My friend is running an i7-920 and a rx480. The only games we play that he gets judder in are elite and warthunder. Been playing a lot of serious sam recently, which has hilarious recommended specs (6 core i7, fury or 1070), runs on his box smooth as butter.

I've used a 970, 1060 and 1070 all to great effect, I don't think there is much of a difference with the current generation of games besides specifics like Elite: Dangerous - still very playable but smoother with a 10-series card.

I've put together a core i7-6700 machine with 16gigs of ram and a nice beefy SSD, and now I'm eyeing what video card I should be working towards. Will a gtx 1060 or maybe 1070 cut it for me? If I blow my bankroll too hard on a card, it's gonna be quite awhile until I can get the VR setup to use with it... Either of those should work. I have a 1070 and love it, aside from VR stuff it runs everything else like a beast.

Yeah, either will easily handle it. 1070 would mean you could do more supersampling and stuff is all.

There's currently no shipping thread on the Oculus subreddit and the Oculus site says usually ships in two business days. So it might be available right now. Amazon says out of stock but Best Buy says available.

I've always wanted to get a Vive, and the combination of it going on sale for $100 until Wednesday, and my getting $500 this Christmas, has got me seriously thinking about making that jump. I have a 1080 GTX, so I'm set as far as PC hardware. I still have concerns, though. I've only tried modern VR once; it was a demo of the Vive at a Microsoft store, and I played the Brookhaven Experiment. I came away surprised at the resolution; it looked more pixelated that I was expecting. Is this a normal experience? And I've just heard about supersampling with the Vive, how much can that help? Was the resolution I experienced due to a limit in the software (because of PC hardware concerns), or because of the headset hardware? And is this something that is really noticeable, or does the VR effect make up for it? I'm also curious what people think the next year will look like for VR, if we're expecting upgrades to the Rift or Vive, and what it might bring.

The resolution is a bit low. Unless there was something weird going on, the resolution you saw is the resolution you get. Super sampling can help a bit. The image is rendered at a higher resolution and shrunk down so it looks a bit sharper. It's noticeable but not super drastic. If you are super interested in getting VR, go ahead and get a Vive. If you're waffling right now and you're on the fence about the cost, don't get anything. Wait for something better. If there is going to be anything coming out next year, we'll probably hear about it in the first few months of 2017. I'm expecting more 2018 for a new version of the Vive or Rift.

Hardware question: As a (very) long-term project, I'm planning on upgrading my computer eventually. I already know my video card won't be enough for VR, but what about my processor? I have an Intel Core i5-2500K, currently running at 3.30GHz, but I can overclock it up to 3.70 I think. That seems lower than the numbers people here are usually throwing around; I'm not going to need a new processor too if I want to mess with VR stuff, am I? That'd really suck; I mean, this isn't something I'd be doing any time soon anyway, but one more part to replace is another few hundred dollars.

But by time you actually get your stuff it'll just be that much older, who knows what killer game comes out in the next year, just wait for gen 2. I love vr but it's not worth buying a new computer for yet, it's still pretty raw in terms of content unless you have a lot of disposable income or already have a sweet computer.

That era had first gen USB3 and no Sandy bridge chipset that I know of has Oculus supported USB3. I'm running a 2500k and I had to buy a PCIE USB3 card to get reliable tracking. I'm going to upgrade my system just to get a more officially supported environment.

Revol posted:I'm also curious what people think the next year will look like for VR, if we're expecting upgrades to the Rift or Vive, and what it might bring. I expect we'll get the new Vive controller sometime this year, an optional upgrade that gives it Touch-like hand tracking. We'll also see the official release of the TPCAST wireless kit for the Vive, though someone (possibly the ReVive guy) will probably get it working for the Rift. I also give an outside chance at a sort of "Vive Slim" in the later half of the year, a new kit with the improved lighthouses and integrated tracking chips, bundled with the new controllers. It would have the same resolution as the existing Vive, and be fully cross-compatible in games, but be cheaper and significantly lighter.

FWIW, I have an i5-2500 and haven't had much difficulty with my Rift so far. The only issue I had was with one of the rear USB3 ports not recognizing the camera during initial setup, but swapping ports with the headset fixed the problem, and it hasn't recurred since then. If I wind up getting Touch before upgrading my PC (likely, since I've got my eyes on AMD's new chip), though, I'll probably have to get one of those PCIE cards.

The touch is a better controller than the vive wands but you may have more problems with roomscale since the rift cable is pretty short and I'm quite sure you need a third camera for comparable coverage as the vive but if all you care about is 360 coverage then oculus is more than enough.

Honestly Onward is the main title luring me away from the simple comforts of PSVR so I want whatever plays that the best. So my next question is, how much does the 3rd camera help with Onward? $80 on top of $200 has me waffling again

Im looking at all the reviews of the touch and it looks like theres only 3 exclusive games that get good reviews: superhot dead and buried the unspoken am i missing any? seems like the rest i can just play on my vive edit: I forgot the climb, but its expensive and i dont really have much desire to pay a lot of money for it when im not sure if i really want to play it over and over coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Dec 27, 2016 |

What are the advantages at this point? It's kinda hard to keep up with all the updates, last time I tried Vive it was very nice but had a pretty narrow sweet spot and it was tougher reading text. has that changed?

I saw some footage of Onward and decided I need in on that stat Onward with Touch and a 3rd sensor for large roomscale works fine. You can probably get away with just using the 2 sensors (an extra one comes with Touch) set up diagonal from each other, but there are some weird bugs that Oculus is aware of and working on that affects some people in that configuration. mellowjournalism posted:What are the advantages at this point?

Just to be clear on my terms, Onward is not "roomscale" because you input locomotion through the controllers, right? I like roomscale enough but I feel like there aren't enough killer titles for me to need it, so if Onward is just 360 then I guess I'll just order Touch and call it a day.Poetic Justice posted:The sweet spot is considerably better on the Rift, everything is pretty much clear edge to edge with the optics they use, the downside, as you know, being the godray beams. Thanks for the info. I can stand godrays way more than blurry poo poo so visually the rift is good enough for me, especially since all 3 systems technically look "like poo poo" to me anyway  so impatient for gen 2 optics already.

If you get the calipers out and measure, I'm sure you'd find that the Vive tracking is more accurate, but you probably wont notice much either way unless you're 10+ feet from the Rift camera. But I think they meant that the Touch controllers are found by many to be more comfortable and have hand tracking features the Vive wands don't, which is true. From what I've seen, most people find the Vive wands more natural for representing things like guns or swords, whereas the Touch works better when representing your actual hand.

I think hes saying the touch are better controllers ergonomically and they are. The problem is in games like space pirate trainer the vive tracking system can track your headset/controllers so well that you can really do some cool stuff, and i dont think the rift has the same level of "body" tracking (space pirate i literally have kneeled down then bent over backwards, not sure if the rift would accurately track that)

I mean.. you can move within your space, but maps are big. I played it fine with the "360" set up, but it was definitely nice to have more space to move once I got the third sensor and had "roomscale". Still moving around the map with the controller. I think I'm confused at what 'roomscale' even mean at this point?

All oculus touch videos ive seen show people standing in like a 2 foot by 2 foot space. Theres no encouragement to move your body, they also REALLY dont want people turning around 180 degrees because it loses all tracking on the hands. Roomscale means you get actual roomscale experiences. Like i dont know how job simulator will work on the oculus when it requires you to turn around in 360 degrees constantly. Yes you can get a third $80 camera and drape a 30 foot USB 3.0 cord around the room but it means developers cant assume everyone has that edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzlvrfDBKDI So much more cramped than the vive version. In the vive version they specifically scale each level to the size of your room (10x10' playspace has a lot more room to move around than a 5x5'), but the oculus touch will ALWAYS make it the most cramped version. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Dec 27, 2016 |

On both systems, the god rays are only noticeable if you have a black screen with a bright shape on screen. In a normal scene, you won't really notice it much.coolskillrex remix posted:Theres actual replayability to it or no? The game requires replaying. You play a game of one of the sports and if you beat the previous score, it unlocks a new feature. Then you have to beat the next set of objectives. Since it's free, you could just play through each kind of game a couple times and call it a day but there's definitely more to the game than what you have available when you first load it up. mellowjournalism posted:I'm also pretty curious how this shook out because i thought the vive has a brilliant and super accurate tracking system ? Both tracking systems are good and accurate. They use IMUs with high update rates for the primary tracking and use their respective tracking solutions to do sanity checks on the IMUs. Neither the oculus camera or the valve lighthouse trackers are able to do much on their own. The cameras are limited in their framerate and the lighthouse is limited to how often it does sweeps. So while you may get millimeter accurate location tracking of the controller, you won't get that for another fraction of a second. By itself, you won't get very fast tracking. Same thing for the cameras. The downside for the cameras is the size of tracking area. The downside for lighthouses is you have to cover every reflective surface in the room or you risk loss of tracking.

The layout of the workspaces in the Oculus version doesn't put anything behind you. It might be the same as the smallest layout in the Vive version I think? Probably the same as the PSVR version anyway.
