July 6, 20205 yr Cannot decide for P3dv5 usage: Rift, since it connects directly to the graphics card promises more effects BUT at a lower resolutions that the quest Does using a USB-C cable make the Quest better than the Rift since I can use the power behind my 10th gen CPU ? Comments? Suggestions? Edited July 6, 20205 yr by peppy197
July 6, 20205 yr Commercial Member It will still your graphic card that will generate the image, the CPU doesn't really matter, in the way that it won't work any differently in the Quest vs the Rift. And, you need a very high quality 3m/10ft long USB-C cable, like the 79$ one sold on the Oculus store. If resolution is important to you, I'd look into the Rift S, instead. Don't know about the price in your location but here in Switzerland, the price difference between the Quest and the Rift S is not much higher than the price of the cable you need to use the Quest as a Rift.

July 6, 20205 yr Author I got the Quest 64G (as I will not be buying many games) The rift is made by Lenato and not Oculus, with few firmware updates, whereas The quest is updated frequently, so I got that one, besides they did not have the rift in stock at the local store.... I also read online that you no longer need any special USB-C cable, just the one supplied. Edited July 6, 20205 yr by peppy197
July 15, 20205 yr Hi, I have Rift DK2, CV1, Quest, Go and Rift S at the moment, along with some non-Oculus VR gear. For flight sim, use the Rift S. Quest is awesome, but the USB-C cable to computer is a bit of a hack, not what the Quest was designed for. Rift S is a great headset, and is made for what you do with a flightsim - sitting down near a computer.

Except it keeps on barging in with 'Play area not detected' or 'Your controllers are out of battery' or 'Have you got clean underpants on today?' The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
