This makes me miss Alyx so much more. What a bop.

What's with the nVidia locked out stuff? That sounds idiotic to the point of considering this a non-option.

Also, those frame times look even worse than with my RX480 and Vega64 at times; specially Beat Saber... Could it be due to the panels themselves compared to the Index? Memory capacity issues? I know that when I run out of memory the spikes and, at times, pauses are absolutely atrocious.

Either way, thanks a lot for the review!

Regards.

Hi, I have an 8kx and it runs fine in 90hz mode on amd 6000 cards.
It also makes a HUGE difference to the smoothness of gameplay. Don't think anyone should be reviewing this headset without the hardware to run it at full potential.

I agree! 8kx has been excellent headset for me . It's a beast!

I recently snagged a 3080TI from microcenter, upgrading from a 1080FE. I've tried both my Index and the G2 again with the new GPU, I'm probably going to stick with the Index to get away from the WMR+SteamVR4WMR+flight sim crash-hell and the gen1 FOV. This headset sure sounds nice but I'm not sure if it can run as well as my current HMDs in DCS, IL2, MSFS, XP11, etc. I'm probably not going to upgrade the base rig for 2-3 generations.

That's good to know. Thanks for reploying.

And yeah; I take higher refresh rate over resolution any time of day. Specially for VR (after a certain threshold). The Index is my bare minimum after trying most of them at the time. Not that I'd ever get an Occulus though. That FB dependency scares the living hell out of me.
