    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I've always had my doubts as well. How would Ebay know that you didn't just open it, take the item out, put a brick back in, tape it back up real nice, turn the camera on, and start recording your unboxing. My biggest rule of thumb is just don't sell anything I can't risk taking a complete...

    Got my PS5 disc edition in the mail from Walmart last Friday. I actually kinda like the look of it after setting it all up. The lights really sell it. It definitely stands out next to the PS3 and Xbox 360 on the entertainment stand. The UI seems much better than the PS4. Cleaner, faster...

    I always wanted to try Skyrim VR, and actually bought it on the last Steam Sale, but have no idea which mods are essential and just get overwhelmed. Any tips on which ones someone would need to get up and running and have fun?

    Yes. I hate selling stuff on Ebay. I've probably sold about 15 items over $500 over the years. I've never actually been burned once even but I get worried each time as you always hear the horror stories. Biggest thing is I just always put insurance on the item. If they try to say it's...

    I got $550 for my regular 1080 within 5 minutes. 1080 TI's are going for 800ish, tons of them every day.

    Half-Life: Alyx

    Theres a couple problems with VR adoption. It's one of those things, that until you try it, you can't really understand it. Before I tried real VR, I just thought it was some lame nerd thing. "Look at these nerds spending $1500 on their headsets and giant backpacks for janky 1st gen tech...

    The trailers and stuff looked great to me, but the reviews were really bad so I never bothered to look into it more as there are plenty of other games for me to play. If I saw it on sale for like $20 I might check it out.

    Yeah I've been thinking a lot lately. VR is like a poor man's brain computer. You are essentually interfacing your visual sense completely with a simulation. Direct feeding the visuals and tracking into your eyes and brain. They arent there with other senses yet but maybe will be someday if...

    Playstation 5

    Keep in mind you do need PS+ to play any online multiplayer, and for cloud save backup. Otherwise if you ever need to reset your PS5 for any reason, you'll lose all your saves. They tend to give out some decent games throughout the year, so you will probably get your moneys worth if you buy...

    I just saw, it's back again at 3:20. Try again, and keep trying every 10 minutes until they are gone. If theres one in your cart, remember, leave it there and just checkout immediately at 3:20.

    Snagged a PS5 disk edition from the Walmart drop. Theres another drop at 3:10 est. My PS4 controller battery went out the other day and figure I'd rather spend the extra $60 towards a new console.

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    Enjoyed the demo enough that I went ahead and preordered it on greenmangaming. Especially once I heard launch will have DX12 and the ability to turn off running motion blur. When I purchased it, they gave me some coupons for games after the purchase, and 2 of them were for %25 off Outriders...

    I play it sitting in my PC chair, but it does rotate. L3 toggles crouching and standing. There are times it is annoying though when I bump into my armrests, and leaning around corners is hard, but I'd say it's definitely doable.

    It's already out on Quest. You have to have sidequest and sideload it but it's been out for a while. It's free as well, just need the files from the PC game to copy over. It works really well from what I understand. You actually hold the weapon and stuff. I don't know if this PS VR one is...

    I've done both the USB cable, and wireless with Virtual Desktop, and haven't touched my cable since. To answer your question, charge is 2-3 hours, and cable will keep it going up to 10 from what I've read. But wireless is amazingly good if you decide to go that route, and costs $20 for Virtual...

    I was in the same boat as you about a month ago. I saw that Quest 2 was only $299 so I decided to take the plunge. I bought it from Best Buy so if I didn't like it, I could return it. I find that I play it more than my PC now, which is pretty miraculous to get me away from gaming on my PC...

    I'm not through Alyx yet, but enjoying my way through it slowly. I have really enjoyed Asgard's Wrath so far (got it for free with my Quest 2 purchase apparently), The Walking Dead for the first 5 minutes I played so far, and had a blast in Super Hot, and Virtual Virtual Reality, although those...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    Yeah I found that out last night when I went up against some snipers. I had a strong shotty, and my heals only kick in up close so I've just been running into everything headfirst and shottying them in the face. It's a bit more stressful watching my health yoyo so much but it seems more effective.

    Quest 2 can play any game really except Playstation VR games. You can play the native Quest Store games that you install onto the headset. If you want to play PC games, you get Virtual Dekstop or use a USB 3 cable, and play anything on the Oculus PC store, or anything in the Steam store. I...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    Yeah it doesn't feel like a $60 game. I dunno, it just feels "generic". Like one of those old OG Xbox third person shooter games. The thing for me though is the grind and loot and story actually seem decent though so far. Even at $40 I think I'd pick this up no question. One thing I do...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    Fired the demo up after all the good feedback here. When I saw the first trailer years ago, I just wrote it off as some B rated game. Thoroughly enjoying it though so far. You can tell it's not a AAA polished game, but it seems pretty solid and bug free. It may not have the most modern...

    That sucks. I know if it's a Steam VR game, you should be able to go into Steam VR's settings while you're in game and crank up the resolution. In Virtual Desktop while in the game, you click the left controller menu button and then you'll see your Steam game settings and can also edit global...

    Are you guys using link or virtual desktop? Is there not in-game settings? Quest 2 should just stream what your PC is rendering right to your headset.

    Alyx is super good about motion sickness because you teleport around rather than slide around. So you are just snapping from fixed location to the next fixed location. With Steams refund policy you could probably try it out and refund it if it bothers you. Super Hot VR is pretty good too as...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Holy shit, take my money. As long as the episodes flow through to make the complete game, I can live with the fact that it's episodic. And if it's that entire compilation in the same FF7+ HD format, that will be amazing. This is the FF7 remaster I always wanted. I dont even care if it's $100...

    Yup. Its super simple, buy the app ON OCULUS QUEST STORE, and then install the PC part of the app on your pc. If you have an Nvidia GPU, use the h.264 encoder, and AMD gpu works better with the HVEC one. Make sure you connect your headset to a 5ghz wifi source, and if you have a dual band...

    It would be interesting to see these same benchmarks at 1440p and 1080p. Vram is a lot more important at 4k than lower resolutions.

    Well, Zuck did say they are working on the next model. A Quest 2 Pro version was just hinted at by the head guy at quest. I'd think at least nothing before holiday season this year. I think it will be hard for them to improve too much more though at the price range now until more technology...

    Yeah, theres never been a better time to get into PC VR, especially for $299. Thats what made me take the plunge. And you dont need to set up any lighthouses or anything so you can play it anywhere. Still sucks about the Facebook account but I made an account (didn't have Facebook before) and...
