Vive Pro upgrade to Valve Index is it worth it?

[rossiboy001]

I placed a pre order For the Index because it felt like a good idea at the time. The email has just come in this morning. Does anyone have experience with the Pro and Index to help me decide if I should pul the trigger. Comnpared to the Vive Pro the things i would like to be better are the god rays, sweet spot, and circles you see on the lenses. I understand that the audio is a little better, the clarity with the sub pixel structure might give me an improvement, TBH though I dont really see any screen door on the Pro unless im lookiong hard for it. Another issue is it makes me tempted to get a 2080ti too But i know they are a ripoff. Currently sporting a 1080ti.

ur trading deep oled blacks and wireless for a higher refresh rate, better controls (*which u can get anyway*) and better subpixel layout so less sde with a marginal increase in FOV,

I'd personally rather have blacks and wireless. maybe get the index controllers and wait and see?

the god rays are still meant to be there on the index.

Part of me is thinking the Index is more of a competitor than an upgrade. Im dying for some new tech though, havent spent anything in ages. I could get a 2080ti to boost performance, but I have been stubbon not getting one this far, and i can resist will have a proper upgrade with a 3080ti, Maybe instead get a rift S to tide me other or a quest. time the 3080ti is out we will know what the next Vive is and other possible headset upgrades. I keep hearing about Samsung coming to the market.

With regards to the FOV what I want is more Horizontal for Sim racing. The extra I beleive with the quest mainly is wasted on vertical, meaning im just going to get more sky than wing mirrors.

Still have not pulled the trigger. Tempted to get a Rift S instead. Logic being the FOV is not really better horizontal width wise. Im on a 1080ti so cant really utilise the higher refresh rate till the next card. My Vive pro is crying for more power TBH but ill be dammed if i get a 2080ti and mug myself off. Spending a modest £400 gets me both worlds of Vive and Oculus releases. I know the 1080ti is enough for a good experience onm the Rift S until the 3080ti is out. By then other headsets will likely be in the market or maybe my Vive Pro will really be able to stretch its legs with a guess of at least 50% more power from a 1080ti.
