Worth buying for VR only?

[Chris Clarion]

I wonder if it's worth to buy and play only in VR?

I own Index and also should mention that my rig is far from new - GTX980, i7 4771, 16gb ram, Half-Life Alyx runs flawlessly tho.

I only play NMS at VR and I love it.
You've got more power than I have but even if the last update brings some stuttering sometimes, It's still playable for me, so it shuld run well for you.

And every one playing NMS withour VR: got get a VR and try it ;)

You will need to upgrade. I have a slightly newer system that I tried VR on when beyond released and it was terrible. Would be about the same now.

For VR I would recommend a newer CPU and at least a 3070.
Currently I have a 7700k and a 1070 and its not good enough
for a decent CV1 experience.

I honestly do not think your pc will run it well. If you do not mind running at low settings at 40fps it is a GREAT VR game. It runs really good on newer hardware with DLSS in VR but I think the combo of your old hardware will be to much for it.

I played 100 hours with a 1080 and it was great at the beggining, but nowadays is a mess. Stuttering all over.

Now I'm confused really, some say it's ok and some say it's not, guess there's only one way to find out.

It used to be great, not anymore. But, yeah, get it on a sale and try it.

Is there a reason tho? Like because of updates or something? Like maybe they'll fix it later.

As others have mentioned, your experience will be far from ideal due to your system specs. If you intend on playing nms solely as a vr experience, I'd hold off and wait till you upgrade your cpu/gpu first.

Been waiting since 2019 since beyond released for any real VR optimization. Only thing that really may help is the DLSS update just a few days ago which will not apply until Samsung/Nvidia/TSMC get their ducks in a row to produce silicon in decent numbers. Perhaps Nvidia and AMD do not want to sell graphics cards lol.

side note: Nvidia 3000 chips are ONLY produced by Samsung in a custom 8nm process which evidently Samsung/Nvidia do not wish to produce enough for consumers.

AMD graphics cards are produced by TSMC.

Both have silicon plants in the works to be built in the US which MAY fix this graphics card problem but not likely until 2024.

That card isn't going to cut it for VR for NMS. It's the single most demanding VR experience by far. Even with my old rtx 2070 I had to turn stuff way down using a Rift S. Sitting pretty with a RTX 3080 now.

Yeah, it got worse with each update.

I have a 10700k and a 3070 and it runs somewhat okay in VR with medium/low settings. It really doesn't seem to be very well optimized.

I'm on a 2060S; R3600; 16 DDR4 RAM. I wouldn't recommend it even with DLSS. Performance is hardly acceptable, even on the lowest settings. Unless you sacrifice resolution, at which point I don't think VR is worth it for this game. After a while of gameplay, hopping from planet to planet, performance gets worse. I use a Quest 2 Airlink (which impacts visual quality at times) and tracking can be rough.

IDK whats up with people that have 30 series cards having a bad time. I run at my HMD's max frame rate with everything on ultra with a 3070. I suspect it is something else with their systems.

Right now im trying one last time before refunding. just bought this game to play in VR with DLSS and the performance are absolute ♥♥♥♥♥. Unnaceptble

Im not even running max settings and the game stutter like crazy and FPS is super low

Im running with a 9900KS and a 3090
