fnknan Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) I've got the new oculus quest 2 and it's incredible. Completely changes the experience. You don't even need a pc to play be as it already has a CPU inside. If you do wanna play it on a pc for sim games ect then you need a usb type c 2.0 or above cable to plug it in. It's the best one available for the price and it's what most people are buying right now . This SIM rig is one of the reasons beside my actual car that I'm taking a break from RC lol Edited March 13, 2021 by fnknan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been looking at the oculus quest 2 seems really good. Will look into it a bit more first as im always worried something new is just round the corner.

The graphics look okay, do you think it's good enough for the immersive feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something decently powerful I have a gtx1080ti Intel i5 9600k And a z390 motherboard 16gb ram That's about the minimum I'd run for VR, will cost about a grand. Can run most games in vr on medium high settings at 90fps. When not in vr it will run most games at well over 144fps besides cyberpunk which fluctuates from 40-70 but that games pretty unoptimised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that it's definitely is immersive enough, even when running on lower graphics settings, sometimes I'll even forget I'm playing a game. It's amazing. It's really good if you wanna transfer driving skills from game to real life, that's my main reason for it as I wanna practice drifting all the time, but there's only limited drift days and I have limited funds, so if you think about it, the setup basically pays for itself in terms of not needing to spend money on track time, fuel, tyres, repairs, upgrades ect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
