Rift / Vive / VR General

Well if that's the case then... Anyone who plays half assed VR "mods" that require keyboard and mouse should just play flatscreen. And then kill himself in the most gruesome way possible.

managed to snatch 4090 for $750. Should come tomorrow so i will probably try SH2 in VR. My 3090 barely plays it at max

doubt indeed. Seller seems shaky as fuck. Probably got scammed.

 

[Perkel]

Well i got scammed. $750 down the drain. But i bought in the end "second" RTX4090 for $1250...
Jesus fuck 4090 is sooo fucking fast. And this comes from the guy that had 3090 for past 1,5 year.

When last time i tried Cyberpunk 2077 in VR i could get only ~40fps with low-medium settings with no raytracing at around 1600x1600. I did try pathtracing but i would get like 5 fps.
Video from 3090 and Quest 2:


This is RTX4090 and Pico 4, max details + pathracing:


Weirdly LukeRoss mod changes something and video feed looks choppy in 2D but it is very smooth in actual VR.

Some demos available during the Steam Next Fest

 

[Venser]

Meh, nothing to be even remotely excited about

 

[Oropay]

Eh, a couple of those are probably Red Matter 2 tier
Haven't tried them myself yet: just posted them because they have convenient, free demos

I've been on a 4090 since launch week and unless the 5090/6090 has some bullshit feature they arbitrarily lock me out of, I have zero desire or need to upgrade because I'm already getting well above what I need at native 4K and that's not even factoring in DLSS and frame generation.

Whatever Valve puts out next (if ever) I'll be ready. Especially if they do some sort of foveated rendering.

 

[Perkel]

For some reason i forgot to mention what was now my experience on c77 with 4090.

went from:
3090 -> 4090
1660x1660 per eye -> 2300x2300 per eye
low-medium details -> max details
no raytracing -> path tracing
~40-50fps -> 70fps (lock)

Batman Arkham Shadow has been getting all-around good reviews

Lame this is only on a very specific console looks like not coming to PC ever.

They must have downgraded the living shit out of this game. I'd pirate it but i have Q2 and i'm not switching to Q3 any time soon.

You can pirate it on Quest 2 and it works fine.

Might try it in future then. Thanks, man!

Trying out the newly released Whitewater VR on PSVR2 to see how it compares to Kayak VR: Mirage. Will play some Batman after

 

[Venser]

Looks pretty good. Wiping the blood of the screen to be able to read it (at 4:58 in the video) is such a cool little interaction.
