Hi there
Just with stray thoughts on jumping on the VR bandwagon.
Any VR suggestions for my hardware-sim combo?
(Yes, RTFM, but now I put my head in the wasp nest
)
Googled a bit on my GPU, on some forums it is doomed for VR while others feedback that it is well enough for especially AMS2, which is OK for me.
Sims:
Without knowing anything about this world, however knowing the weak link in my chain will probably be my GPU, my primary plan is just to make it work fairly well with modern sims like
Do I have to decide on which sim should be my primary - and then decide VR from here?
If I choose the cheaper VR, I can live with if it can just be used for AMS2 and nothing else. It's fine with me, if it's just a reliable solution with my PC setup.
However, if the suggestion is just a bit more expensive, my demands grow for number of sims it can run troublefree on.
Relevant PC specs:

Sims:
Without knowing anything about this world, however knowing the weak link in my chain will probably be my GPU, my primary plan is just to make it work fairly well with modern sims like
- In first row: AMS2 and PC2, i.e. Madness Engine, of which I've read positive response with my GPU
- Second row: AC (with CSP, SOL, etc), rF2, Dirt Rally 2.0, R3E, BeamNG, ACC (and AC2 if it's not just rumours) and maybe iRacing (if I'll have the time to rejoin).
- And then in 3rd row: my tons of classic sims (if possible at all).
- Oculus: is it correct understood if the PC GPU is the challenge I should choose a Quest 2 over a Rift S?
- HP Reverb G2: Seems powerfull, but is the extra price (~ $875 / €775) worth it, i.e. will it compensate in same way as a Quest 2 (to my understanding, but I might be wrong), but able to deliver a more powerfull performance?
- Valve Index: what are the drawbacks? I read something about timeconsuming/troublesome fine tuning, especially if you switch between sims (of which I do A LOT)
- HTC Vipe Pro 2: is just out of my scope, economically speaking, unless an irresistible offer appears.

Relevant PC specs:
- MB: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra v. 1.0
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (std. clockings, but no real heat problems overclocking with powerfull Noctua cooler)
- GFX: Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Nitro+ 8 Gb GDDR5 RAM (no real GPU overclock heating issues, just a bit speaking VRAM overclock).
- RAM: 32 (2 x 16) Gb Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 (PC3200, no plans to overclock, whatsoever)
- SSD: (3x) 2TB PCI 4.0 x4 M.2 NVME WD Black SN850
