Don't you need a beast of a computer too to run vr software?

>>108614205
That's not even my issue my PC is plenty capable. It's just the amount of stupid shit i need to look for in order to get a somewhat qualitative experience is astouding. Between a router with whatever new high speed wifi between having to tweak whatever bitrate and other stupid shitty options i didn't bought it to have to do more work on it than a fucking computer ffs.

>>108614171
idk it mostly just werks if you have anything but super shit/old wifi

you got what you paid for, poorfag

>>108614233
wifi 6 is 8 years old now, try to keep up

>>108614171
Should have waited for the steam frame. Seriously the fact that no other wireless headset manufacturer considered just bundling a dongle with the device is fucking embarrassing, shit has been standard for many wireless peripherals for ages.

>>108614171
You only really need a WiFi repeater for 5Ghz WiFi
2.4 Ghz WiFi signal goes far but has shit speed.

>>108614464
At this stage i'm thinking about just purchasing a dedicated router for PCVR. I will keep my actual ISP provided router (that i only use in ethernet to begin with) which works and worked for years and just dedicate the rest on a router made for it.

Thoughts ?

It never goes away bro. Don't ever get attached to virtual experiences because one day your quest app will update and the thing you love won't work anymore. There is an anxiety that hovers over you every time you go in that it might be the last time it works. Granted Quest 3 is relatively new and supported so you have a reasonable expectation that they will eventually fix the any bugs, but there is a reason why nobody talks about Quest 1 or Quest 2 anymore, and it's not because they are obsolete, they're not, they are still amazing devices. It's because one day people with those devices tried to use them, but there was a bug and it didn't work, and they just. never. fixed. the. bug.
Meta.

>google quest 3 cable
>sponsored results for cable usb connection
not familiar with vr but wouldnt direct connection be faster

>>108614171
And then people ask: why tf do we need Steam Frame?

Imagine wearing a microwave oven on your head.

>>108614205
Not really.
The shitty WiFi signal is the bottleneck. Your GPU wouldn't render at full res in the first place.

>>108614171
return it while you still can and just wait for the frame

>>108614171
Sell it and wait for the Valve Frame. It'll make PCVR so much easier and better.
>>108614483
That should work. Get a cheap second hand router off Marketplace or eBay, WiFi 6 routers go for 20 bucks at most these days.
>>108614205
Not anymore. I used to play a lot on a Ryzen 3600 and RX6650 XT a couple years ago, everything ran and looked fine.

>>108614205
No hardware is rarely an issue with any somewhat modern computer
like OP most people's problem is the rampant software faggotry and aids that comes along with most VR headsets

>>108614774
>It'll make PCVR so much easier and better.
It's also going to demand WiFi 6.

>>108614795
it comes with its own wifi6 dongle you plug into your host pc

>>108614171
oh yeah, I upgraded my netgear to an asus... something or other for my quest 2, it's like the first generation of 5ghz, I dunno I'm not a wifi buff
and... occulus airlink is fucking garbage, and the fucking software is difficult to get rid of, but steam works great. Played all the way through alyx and a lot of fallout 4 completely wireless, just one or two hiccups

>>108614233
The wireless link looks like shit, there's significant compression artefacts. Just use the USB cable, although I've never tried it. I would just avoid facebook at this point entirely.

>>108614171
Steamlink is free and works fine. It doesn't utilize the snapdragon super resolution but optically the quest 3 is sharp enough to live without it.
Sounds like you're just having skill issues.

>>108614789
>rampant software faggotry and aids
Sadly the frame doesn't sound like it will fix this it'll just change the corporate logo on the aids software

>>108614171
>>expect a somewhat plug and play experience
This has me thinking if we even have that with basically any technology at this point
we barely have it with websites

You put up with this shit because the Quest is sold cheap because Meta wants you to use their store. Everyone saying the Frame will be easier but Valve always charges hundreds more than it should cost considering they'll make money through Steam too. Frame will not be worth 2x the price.

>>108614171
cause why educate yourself before the purchase if you can be a stupid fucking cunt and just yolo this shit, after all you THOUGHT (/sarcasm off) it should be "plug and play" so why wouldn't reality grant your wishes - amirite?

>>108614575
>Your GPU wouldn't render at full res in the first place.
Sure you can. People even downscale and downscaling still looks way better even after compression

>>108614171
I bought a couple of 15' $90 USB C cables (I was hedging my bets). Wireless isn't the real problem though, the shit-ass battery life is. Just watching a 3D movie runs the battery down faster than it can be recharged, so it also needs an expensive battery pack to go in-between the headset and charger.

If they offered a wired version I would've bought that. The battery is beyond inadequate.

>>108614171
you can just literaly used alvr and a wired connection.
or a shitty wifi.
i mean it's kind of on you if you can't afford a cable or a good wifi router.

>>108614327
No. I'm going back to my ethernet swamp.

Pretty much every vr headset has its own share of drawbacks.
Of all the "it just works" headsets Quest 3 gives you the best bang for the buck outside the "it's a children's toy" range (i.e. quest 2 quest 3s)
Theoretically psvr2 is pretty good bang for the buck but you need to factor in the cost of the proprietary pcvr adapter and it needs to be wired for power and it uses shitty fresnel lenses albeit offering decent fov and eye tracking iirc
Htc products all force you into their own software ecosystem which is just a proprietary gui overlay for steam/ovr software.
Big screen is pricy and doesn't ship as a complete solution, pimax is fucking expensive but wins in the visual department, index is obsolete and frame is nowhere to be found.

>>108614171
>>108614233
isn't the Frame supposed to fix all of these?
