I picked the rift because Im convinced that VR headsets will be upgraded next year with feet controller

i paid 400 dollars for the vive pro m8

controllers*

Put a 2080 aero in, SSD and a SSHD, some ram chips tomorrow and some new RGB fans ❤

used vive pro

Oh yeah I'm picky about my hardware

he even did the samsung odyssey mod to it

I hate buying used

so its even better than a new model

Massive upgrade from my 970 tbh

Comes with being in IT for so long

i use a titan xp

And half the cost too

I prefered the Oculus S for not having to deal with all the fucking camera sensors

waiting for that intel 10nm

I had first gen titan (900 series) and the thing broke last week, so I Decided to upgrade now

I just went up from a 1060 3GB to a 1660 to get up to snuff for VR

wouldnt a used 1070 be smarter

Nice its the sweet spot for VR

I definitely was hugely attracted to the inside-out headtracking

a 1070 is like twice the perf compared to 160

I'm on a 2070

Im not upgrading the motherboard though, its not expensive, I just cba lul

Yeah I couldn't justify the cost to go any higher since by all accounts (and now having had it for 2 weeks) the 1660 is great for 90% of VR applications

I'll upgrade it when I get a ryzen CPU lol

God, upgrading bones is my nightmare

dont buy ryzen

intel is better for gaming at all price points

Ryzen is cheap as fuck

I thought I was SOL cuz the Rift S doesn't work with ASmedia USB 3.0 ports, and of course I have an ASmedia mainboard

My Ryzen does me good no point in upgrading

I have an i7 5th gen atm

that single core performance on ryzen is laughable

Yeah I had that issue at first I had to use my case USBs

Ended up just buying a PCI USB 3.1 card for like $30 at my local Fry's

SSee my motherboard is like first gen x99, but its still good for now 🤔

I want to get a new one eventually for the 2 m.2 slots for SSD sticks tbh

I'm lucky enough to work in a place where I'm 3rd in the pecking order for who gets the old hardware, and the two people above me are gen x'ers who don't want to work on hardware

The S is great because you can set it to camera mode and see your surroundings with the headset on

So I ended up lucking into a seriously nice former-server rig that I just had to drop new storage and a GPU into

Nice always good to get tech handmedowns
