    Valve Index display quality?

    I'm going to have to do some research on hand span and size concerning the knuckle controllers; not everyone seems to find the placement a problem, but for others it's a big "nope". Trying to imagine myself holding a knuckle controller, I do wonder if I'd be stretching my own thumb or not past...

    Valve Index display quality?

    Is exactly what I'm looking for as a granular counter-point to be honest. Weight and warmth aren't really things that concern me, but a couple reviews did mention "god rays" (presumably the glare you mentioned), which is kind of puzzling given the Rift S is a £400 set (and a complete boxed...

    Varjo VR2 pro

    OLED and AMOLED panels layered together in a single headset plus eye tracking and true hands-free control sounds absolutely delicious. But those recommended hardware specs, good grief those recommendations. Between the heat generated by both that headset (no wonder it has built-in airflow) and...

    Valve Index display quality?

    Oh absolutely, don't mistake my disappointment for whining: all of the people that I'd spoken to were interested in personally finding out themselves if the Index is worth the scratch too. But if the Vives deliver what the business needs then they're unlikely to jump to test the latest hardware...

    Valve Index display quality?

    Can't find any word to the affect, but fingers are crossed the link cable for Quest also lets users go over the 72hz cap on the base device, and that Facebook are just withholding that potential data point in order to keep selling Oculus S kits for as long as they can. It's pretty much the only...

    Valve Index display quality?

    Wouldn't worry about it too much to be honest; I'm getting a good idea of the Index's value, and that much travel distance is more hassle than it'd be worth at this point. But it does give me an intriguing idea that I didn't think of before. I mean I could ask around some of the VR arcades in...

    Valve Index display quality?

    Northwich area, so at least a solid couple hours drive on the M6. I don't personally own or require a car in my current life circumstances, though have a friend who does, and has massive eyes for Beatsaber right now. Might be a bit mean for them though as they can't afford to get into VR right now:p

    Valve Index display quality?

    Linus's thoughts align with most others on the Index, and his cold opinion of the HTC Pro is galvanised by the fact that yes, the Pro is a pointless upgrade if you already own an original HTC Vive: the improvement to resolution is great, but it's too iterative for the nearly doubled price. The...

    Valve Index display quality?

    I have seen Pimax mentioned in quite a few video reviews now, though getting hold of the 8k model in the UK appears to be bit of a 'mare, as well as being even more expensive than the Index. If anything goes wrong with one, feels like I'd be up the proverbial creek. It's a tough call where...

    Valve Index display quality?

    Had an Oculus CV1, sold it on quite a long time ago now, and regret doing so, so considering saving up for a new set, but found that the CV1 is survived by the S and Quest, which both have their own pluses and drawbacks. Importance placed on having "true" black contrast is subjective, but am I...

    Cherry and Razer switches???

    Sounds about eight for Cherries I guess. They must be doing something right to be enjoying such widespread attention for as long as they seem to of been around. I have a weird love/hate with RGB as a design focus, so the polish on the blackwidow v2's colour patterns and general build really...

    Cherry and Razer switches???

    My current membrane keyboard is getting progressively more temperamental on the A-L key row on start-up, I was wondering whether to upgrade to mechanical and see what makes 50-year old technology so expensive today. I'm a bit leery about spending £8 on what would basically amount to an...

    Adobe Premiere pro CC freeze issues

    Been trying to debug some issues that a friend is experiencing with Premiere pro CC on a laptop, but the obvious fixes do not appear to be working for them. Basically the program (often) freezes and refuses to respond when they try to open up a movie project. They've tried full uninstall...

    ROG Swift PG279Q Display port woes

    I do hope it isn't the port itself, even on hdmi the PG279Q is a gorgeous monitor, and I'd rather not bother with returns on a currently out-of-stock monitor. Partly due to one half of the styrofoam got thrown out by accident, while the other half cradles my old Syncmaster BX 2235 in the Swift's...

    ROG Swift PG279Q Display port woes

    Recently came into the light with this wonderful display, but been having seemingly random issues with Display port. Not entirely unconvinced it's an issue with Nvidia and the Geforce 1080, but I'd like to see if other people have the same issue with that card. Resigned myself to using the...

    Essence STX audio balance and hum

    Aaaaaah yes that sounds good. A splitter that turns 1 female into 2 male connectors would fill the L and R sockets, while leaving the aux to fill the SPDIF. Assuming I've got that the right way round... Simple yes thank you:D edit: At first I confused myself, but then I remembered the card...

    Essence STX audio balance and hum

    You may have to excuse the noobishness, I change sound cards once every complete orbit of Pluto around the sun. Got a new rig very recently, and threw the Asus Xonar essence STX into the mix. Trying to get my audio to work properly however is turning out quite difficult: my speaker system is...

    144hz and a titan?

    A Radeon R7 290x. It's been a fabulous warhorse, all things considered at time of purchase. It's very comfortable on medium graphics in most instances today, and tolerates a decent amount of HD modding for Skyrim. But it's unlikely to pull over 60fps max settings in much from the last three...

    144hz and a titan?

    I will admit I looked toward the 980ti a few times, for reasons of it being a relatively good compromise for the relative cost saving. It's very hard to argue the couple extra frames of the Titan over the 980ti, considering one card bats for about £500-530, and the other £800-1000. "If I...

    144hz and a titan?

    I've been on the fence for a while now about splashing on a 144hz monitor, and I presume it would take a tremendous amount of graphical force to (consistently) drive that kind of refresh. How far would a single Nvidia Titan X carry me in regards to today's games? And a side-question...
