[stark helm]

[stark helm]

You can buy those cheap headsets on Amazon that you put your phone into

[mossy furnace]

no

[mossy furnace]

not talking abt these here

i mean i see i have pico but geetting one where i live is close to impossible

[stark helm]

Then quest 2

[mossy furnace]

quest 2 it is

[compact zinc]

GG @mossy furnace, you just advanced to level 8!

[stark helm]

you can also wait for the quest 3

october - december

[mossy furnace]

no

im actualy knowing what im doing

[mossy furnace]

nah

[mossy furnace]

tho my bday is in october but im gonna get a razer blade 16`

[stark helm]

Dont get laptop

[mossy furnace]

check specs

[stark helm]

It costs more than a pc with a 4090

Its a ripoff bro

Just get a pc

[mossy furnace]

so i should upgrade my existing one which is totaly fine?

gpu: NVIDIA gtx 1650 super
cpu: Intel i5 10500
ram: 16 GB
mobo:GIGABYTE H410M H

[stark helm]

U already have a pc?

[mossy furnace]

here

[stark helm]

Still

[mossy furnace]

check it out

[stark helm]

Get a new pc

[mossy furnace]

im not even paying for the computer tho

i just want it cuz im moving and space is getting tighter

[stark helm]

Wtv

But get quest 2

[mossy furnace]

ok

can the quest 2 use valve knuckles

[mossy furnace]

what does that mean?

[stark helm]

Whatever

[stark helm]

Yeah

[mossy furnace]

how?

[stark helm]

If u are playing thru pcvr

Steam pcvr

[mossy furnace]

im not gonna detach it from my computer unless im traveling

[stark helm]

Ok then

[mossy furnace]

does it need lighthouses?

cuz getting just the knuckles is a hustle where i live

[mossy furnace]

ok

[stark helm]

No

[mossy furnace]

so only knuckles

[mossy furnace]

which ill have to drop some real cash where i live just to get the knuckles

and this is why :/

[stark helm]

Just upgrade your gpu

[mossy furnace]

no need

[stark helm]

Laptops are not only more expensive, but worse in performance, as mobile GPU’s may be named the same, the performance is worse

And you can’t upgrade them, costing more money long term

[mossy furnace]

i could drop cash on rtx 2070

but it will cost me more

[stark helm]

No it won’t

If you buy a laptop you’re paying more to get less

[mossy furnace]

ik

but like i said im not paying for it my parents do

[stark helm]

Then they’re wasting money

[mossy furnace]

i could drop cash on an rtx

[stark helm]

With that $4.3k that laptop cost, you could just buy a 4060 for less

And it’ll perform way better

You’ll have more RAM too

There’s no cons to buying a new gpu in this case

[mossy furnace]

but steam said im vr ready too

[stark helm]

A 1650 super will get you like 15fps in vr

The steam vr test was made like a decade ago

[mossy furnace]

the con is that im having to waste money

[stark helm]

So unless you’re only playing vr games made 10+ years ago, then you can’t play vr smoothly

[mossy furnace]

how was it made a decade ago?

[stark helm]

Laptop GPU’s perform worse than their GPU card counterpart

Despite having the same name

[stark helm]

Because that’s when steam made it?

Almost a decade ago

7 years ago

Close enough

[mossy furnace]

dr google said it can run most games on normal graphics pretty good

[stark helm]

Well I have almost 7 years of tech experience

So idk what im talking about right?

Being a tech expert for like 6.5+ years

[mossy furnace]

no im just saying dr google said so

[stark helm]

As well as giving you input from people who do play with a 1650 super

That have only bad experiences

[mossy furnace]

ok then

[stark helm]

You’re not going to reach that 120hz, not even close

You’re going to get like 30fps max

[mossy furnace]

ill upgrade to an rtx 2070

[stark helm]

That’ll do a bit better

30 series would also work well too

[mossy furnace]

30 fps and 60 fps is almost the same

i think my dads friend could get me an offer for real cheap

he is a computer tecnician idk how you write it k?

[stark helm]

No it’s not lmao

[mossy furnace]

ALMOST

[stark helm]

Not even close

It’s literally half

How about I give you a vr headset with one controller and only one of the screens work

Or I give you half a gaming pc

[mossy furnace]

but i dont really see difference

[stark helm]

The difference is smoothness

In animations

[mossy furnace]

listen

[stark helm]

Also on 30 fps if you move too fast you can see black bars on your sides as you turn

60fps, that not an issue

30fps can make some people motion sick

It can give some people headaches

In some titles you’ll have trouble with things not registering due to the lack of fps, less frames for possible input

[mossy furnace]

im not tryna play in gorilla tag graphics but im not tryna forget im having a headset on

[stark helm]

On more demanding titles, the fps will be even worse, making these issues even worse

[stark helm]

You want to do something that’s impossible

I’m telling you how to get what you want for as cheap as possible, and you’ll get an even better experience than what you would’ve had without my help, yet you’re refusing my help

If you’re going to ask for help then refuse to listen to everything people tell you, then kindly fuck off

[mossy furnace]

im not refusing it

im just less experienced

[mossy furnace]

im saying what i was told no need to be so rude

[mossy furnace]

im just saying im not refusing
