PC VR headset only recommendations?
Hey everyone,

I was wondering something recently. I sold my Rift S because I literally never used it, it did make me very nauseous when I was standing and using so I could not get along with it, which is sad because I love VR but, and it’s a big but.

I love the whole sim racing, euro truck sim VR headset stuff so I thought. Does anyone have any recommendations for the VR headset ONLY. No controllers needed at all because I won’t be standing, it will purely be for driving in VR etc and enjoying that aspect but what does everyone recommend?

I did see the big picture but £1,100 hell no you know. I am trying to find a decent quality PCVR headset for just this sitting driving etc on pc.

Thank you

I presume I can use the meta quest 3 with a cable connected to my PC for battery and faster streaming than WiFi? Like the rift s but with better visuals etc I presume?

It’s the VR games for driving and racing I am looking to do. Not the VR stand and shooting stuff.

If I steam link, would it put this in like a large display instead of actual VR rotating the head while playing euro truck for example.

You can connect the Meta quest 3 to your PC you'll have better image quality and no compression than using Steam link on Meta quest standalone. You can use the Meta quest 3 for Drive sim games while sitting down. I know someone i used to talk to before playing assetto corsa with a Logitech sim steering wheel with the Meta quest 2.

You can also use Steam link just to stream the desktop. If you just want to play a race sim game but not in VR, i think you can just Click the Controller Icon on Steam link then you'll just stream your desktop just like how the Steam Link works on a phone. If you want better image quality and do the same thing, i think you have to launch euro truck sim non VR mode. Steam VR will just show a big theater screen that you can shrink or enlarg

I do warn you though, the Meta quest PC software is not really good. You will run into bugs. I got tired of it and bought a battery pack for my Meta quest 2 just to use Steam link.

Cable quality is overrated.

Since i use Virtual Desktop (streamer), i'm never going back to using a cable.

I have it set up to 200MBps video game streaming using encoded AV1 (AMD GPU here) and i can hardly see any difference compare to using cabled. I could push it higher or use another codec, but AV1 works best for me and if i push the bitrates higher it increases the latency too much.

You do need a good wireless network setup though, i've got a WIFI 6E mesh network

Don't support META. They suck. Everyone that Kickstarted the QUEST VR set got screwed.

Maybe look at the HTC Vive? That's what I was thinking of getting eventually.
I'm a Quest 3 user, best bang for the buck system really, decent resolution and the best lenses in the game so far, I would pair it with a BoBoVR S3 head strap for the extended battery and comfort and like said a decent wi-fi 6 router is nice, you can get by on 5GHz if need be though.
A few people I’ve seen all suggested the PSVR headset because now it supports PC?

I do not need the joysticks, just the headset for basically racing. So it’s hard to see what has the best overall visual quality and refresh for the best experience you know.
