Can I STILL use the ORIGINAL RIFT???

I have an original RIFT (not RIFT S) with the sensors.  I have not used it in over three years and just purchased a new computer..  It is worth setting this up or should I just get a Quest??   I am fine with the cable and don't need wireless

The CV1 Rift is still very usable.

I've got every Oculus headset and the original Rift is my favourite to use right now, it still runs great.

 

Although the Quest 2 does give you advantages like much higher resolution and the ability to run wireless.

Just wondering if you have some current favorite Rift CV1 games and apps? 

 

If I should try to think of the same, some of my favorite Rift CV1 games and apps are - and these are games and apps I only play using Rift CV1 (instead of the Index, even though I could use the Index):

 

Asgard's Wrath - just looks and play so much better with the CV1 - lcd has bad blacks and very blurry TAA.

Phantom: Covert Ops - really needs the CV1 oled, lcd is way too bright and destroys the game.

Medal of Honor - Rift CV1 SDE makes many lower-res textures look much more high-res - Index lets you see all shortcomings. 

Robinson The Journey - looks AWESOME with Rift CV1, but looks like garbage with lcd. The Oculus Store version no longer works, but the Steam version works with native Oculus drivers. 

Into The Radius - textures look perfect with Rift CV1 SDE, but looks like garbage with lcd showing you all faults. 

 

Actually I could make that list much longer, but let's stop here for now 🤓
