Noise levels?

Silent as the night so far. I ran the cinebach (sp?) test before and it was pumping out 600fps in 1080 but wasn’t too noisy.

You mustn’t forget I had a 3080 gaming laptop previously (still have it for work) so that sounded like a jet taking off most of the time to stay under 95 degrees.

What monitor you using?

The new rig arrived today. I’ve not had a chance to play anything yet as I’ve been downloading stuff all day but I ran the steam VR performance test and the result was as far on the right as it could be which makes me very hopeful.

Any pics?

4K 37” ultra wide at 144hz. Not the best around but I will mainly be using VR for racing and flying. Awaiting the Quest 3 but can get 120fps on the racing a stable 60 on MSFS2020 on ultra settings which genuinely feels like you’re sat there in VR.

Nothing too fancy, the case is one of the better ones for cooking though. Has 3 of its own fans and I’ve got 3 on the water cooler.

Has it got feet? You'll get vibrations from that floor. Get a slab of carpet down.

@Blue Maverick open beta for Diablo IV on Xbox 17th-19th March.

Multiplayer as well as a big chunk of single player as well. Only caveat is that you have to pre-order the game

Ye I’m waiting mate. I’m slowly getting lots of Microsoft awards towards it, I think by June I’ll have about £30 toward the game

Nice little rubber ones mate. No vibrations and I’ve still not heard the fans. I’m running VR at 120fps on iRacing on ultra and only using 80% of it and it’s sat below 80 degrees. I’m in love with it.

Good news. Have you tried any other racing VR games?

Do you not have game pass as it's on that

Yes and there are games with better graphics but the online safety and ranking system in iRacing is well above the F1/Acc ones.

The races are generally very clean and it’s the sim that real world racing drivers use. Both Max and Alonso race the Formula Vees (side note, this season (last 3 months) I have managed to rank top 70 in the world in the Vees.

I’ve re-downloaded MSFS2020 but not had a chance to fly in VR yet but I’ve read and watched reviews saying it’s amazing as well. I also want to try the Hogwarts thing (not in VR but because it looks pretty).

Elite Dangerous is amazing in VR. Really immersive and if you haven't got it you can pick it up pretty cheap

My brother plays Assetto Corsa for the same reason. Very clean racing.
