Unlike this thread, which really does need its own large space all for itself, the Steam Deck requires no room whatsoever. Because it's a portable system.

You don't need an amazingly powerful GPU for VR, I'm running on a GTX 1060 and it handles the video output just fine, plus asynchronous space warp on Oculus patches over any frame drops, so I would honestly expect the Deck to be able to run VR. USB-C will power a number of current headsets, but lord knows what that will drop the battery life to. The Quest 2 will be the best bet there, as it can use its own battery for power and also connect wirelessly. Doctor_Fruitbat fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Jul 19, 2021 |

Point is VR isn't a gimmick anymore, it's niche and the barrier to entry is very low, $300 bucks for a Quest 2. This sucks extra huge privacy-invading nuts, but VR is real, and my friend. Since I'd rather not Facebook I don't, and instead have the ultra-niche Valve Index which is a lovely bit of hardware I use daily to play cool VR games and hang out with other friends across the world who also have VR headsets. Likewise the Steam Deck is facing similar pushback from people, and it's interesting to see the overlap. Someone ran in here and went "LOL VALVE TIME", their full-blown Half-Life game that was released last year to universal critical acclaim is brought up, the word 'gimmick' was used, etc etc. It would be nice if it wasn't always the same tired jokes, lukewarm takes, if there was something new to be said. Instead it's the same old man duffy luddite types that are so angry there is a new way to play games now. The Index is great and easily proves that Valve can do hardware since the Index itself is the best VR hardware you can buy. It's exceptionally nice in ways that aren't that super important on paper (the audio is ). It seems to me they can do it again with the Steam Deck and I'm looking forward to seeing how it's built, if it feels like I hope it does in my hands like the Index knuckles do. If I actually will use it in a way that I can imagine I would, namely playing really crunchy PC-only management games like Rimworld or Song of Syx on my couch. I was never ever going to buy a Switch because that doesn't cater to me, but hey this Deck might.

The Quest 2 will be the best bet there, as it can use its own battery for power and also connect wirelessly. To hook up the Index I'd need a dock of some kind for the Steam Deck, so I'd have some hosed up grouping of the Deck, a dock, and a portable battery to run it all.

It's hardly like scientific statistics but I dunno where you're getting your info anyway https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ny/manhattan/ Even at the high end current square footage is 700, unless you're going off stuff from several years ago before square footages shrank across the board The average apartment size in loving Hong Kong is about 500 feet and that's the lowest in the world as far as I know, so even at your estimate it's not half

To be on topic instead of the dumb tertiary conversation, I don't think it'll be very easy to play VR games directly off of the deck without severely turning down the super sampling, but it'd be extremely neat to see More likely I think is Valve using this as a stepping stone to push forward into standalone stuff, which people have been clamoring for for ages

Senator Drinksalot posted:Lmao if you think the deck will power a headset at anything nearing a playable framerate. Have fun puking! The Quest2's xr2 is equivalent to a ryzen 3500u, but the gpu is clocked at half speed and is most equivilent to graphics cards from a decade ago on pure numbers. Assuming docking etc is possible and connecting a headset is possible, the specs for the Steamdeck are much stronger and this would imply that the sort of basic VR games I am talking about would work fine. Eleven, for instance, requires a GTX970 and Intel i5-4590. We don't know the full specs on the Steamdeck yet, but the RDNA GPU is rumored to be "AMD 6000 series equivalent", which means the specs of this thing should easily outpace the minimum reqs for stuff like Eleven and Beat Saber. This hardware is significantly more powerful than the Quest2, so, if it's technologically possible to tether to it and run VR, I would expect it to deliver a better experience in some number of games. I'll let you know in Q1, I guess, if Mozi or someone doesn't beat me to the punch (I KNOW you have a Vive, dude, hook it up, I will buy you Eleven!!)

I dunno if people realize this, but in VR you don't actually have to walk 1:1, you have this thing called an analog stick right, and what you do is you move it forward and move virtually in the environment. It's pretty wild, I can find some youtubes if someone is still confused.

I understand why that isn't *easy* because of the amount of data flying down the pipe, but it is the very obvious drawback and the one thing I'm jealous of with my wife and her Quest. The idea of stepping past that with the Steam Deck is tantalizing but yeah it just because a backpack PC with all the poo poo I'd have to get to make it possible.

Our kitchen was 20 square feet of usable space, and we were paying the equivalent of $1900/mo in 2021 dollars the US is huge and cheap, if you get out of the desirable cities where most people want to live!!
