Yeah all the wmr sets (except samsung) are threwing their price down. Their aim is to increase population of users. Their now at 6% population on steamvr survey.
Oculus, vive and wmr are still spending time optimizing their software, particularly using reprojection techniques. Rift for an example, have periodically lower their minimum requirement from 2016 to today. Unfortunately they also halt support for win 8 and 7.
I personally prefer vive. after sales service is horrible.
But vive is an open system, and cannot be remotely lockdown, unlike the rift.
Wmr is now really cheap. Especialy with no gst. (Amazon will initially charge gst on purchase but later refund it)

Microsoft is known to stop wmr from running on "unsupported" hardware. Ur g4560 should have been able to run. Im not sure if there is a way to overide this.

Otherwise a rift may cost less as u can hold off changing the processor.
I would suggest rift if u dont have issue with setting up cameras and have 3-4 good usb 3.0 slots

Psvr is a gud choice considering the popularity. Its the only VR headset (with proper positional head and hand tracking) thats officially sold in malaysia. Its probably the cheapest vr set to get if u dont even have the pc rig yet for vr.
But.. The games is gonna cost users more in the long run. (PC Vr can get "alternative"downloads of the games.)
Just my opinion... I feel its not worth for now as many vr games had to reduce their graphic quality to work on psvr, thus showing signs that the ps4 is reaching is limit.
I would still pick wmr or another pc vr over psvr, Even if i had to buy a new pc rig, bcoz the rig can still be used for other stuff.

Dun take too long to decide. Now no gst if order from amazon.

No love for standalone VR such as Oculus Go and Lenovo Mirage Solo?

to play vr pc games? you can use ALVR..the free version can only play i think 10 minute.
good for games that doesnt require 6dof that much like racing/flight sim or 3rd person view and use xbox controller

Used 1060 6GB should be around 1K or below now since mining no longer profitable but at the same time your 1050ti also will drop resale price.

Rift disadvantage is only the camera need to be tethered to PC. Other than that Rift is good.

i'm using 970 on the rift..the 1060 maybe around 10% quicker than 970. If youre in budget for me ok la 1060 but otherwise wait till the new nvidia RTX come out and buy used 1070ti at least
some games like Lone Echo or even the new Oculus Home 2.0 menu is getting too slow frame rate and getting too much stutter.

Aiming to try out RTX2070 when Rift2 is out. Tired of waiting without any news.

i dont think Rift 2 will be come soon..most probably after 2020
next year might be the Santra Cruz..which is premium Oculus Go with better gpu and 6dof tracking headset/controller
by the time the Rift 2 come out with 6k or 8k resolution that 2070 might be too slow already

Then at least rift revision with virtual link and hopefully no longer require tethered camera as sensor.

Wireless vr = should be expensive with latency limitation

standalone vr like go very limited in performance but works for social vr and media

I'd drop a 2080ti, but I think I'll wait for Vive 2 or Oculus Rift 2 announcement first.

New HMD is pretty immenent with the USB Type C/VirtualLink availability in the new gpu.

the oculus santa cruz will use 4 headset tracking sensor..so there is possibility the Rift 2 will use it also



they aim the quality graphic on par with the Rift with 75hz refresh rate




bangsawan spotted
only can afford 2070..that one pun need to eat nasi kukus or even worse maggi everyday..haihh

Untungla Vive user got official wireless adapter for $299 same price as tpcast

Finally gave HTC Vive a proper run at The Pantheon One City.

The hand controllers are much heavier than Oculus Touch, can really feel fatigue after playing few rounds of Beat Saber. Good for working out the hands I guess.

Headset sponge is softer than Oculus Rift and have full coverage, this means there's no gap at the nose part, which improves immersion. Oculus Rift assumes everyone are ang moh with big nose thus the gap. However for me I prefer the gap, atleast I can still use keyboard, look at my phone, check my monitor for error message without taking off the Rift.

Vive have more than 1 cable running to the headset compared to Oculus of only 1 cable. Don't know is it due to the extra cable or purely the weight of the goggle but Vive is noticeably heavier than Oculus.

Hopefully Oculus Santa Cruz able to support virtual link connection that enable it to be both a standalone and tethered HMD. Cant wait end of Sept!

Hey! Although vive does not reveal it. There are multiple version of cv1. The latest one is lighter, and comes with a single cable. The light house has also reduced to 9 LED.
I do like the adjustable lens to eye distance.(not ipd)

I cant say the weight of the control is comfortable for all, but i found it more realistic holding ingame weapon/items with some weight.

I do dislike the god rays and default weight distribution (without the DAS) and rechargable controllers.

Btw how much are the rental charges and service?

Didn't check the rates, I went during an event where they open free to play to all visitors.

Played a few rounds of beat saber and felt like I done a wrist workout. Oddly satisfying though.

Playing beat saber in an Omni Platform feels weird though.

Wa.. Play like dat sure motion sickness la.. Whats slowing u from getting a proper VR system?

Whats ur approximate budget range and what do u havr at the moment? (And expectation)

ok does ur WMR comes with the pair of controllers?
