With regards quest 2. The difference in quality before and after update 23 is really significant. In update 23 they basically upped the refresh rate and removed compression of the link cable.

 

 

 

Ah, maybe I should go buy the Quest 2 again if that's the case? How does the performance compare to the Rift S now?

 I never owned a rift S.

 

I would rather have a reverb g2 and I own a quest2. We always want what we don't have.

 

For other VR activities e.g. beat saber or shooting games, honestly I think the quest2 is king, full stand alone should not  be underrated.

 

Last night however I installed Oculus Tray Tool, turned off ASW and am now pretty certain that me PC is not powerful enough to extract the maximum out of the Quest2. So my money should probably go to further PC upgrades in the first instance.

I think comparing Q3 to G2 would be more spot on. That's why some guys dupm G2 for Q3.
