  • Is the QUEST 3 worth the Upgrade over the QUEST 2 for iRacing? In this video I will discuss the Quest 3 vs the Quest 2 for sim racing titles like iRacing or whichever racing sim you might be playing. If you already own the Quest 2, is the Quest 3 worth upgrading to? I will tell you what I think are the main differences between the two and what makes one of them my 100% recommendation without a doubt.
    Sim Equipment I Currently Use:
    - Thrustmaster T-GT II with Open Wheel Rim
    - Thrustmaster T-LCM Load Cell Pedals
    - VR Headsets: Quest 3 / PSVR2
    - Consoles: PS5
    - PC: RTX3080 / i7 10th Gen / 32GB RAM

    Thanks for this review !! It definitely helped me to make my decision to go from my q2 to a q3 and I'm very happy with it, quite better than the q2. Running on a i5 11th gen., rtx3060ti, 16gb ram (not a monster at all) It's great with iracing ! Constant 90fps, nice and clear. I just have to reduce shadows and some details in the iracing setttings, push the resolution to 1.5 (90hz), bitrate to 700 mbps in the debug tool and it's perfect.
    For Acc and f123 , my config is too weak. Impossible to play (same with the q2).

But after so many years of joy with the cv1 (wich was really expensive back then with my 1080), ill surealy go for the quest3 to experience a huge upgrade and have several years of fun ahead again.

    So, coming from Quest 2, the Q3 has horizontal FOV of 108 where Q2 has 104. Do you notice much of difference ? I'm happy with Q2 quality and not really fussy about the clarity. All I care about is that if the FOV difference is noticeable enough, thus I can get better feel of the speed.

    • @thecasualracinggamer
      @thecasualracinggamer  10 месяцев назад +1

      The FOV is noticeable as mentioned in this video where I did not see my left side mirror at all on the Quest 2 where the Quest 3 I could see a small percent. Also, things are clearer on the sides in your prifereral vision on the Q3 making things more usable as well.

    I am strongly considering get this Quest 3 just for flight stimming and gaming.
    I appreciate the honest opinion. And I will also be able to play a different variety in games with the Quest 3 on steam that I own.
    Fortunately I got a 500 bonus this year at work so I basically get it free. Woohoo😊

    First of all thanks for the video, starting to push me towards upgrading from Q2 to Q3 too but I have 1 more question I can't seem to find any answers to in any videos.
    In Quest 2 if you look into the distance, it gets pretty blurry/low res after like 50-100m, is it way more clear on Quest 3?
    I have a 4090 and I always cranked my graphics up pretty high but still looked blurry.
    Awesome video btw
    PS: I mainly played F1 23 but I also played Assetto Corsa/C and Automobilista where its a little bit better but still slightly blurry and that bugs me so hard

    • @thecasualracinggamer

      Quest 3 is definitely not blurry. The lenses are the best out there and with a 4090 you should really be able to crank up the bitrate and resolution.

    Thanks for your video. I now have the Quest 3 now and I agree with you. My Quest 3 is much better than my previous Oculus Rift S VR headset. Quality, Resolutions, and graphic visuals are so much better with the Quest 3. I have my Quest 3 connected via a link cable right now and connects to my PC via USB. The only thing I modified on my Quest 3 is my head strap which I now have the Destek QH3 head strap.
    I also have an RTX-3080TI and an I7 processor for my PC.
    I do not have/play IRacing, but I have many other SIM racing games such as Assetto Corsa, AMS2, Project Cars 2, RFactor 2, F1-23, and Assetto Corsa Competizione as my top games. I have many other racing games such as several GRID, NFS, and I also run VORPX type games.
    So far all looks and works good with my Quest 3.
    Take care.

    Hmm... I had to return the Quest 3 and I'm back to my Quest 2. I'm running a 4070 vid card and it doesn't run as smooth. Likely due to the higher res needing more PC power and the ability to do 120hz natively on Quest 2 vs. max 90hz on Quest 3. I agree that the clarity is a little better on Quest 3 but not worth $300 worth of improvement.

For default settings there is no go. It is ridiculous that Meta is shipping sand paper with underwear straps. It thought that design and R&D was already done by Meta on Q3, but apparently it is not the case here.

    I`m using the Q3 with an older spec PC.
    RTX 2070 and Ryzen 7 5700x and I'm coming from an Rift S. It feels like a big update especially the FOV and clarity is insane. It also seems to use less performance from my gpu and cpu than my rifts supersampling set-up.
    Running the headset currently with 1.0 at 3456*1840@80hz + 550mbits in the debug tool.
    I am still about overcome the discharging issues when it's a wired PCVR session - my current cable doesnt charge the headset at all which is not ideal (got a cheap one from Amazon) I'll try a splitter cable next. With that I doubt that I'll ever bring the q3 down in a single session, it is just important that the headset charges when in Standby.
    Of course I have not maxed out all graphic settings in Iracing and i have used the official guide to optimize the graphics accordingly to my PC specs.
    However I have the feeling that I still have some headspace in terms of performance, what settings would you turn up to get an better experience?

    • @thecasualracinggamer
      @thecasualracinggamer  9 месяцев назад

      Quest 3 is definitely a huge step up from the Rift S. It's hard for me to say what settings to pump up. I usually focus on things that matter to me in race and lower things that don't mean much.

    I had my quest 2 combined with the old gtx1070ti and was not using it at all. I thought it was because the GPU wasn`t powerful enough, but this week I upgraded to a 4080super, maxed out the quest2 resolution at 120Hz and still don`t like the experience (imagem quality) enough to switch from my monitor to VR on a daily basis. Do you think upgrading to quest 3 is game changing enough to solve this? Some people say the image is much clearer, but it`s hard to imagine.

    • @thecasualracinggamer
      @thecasualracinggamer  7 месяцев назад +1

      Did you up the bitrate? The Quest 2 or 3 will not equal the quality of a monitor, but from me it's all about the immersion. You are not going to get the best clarity out of the headset unless you boost the bitrate though.

    • @felipesiedschlagyopan4185

      I use the cable link, with the bit rate set to 400, if I remember correctly. I was playinh automobilista 2 on VR right now, the experience is good, but for me just as an experience, I am way faster on the monitor. Might give quest 3 a chance if I can sell the q2. @@thecasualracinggamer

      You can up the bitrate to around 920 or 940 max. Can't remember which it is. Anything over 500, you need to type it somewhere else, then use copy and CTRL/V to paste it into the debug tool.

    if you connect the quest 3 to a USB-C port on your computer the discharging problem is not really an issue. YES it will discharge...but maybe like 10% an hour. which is fine, I don't have time to game 10 hours in a row so I'll never get it fully depleted anyway. maybe people doing serious endurance races ....but that's a really niche market right there.

      Quest 3 image is sharper with clearer compared to PSVR2 and GT7 if you have the system to raise the bitrate up and resolution. On a lower end PC, the Quest 3 will not look great and suffer from a lot of compression at lower bit rates.

    If you watch any footage of a real racing driver, you will see they turn their heads to look in the mirror, they don’t just move their eyes. So in reality it’s not an issue, it’s more natural to turn your head rather than your eyes. The Reverb G2 is still the best headset for sim racing in my opinion.

    • @thecasualracinggamer
      @thecasualracinggamer  3 месяца назад

      I'm not sure how a larger FOV and better lenses is not a good thing and something you would want in any headset. If you like your G2, which I am sure is still a great headset, will PSVR2 be the better PC headset than it then? Still has a small sweet spot due to the lenses, but a wider FOV and OLED screen.

I’ve owned both Rifts. I want to own the Quest 3 soooooo bad but that’s a huge problem for us who do this competitively. I know dudes still running the Rift because of this. We so desperately want a VR with a good picture and will stay charged. Seriously why would they do this? It’s so simple to fix too. I’m literally baffled by it. If you are going to have it plugged in anyway at least make it so the battery doesn’t die. Yeah it’s great for standalone and people who play for a short periods but for the rest of us we are screwed. I have no doubt the picture quality is great but damn the battery.
