heavy on the head also with that battery..

[@LovelyTwilight]

Is it worth it to buy the quest 3 if I already have a quest 2 and only use it for pcvr?

[@jorrgealvarez2064]

So you can play PCVR games on the quest three I need to know because I’m actually trying to get a PC headset because I heard like the PC headset. You can play more games nothing like nice for instants VR chat you can play there’s more Mabs and more characters you can play because of PC headset.

[@boitmecklyn4995]

While I am not a big fan of meta, i'll only get a quest 3 for the exclusives as I already have a dedicated PCVR headset so I don't need a quest 3 for PCVR.

[@supreme84x]

What headphones are you using? What mic? Are they connected via bluetooth, 2.4ghz or plugged into the Quest? How much weight does it add?

[@samuelforsberg1283]

Beardo Benjo: "Jesus Christ!", "How the Hell...". Yes, both are real; Jesus Christ, the Saviour of sinners, and Hell, the final destination of sinners who don't turn to Jesus. Who ever call upon the name of Jesus as his Lord and believe in the heart that Jesus died for our sins and was risen on the third day will have eternal life.

[@FelipeTrotamundos]

is anyone having problems reading text with the passthrough? Meta Quest 3 passthrough phone reading quality is terrible in mine I have to take the headset off every time I want to read something, for sure this is not normal right?. But the VR menus and games look great.
