Bumping this and cross-posting so I don't clog up the oil my gears thread.

Hopefully they'll arrive late Dec/early Jan.

What's your machine?

I'll look at a new GPU around June/July next year I reckon.

Definitely wanting a new GPU now.. Here's a shoddy attempt at trying to capture what Assetto Corsa Competizione looks like through the lens with my iphone - excuse the occasional loss of focus and background light sneaking through. It's harder than you think trying to capture the view You should be able to get the idea of the clarity. I've dropped the settings a bit (and overclocked the GPU) from that so I can maintain at least 60-70fps - but really I want to get that stable 90fps and crank up the super sampling for the crisp visuals.

I had no idea how good it could be, all the telemetry from the in-car instrumentation is totally legible and usable and for me at least, no motion sickness!

Flying up Mountain straight at bathurst in the GT3 GTR at 240km/h admiring the sunlight dancing through the drivers window onto the suede steering wheel and driving gloves, straight into the wall at griffins bend.

Wow, that looks so pretty.

I have an RTX 2080 Super. It will have to do for the time being.

Lolz, crocos, what would we do without you?

Trying to decide to pre-order or not. Don't really like pre-ordering, but it might arrive earlier and I don't want to miss out if there are supply issues...

Dilemma solved! PBTech got them in stock, the headset has just arrived today!

First game I'm playing is Elite Dangerous. Then I want to try watch a 3D movie. Maybe Dredd.

Nice! With controllers or without controllers?

With controllers. Altho I've been using my Steam controller so far.

It's very pretty. Been playing Elite Dangerous which is very intense in some parts, but I'm still learning the controls.

It is quite sensitive, generally need to reboot and then just use the PC for the one VR app or else the Windows Mixed Reality app seems to have issues.

Also had some issues with the sound spontaneously swapping between the headset and desktop speakers mid-use. Haven't dug into that too much yet. Tried plugging the headset straight into USB-C instead of using the USB-A adapter provided, but my machine won't post with that plugged in??

What chipset is your motherboard? AMD or Intel? There are known driver issues with AMD USB-C.

Also the audio thing - there's a setting in the WMR portal to default to headset audio when the portal is running. Generally I switch that off and use ear buds, I don't have any headphones that would fit with the headset on.
