Too bad VR isnt big enough to support two different products - one with OLED and one with LCD for different price points xD
That's why I'm thinking that Vive Pro with Knuckles may be close to an optimal solution for now - but then again you'll lack asw 2.0 and have reduced fov...
I've said it before - we need Index with Quest (or Vive Pro) displays and fully supported by Oculus software, how hard can that be? 😄 And again for some games the high res would still be a problem at least until we get the 3080 Ti...
I'm sure Valve is aware of such performance problems and that's why I like seeing GTX 1060 6GB as the recommended card for Alyx - but Valve may be able to create performance like only previously seen in Lone Echo and maybe Stormland...
Yea, hopefully games like HFA can open the eyes of consumers and more people try VR. I'm not optimistic that we'll be leaving niche category anytime soon though. Hopefully Sony still follows through on a PSVR 2 to spark some more interest from the console side. Quest adding the ability to play from PC is also a great thing.

Yup - the thumbstick clicks in all directions! 😄
Hmmm, so now it's over using dirty non-Valve controllers with the Index! o:)

I'm in Van myself...Strathcona. Thanks for the review. I was considering it for the 120Hz, and originally the off-the-ear headphones sounded cool, but then I got to thinking that I'd just hear my fridge hum, and my neighbours' noise, taking me out of that immersion. I'm in a bachelor suite, with thin walls. I usually keep a spot fan running just for white noise to drown it out. And as cool as the Knuckles are, how much does it really add to the game to be able to use each finger individually? Except for hand gestures, not much. I'll pass.

The totality of all the features of the Index are overwhelming. If you just look at the resolution alone, maybe it is not worth it, or, if you just look at the increased field of view alone, it might not be worth it, or, if you hear how amazing the sound alone is, it might not be worth it, or, if you only look at the increased frame rate of 120hz alone, it might not be worth it, or finally, if you were just getting the new controllers alone, it might not be worth it.But, all of that together is well worth it. I have mine running on a 2080ti and it runs 120hz, and that alone is game changing enough for me to justify the upgrade. My CV1 in comparison is a nausea, vomit inducing experience compared to the 120hz delivered by the Index. Combined with all the above enhancements, the Valve Index is worth every penny. The guy above seems to be factoring in the financial aspect of the value compared to the experience, and if you do that, then you really shouldn’t purchase the Valve Index.Also, the sound is truly amazing, there isn’t a headset with more immersive sound that I have tried yet.

You can check in SteamVR that all button presses register. According to Valve, thumbstick pressed down may not click, but it must register.
