I'm mostly excited to ramp up the graphics and framerate for Elite Dangerous in VR. I was just going to run it stock, but I have been reading a lot of places to undervolt it, not entirely sure why I would want to do that?
NewEgg sent me a code for an additional $45 off after I kept this in my cart for two days. At ~$405 I bit... seems like it'll be a bit of an upgrade over a 290X
Just curious what the general consensus is on this one. I've been going back and forth on it in my head and I think I'm going with the clean install. But I'm not sure if that's the conditioning Windows and new hardware has had on me. When I went from iPhone 5 to 6+ I restored from backup, and...
Ecosystem: Vive will put you squarely in SteamVR land and Oculus is building it's own ecosystem. And although today they are mostly compatible that's not always guaranteed to be the case. Also if you have anything against Facebook having your data.
Wires: Oculus requires each camera to be...
I didn't say they were cordless? I said I didn't have to run a cable back to my PC....
Yes, I have an outlet underneath each lighthouse. Figuring out a single, much shorter, power cable is so much better than stringing a USB cable 20 feet across the room, and makes my wife much happier.
Plus...
My last sentence admits I could be completely wrong about it. And considering this whole argument was brought about because I have an opinion and you think it's wrong, using how I feel to support my opinion is completely justified.
At the end of the day, I voted with my dollars and bought a...
The LG headset is an upgrade in resolution if I've read correctly. I'm treating the HMD exactly as a monitor. I'm assuming at one point I will be able to buy an HMD with upgraded resolution, refresh rate, etc that will continue to work with the rest of my system as it is today. If those vendors...
Except that PC Monitors are upgradeable...
When you upgrade your video card, do you keep the existing one? No, you replace it. The difference is that you don't need to replace the rest of the computer to do it. The new LG headset coming out, wanna bet that it'll work with the Vive Lighthouses...
I'll admit I missed out on this game the first time around but this surprise release with VR I picked up, and wow is it quite the experience. I'd definitely recommend it if have even the inkling that you might enjoy it.
I said slightly inferior because of the Vive's exterior camera, and the chaperone system. But again, the price difference doesn't make up for a single camera. Running cables from my PC to each of the cameras is something that I'm not going to like very much though. Plus I'd really like to be...
