Pretty sure the Hive will only change the temperature of your house and not play games in VR 
thought it would save you a dissapointing Amazon delivery...
The Vive though is excellent.
Lol Hive. Vive just seems amazing. It’s truly a huge game changer. Just need to swing upgrading to a 1080ti past the wife. thought it would save you a dissapointing Amazon delivery...The Vive though is excellent.
Posted in here about a year ago after having my first go on a DK2 with Assetto Corsa. Well since then I got the bug.
Out with the Xbox and in with a PC, DK2, out with G920, in with Fanatec CSL & CSP2, out with Playseat, in with Trak Racer RS6.
Completely hooked, join race department started racing etc. VR just took it to a whole new level for me, I will not play without it. I got used to the SDE on the DK2, and AC is quite old.
I love it, feel no need for an upgrade right now.
Here is about 8 minutes of the WEC AC Multi Class race at SPA with live commentary. I was in GT class against some top drives. It was a 1.5 hour race, with 20 min practice and 20 min qualifying!

Been playing with the Vive Pro Full Kit today (so SteamVR 2.0 base stations) and it really is pretty good. None of the tracking, lag or display flaws I've tripped over in the past and the resolution is at the point of not being a distraction unless you really go looking.
Needs the wireless kit though to properly take advantage. And something useful to actually do with it!
Definitely not cheap by comparison to other options but it does work well.

Hi all. I've got a Vive Pro with the wireless adapter. It's very CPU intensive. My 6600k @ 4.6GHz hits 100% utilization but is fine for Beat Saber, Superhot VR & The Lab with no reprojection. Any really CPU intensive game ruins it. Project cars is an absolute disaster, runs fine on wired though. I'm looking to upgrade to an i9 9900k.
On the GFX card front I've got GTX 1080ti SLI. Unfortunately SLI isn't utilised by most VR games at the moment, something which really needs to change. The 1x 1080ti that is running just about copes.

That's pretty poor tbh, if anything could do with using SLi it's VR. It's odd that the VR games are still behind in terms of proper development, VR has been out long enough that this shouldn't be an issue tbh.Guvernator said:

Yup it's laziness on the part of devs, or a conscious decision based on dual gfx card market share. Both Nvidia and AMD have APIs to enable it but most developers haven't bothered to use it.I read that too on Reddit there was a thread discussing the one card per eye and I think the bottom line was after all the effort of getting it to sync up you were basically left with almost the same performance as bog standard SLI which meant it was not worth it and even the slightest glitch meant it all went out of sync and looked horrible.
Interesting. That's exactly how Nvidia claim to have done it. https://developer.nvidia.com/vrworks/graphics/vrsl...
Just bought a HTC Vive. They're incredible, never been able to see 3d through glasses on films etc, but this is like being there.
I'm currently enjoying fallout vr, yeah the resolution really makes the game look terrible compared to the huge ultrawide monitor i have using regular fallout but nothing compares to being there.
A game anyone should try is Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Handgrenades. It will bring out the gun nut in anyone.
Did anyone else have the lighthouse update problem? It made me download a firmware which killed my lightboxes, thank god for google as i managed to reset it back to factory and they work again but my god, this problem hasn't been sorted in over a year.
Edit: Project cars 2 is on the wishlist and Elite Dangerous is installed ready for me to faff with the Hotas again and to learn the buttons without seeing it which im looking forward too.

I've never got Project Cars to run right. You need a beast of a machine or turn down everything to get a decent framerate.
I've moved on and have a Pimax 5k+ now which is amazingly good.
Beat Saber, Superhot VR, Gorn and Arizona Sunshine and my quick blast games.
If driving is your thing try Euro Truck simulator, surprisingly fun.
