Should I even try?

[IgaBiva]

My experiences with VR were mixed so far so I have not even tried VPVR. However, yesterday I had chance to test Oculus Quest 2 (non VP apps) and it worked pretty good for me. Of course, I want to test it with Virtual Pinball.

 

I have Lenovo Idea 3 Gaming laptop (Ryzen 5 5600H, 16GB RAM, GeForce RTX 3060) so my question is if this is enough for at least decent VPVR experience? VPVR would be primary reason for me to by VR gear so I need your advice if it makes sense at all.

 

Thank you in advance!

Vpx isnt as visually intense compared to most VR games, a 3060 should definitely give you decent framerate (60+ fps). Your laptop will start blowing like crazy though x)

Thanks! It seems that I will bite the bullet and buy VR set.

 

Well, laptop is already loud when I play VPX in WQHD with all effects so I guess that I will have to play with my noise cancelling headphones

If you have a decent headset like an index or the hp reverb which uses the index audio, you won't hear your laptop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be careful though. A 3060 and a laptop 3060 are not equivalent. If you already got your gear, I hope you are running fine, you may have to make some visual concessions but simpler tables should run fine.

3060 here, with an i7 8700 3.8ghz , 32gb ram and a Nvme 2TB, had a 4 cab monitor but since I went  100% VR  a few weeks ago I no longer need a cab. 

 This system is about 4 years old. I run at 72hz. I had to turn off most of the extra visual settings in VPX options.

All the extra sharping and what not. Never the less things still look fantastic I can read fine print and it plays just fine. On some of the VPW tables that have crazy VR rooms I might turn some to minimal room  just to get that extra performance on those amazing VPW tables.

 

I could never go back to a 2D after this. Plus my cab is going to be so much easier to maintain (I'll be rewiring everything starting next week).🍻
