is a ryzen 5 3600x good enough for vr

yes

#

just need a good gpu

smoky salmon Apr 24, 2020, 5:46 AM

@halcyon fossil like a rtx 2070 super

halcyon fossil Apr 24, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

yes

#

that would be fantastic for VR

smoky salmon Apr 24, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

uhm another question

#

b450 pro carbon or x570

#

they are the same price

halcyon fossil Apr 24, 2020, 5:47 AM

#

x570 would be the better chipset as it has PCIE 4.0, however there are some other things to take into consideration

#

x570 is better for upgrades in the future.

smoky salmon Apr 24, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

but people say it runs hotter

#

should i still get it

burnt atlas Apr 24, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

@smoky salmon techinically it does run hotter

#

it is also a better chipset

#

however, realistically the "amount of hotter" it runs, does not matter one bit

smoky salmon Apr 24, 2020, 5:57 AM

is this one good

@main lake well, do you already have periperals?

If you're worried about compatibility, pcpartpicker is pretty great for double checking your current gear with any upgrades you want

lets you make build lists and automatically checks for compatibility issues. Compares prices, as well

I assume you already checked userBenchmark?

it says that there are no m.2 drives that are compatable

molten orbit Apr 27, 2020, 1:29 AM

most popular 128 right now is the MTS800

safe cloak Apr 27, 2020, 1:30 AM

which ones?

i can only spend up to like 50 bucks

molten orbit Apr 27, 2020, 1:31 AM

looking for an m.2 for under 50 bucks doesn't find many reliable ones

safe cloak Apr 27, 2020, 1:32 AM

im not using it for windows just for a couple games to load in faster

molten orbit Apr 27, 2020, 1:33 AM

the highest one at 49$ has a 51% rating. None of the others below 50 have a higher rating than this

safe cloak Apr 27, 2020, 1:33 AM

molten orbit Apr 27, 2020, 1:33 AM

Mushkin Pilot 250GB

safe cloak Apr 27, 2020, 1:34 AM

molten orbit Apr 27, 2020, 1:34 AM

I got a cyberpower pc that was broken, off the shelf from walmart. no return refunds or warranty (even though cyberpower pc honored it anyway in full) i7-8700 (non-k), 16GB of ram, and a GTX 1060 3G for $330

#

the only reason i would EVER consider a pre-built in these times is because those system builders buy those GPU's at insane prices, and i couldn't come close (when i was plannning) to build a PC at a better price (like it used to be in the old days)

#

what was broken about the PC? bad ssd. - i got lucky (walmart even had 'techs' go in store to try and fix it [LOL])

#

overpriced retail? absolutely 🙂

cyberpower pc even sent me the replacement fan, lighting kit (just needed remote) and mousepad that was supposed to come with the PC ( hashtag not sponsored ) but i approve of their amazing AMAZING customer service

@full wing we dont allow buying/selling here, but just a tip of advice, never pay more than MSRP price for a VR headset especially if used.

#

Rift S = $400, Quest 64gb = $400, Quest 128gb = $500, Index full set = $1000, Vive (hard to find and all used anyways) $450-500 (i wouldnt get vive)

full wing Apr 28, 2020, 8:07 PM

Thank you ! My bad

halcyon fossil Apr 28, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

all good

#

which headset are you interested in getting?

full wing Apr 28, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

I wanted a vive for fullbody

#

But I heard Rift S does the same thing, I run a business online that requires full body VR tracking

halcyon fossil Apr 28, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

with the rift s for full body tracking, you need to buy the base stations + the vr headset + the 3 body trackers + straps to adhere them to your body

#

its the same with the vive, but the vive should come bundled with the base stations anyways

#

also

#

with the rift s

#

you cant use full body tracking outside of SteamVR apps

full wing Apr 28, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

Oh I did not know that rift had Fullbody tracking thank you. Yes all of my apps are through steamvr

halcyon fossil Apr 28, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

yep

#

Oculus does not support Full Body Tracking, but SteamVR allows you to do it anyways (connecting back to what i said earlier about only working with steamvr apps)

#

for thermal paste

#

the stock cooler has some thermal paste on it but this will do a much better job.

#

to get the stock paste off, i recommend using a coffee filter and some rubbing alcohol as it will do the best job in removing all of the stock paste (90% or higher isopropyl alcohol will work)

@visual bear what questions do you have about VR?

#

ive used multiple headsets and am happy to help if you need it

visual bear Apr 29, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

its not really questions perse, its more hesitation of would the VR be worth it, I like the concept and idea, but I have double vision that is not correctible so would I even benefit from it, and as far as hardware what would be the better (more user customizable?) as I like to tinker....

#

@halcyon fossil but I am considering getting into it, and not sure if I could use it with non VR designed games (like train simulator 2020)

halcyon fossil Apr 29, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

valve index would probably be the most customizable but its super expensive

i like VR, games like beat saber, half life alyx, boneworks

Hey everyone. I just joined on here, so please let me know if this is the right place for questions like mine. I just ordered the XFX RX 580 XXX Edition 8GB. I know I'll see night and day difference from the nVidia GTX 580, but what kind of numbers (FPS, etc.) can I expect in games like?
For reference, other components I'm running:
Core i5-7400 3 GHz Quad-Core
MSI H110M PRO-D Micro ATX LGA1151
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000
Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB Boot
EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750 W 80+ Gold
I'm using the rig for digital art and video editing, on top of gaming (when time allows)

@outer dagger I had an rx580 4gb and a ryzen 5 2600, and I pushed about 100 frames in most games on mid settings. Most games on mid settings, expect 80-100 frames.

You might get over a 100 with low settings

Just finished playing about an hour of HL Alyx. Amazing so far. But feeling a little motion sick. and strangely everything still sort of feels disconnected like I am in VR after taking it off. Never had that sensation before.

#

It didn't hit me at first, but I got up and walked over and sat down on the couch and was reading on my phone and had the weirdest feeling like the motion and the way I was holding my phone still felt like VR fand threw me off for a second. I have read about people having this problem before but never experienced it myself.

full wing May 5, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

pretty sure when you buy one you also get the controllers you would normally use for vr

#

you can also buy sensors for full body tracking

fleet widget May 5, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

as long as your pc is capable of VR and has 3.1 usb ports, and an open DP port (or hdmi for older headsets) you shouldn't need anything else. But if you get something like the index, you have to make sure you buy the headset, base stations, and controllers. You can buy the headset by itself but you need the other stuff to play. Rift S will come with what you need

The plain old Rift is only $300, and the Rift S is $400. Why not buy the plain old Rift?

#

@calm reef

calm reef May 6, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

the rift s is better if you have a small space and is easier to setup because it has inside out tracking, so it is only the headset and controllers. the original rift has external sensors and from i hear you need to buy a 3rd sensor for decent tracking. The visual clarity on the rift s is also better, but the audio on the original is better than the rift s

Yo I know the minimum recommended requirements for VR are either a GTX 960 or an RX 580, but any way you could run it on a lower end PC, with an example being this: i7-860 + RX 570 4gb.
What about a more powerful cpu (i7-3770ish) with an RX 470/480?

I’d like to label my PC flips as “VR ready” but idk if anything below those RX 580/gtx 970 requirements would run it well...

#

Does that make sense?

full wing May 9, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

I won't bother with VR until the resolution is better and less buggs ^^

halcyon fossil May 9, 2020, 5:37 PM

🤦‍♂️

#

lol that doesnt relate to the question

#

@gilded lion my brother has an RX570 and im curious how well it would run too. If youd like i could give it a try if he is willing to let me

#

I did run VR on a 1050ti and it sorta struggled, but the RX570 is about 30% faster than the mobile 1050ti i used, so I think VR would run okay on it.

gilded lion May 9, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

Well I don’t have a be headset or anything. Before I do VR I’d like to upgrade my monitor and graphics card, and then try VR

halcyon fossil May 10, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

rift s is $400 and the only things youre missing out on is the finger tracking which is a gimmick, and the nicer screen which doesnt matter when youre focused on the game. (i guess audio is a downgrade too)

but you gain much better software, easier tracking with the inside out cameras, easier controllers, and access to the oculus store

calm reef May 10, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

Index is technically best, oculus best value tho

glass kiln May 10, 2020, 10:12 PM

there is no "technically", i think you should be saying "on paper"

#

Well if I had $1000 to spend, I'd be picking up the Index instead?

halcyon fossil May 10, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

but in practice, finger tracking is a gimmick in its current state, you have to set up base stations around your room, their software is worse, however the screen and headphones are nice

glass kiln May 10, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

oh wow!

halcyon fossil May 10, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

in Half Life Alyx, developed by the same people who made the Index, the only thing you can do in that game that you cannot do with other headsets is crush cans.

#

which adds nothing to the game.

#

just think about the price difference is my main point.

#

is the better audio and screen worth the extra $600 including all the problems it has?

#

also index hardware is notorious for breaking

Index has better res refresh fov and tracking, both have their issues

#

It really just comes down to what you can afford

#

If you don’t have the money no need to get index, rift s is fine

halcyon fossil May 10, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

index tracking allows for accessories to be tracked too, but those accessories are expensive.

#

also base stations berak.

rift s has cameras on the headset, less likely to break since no moving parts.

@halcyon fossil ack are you going to buy the 'Jedi' controllers when they release for Rift and Quest?

halcyon fossil May 11, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

depends on cost/what they do that my controllers cant do already

#

i suspect theyre just gonna add finger tracking. i could care less.

#

finger tracking with controllers is dumb.

#

the idea of finger tracking is meant so you dont need a controller

#

also i dont do social stuff in vr yet, so no finger tracking advantage there

#

index controllers cost $280 with the selling point that they have finger tracking. if oculus puts their controllers at that price, that is going to be a no from me.

#

their separate touch controllers cost $80 a piece, so i assume the price will only go up.

#

i am interested in Oculus Del Mar though... i would like to see better screen, mostly in the refresh rate area, better audio, and better comfort. The quest's fabric strap isnt so great imo.

#

i want it to do what the quest is trying to do

#

@halcyon fossil i did do some research into it and the del mar is most likely a quest succesor and the jedi controllers seem to just be the controllers for it. the only imputs i saw seem to be the same inputs youd get on the current controller, so I dont think its going to be a big improvement in that field. just that they will work with the quest as well.

halcyon fossil May 12, 2020, 3:59 AM

calm reef May 12, 2020, 4:20 AM

Controllers will have about same layout

#

I hear rumors that like quest you can use standalone or with pc, 90hz stand-alone, 120hz with pc

#

Looks like it might have a slimmer design than quest

#

It seems it is not meant to replace the current headsets but put a higher end option out there on the oculus side of things

#

Looks interesting

yes i am very good at teaching the tricks of the magic

#

anyway, hmmm. local multiplayer. the only examples of local multiplayer i've seen required multiple pcs and headsets, but i've seen some places that use only 4 sensors for all headsets(although that is custom software i think). there are some games that is like one person goes in vr and the other goes on the pc and play together

you cant really do local multiplayer with VR outside of having 2 PCs with 2 VR headsets (Or 2 quests to play without PCs) and 2 copies of the game. If you get 2, you can play multiplayer in the same room if you wanted.

I was playing on a OC Quest and thought it was neat but was wanting to do local multiplayer, is 2 OC Quests best or can I do 2 headsets with OC Rift, or would a console be better?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:41 AM

#

All VR games that are multiplayer are online (to the best of my knowledge)

#

what exactly do you mean by local multiplayer?

#

like, two people, two headsets?

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

same location

#

I want to do VR with my son

#

2 people, same time, same game, in same room

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:44 AM

#

Two PCs and two PC VR headsets would be optimal, as anybody who wants to play can sign in to SteamVR or Oculus much easier than on a Quest, but if you are wanting to just do it with your son, and you plan on having one quest for each person and only them, then quests are fine

#

i dont like the Oculus quest that much, but it doesnt require a PC and if you plan on getting two then it will be much cheaper

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:45 AM

#

I also don't want to spend a whole bunch, and I'm pretty sure 2 OC quests would do it, but what is real different to Rift?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

The Rift S has a better screen, the software is better, you do not have to charge the headset to use it, you have access to the entirety of the SteamVR library, and with a good PC graphics are much better.

#

oh also the tracking is better and its more comfortable imo.

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:47 AM

#

so I've watched a bunch of vids about VR setups, but they don't seem to mention much on same location, I guess that's kind of going away

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:47 AM

#

the oculus quest does have hardware based IPD adjustment, so that might be a plus, however the Rift S covers most common IPDs so it should not be a problem

#

yeah

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

IPD?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

the distance between your two pupils

#

inter-pupulatory distance

#

i cant spell that word

#

oh well

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

all good, I understand what IDP is!

#

sorry, IPD, lol

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

lol

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

i bet it's pupilatory, like pupils

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

yeah

#

but anyways

#

as long as both you and your sons pupil distance are not super short or super wide, then the RIft S will not be a problem

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

I've heard an issue with rift is you have to be wired...t or f?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

everything you need for the Oculus Quest is built into the headset, for the Rift S you need a PC to power it. The PC handles the graphics, the headset gets information based on rotation of your head, where you are, etc.

#

thats why the Rift S has a cable

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

and, for 2 rift Ss, that would require 2 VR level PCs?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

yes

#

price of two Quests would be $800, price of two RIft S's would be $800 + the cost of two VR Ready PCs

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

so that about doubling the cost

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

yeah

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

someone said you might be able to use single VR PC with custom setup enabling multiple headsets, never heard of nything like that?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

i havent, but that would not be a good idea anyways. One VR headset on a PC is taxing enough

#

plus for games you couldnt do two log ins for different accounts at once

silent valve May 15, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

think of it this way, each headset is 2 screens with high refresh rates, so that's 4 screens trying to render a game at 90+FPS

#

that's a lot for a single GPU

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

rift s is actually one screen lol

silent valve May 15, 2020, 5:55 AM

Oh well then I'll go back to my NMS

#

are there any you tube videos with side by side of same game on Quest as Rift S?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

youtube videos wont show anything

#

you need to try the headsets for yourself to see the difference

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

How can I try Rift now? Am I stuck until Best Buys open again?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

ill try my best to explain some key differences
the Oculus Quest can only play games from the Oculus store that are Quest Compatible. The hardware in the headset is not very powerful as it is a mobile chip, so graphics wont be as nice as on a PC VR system. The Oculus Quest can play PCVR games with a special cable, but that defeats the purpose because you would still need a VR ready PC to play those games with the nicer graphics. The Rift S can play any VR game available (that isnt a Quest Exclusive). With the Rift S you can purchase games on Steam which is compatible with every headset should you ever decide to upgrade to a different headset that isnt Oculus.

#

Also yeah, gotta wait till best buy opens

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

So, if it was up to you and money was no object(unfortunately for me it is) you'd go with 2 Rift Ss over PS4 VR or any other setup? I also hears of one that starts with a V I think, and VR was supposed to be better, but not much content

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

PS4 VR is not good

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

HTC Vive...was that it?

#

or Valve Index?

#

have you tried those?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

and yes, I would go with two Rift Ss over two Oculus Quests, but for your situation, i think the Oculus Quest would be the best choice as it saves a lot of money and do not require cables or anything.

#

The HTC Vive requires a PC, is outdated, and overpriced. And the Valve Index costs $1000 on top fo the cost of a VR Ready PC.

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

HTC Cosmos, that is newer release

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

Costs $600 (or $700 idk), has bad tracking, and you need a VR ready pc.

#

also the controllers are kinda meh

#

of all of the VR headsets I know of, the Oculus Quest would be the best choice for you.

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

Ok, to put a penny out there for your thoughts, I always shop and shop till I can find what I feel is great deal, you gonna be on for a bit so I can switch PCs? I was just gonna see what your VR build would be, I saw someone earlier say a "best" PC build would be $800, but the GTX20** are usually priced upwards of $300

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 6:15 AM

#

a good PC VR pc would be at least $600, and even that is cutting it close. Double that for two setups, thats $1200, plus the cost of two Rift S's, that would be $2000.

#

and that $600 would be going with older generation / possibly used parts

#

plus you need monitors, keyboard, mice for both PCs, plus a place to put them, and space for each VR setup. Its not a good idea to have two people in VR right next to eachother because the headsets might get confused on which controllers are which, also you wander around in VR without even knowing it so you dont want to hit the other person.

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

aye, so background, also my epic is loading GTA5 on the other PC, is that gonna eat up my 1.5 MBps connection to prevent much other use...I.E. should I pause it?

#

back ground, my son, Gabriel(12 yo)'s friend brought over an OC quest and i was talking to his father and he said his son wanted to get the rift because he couldn't play some game, that's what's giving me concern on 2 Quests

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

oculus quest hardware is limited

#

its not very powerful compared to what a good PC can offer

#

games like Half Life Alyx for example require a PC because it simply cannot run on the Quest due to hardware limitations

silent valve May 15, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

or things like No Man's Sky VR or Subnautica VR, definitely need a PC for those

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

I could really afford 2 complete VR setups and already have enough monitors/KB and such, I would really just like to see if differnce would justify cost

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

the oculus quest can play pc vr games anyways, over a special cable, so if you decide later that you wanna play games only available on PC, then you can buy that.

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

obviously cost is relative, but how much space would be required for 2 Rift S systems?

#

I.E. could i run a couple extension cords and play in the yard, lol?

#

Deference to rain of course!

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

vr headsets dont like extension cables

#

oculus quest has no cables

#

you can play it outside if you want to

#

but dont expose the lenses to sunlight, youll burn the screen,

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Someone said you could do custom setup and create Wireless for Rift S...T or F?

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

not with the rift s

#

that would still require a PC btw, plus the theoretical adapter for that costs $300, so double that for two headsets, that adds $600 to the cost.

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

Can you tell me a little about the way you do VR?

tulip sun May 15, 2020, 6:53 AM

I wasn't trying to cause offense, but the world does change on budget and problem solving when children are added to the equation

#

I'm trying to figure what VR setup would work best for me and my son to play together, but sound like there may not be an idel setup that would work, when Iwas younger the online multiplayer didn't exist, me and my friends would be in same laction playing games on same console, now except for ZNintendo, that's kind of going away

#

Q u e s t

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

I'm thinking that might be best option, just not optimal, lol

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

multiplayer is all online now, you can still play with your son, you just have to send him a friend request through the software

#

you can be in the same room too if you want

#

although its not a good idea with VR as you dont want to accidentally hit your son, also the headset might get confused with all the controllers

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

I.E. play in 2 different rooms?

#

I have him use his own money for some stuff, but he got the EA annual pass for his XBOX and then I would have to create another account and pay again to get it on my PC

halcyon fossil May 15, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

that would be the best choice, as you do not have to worry about hitting eachother/running into eachother and the headsets will not get confused with all the controllers

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

And you said you can do PC games using the Quest?

also for $150 you could get a RX480 or an rx580 used/refurbished on Ebay which will provide much better performance than the 1050ti

3600x has a better stock cooler and very slightly faster speeds

if its like $20-30 more id go for it

anything above that meh

$40 maaaybe

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 7:52 AM

i5 8400 is about same price as regular r5 3600, AMD is better at this price point?

a little less than $20 difference for x version

on Laptop side is this one Sufficient for good VR?

#

Think the r5 3600x for 200 would be best for my $?

silent valve May 15, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

IMO, yes

#

it comes with it's own cooler, you'd have to buy one for the i5 or use that crappy stock it comes with

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

I understand, any idea why the r5 1600 was so frowned upon, especially if I was ablle to get it for $85, it seems clock speed was about the same as 3600

#

unfortunately now ity's over$150 so wouldn't be much more for the slight increase in speed

silent valve May 15, 2020, 8:23 AM

#

same clock speed doesn't mean same performance, there was a huge IPC gain on 3rd gen, and a node shrink

#

it's far more powerful, runs cooler, and is more energy efficient

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 8:23 AM

Ahh, nanometer size, less power, was Cache increased?

keen ivy May 15, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

ur name has R7 3700X, I'm guessing that's CPU you have, that ones $80 difference, would that be worth it? and I think it will work in board I ordered

#

r5-r7-r9 is that mainly cache size different if same generation? i know in Intel chipos the model #s refence generation, is that true for AMD as well? I.E. r5 1600 is 1st gen, 3600 is 3rd gen?

silent valve May 15, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

while it is nice to have, the use cases for NEEDING the Ryzen 7 3700X are pretty slim, only a few games are fully multithreaded, and it's more of a content creation kind of CPU

tulip sun May 15, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

Yes the 1600 and 3600 are first and third gen

#

R5-7-9 have a multitude of differences

R5 3600x is best bet
