my brother is 8 and I made him a facebook account after I got quest 2 and gave my quest 1 to him and he has purchased games and has not been banned and its basically a console so there is a ton of kids that are 7-11
These specs are quite a bit higher than I'd say you need, a good 4 core, or ideally modern 6 core processor should be fine, with an 8+ cores being ideal for streaming Anything above a gtx 970/1060/1650's performance will do fine for VR as well, unless you're using something like the Index where you might want it to be a bit beefier to take full advantage of its higher refresh
I got an Oculus Quest 2 yesterday and it will be delivered next week which I will use for PCVR via Virtual Desktop, which is why today I'm getting a 5GHz router installed in my room, I'm so excited, I had a Rift S but I returned it because I needed the money for something else at the time, anyway, I played smooth 90-100+ fps never dipped below 80 with my i7-8700 and overclocked 1070Ti, in games such as: Half-Life: Alyx, Boneworks, Blade And Sorcery, VRChat, etc.
I really wish Linus had the backbone to not be taking a sponsored video from Facebook. Look up their recent practices with FB accounts and Oculus devices.
my brother is 8 and I made him a facebook account after I got quest 2 and gave my quest 1 to him and he has purchased games and has not been banned and its basically a console so there is a ton of kids that are 7-11
Remember the days he was talking about only doing sponsors/ads he can stand behind? If the money is right he would stand for blatant criminals tbh... He has become just a poser, nothing to look up to. What is "success" if you become like that?
It would be great to see a video on buying or building a PCVR gaming rig given all the recent releases. Especially curious about PCIe 4.0 and future proofing. Thanks!
My gaming rig is below . Runs everything I've thrown at it 16 gb ddr4 2133(lol) Gtx 1070 I7 6700 2x500gb mechanical poop 1x 256 ssd which I use to install my vr games on for quicker loading tines. This beats the minimum and reccomended specs . I think the minimum was a i5 4570 . Which isn't a bad cpu but I think would struggle today
LTT: we do not accept sponsorship that can affect our bias Also LTT: VR video sponsored by the most scummy VR company that’s just a front for data mining. Really? 😶
@@null418 i mean LTT as himself not the channel, anyway this was not a good move IMO... especially with Oculus, they spent the past month bashing them. The fact that they still sponsored their video goes to show how much they are willing to pay anyone to expand their datamining agenda.
my 2 year old PC has a 1700X but I just bought a 3900X to go in my new build. Just waiting on the snail mail to deliver it. Would have got a 5800X or higher but I can't find any
Linus, *how could you?!* With the way Facebook is behaving right now, they are breaking quite a few laws in the EU. And they're kinda a-holes about it. The way things are now, _absolutely _*_no one_* should buy any Oculus products, and you take a sponsorship from them? You're losing trust, …buddy.
4 core i5 but 23.8 gbs of ram. I can run vr relatively realistically on modest settings in most games but Half Life Alyx is essentially a benchmark on anything higher than low fidelity
I've never been this early but I will say each time I click on a video from ltt or it's subchannels I always get the destiny 2 ad and as a long time player I'm stoked each time
My current rig has four cores in the CPU my new rig will have 12 cores in the CPU. I am also currently running a 1650 GTX and my new graphics card will be a 3060. So hopefully I will see some difference, dang! Yeah that's stuttering stuff really sucks
The original rift will be my last headset from Oculus since they are making Facebook mandatory.Bummer since the controller was pretty nice. I'm also not a fan of the inside out tracking.
the inside out tracking is pretty amazing... The controllers got a bit worse from the OG rift's, but overall the quests 1-2 are amazing headsets.... If you don't mind the Facebook requirement that is.....
3:15. You basically said that the best CPU's out there in the last year are the best for either just playing and/or playing and recording. You could have just said, "The best recommendation are some of the top CPU's of 2020 and 2021."
Linus! I would absolutely love to see more VR related content from you guys! I have a hard time optimizing my VR setup. And I have noticed the framedrops too. Something like VRchat can run smoothly but only with 3-4 people in a single world. To the point I only ever base my rig off on how well it would handle VR. I would love to see the results of the new ryzen 3 CPU's testing in VRchat. Maybe together with the new 6800 XT? That's what I am going for!
I have a an older gen CPU and have no problems running VR you don't need huge upgrades to run VR. if you're buying your first pc for VR a GTX 1660 and a current-gen i5 system is plenty to give you a great VR experience IMO i5 6600 1060 6GB 32GB ram 1TB nvme ssd Vive pro with no stutters hiccups or frame drops.
yea its fine, but that's the CPU I was using before upgrading to a 3950x and I noticed a pretty big uptick in performance. (it's a bit overkill I know)
With all the talk on new hardware I would like to see some updates on how they stack up when running VR. How well does a 5000 series ryzen + 6000 radeon measure up versus another combination of the new tech?
Breaking news: Facebook gets 2 famous tech youtubers to sell out their credibility after years of pretending to be against the same company paying them.
This was a very lazy, pointless, video. Basically, "look at the recommended spec, or but a better CPU". No tests, or benchmarks, or graphs, etc? This seems more like an ad for Oculus than a proper, interesting, video.
This is pretty sad to see. Used to be able to trust Linus to be honest but I guess everyone has their price. Was wondering why I hadn't seen a video from them about the quest 2, and I guess a paycheck was the reason why
That's just straight up stupid.... Money is money, and there was no reason not to take it, as it didn't change the subject of the video whatsoever, since it doesn't concern the Quest 2- it's literally talking about topics important for the Index/PCVR, and the quest is primarily a wireless stand-alone device, oh and yeah that dead Rift S thing that's already in the trash bin at Oculus...
Please make a video explaining why isn't there an android ROM which can be flashed on any existing android phone as there is windows 10 setup which can be used to install windows on any combination of hardware
Your recommendation at the end is overkill. 4 cores is scraping the barrel for just vr, and unsuitable for vr streaming, while 6 cores is good for just vr, while scraping the barrel for vr streaming And 8 cores is good enough for everything.
If you don't care about Oculus anymore, for obvious reasons, there is a new PCVR headset coming out around May 2021. The DecaGear One has incredible specs and will supposedly cost only $450.
windows mixed reality requires AVX2.0 so a lot of older Zeon Cpus that would normally work for VR won't work with WMR. I found this out years ago when I tried to build a cheap VR system.
I've an idea. Get a motherboard (2 CPU's and 2 GPU's) specifically invented for VR headsets. Rig so that 1 cpu and 1 gpu per monitor in the VR headset (1 monitor per eye) Tie the player down to the chair so they can't remove it. Get differing cpu's and differing gpu's. Enjoy differing performance and different framerates and enjoy the crazy guy shaking in the chair.

These specs are quite a bit higher than I'd say you need, a good 4 core, or ideally modern 6 core processor should be fine, with an 8+ cores being ideal for streaming
Anything above a gtx 970/1060/1650's performance will do fine for VR as well, unless you're using something like the Index where you might want it to be a bit beefier to take full advantage of its higher refresh
Really? You've dropped so low that you'll shill for facebook now?
I got an Oculus Quest 2 yesterday and it will be delivered next week which I will use for PCVR via Virtual Desktop, which is why today I'm getting a 5GHz router installed in my room, I'm so excited, I had a Rift S but I returned it because I needed the money for something else at the time, anyway, I played smooth 90-100+ fps never dipped below 80 with my i7-8700 and overclocked 1070Ti, in games such as: Half-Life: Alyx, Boneworks, Blade And Sorcery, VRChat, etc.
"Our friends from Oculus"...
I’m thinking this was a bad sponsor choice guys.
I really wish Linus had the backbone to not be taking a sponsored video from Facebook.
Look up their recent practices with FB accounts and Oculus devices.
I know, we need people like LTT to stop Facebook. This is scary, they’re taking over the entire XR industry and sucking it into their shitty platform.
Linus arrogance > your indignation
my brother is 8 and I made him a facebook account after I got quest 2 and gave my quest 1 to him and he has purchased games and has not been banned and its basically a console so there is a ton of kids that are 7-11
Remember the days he was talking about only doing sponsors/ads he can stand behind?
If the money is right he would stand for blatant criminals tbh...
He has become just a poser, nothing to look up to.
What is "success" if you become like that?
Dear Oculus sponsors who may read the comments: You can take your facebook account and shove it. Never buying anything from you.
It would be great to see a video on buying or building a PCVR gaming rig given all the recent releases. Especially curious about PCIe 4.0 and future proofing. Thanks!
My gaming rig is below . Runs everything I've thrown at it
16 gb ddr4 2133(lol)
Gtx 1070
I7 6700
2x500gb mechanical poop
1x 256 ssd which I use to install my vr games on for quicker loading tines.
This beats the minimum and reccomended specs . I think the minimum was a i5 4570 . Which isn't a bad cpu but I think would struggle today
I thought that Linus would talk about Xeon/EPYC vs Core i/Ryzen CPU-s...
LTT: we do not accept sponsorship that can affect our bias
Also LTT: VR video sponsored by the most scummy VR company that’s just a front for data mining. Really? 😶
But this is techquickie
Still apart of LMG
@@null418 i mean LTT as himself not the channel, anyway this was not a good move IMO... especially with Oculus, they spent the past month bashing them. The fact that they still sponsored their video goes to show how much they are willing to pay anyone to expand their datamining agenda.
@@FedericoTrentonGame It also shows that despite being sponsored they will still not shy away from being negative about a company.
make a pc completly air tight and put cool air inside with a watercooling radiator, that you cool with another radiator
very dustproof
"Do You Need A Special CPU"
Me: Has a AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
my 2 year old PC has a 1700X but I just bought a 3900X to go in my new build. Just waiting on the snail mail to deliver it. Would have got a 5800X or higher but I can't find any
Never getting the Quest 2 given the Facebook account requirement.
So do you need a high end CPU?
well we could do some benchmarks and show you graphs or we could just say
"MAYBE?"
Wow so insightful
Linus, *how could you?!*
With the way Facebook is behaving right now, they are breaking quite a few laws in the EU. And they're kinda a-holes about it.
The way things are now, _absolutely _*_no one_* should buy any Oculus products, and you take a sponsorship from them?
You're losing trust,
…buddy.
4 core i5 but 23.8 gbs of ram. I can run vr relatively realistically on modest settings in most games but Half Life Alyx is essentially a benchmark on anything higher than low fidelity
I've never been this early but I will say each time I click on a video from ltt or it's subchannels I always get the destiny 2 ad and as a long time player I'm stoked each time
104 dollars for the necessary dlc with more dlc on the way as a long time destiny fan not even i can love destiny anymore
it’s not related to the video, companies sell your information and know you like it
Honestly the best part about OQ2 is despite you having lots of problems with pcvr, they all seemingly disappear by themselves if you just wait a while
Uhrg. It honestly hurts me seeing Linus taking money from Facebook.
My current rig has four cores in the CPU my new rig will have 12 cores in the CPU. I am also currently running a 1650 GTX and my new graphics card will be a 3060. So hopefully I will see some difference, dang! Yeah that's stuttering stuff really sucks
My CPU sure is special, but more like that "special" kid in your school.
The original rift will be my last headset from Oculus since they are making Facebook mandatory.Bummer since the controller was pretty nice. I'm also not a fan of the inside out tracking.
The jailbreak for the quest 2 is almost out so you can get the hardware without having to sell your soul to Facebook
the inside out tracking is pretty amazing... The controllers got a bit worse from the OG rift's, but overall the quests 1-2 are amazing headsets.... If you don't mind the Facebook requirement that is.....
3:15. You basically said that the best CPU's out there in the last year are the best for either just playing and/or playing and recording. You could have just said, "The best recommendation are some of the top CPU's of 2020 and 2021."
cool this was released after Jay's video on the topic of VR what a coincidence
It'$ the Holiday $hopping $ea$on now. Facebook know$ that.
Linus! I would absolutely love to see more VR related content from you guys!
I have a hard time optimizing my VR setup. And I have noticed the framedrops too.
Something like VRchat can run smoothly but only with 3-4 people in a single world.
To the point I only ever base my rig off on how well it would handle VR.
I would love to see the results of the new ryzen 3 CPU's testing in VRchat.
Maybe together with the new 6800 XT?
That's what I am going for!
It's more a problem of vrchat being vrchat
Occulus can go get in the bin. Actually disapointed in you for this.
Yes, and you also get a Facebook account with it!
I have a an older gen CPU and have no problems running VR you don't need huge upgrades to run VR.
if you're buying your first pc for VR a GTX 1660 and a current-gen i5 system is plenty to give you a great VR experience IMO
i5 6600
1060 6GB
32GB ram
1TB nvme ssd
Vive pro with no stutters hiccups or frame drops.
I'm pretty sure my Windows 7 needs to be upgraded.
yes princess
nah 6 core is fine i’m using a 3600 and it’s perfect
yea its fine, but that's the CPU I was using before upgrading to a 3950x and I noticed a pretty big uptick in performance. (it's a bit overkill I know)
@@scottsesterhenn5460 agreed. I had an 8600k @5.045Ghz and just going to a 9700k 5.1Ghz stock improved my frame timing significantly.
I'm with you with the 3600. My 3600x at 4.5ghz has a lot of boredom playing in VR.
it's fine when ur not recording
@@moncimoov I’m recording my games with OBS and it‘s just fine
I'd like to see them do both a minimum build vr PC, and a recommended build vr PC and compare them to each other, and something modern
Kind of did one already czcams.com/video/UTwgInKmEHI/video.html
With all the talk on new hardware I would like to see some updates on how they stack up when running VR. How well does a 5000 series ryzen + 6000 radeon measure up versus another combination of the new tech?
We need more Anthony for techquickie
This vid answered nothing
I'd love to see this frametime revisited with different pcie generations
For future episode: how much VRAM do you need in 2020 or 2021?
Yeah shilling for Facebook, that’s a paddlin
>Being sponsored by FaceBook now
Also, I run VR on a rig that has an FX-670K, which is essentially an FM2 A10-6700, but unlocked, with no iGPU
Why does Linus in this video feel..... Unnatural. Idk just me?
you can hear pain in linus's voice when he says the quest 2 doesn't need a pc lol
Breaking news: Facebook gets 2 famous tech youtubers to sell out their credibility after years of pretending to be against the same company paying them.
This was a very lazy, pointless, video. Basically, "look at the recommended spec, or but a better CPU".
No tests, or benchmarks, or graphs, etc?
This seems more like an ad for Oculus than a proper, interesting, video.
It is techquickie, not ltt, this channel has always been so
It's a quickie. It gives baseline and direction for knowledge gathering.
Also, more detailed videos were mentioned.
If u listen carefully, there might be some information about VR gaming, also how it's special next to basic gaming.
Not a fan of an Oculus Sponsorship to be honest. They pulled a lot of shit since Facebook bought them
Um - That top Amazon link for Threadripper is actually for a 48" OLED TV for some reason - Might wanna fix that ;)
This is pretty sad to see.
Used to be able to trust Linus to be honest but I guess everyone has their price.
Was wondering why I hadn't seen a video from them about the quest 2, and I guess a paycheck was the reason why
First before all of y'all.
Nice
i still can see only one view
You're right.
I love Linus's dance to the segway
I've got a Ryzen 5 2600 and I'm playing my VR games just fine.
Sponsored by Facebook?
Dislike 👎
That's just straight up stupid.... Money is money, and there was no reason not to take it, as it didn't change the subject of the video whatsoever, since it doesn't concern the Quest 2- it's literally talking about topics important for the Index/PCVR, and the quest is primarily a wireless stand-alone device, oh and yeah that dead Rift S thing that's already in the trash bin at Oculus...
Seventh viewer 😂
same... ermhh
450th
Please make a video explaining why isn't there an android ROM which can be flashed on any existing android phone as there is windows 10 setup which can be used to install windows on any combination of hardware
Linus' voice has a higher frequency than an liquid nitrogen overclocked ryzen cpu
Bought a HP reverb G2 to replace my Oculus rift. And you need the fastest single core CPU you can get for racing sims.
Your recommendation at the end is overkill.
4 cores is scraping the barrel for just vr, and unsuitable for vr streaming, while 6 cores is good for just vr, while scraping the barrel for vr streaming
And 8 cores is good enough for everything.
Hey Linus, can we get updates for GPU for VR as well?
If you don't care about Oculus anymore, for obvious reasons, there is a new PCVR headset coming out around May 2021. The DecaGear One has incredible specs and will supposedly cost only $450.
“Oculus recommend atleast a 4590”
Me with a 4690: signature look of superiority
"It's very compelling"
"It's very compelling"
"It's very compelling"
Can we get an update build for 2024?
Dammit Linus! Where's the Quest 2 review?! Black Friday approaching man! Cmon!!
windows mixed reality requires AVX2.0 so a lot of older Zeon Cpus that would normally work for VR won't work with WMR. I found this out years ago when I tried to build a cheap VR system.
linus: sponsored by oculus from facebook
me: close tab
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Nope.
Sponsored by VR that forces you to login on facebook for no reason
no reason... it's called surveillance capitalism... these things have cameras that can see into your house and see how you live.
In a game like VRChat, you need a great CPU and GPU
I've an idea.
Get a motherboard (2 CPU's and 2 GPU's) specifically invented for VR headsets.
Rig so that 1 cpu and 1 gpu per monitor in the VR headset (1 monitor per eye)
Tie the player down to the chair so they can't remove it.
Get differing cpu's and differing gpu's.
Enjoy differing performance and different framerates and enjoy the crazy guy shaking in the chair.
Bro what🤣💀
Some apps will be more demanding on your CPU, some on your GPU. Most of the time it will be the GPU, but it's good to have a good CPU and GPU
linus's segue is butter as always
