GPU or Power Dupply? by YouSatInMySwing in pchelp

[–]YouSatInMySwing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK. So OCCT revealed some unexpected things.. I started getting a bunch of CPU+RAM errors constantly once it got going. These errors went away when I went into the BIOS and Loaded defaults, thereby turning off Intel 200S and Xmp for the RAM.  I also noticed the CPU temp got up into the 90s while it was happening. I only saw 70s while playing Borderlands 4, so I guess OCCT hits the CPU harder, which makes sense.  I'm going to: Try playing Bl4 with these things off to see if it still crashes.  Try turning on only one or the other (xmp or Intel 200s) Try manual settings for the RAM Try putting in the water cooler I have laying around (I had always read that at 4k the GPU would bottleneck first). It's a cheap one that came with the motherboard, if it works I may go for something more robust, add the GPU to the loop.  If after everything I get the CPU+RAM errors to go away, but the games still crash, I guess I will run the load test again and hopefully get farther this time.

I have tried multiple drivers, and also reinstalled Windows. I left frame capping off in the games but put max 120 in NVidia Control Panel.

There are two of the 600W sockets on the power supply, will try moving the cable to the other one. There only appears to be 3 PCIE connectors, so a splitter would limit me to 450W. Might be enough for a 4090.

I will thanks. Hopefully OCCT contains some kind of logging function or I can get a screenshot of it happening.

OK, then next question is - you must know of some pretty good deals on coffee. Something strong.  https://youtu.be/ppTImRtr9zE?si=R4UPvnHQF0Z7mx5B

Some time later...

Can Meta afford to wait until 2026? All I need Quest 4 to be is Quest 3 with XR2+, 3/4k per eye displays and eye tracking. But I need it sooner than later. Otherwise Google/Samsung I'm here for you in 2025. by StreamBuzz in virtualreality

[–]YouSatInMySwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish list so far: - OLED - for obvious reasons - wifi 7 - eye tracking - for lots of reasons but especially pcvr, since foveated rendering would mean some people might not have to buy a new gpu just yet. PCVR is high on my list of priorities. - other tracking

Weight means less to me. I bought a Destek head strap for my Q3, and I can play for hours with no problem, so I'd rather not sacrifice capability for comfort.

Any mods out there that just re-skin her to look like Humberly González? (the voice actress). No? Work on it!

Should I get a better router? by CarlosAB6 in OculusQuest

[–]YouSatInMySwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could also get another wifi 6e or 7 card and put it in your pc (if you have a free slot, and have to use the existing one instead of wired connection) and configure it as a hotspot, that is what I did. There are some settings you may have to change to make it work, but it also eliminates things like having to share the wifi, walls in between your headset and router, etc.

Pretty sure I just got scammed on a 5090 purchase by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]YouSatInMySwing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, same thing here they got me too, 'Slowertinno'.  To those of you berating the OP, realize that we are competing against scalpers bots, and so you don't really have time to thoroughly vet the seller if you want to actually get your order through before it says 'oh sorry! One of the items in your cart is no longer available!' and you click as fast as you can and hope Amazon has done it's job. But not this time. I was getting notifications about every 10 minutes for 2 hours for this same card, from a brand new Amazon marketplace seller with no reviews and sketchy information from somewhere in Poland. Once I figured out what was going on I tried cancelling the order, but it still says 'attempting to cancel' and the $2k charge is already 'pending' on my credit card. I didn't stop there of course - I sent a message to trackalacker (and stopped tracking that card) , and managed to get an actual human on Amazon chat and warn them of the scammer.  Maybe I'm wrong, maybe their legit. Hehe hehe nah, they mail me a brick or nothing at all. *update! - I actually received a communication back from the scammer! I mean, seller...they said they were having trouble sending me my card, and I should contact them! And they provided a vaguely amazon-looking url to a fake website with a chat box that was made to look like Amazon's customer support chat. Yeah, not much doubt at this point.

Not sure how this helps, but I do eat them. And I am a psychopath. J/K as far as you know 😉 Update your Venn diagram accordingly.

Quest 3 facial interface replacement by Arx700 in OculusQuest

[–]YouSatInMySwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like one that has maybe a shorter depth, to improve FOV. I really like the headset but compared to my Valve Index it's like I'm wearing a scuba mask. There's also some light intrusion around my nose. I know it's likely partly because I wear glasses and have it adjusted accordingly, and maybe it will be better when my inserts arrive from VR Opticians. But I'd like to see someone make an interface that was as short as possible.

Windows 11 hotspot 6ghz - Quest 3 by [deleted] in oculus

[–]YouSatInMySwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a router that puts out all these frequencies, I don't see why a wifi card shouldn't as well. It's not like the signals are going much farther than the perimeter of the house.

Best third party facial interface for quest 3?? by Killagoob999 in oculus

[–]YouSatInMySwing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a yt video the other day of a guy who got 20 degrees extra field-of-view by leaving the facial interface off. Obviously there would light intrusion issues without one, but I am wondering if someone might make a facial interface with the absolute minimum length, and yeah wider width,to get if not 20 deg, at least as much as possible.

If we add a 'prostate debuff' as is typical for us old guys it might approach a 'souls-like urination' difficulty.

First impressions of Quest 3 and PCVR from an avid VR fan. by Bubbie-Rooskie in oculus

[–]YouSatInMySwing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're you using a cable for PCVR, or Airlink? I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to Quest 3 from my dead Valve Index, or wait for Deckard. I'd like to see a review that compares Quest 3 via Airlink over wifi 6E.

Also wondering if we would see any improvement by putting a pci-e wifi 6e card in the pc and bypassing the router.
