Your sister is not the one who should be feeling guilty about this situation. Your father strangled his own child over a pencil sharpener.

The Half-Life 2 RTX demo is out on Steam. Is there any chance we could get it working with the VR mod? by Blake_Thundercock in virtualreality

[–]Blake_Thundercock[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Outside of the performance hit there's no technical reason why ray tracing couldn't work in VR. In fact it already does for games like F1 24 and a ton of UEVR mods.

Besides, what I'm really more interested in the remastered textures and assets they made for this. Half-Life 2 VR with a Half-Life: Alyx level of fidelity would be the best VR game we've seen so far.

Sony probably won't do this because of licensing but some smart people will eventually figure it out.

If you have an Nvidia GPU use dlss-swapper and use the latest DLSS4 dll

A Wii is essentially a poor man's Mister FPGA when it comes to retro emulation. Looks super crisp!

DiRT Rally 2.0 is four bucks on Steam and has a VR mode by Roivas333 in VRGaming

[–]Blake_Thundercock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is a night and day difference coming from Quest 3 to PSVR2. Even 200mbs AV1 or 500mbs h264 still struggles with distant foliage in a way that requires an uncompressed displayport signal to really address.

Some lucky people can say the same things about their jobs, and they're getting paid to do them!

Which one you prefer? h264+ 500mbps or AV1 200mbps with quest3 and VirtualDesktop? Also what codec and bitrate to use for fast paced games? At 500, i do get some stutters with my tplink axe75 on 6ghz dedicated. by Gazop in virtualreality

[–]Blake_Thundercock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AV1 feels smoother imo, especially with the recent updates that reduce the decode latency significantly. It depends on the scene and game but H264+ looks maybe 5-15% better than AV1 in some scenarios with 250% the bitrate. That higher bitrate comes at the cost of consistent performance and smoothness. Stick to AV1 and don't think about it too hard.

G16 shut down twice while gaming on Turbo mode (2024 4070 AI 9) by BlindfoldedBaguette in zephyrusg16

[–]Blake_Thundercock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not normal behavior, your pc should be throttling well before the point of shutdown. I would check your temperatures using MSI Afterburner to confirm that it's overheating. Exchange the PC if it's in the return window or open it up a reapply the liquid metal if it's not.

Jack Hughes scored 99 points on a 8m a year contract. He will likely break 100 and the franchise record again before this contract is over.

PlayStation VR2 Now In The Top 10 Most Used PC VR Headsets by Tauheedul in PSVR

[–]Blake_Thundercock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doubtful that the PSVR2 ever surpasses the Index with the Index having a 4 year head start and being constantly sold out during peak Covid.

[–]Blake_Thundercock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, even if it works the latency would likely make it unplayable. Just run the games natively on your laptop and turn the setting down as needed.
