It really only struggled with steamVR and even then it ran everything alright. If the game had graphic settings to turn down. it typically could run it. If not. ehhhhhhhh CV1 the min requirement was a 960.

Dirt 2 is fun as hell and you can get it for a decent price when it goes on sale. I usually play with a gamepad when I don't wanna dig out my wheel and fool with it. It's butt clenching excitement. It runs decently on any rig too if you can deal with sub par graphics. I like it a lot better than project cars 2...now if only Forza had VR support.

Did you people all forget what hardware ran these games before? Good lord. The 4790 non k 980 non ti rig in my living room still does just fine with 90% of the content out there.

A 980ti will run it but might be a bit rough, depending on your hmd I suppose. I have an Index and a 2080 and pretty much get 60 (running 120 hz) with med/high settings and some tweaks to nvidia control panel though my processor is kinda old. PC2 also takes a fair amount of horsepower to push this many pixels too for that matter. Should have included headset caveats though since most people still have Rift or Rift like loads which are like 60% of Index

That was my "Main rig" before I upgraded 9 times and yeah PC2 worked just fine. Yes, Not on ultra, but med/low was totally playable and smooth. Sure do wish I had a full motion rig for racing games. Totally can't play em sitting motionless, I get sick no matter what.

This seems like a weird freak out, nobody suggested that a 980 ti couldn't handle most VR content, he was responding to my post where I specifically mentioned that I wasn't sure about buying Dirt Rally 2 because I worried it might not run very well on my 980ti. And he was saying that it should be possible to get it running well/looking good.  I've specifically seen it mentioned that Dirt Rally 2 is a bit heavy to run in VR, which shouldn't be surprising considering that it came out in 2019 and its not a VR only game.

Definitely hear you on motion. I've just started my journey making a variant of an SFX100  https://opensfx.com/

Finally pulled the trigger on a VR system; it's something that's fascinated me for probably five or six years now, but being stuck at home due to quarantine and the release of Half Life: Alyx made me pull the trigger. I've been gaming on consoles for the past few years (other than the occasional WoW/Overwatch fling) so unfortunately my trusty PC (i5-3570k / GTX 760) wasn't going to be up for the task. Here's what I put together: Ryzen 5 3600 with Noctua NH-D15 Chromamax Black cooler Asus ROG Strix B450-F motherboard MSI RTX 2070 Super w/8GB GDDR6 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe 16GB DDR4-3200 (got a deal on the last in-stock PNY kit, waiting for another for 32GB total) EVGA 850 GQ PSU NZXT H510 Case As for the headset I decided to pick up a HTC Vive Cosmos Elite. My feeling so far is that it's... fine. Maybe I have an unusually large head but I have a hell of a time getting the thing to sit where I can see comfortably (I don't use glasses) without blur in the Y axis. I get the feeling the FoV is pretty narrow; if I'm looking dead ahead, and if I've spent the time to get the headset lined up *just so*, it's pretty good - but if you look past almost dead center it blurs very quickly. Moreover, despite the Alyx graphics settings being at "High" I never thought the graphics were actually that impressive - which, after re-watching the trailer, leads me to believe I've not got something set correctly. Ultimately I've been enjoying Alyx despite this (and despite the occasional glitch/display whiteout/disconnection of the left controller/loving goddamned loving prick JEFF), I just wish the headset were a bit less... poo poo? At least Beat Saber is fun as gently caress. edit: You know what? I'll give HTC this credit- When I read that you needed an adapter to plug in your own headphones, I rolled my eyes and prepared to order the adapter, because I like good sound and assumed the built-ins would suck rear end. But they don't! I mean, they're not as good as my Sennheiser cans but they're good enough that I'll leave them in place. sarcastx fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Apr 10, 2020 |

If it's any consolation this is mine, and most people who I talk to's, opinion too. Headsets can be better or worse and you can do stuff to make them more comfortable but ultimately they all feel kinda like a soft compromise. Def. worth remembering that we're still in the very early days of this tech rn and honestly its kinda wild how good this stuff is for early gen models. Looking forward to what the next wave of headsets looks like, whenever that happens properly.

Dirt rally 2 scales pretty well as you can make it look extremely realistic or almost cartoony by fooling with graphics settings. Even with crap graphics it's still very fun. I have a 2070 and an index and I can get around 90 fps with medium settings and a little upscaled resolution. What gets me fps drops is cpu heavy settings as I have an i7-7700 not over clocked.

I attempt to try out most interesting-looking new VR releases on Steam and the latest one was Ironlights. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1245950/Ironlights/ It's an arcade'y melee fighter game, seemingly focused on 1v1 multiplayer but it also has a decent singleplayer mode. I was pretty impressed by it. It's very simple but the rules are well designed and I really enjoyed a dozen or so multiplayer matches that I've played. Definitely going to keep it. I particularly enjoyed the feature where the game gives you a moment in between matches to taunt your opponent.

And the VR aspects are all fine? Or is it hacked on? I remember reading they weren't doing VR at all for the sequel so this would be good news. I liked DR1 even just dicking around with 360 controllers.

It's not wonky like the first one (first one is probably wonky cause it has to run through revive if you want it on index).

El Grillo posted:Out of interest, why? Just other HMDs not being available or...? Well; ideally I'd have gotten an Index, but they weren't available. So that left the options as a HTC device or an Oculus device, and I'll be hosed if I give a single goddamned red cent to a Facebook entity. edit: Just decided to google the term "red cent" and it turns out it's loving racist as poo poo. I'm not going to edit it out though because hey, maybe you didn't know that either, but now you do. sarcastx fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Apr 10, 2020 |

I think the racist connotation is something someone made up later. Pennies were called red cents before they were made with a native American head on them.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:It sucks that they limit Oculus TV to the Quest, there is no reason for that at all besides It's kind of puzzling to me, too. Would a port to Oculus pc would be so hard? They already have the 360º videos in their servers to stream, just need a frontend UI. Speaking of Oculus and their games and apps approach, I have to say I'm kind of disappointed with their games lineup. Several years funding a pair of dozen of games, and they mostly mediocre or even kind of suck? Wilson's Heart, Defector, Asgard Wrath, Journey of the Gods, Feral Rites, Farlands, Lies Beneath... The big exception is Lone Echo. Shadow Point was nice, too. I still have to play Stormlands. And coming back to the PC side of things, I'm trying stuff from their store with the 'Free' tag and man, there are some poo poo in there, and that's already striking to me given that the pure quantity is still much lower than Steam. Very low efforts from people who thought with almost no competition there was no need for more. It's no strange they decided to be more exclusive for the Quest. In fact there are a few apps in there that they don't even work anymore, it seems the servers are down at this point, they should retire those.

I'm impressed with the Rift S compared to the CV1. The CV1 got soaking wet from my sweaty face. Whenever I took a break and went back into VR, it was pretty much like putting a wet washcloth on my face. Somehow, the Rift S accommodates that.
