So my friend is looking for a VR headset for her new PC.
Her specs are:
CPU: i7-13700F
GPU: RTX-4060Ti
RAM: 16GB DDR5
She's not going to be using her VR outside of her PC and wants to take advantage of her PC's CPU an GPU so I'm not sure how essential the Quest 3 Pro would be.
Do you guys have any headset recommendations for her? Do you know if the Quest Pro 3 would be the best option? Definitely interested in your recommendations if possible :)

Finally after many years with my Vive Pro and many tiny scratches I think it's time for a change. Anyone have any advice on which lense to try? I'm not that great with computers so one that I wouldn't need to change the format in the files would be sweet.
Super nerves taking a knife to it but after my GPU upgrade I believe it's the next best upgrade I can do. Thank you!
Hello!
I am looking to use my newly built desktop and get into some VR experience, the last headset I owned was like mid 2000s oculus sdk2. Iโd like to do virtual desktop or big screen and play my games like helldivers and a few others on an iMax sized screen curved or flat in the headset and use my external surround sound speakers. Which headset writhin reason would provide the best experience these days? Index? Quest 3, vive pro? I plan to mostly be seated and wired for lower latency.
At first I thought I was going to hate Boneworks, but it's steadily grown on me. I'm beginning to appreciate the frustrating physics puzzles.
That said, I'd also like to enjoy more concentrated combat experiences from the game. I find the shooting pretty satisfying. I know there are different modes in the game as well as mods, but haven't explored much outside the campaign.
Any suggestions as far as game modes and mods? Are there community made levels designed for combat specifically?
I really love the gunplay in HL:A, and the story is great too, but sometimes I just want to shoot bad guys without having to worry about conserving ammo or looting the room afterwards! What are some great VR games that have a similar level of gun handling quality as HL:A, but with more action?
I have Quest 3 and PCVR set-up.
I was wondering how other peopleโs experiences are with the Vive Ultimate trackers are. I was debating on returning them due to some issues faced with them from time to time, or to just stick with them and hope updates improve them over time. I also wanted to upgrade my quest 2 so I wasnโt sure if I should go with an index (used that my friend is selling) or get a quest 3 and stick with the ultimates or get 3.0s.
As the title. I'm looking for new and interesting story-focused XR experiences to try.
I'm wondering what everyone's favourite titles are. Ideally available on Quest.
Thanks!
Has anyone gotten virtual desktop classic to work on oculus quest 3?
looking for walking /jogging quest 3 game that can jog /walk ,not only trail but can walk any direction
I'm going to pick up a few games for my Quest 3 that are available on both Steam and Oculus. Does anyone know if Virtual Desktop runs better with Oculus Store or Steam Store games or are they comparable. Other than crossbuy or potentially using a different headset down the road, I can't think of any other considerations other than performance.
I'm looking to pickup a PCVR fps, I've mostly just played VRC and HL Alyx but It seems a little difficult picking out either of the aforementioned games without giving them a try...
Could anyone with experience in those 3 games recommend one over the others?

So, what's been captivating you or challenging you in the VR world lately?
Is there any VR online game where the people are a bit older? I'm 44 years old and I don't really feel old, but I know what I thought when I was young, so it would be more comfortable to play with people my own age. (No experience with these games anyway, but I thought I could try.)
i bought a quest 2 last Christmas and now that its been 3 1/2 months, i find VR disappointing.
i was extremely excited for VR when and decided to get one for Christmas so i saved up and got the quest 2, many people told me that it would be a paper weight after a few months and i refused to believe them, the first month and half was me using VR daily barely touching my PC at all for non VR games.
the last 2 months ive barely used my VR because there isnt anything interesting, i cant say how here, but ive played a good 40 standalone VR games and just barely anything feels interesting, the only games i enjoyed was , pavlov, contractors, vrchat (sometimes) , FNAF, resident evil 4 VR, and half-life 1 port and alyx nothing else was interesting and just felt meh to me.-
it might be because i just dont care about story when it VR and more of jump into the action and have fun but i just wish the VR market was bigger and we had more fun games or wish we had a good MMORPG, i still hope the future of VR will grow and be huge im excited for the future but i just mostly an disappointed at the moment
I just got the Meta Quest 2 for my birthday and wanted to try it out. Now after setting everything up, I finally got to the step of connection my Headset to Steam, just for the message "2.4GHz detected - Your WiFi frequency is likely too low to handle streaming properly" After that I can only close it and do nothing furthermore. So I am locked out of playing because of my bad internet?
Been looking at upgrading my current rift s as its starting to show its age. Currently considering one of these 2 headsets as they are in my budget currently. And just wondering if the pico is worth it

Hello I recently got a Quest 3 and loving it. Iโm mainly using Steam Link, and was trying to figure out how to play games and watch Netflix at the same time. My PC has three monitors however Virtual Desktop only allows me to use one at a time, and Immersed only lets me see the monitors but not click stuff in the monitors if that makes sense. Just wondering if Iโm doing something wrong or what. Any help is much appreciated thank you!
Anyone think it would be good if you could upload a picture of friends/family members in vr games (games in general but thinking more vr.) And the game would then scan and create a life like model to have them as characters within the game? (Companions, villains, main character, etc...)
