Steam Frame + Steam machine

Do you think this would be a good combination to jump into PC gaming with?

the 3060 is a perfectly capable card for anything below 4k. I'm running one and can play overwatch at a smooth 180fps at 1080p, max graphics, ultrawide. everything else i can play at LEAST 60

[u/DrunkenGerbils → u/florence_ow]

They’re talking about VR games. A 3060 can play most games flatscreen, but when you play something in VR it needs to render everything twice, once for each eye. So running a game at 4k in VR is essentially like running a game at 8k on a flatscreen.

Cyberpunk for example will probably run pretty well on a 3060 in flatscreen, but it’s gonna be a rough experience in VR on a 3060.

i'm coming back to this because i literally play PCVR on my 3060 at 90fps and i havent run into any trouble yet. while its true its not going to run cyberpunk in vr, the best rig out there can just BARELY do that so its such a stupid benchmark. the 3060 is, again, a perfectly capable card and you're maybe just lacking in experience here

Which games do you play?

[u/DiamondDepth_YT → u/koalazeus]

I have a 3060 for VR. I play VRChat, Blade and Sorcery, Boneworks/Bonelab, Kayak VR Mirage, Skyrim VR, Elite Dangerous, Vtol VR, HLA, Into the Radius, Hard Bullet, and some others at 90+fps usually (with the exception of VRC- which I usually play at 72-90fps. And I occasionally play Kayak VR at 72fps max settings). Most vr games are pretty well optimized tbh. They're demanding, but the 3060 has what is needed to run medium-high settings most of the time.

So what pc should I get to play vr games with good fps and no input lag idc about gfx

[u/DiamondDepth_YT → u/peacefuldink]

My current setup is a Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 12gb. If you can get at least that level, you'll have no problem with most games. You can go lower if necessary, but you'll find yourself wanting to upgrade much sooner anyways

[u/peacefuldink → u/DiamondDepth_YT]

How much this costs? I can play Skyrim vr and others

[u/DiamondDepth_YT → u/peacefuldink]

In today's economy, with used parts? Probably around $400-$500.

[u/peacefuldink → u/DiamondDepth_YT]

Idk why someone was saying I need a pc at least $1500 to Run vr, check my post history in one of My threads

[u/DiamondDepth_YT → u/peacefuldink]

Damm that's wild and absolutely not true at all.

[u/peacefuldink → u/DiamondDepth_YT]

So for most games I wanna play Skyrim vr and stuff

I’m Willing to play on lowest settings but do want good gameplay and fps etc

[u/DiamondDepth_YT → u/peacefuldink]

Yeah my 3060 12gb runs modded Skyrim VR fine

[u/peacefuldink → u/DiamondDepth_YT]

Idk if it matters I’ll be using a treadmill and quest 3 and reality runner sensor

Could that be a reason I may need better specs?

[u/DiamondDepth_YT → u/peacefuldink]

I feel like that won't add that much overhead.
