Is VR dead?

Hello everyone,
I mainly play Automobilista 2 (90% of my time), and I have a Gigabyte RTX 4070 Windforce + i7 8700k (currently getting 120 fps - I don't mind lowering it to 90).
I'm finally ready to dive into the world of VR!
Which headset would you recommend, please?
Thank you very much,

Thank you very much,
May i ask you if your rtx 4070 is not a little "overkill" with your i7 8700k?.
I have the same processor, and i doubt it may feed the 4070 properly
(I use à 1070 ti and will purchase à rtx 3060 soon)

Probably too overkill, but i had a GTX 1060 and graphics were really.. huh low.
So i purchased a RTX 4070 and it feels really better.
The problem is, if i have to change my i7, i'll have to change motherboard, memory, process .... :/
Do you think it won't work?

I am not enough specialist.
I just suppose that the cpu could not keep up 100% the rythm of the gpu and limit its full potential.
Of course VR is very demanding, also it may work well !

My own réseau chez are that everything above 3060 is already "too much"

So new "console" PC, certainly underpowered comparing to what you can build from the top shelf components. I can imagine the VR quality if this thing is even able to run one.
Also a surprise to me that rapper Common is into VR that much. :D
What's Leo Toltsoy is doing there though? :unsure:

I've given up speculating on what will finally be delivered. Make all the assumptions you want and I guess we will find out at the same time whether they are doing something very cool or smoking some really good weed :)
 
I'm using a Vuze XR camera: 3D 180 (which I use most) or 2D 360 VR video & photo. Great little camera, easy to use, not expensive. No longer produced unfortunately, get it second hand.
 
It's nice to see that the reported fit and finish as well as sweet spot improvements were spot on. There will be a follow up video in a couple days.

Bigscreen is supposed to have all of the first day orders shipped this week. They had a huge number of preorders that day. I'm still hoping to see mine in the next 2-3 weeks.

I've also heard from a number of people that the Bigscreen prescription inserts are the thinnest and lightest they've ever seen. Some are saying that "other" headsets with inserts would dig into their brow etc.. This includes some Aero owners.
