I'm with you on that. If Oculus pulls it off, I might just need to finally get around to upgrading my GPU.
You don't need a GPU for the Quest. You don't even need a PC!

It's a self contained system.

Im skeptical.. what kind of performance can this thing pull off as a stand alone VR headset at that resolution?

If its limited to certain games which are cheap to render... maybe.

EDIT: Giving it some thought, I guess the equivalence here is PC game vs mobile version...

Think of it as playing Fortnite on your phone vs your home PC.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see.

2.5k res in each eye! It's going to be a major improvement to the Rift as far as resolution. The question is the fidelity, but even if the graphics are more simple (fewer polygons) at least they will look better, smoother lines and not so pixelated as the Rift.

At first you think the wires will get in the way as you dash around the room, ducking, dodging and jumping. Then after 5 mins you are buggered and use the wires as an excuse to sit sweaty in your lazy boy and play normaly

Like that Weeee thing with the wands and tennis Christmas from 5 or 10 years ago

It's a no thanks from me. They need to be fuck off from all of our privacy and data.
I respect your opinion.

I choose not to use their other products, but the Oculus... I make an exception for that. IMO it's the one thing they do that actually benefits me as much or more than it does them. 🙂

I really need to see more detail about the product, but it looks like something I would buy.
