Worth upgrading? Quest 2 to quest 3 or Pimax Crystal for Elite Dangerous

[[GSV]Lemming]

So, I currently have a 10th gen i7, 3060Ti based pc that I game on. Currently on BG3, World of warships and then dip into other first person shooters and the PC does all I need it to do well on a big TV screen. No problem there.

My other vice is Elite dangerous on the screen, or in VR, on a Quest 2 and I absolutely love it in VR. Even mining is a joy, its just the whole immersion factor. My son recently bought a new alienware 4090 based machine and i am getting itchy palms too.

Has anyone upgraded from Quest 2 to 3, or Pimaz Crystal and plays Elite, was it a big change for you? I would love the text to be sharper ingame, its a little fuzzy. If I do upgrade the headset for this I assume I will need to go to a 4080 or better based PC to power it. I am only interested in PCVR, not bothered by standalone

Spending the money is not the issue, its whether its going to be worth it for the change in visual quality, will it be a striking change going to quest 3 or crystal displays? I woudl love to hear form people who have done it, especially if you are Elite dangerous players.

Thanks for the replies all. Looks like I am still waiting for that next 'game changer' headset.

Starting to lean towards a Q3 as an interim purchase and see how it runs on current PC as a stop gap, and wait for the next headset. I really fancy the Crystal base don resolution and positive points from reviews, but it does seem to have issues that spoil it. As always, I just want something for lots of pennies I can plug in, set to max and it just works perfectly without faffing about!
