    Every GPU I owned since 2007 (Fun Topic)

    I always have been pretty selective with buying GPU's, was thinking that it could only get cheaper when I bought my Voodoo as a 16 year old kid. Boy, was I wrong haha, but then again, I was young and money didn't come easy back then. Here is my list: Diamond Voodoo Voodoo 2 from a cheap brand...

    USB 3.2 Gen 2*2 with Meta 3 Link cable

    If you cannot explain it, then you don't even now why you are doing it. It generally isn't very productive to just go replace things left and right without understanding why you need to. 5Gbps is more than five times higher than the highest bitrate possible with the Quest 2/3, which...

    Meta Quest 3

    Not true, if you delete your headset from the account before activating a new one, you can use a referral. You can DM me for a link if you want one.

    GPU recommended purely for 4K video play back?

    I don't know how you move around in the world, but I do not do it sitting on a chair looking at my finger :P I actually tried it, but it didn't give me the same result is HFR in videos does, not close at all. The biggest issue there, is that movies are displayed on a static screen and your head...

    GPU recommended purely for 4K video play back?

    My Vero4K plays these videos without any issues (and has a lot less horsepower than the 1050Ti), I doubt it is the GPU. Even if someone else here has real issues with the same GPU, it might be a completely different issue (as mentioned before here in the thread). Indeed, 24 (23.976 actually)...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    Yeah, it was way better than we had, but still miles off what we have now. But it did kick it off epically of course. And we had CRT monitors back then, which masked a lot of the downsides of low FPS games.

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    In most games and high quality settings in the better games at that time, it couldn't, even when paired with a very good CPU.

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    For me it is the 4090 I have now. I started with the Voodoo 1, which was cool and had a wow factor, but the graphics were still very crude, heaps better than the default cards, but still nothing special in itself. Now with the 4090 I am finally able to really enjoy VR gaming, which for me is a...

    Meta Quest 3

    TwistedMetalGear Ahhh, I understand what you mean now. Fortunately do not have that issue. Could also be that the displays are not mounted correcly on the lenses. I would think that the lenses are not this prone to differences in the manufacturing process. My lenses also are shaped weird near...

    Meta Quest 3

    TwistedMetalGear To clarify, you are not talking about slight out of focus text near the edges, but actual warping? Do you have an image you can find that kind of shows what you mean? I do see some blurriness coming up at the edges of the lenses, but as far as I can tell, the image doesn't...

    Meta Quest 3

    Then it is a toss up, wireless is great now, but you better get a dedicated router/AP and battery life is good if you use a strap with a battery. HL:A is amazing, sim racing even more if you are into that. That is my golden ticket to VR, that keeps on going.

    What made it fun for the week and what made it meh? Depending on the answers, it will or will not be the same. If it was due to the novelty wearing off, it will most probably be the same and you shouldn't drop this much money on it. If it was because you weren't satisfied with its clarity, a...

    Meta Quest 3

    jobert The Quest 3 lenses aren't completely perfect yet, no lens is yet in VR headsets. The effect you see on the Q3 is so much less than with the fresnel lenses are so much worse with the god rays and very small sweet spot. Would never go back to that. But to each their own of course, my Quest...

    Liver With stand alone, I mean on the headset itself. Red Matter 2 can also be played with PCVR, when I play RM2 on the headset itself, it is the first time I am not wanting to play it through PCVR because of the graphics quality. I am sure this will not be the same for all games, but it is...

    Meta Quest 3

    Maybe look at yourself before being very impolite yourself? This thing is GREAT, the clarity is so much better. When sim racing, I can read the distance signs before a turn very well and the whole display is essentially the sweet spot now. This is by far the best thing about the change between...

    New to VR. Trying to learn...

    Tethered VR headsets are tethered headsets. But you can also have untethered PCVR headsets, like the Pico and Quest headsets. Those have wireless streaming options as well as cabled. Standalone just runs the games on the SoC of the headset itself.

    Meta Quest 3

    Looks very interesting, but I have the feeling it will not translate into PCVR due to the streaming component and the delay because of that. Maybe it will only work through (Air-)Link and not VD, which will suck. Hope I am wrong, but we'll see!

    Maybe I am interpreting your answer incorrectly, but if that is what you got from my reply, I think you are ignoring a few other and way more important aspects of my answer ;) AW2 is just a nice bonus and incentivizes to get it early for others. The other reasons are the main reason for me to...

    Yeah, I cannot pick one up here in the Netherlands anywhere at all and if you online order anything in the Netherlands, you are allowed to return it for a full refund within 14 days by law. Add to that, you get Asgarth's Wrath 2 for free and I love the improvements in pancake lenses, the...

    Meta Quest 3

    Add to that that the FoV has been upgraded too, from 90 to 110 horizontal, I pre ordered my Q3. Glad they didn't up the resolution too much, or even my 4090 wouldn't be enough to drive it haha. Eye tracking doesn't work with PCVR the way the Quest streams, so for that purpose it is moot.

    Does my monitor dictate which brand of card is better for me?

    This blanket statement is true, how unfortunate it is. Especially for the Quest since all ways of using the Quest uses streaming. The amount of issues with streaming, double images, one black and one distorted eye, no picture at all, is happening a lot. There are some working drivers, but those...

    Does my monitor dictate which brand of card is better for me?

    Ampere never had structural issues like AMD had in drivers. Every card has mentions of issues on forums, but most of the issues are due to user error. Too high SS, graphical settings and all that. The problem the 7X series card had, was stuttering and low frame rate, only in VR which were...

    Does my monitor dictate which brand of card is better for me?

    It took for over six months for it to be fixed and even then the performance is lower than Nvidia cards. The encoders issue has been fixed, broken and fixed, while the broken period took almost two years and made it useless for Virtual Desktop users. Nvidia cards never suffered these issues at...

    Does my monitor dictate which brand of card is better for me?

    Seeing you are using a Quest 2, I recommend staying with Nvidia. AMD cards have had issues with encoders and other VR issues. I am not sure if you are using Virtual Desktop or even know about it, but in their Discord it has been a glaring issue with AMD cards.

    Best Router for Wireless VR?

    How did you connect it to your PC, directly? If not, I assume cabled and with 1Gb switches? Could you give us a bit more details, also the specs of the PC and settings of your VD.

    Best Router for Wireless VR?

    I have a Quest 2 with the Asus RT-AX55 and that works perfect with VD on HEVC10 at 150. Dedicated of course, best way to get a near stutter less experience.

    Pico 4 - Wireless PCVR at 90hz

    Pico 4 - Wireless PCVR at 90hz

    I want a new GPU for VR!

    I have read the whole thread, Pimax is not known for its good support and more than a few issues. The better headsets do not have the bigger issues you are talking about. Quest 2, Pico 4, G2, Vive and the Steam Valve all perform perfectly fine on the Nvidia 4 and 3 series. The Quest has a...

    Buying today, what are you getting?

    I am not sure what the goal is of this poll, but the choice of a graphics card to buy is based on the use case(s). What game(s) do you play, what monitor do you have in relation to freesync/G-sync, do you use Adobe or other rendering suites, do you use VR, is RT important to you, do you like...

    https://www.stellarinfo.com/blog/kernel-power-41-error-windows-10/ I would consider doing more than just swap GPUs out. It might be something the 4080 does, or something else. Best way to know if it is defective other hardware, is to rule things out. A memtest doesn't cost you much and will...

    blue screen after installing4080

    Kernel 41 is normally PSU or memory. Since you are upgrading from the 9900K to a 13700K, PSU and memory could both be the issue. What PSU do you have? And to be sure, do at least one memtest run to rule out memory issues. Both could still be the issue after warming up, but memory seems more...

    Price doesn't say anything about the quality of a product, only the quality of the purchase. If the product does what you expect it to do, it will do so whatever the price. The product itself doesn't care about its price, it will not decide to function differently. Hence, the quality of a...

    Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

    You do know the same issues apply to the PCIe 6+2 cables? I have seen lots of them melt when they were introduced, but back then the "kick and scream" generation didn't exist yet. That is the only difference. When people have had some experience with the 12VHPW cables/connectors, this will not...
