P4 was picked up today for the return to rainforest, and then later the rainforest delivered the pico 3 neo link.

ok so one lap in iracing and the pico3 via display port is a keeper for me. the colours pop like the cv1 and there is no lag with apexs or head turn or compression artifacts.

It is night and day for me, after 4 years+ of the cv1 this feel like a successor, next to order some lenses and a £9 power adapter that plugs into the DP cable to keep the battery from draining.

Sounds good. Did they fix the resolution issue now?

The resolution scaling is still not fixed

Returning mine as i can't get it to run on Assetto corsa to my liking and the battery life is not great to be honest either.
Now it's time to go through the dreaded Systemactive returns ritual.

It needs at least a 4090 (maybe even a 4090ti overclocked). PC VR with good graphics and smooth framerates are still a couple of years away. It seems headsets are too far in front of hardware at the minute. I really want to run iracing at native res but just can't get the frames. I'm not even bothering with flight sim.

ok, maybe I was wrong.....5090 perhaps?

Even a damn 4090 struggles to maintain 90fps without dropping down to medium.....and nowhere near than in flight sim.

Announcement: Team Beef ports (Half Life, Doom 3, Jedi Knight, etc) are moving to OpenXR and coming to Pico 4 to join existing Quest 2 support. OpenXR means we are in a great position to also support future standalone headsets.

Has anyone tested wireless vs USB connection methods?

Someone on reddit got USB working

What cable did you get in the end?
I am still torn between P3 or P4.

The Pico 3 comes with the displayport cable. The only thing you need to buy is the AC mains adapter for it.

This one comes recommended - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B013UKDYMC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't have it anymore, but it's my favourite headset.
