A friend of mine is selling a complete HTC Vive pack... Does anyone here use it ? How good is it ? How well does it perform on Linux ? Is it compatible with all Steam VR titles ? What about eye strain ?
I own an RTX 2060, is it OK ?
(sorry if it's already been asked, I made a quick forum search to no avail !)
cheers !
There are a few titles that still have issues, I posted on protondb a result for 'The Lab' that works well but does have slow loading times and crashes when starting robot repair and creature cave. Elite Dangerous is spectacular in vr- it does crash on first launch but works second time, and Portal VR is short but fun. Google earth is great but can stutter sometimes while downloading location data.
My original hardware was an Fx8350 with an rx480 which did just about manage to take the strain, but I have recently upgraded to a ryzen 2700 and rx5700 - yes, I'm an amd fanboi :) . Which handles vr very well.
No problems with eye strain. There is an adjustment for ipd on the side of the headset. Some games like Pavlov VR and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice VR can make you feel nauseous though.
Hope this helps!

I would have thought your 2080 should manage without breaking a sweat. I am not sure if there are any nvidia specific issues but I would be surprised if there were. I'm CMDR Art Crow if you see me around.

Usually the 2080 can handle it, but I do know there is that one setting that just makes it a jitter fest.

Weirdly when I finally get the game working, it seems that no matter what quality I put it on (I just tried VR low to VR ultra) I get weird stuttering as I look around. Wonder if it's because I'm running under Gnome, or if the DE affects it somehow.

But Beat Saber works great :)
Still trying out some other stuff. I guess VR on Linux is best described as a work in progress, but you can play some games nicely already.

The big problem with nvidia is lack of async reprojection, which basically means horrible stutter. My 980Ti is borderline unusable, I had to put my index in 80 hz mode and reduce rendering res to have a fairly smooth experience in HL:A. No Man's Sky is unplayable on any settings. OFC a faster card will deal with this better, which I guess the 2060 must be.
