Hi all

At the weekend I went round my parents house and my dad let me have a go on his new PSVR... I done abit of racing and I was actually amazed by it as I've never had a good go at VR, Now I really want a VR headset for my PC so I can do project cars and maybe some rallying... What's a decent headset to get for a noob like me... I don't have a lot of money so not looking for the latest spec ones.... I had the DK2 before but used it a couple of times before selling and I'm not sure if that supports the latest titles

Cheers

The Rift S will probably fit the bill. It's pretty good for sim racing type stuff like project cars. Plus it'll turn it's hand to other stuff too. Like beat saber etc.

I've got the Valve Index but not sure a 1000 pound headset is what you're after :)

I have read a lot about the Rift S and its highly recommended... A few people have mentioned the CV1, Is that any good as I've seen a couple of them for around £180-£200
 
So my budget would be from £200-£250 as I'm abit tight on money...

My specs are below

Ryzen 1600
Aorus B450 MATX
16gb Corsair vengence 3000mhz
550w Coolermaster Master watt

Currently I have a GTX750Ti but will be upgrading before trying VR... May look at second hand 1060 or RX570...

Cheers
 
Thanks for the reply @lokiss when I'm looking to buy do I need the whole set including handsets or could I just get the headset as I will only be using it for sitting whilst racing... With the Lenovo and HP ones do they produce decent graphics?

Second hand Rift Or Samsung Odyssey +

I wouldn't buy a Rift without the controllers, even if you are only planning to sit down. There are deals to be had out there.

You would need a better GPU, get a 1060 over a 570 for VR.

OK thanks I will go on the hunt for a 1060 6gb they can be found relatively cheap... I've not seen the Samsung VR set I'll have to have a look at that.. Cheers
 
If I'm getting a 1060 is it best to get 6gb model, I've seen plenty of 3gb models and decent prices but don't want to buy if it's not really best for what I need
