No configurations I have tried allow me to run LCS (before update and now) on my Pico Neo 3 link. The image is crushed blacks and fairly high highlights. Gamma looks great (inc. latest version) but I really want to try LCS in VR as the flat version looks superb and I was hoping to see the same improvements in VR.

Anyone running Neo 3 link over DP and have success with LCS?
 
excuse me going off-topic a bit (hope it is allowed since there is no Solar Crown thread) , but anyone like me I preordered Solar Crown, only to realize later that it has no VR support ?

I'm sure there will be ways to enjoy it in VR with modding... ,
here is already someone figured out one way :


(havent tried this myself yet ...
if you do try it , share your thoughts!
or if you find an even better way, please share)

I'm thinking about upgrading my current pc to get better performance with VR (in AC mainly)
(I know next gen NVidia and AMD cards will arrive soon, but then I'd have to also buy a whole new pc... )
my specs: Gigabyte x570, Corsair 850w Gold, 32gb ddr4 3600, Ryzen-9 5950x, Gigabyte 3070ti Vision OC 8G
oh and using Quest3 via Link cable

Max i can fit in my current case are either one of these 2 cards:
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7900 XTX GAMING OC 24G (950 EUR new at the local pc shop)
or
ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER OC 16GB (new 1250 EUR , but I can buy a second hand with still over a year of warranty, for 1000 EUR)

I'm on the fence to get the AMD or pay a little more and get the NVidia one.

The 7900 has more GDDR6 ram (24) , but the 4080 Super has GDDR6X , which is supposed to be better...

Any thoughts / suggestions (pref. from people with experience w either of these cards , w AC on Quest 3 ) to help me decide?

I have a PC with a 4080 (i7 14700K, 32gb) and it works very well for me. I don't have a Q3 but a Reverb G2 which is a bit more demanding and I have it configured at 100% supersampling resolution (around 3100 X 3100) and both CPU and GPU are relatively comfortable (60-70% load) in normal configurations (I mean, daytime races, grids of up to 40-50 cars). It maintains a constant 90 fps without motion reprojection (I think that's what it's called ASW in Quest?). I've always read, especially on the CSP Discord, that AMD GPUs are not recommended for VR, especially since they don't support many technologies that NVIDIA does have (SPS and others that I can't remember now).
 
Reminder to any Win 11 Reverb G2 users out there to consider turning off automatic updates (at the risk of losing security updates unless you manually check for them, of course) so that you remain on version 23H2 and don't get automatically updated to 24H2, which is rolling out as we speak and could (and reportedly WILL) stop your G2 from working with immediate effect, and NOT in Nov 2026 as you might previously have thought.

Seems like the official MS Win 11 downloads page is already updated to 24H2, so making an official 23H2 backup ISO now (in case you get 24H2 and it bricks your G2) might be tricky.
24H2 seems to be the only version on offer.

23H2 archives can be found on unofficial sites, but these obviously carry significant risk.

... aaaaaand mild panic just now because Windows decided to update itself, despite being told not to automatically update.
The G2 is still working though so it couldn't have been the dreaded 24H2 update.
Not gonna lie though, pants were slightly shat.
 
With an AMD Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, and 32GB of RAM, will it be possible to run Assetto Corsa smoothly in VR (quest2) with decent frame rates and settings? What kind of performance should I expect, and are there any recommended tweaks to optimize the experience?

Hi and welcome ! Yes it will run fine, but I recommend you stick to 72Hz and set the slider to max resolution (in Meta Quest Link app).
In Oculus Debug Tool be sure to set the following:

* for Visible HUD you can temporarily set this to Performance overview to see if you have any application framedrops while driving a lap or 2...
You can then play with other settings in CM (to get to where you want to be visually, and still have good performance without stutter).
Meaning you should get a steady 72 FPS in the headset with reasonable clarity.

In Assetto Corsa settings , VIDEO I would recommend you to start out w something like this :

and then change only 1 thing at a time and see how it impacts (also in CSP settings)
So do not change multiple things at once.
That way you will know what works to your favor and what not.

Good luck! :)

The Reverb G2 is a great headset (apart from the tiny sweet spot) but it can be annoying at times.
I often get this error (maybe 25% of the time) which a PC reboot solves (it's easier for me than getting to the back of the PC to unplug/replug the G2 cables, which is another fix).

I thought it was a HMD or cable issue, but I got a third G2 (first had a badly chipped lens, second was bought at risk with a fault, and HMD or cables never worked, the third seems OK) so am able to mix and match two sets of cables. Seems to be just a fairly common G2 connection issue.
The other annoyance is the G2 hijacking my audio and sending everything through the headset just because I want to use it solely for Crew Chief.
Having to keep doubletapping Win-Y when the headset sleeps also seems unnecessary.
The time it takes for WMR splash screens to load in is also slightly annoying.
In many ways the G2 is fantastic but I'm NOT going to miss all the WMR baggage when it finally dies and needs a different option.
Hopefully by then we'll have more options, but I bet every single one will have some stupid design decision that will be a daily annoyance (eg the Crystal Light's ridiculous 1m focal length).

It’s a strange thing on the 1M focus. I thought I would have had a problem with it due to having cataracts done in both eyes. I now have distance lenses fitted but also wear variafocals for driving in real life. But I don’t need to. But in VR with the Pimax Crystal I use it straight out of the box. No glasses or lenses. No problem with vision. Perhaps I’ve just been lucky

If your eyes can focus happily at 1m without glasses then you'll be fine. For me without my reading glasses, it's a little too close.
The 2m standard that most other HMDs use (G2 included) is perfect for me.
Unless you DO usually need glasses at 1m distance?
In that case, the Crystal Light might be OK for me after all.
Wish there was one local that I could test.
