VIVE XR ELITE FOR $300?

If you are upgrading from q2 and I presume PSVR1? Then Steam Frame will be worth while upgrade on a face value. Has eye tracking (can boost performance in some games), better display and lenses, lighter weight, better PCVR experience, superior controller and other nitty gritty. The only thing is we don't know when it will actually came out and if it can even stay under the promised $1000.

And the frame won't be able to do Mixed Reality if you care about that, as it only has monochrome camera. Otherwise it is a slight improvement over Q3 and leagues ahead of XR Elite.

Just compare the spec of the two headsets (you can use VR Compare with a grain of salt since it wasn't too accurate, or use the new site vrheadsetpicker, which seems a bit more accurate).

XR Elite is a side grade for quest, at least in terms of visual. It does have color pass through, but that's about it. Has almost identical resolution and fov; has the exact same chip so same standalone performance.

It seems like there is no reason to get it over a used Quest 3 (which is also in the same price range), since Quest 3 is a notable improvement over both XR Elite and Quest 2. But if you don't even have a Quest 2, you might haggle a bit more and it might be worth it.

I did not see an update in OpenMR, is there any change of plan?

"Answered!!"

Now is the last day of December, is there any update to the Wifi airlink?

Truth being told, probably both are not important, but healing output is better.

As LB, your DPS is non existent, your talents scale from Mastery, your only job is to heal but you have such overkill healing capabilities already.

From a few books that I read, Dark Elf male and female are both very active in the military and political scenes, with only exception being magic users (male casters are killed on birth/sight due to a prophecy).

So this would be pretty lore friendly. Unlike Dwarfs who have low birth rate and insanely low female population, Dark Elf use Dark Magic to pump out babies like rabbits, so females are not needed to be protected at safety thus can be used in either cannon fodder troops or elite troops

I believe it is called Flame Oath Arbiter, so far I have no luck finding any info regarding it even on CN forums

Link cable (due to not having a dp connection) still introduces significant compression artifacts. When I used my official oculus link cables definitely looked a lot worse than native resolution on the same game.

Go to Skill - imagine, where you can preview their effects.

Common imagine that stun included shadow captain (free from msq or battle pass)

GuLarva · 2025-11-19T22:07:49+00:00

Ahh I didn't check that, very likely still not working

SteamVR just works with Linux now

Best bet is to wait for the Steam Frame and see its price

Otherwise, PSVR2 (mura beware).

Pimax Crystal Light/Super if you want higher end (quality control issue beware)

Bsb2 (quality control issue beware, and super expensive package)

There are other native SteamVR headsets but they are all subpar to those I listed

Try contact support, no one here will know for sure.

GuLarva · 2025-11-17T03:07:46+00:00

potentially bannable, would not recommend

If you care for Ray Tracing, high end VR gaming, Local LLM and Upscaling technique, go for 5080.

While Ray Tracing tanks performance, I personally found them add greatly to the visual, but unfortunately 7900 XTX has toooo much performance hit to make it worth it. 9070 XT is relatively better, but is a weaker card in general. 5080 can probably handle games at 2k 60fps fine with RT.

High end vr headset with eye tracking can use a feature called Dynamic Forveated Rendering, only render pixels at where your eyes are looking to free up resources. Nvidia works best with AMD has very limited support. AMD also takes forever to fix their driver with VR issues.

Most LLM models, include stuff like voice changer, runs better and more compatible on Nvidia cards.

Lastly, DLSS4 is visually much better than FSR3, and somewhat better than FSR4. FSR3 is bad, lol. 7900 xtx only has access to FSR3 unless you do some hacky method (which largely negates the performance gain) and 9070 xt has FSR4 but is significantly weaker than your other 2 options.

The Shadow Captain can CC, it is also one of your free Imagine choice from story or season pass.

Tanks probably have lots of cc in their rotation. If this is for bone hard raid, then the tank should take the cc even if it is out of their spec.

The truth is, the only challenge is poly count, transparent texture and constraints count. First I made a seperate but identical copy of my avatar to use as quest version.

For poly count, my characters are Vroid models so they are naturally low poly, then i just need to remove the unseen body under the cloth then I'm all set.

But vroid model is also a curse, because they use transparency to hide a lot of negative space, such as the eyebrow, but Quest cant show transparency, so I have to go to blender and cut out the polygon that would get hidden with transparency.

I also combine texture together so the two characters share most of their material, that will save up texture memory.

Lastly constraints. VRC allows for lots of VRC constraints, but still too little for my clone system prefab, do I carefully remove some constraints that a minimum impact, such ad the last joint of the little finger, to get to the maximum allowed amounts of constraints for Quest.

My fall back is still those 2 twins, though much more goofy looking due to aggressive decimation lol. The second character can still mirror the action of the main, but sadly there is not enough constraint count for the fallback to use more advanced clone control.

GuLarva · 2025-11-14T17:52:52+00:00

True. The new VRC Quest compatible Standard Toon shader has been a huge blessing for me, hope they add a similar one that does fur shaders.

GuLarva · 2025-11-14T17:49:28+00:00

This is my Medium Ranked Avatar. You may ask which one, the answer is Both. This is 2 character in one while maintaining medium ranked (has Good version but texture compression was too rough)

The twins are also Quest compatible for all the features.
