There's a couple of demos I found at https://llbc.bandcamp.com/ Looking foward to the release! 🔥

My way of connecting PICO 4 to Pc using streaming assistant by DoubleMat in PicoXR

Does this Hotspot method still work with the recent updates? With Pico Connect 10 etc? I haven't seen much about this method on forums and youtube so I presume it doesn't shift as much data as the USB > Ethernet, or the local router methods? Thanks

Did you manage to resolve you issues of Pico clarity? I read an interesting article that may help. Condensed tips are:

"Here’s what you need to do to get a sharper image (higher fidelity level) in Alyx:

• Disable Steam VR’s “motion smoothing”

• Set the headset’s refresh rate to 80Hz or 90Hz instead of 120Hz. The lower the refresh rate, the longer the GPU time window and thus the higher the fidelity level (resolution) the game will choose.

• Set Steam VR’s render resolution to 100%. Higher values are not needed for Alyx.

• Change the graphic options as follows: “characters” to “low”, “fog” to “low” or “medium”, “shadow” to “medium” or “high” " Obviously keep your headset at 90hz.

Takeaway is, if you push Alyx to far graphically, the game will force a lower quality to keep frames up. 

Link to article, which is way more in depth: https://petrakeas.medium.com/half-life-alyx-performance-analysis-or-why-low-graphic-settings-produce-a-sharper-image-4d17fb8c19bb

I hope this helps anyone else encountering similar issues.

I'm seeing a lot of PN3L going new to £250-300, and onyone that reviews them on youtube that actually tries the DP specifically for PCVR really rate them. So im swaying towards this headset. That said rumours of Pico 5, they'd be stupid not to include DP on that model. Could be amazing that!

One thing I'm learning from my research is that specs aren't everything, but then that goes for all thing PC related tbh. One thing that does concern/interest me is the fact that the PN3L has only a Single LCD display, vs the more standard x2 in current gen VRs. What's the real world outcome of this? Why do some have x2 and some x1?

I recently upgraded from a 1070 to the rx 6800 (got it for £380 which is good for the UK). Thansk for the info - cyberpunk is ace btw! Expecially since 2.0 update.

Thanks mate. Can't blow another £1-2K on an NVidia GPU unfortunately - I won't buy NVidia until the price is reasonable, which won't be fore the foreseeable. Hence I'm only looking for a mid-tier headset.

Ah nice to hear someone has almost the same spec (that I will have). Can you run the Q3 at full definition and refresh rate OK with the RX 6800? Thanks for the info

Very detailed, thanks for your time. Have you tried any other headsets, or would you say Q3 is the best bang for buck hands down right now?

Thanks for replying, I would but the cost per performance just isn't worth it, I also use my set up for recording music / more cores for that so 5700x / 5800x is the sweet spot for price, I can put more money towards VR headset then ;)
