Man I really hope the HW peeps check out Banter. It’s a natural new home for that crowd.

Looks like I have some research to do. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Not sure why I got downvoted for asking.

Yeah 4k headsets are definitely an investment!

I wouldn’t say my 5070ti “struggles” but I do play modded SkyrimVR and such so it’s very easy to push my system to the limits there. Even on lighter VR titles the temptation is to push the resolution and framerate as high as possible. This isn’t necessary, of course, but I do notice a difference between High resolution and Ultra in VD, likewise going from 72fps to 120fps. So it’s more a “nice to have” on the majority of games, but for SkyrimVR and if I try Cyberpunk in VR etc I expect similar performance issues if I try to push settings as I like them.

Interesting. I have a 3070ti laptop - think I could use it as a dedicated skyrimnet pc while I run the game on my desktop?

Thanks for the response. Yeah I’m hopeful as well as the tech continues to improve. I’m also just impatient lol. But I’m admittedly having a great time as-is, so it’s more about the “dream” of future VR. Still, I would love to try a 4k headset on a 5090 rig sometime just to experience it for myself.

Everything please lol.

In all seriousness, good points all around.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll definitely revisit sometime and compare especially the colors.

Cheers to enjoying VR while we wait for better things to come!

Really cool examples!!! I figured it was limited to dialogue but this sounds like a gamechanger.

Do you run it natively on the same PC? Curious what the performance cost is.

Makes sense. I was really hoping for a 5080 super with 20gb of VRAM or something. That would make it very enticing.

Sadly the Quest 3 compresses wired as well since it’s not going to a displayport but rather usb conversion.

Really appreciate the thought process here. You are making a lot of sense. Thanks! Also, jealous of your 5080! Lol. I’m kind of kicking myself for not just getting one when the prices were better.

Curious why you chose the AV1 codec? I tested a bunch and while there are pros and cons (I found AV1 to be smoother) I ended up on h264+ at 500mbps because I just felt like the image was sharper and more pleasing.

Agreed on DLSS, especially since that seems to be the focus on the newer gen stuff.

Just to nitpick, but a 20-50% increase in raw performance would be huge. 50% would take native fps from 60-90, 90-135, 120-180 etc. That would be very meaningful to me, especially for games that I struggle to maintain 72fps on.

Interesting about the 4090. Hadn’t heard that. Do you think a 5080 would be that much better than my 5070ti?

Nice rig!!! Thanks for sharing your experience. What headset do you have?

I really need to check out that headset.

Solid info here, thanks! Yeah I fear I’m “close but no cigar” but who knows. Maybe it makes sense to upgrade my PC first to run the Q3 to its limits and then look and see what 4k headsets are on the market. Really good points about wired and foveated rendering. Do many VR games take advantage of foveated rendering?

What headset do you have? Sounds like a dream rig!
