For anyone still wondering...I have a ryzen 5 2600, 16gb ram and a 3060 12gb rtx and a Reverb G2. I can run MSFS at 115% open XR resolution (much more than full res) and have the Sim settings between medium to high. It is butter smooth and I'm so glad I took the risk. It is way beyond worth it and blows oculus quest 2 away with the clarity and smoothness of the Sim. I'm incredibly stoked. The new s10 and NVIDIA updates are a real game changer with DLSS set to balanced I'm getting mostly solid 30fps and 25fps in huge cities. What a time to be alive!
@@thread_astaire What is your CPU? VR Bottlenecks bad CPUs. I am getting a 3060 and had a 1600 super that ran great.
@@thread_astaire I wanna know what your headset is. Also from my knowledge, most VR headsets don't allow 120 FPS. Oculus Quest 1 for example, is limited to 72 whereas the RIFT S is limited to 80.
I hated..HATED the reverb G2..sold it and kept my Quest 2..glad I did, especially with the recent 120Hz refresh update 🤷♂️
@@thread_astaire use a cable..
Hi,
Could you advise me? I have almost the same cpu, the ryzen 5 2600x with an rx 580gb 8gb, I was planning to invest in a 3060 12gb because the rx sucks, but I'm afraid that the cpu is also too picky, I wanted to know if I should also change my cpu or is it ok?
I use 1050 ti to stream HL Alyx to my Quest 2. OF COURSE 3060 IS GOOD ENOUGH!
How does it run? Smooth?
@@jessica49arrow almost. You shouldn't expect much, but you will be able to play Alyx with joy. I mean - there are no gamebreaking freezes or bugs
@@ernest.piatrovich oh thanks and also can u play that game while sitting or do u need to stand
@@jessica49arrow There are a lot of moments when you need to take cover or crouch, so I believe standing is the way it was intended
I've got a ryzen 7 5800x and a rtx 3060. What refresh rate and resolution do you have set in the oclulus pc app? I can't seem to get consistent gameplay at all
I am not using the Oculus App. I use the WMR for SteamVR, since I am using the Reverb G2. I am not that familiar with the Quest 2 (which is what i assume your are using) so I can't really give any specific tips. In order to get a game to run smoother I just played around with the graphical settings or dropped the resolution scale to about 60% to 80% and this worked for the most part. But there were still games that ran pretty bad after all of that (mostly the non native VR games), like I mentioned in the video.
Hi, thanks a lot for the video, but i REALLY need to know the name of the music/track you used at @3:20
That was what I was searchin for... greetings outta Germany, ordering the HP g2 now 🤗
Na dann viel Spaß mit dem Teil! ;D
In theory it should be more powerful than a quest 2 playing standalone games.
For a quest 2, should i get the 3060 12gb or the 6650xt? does anyone know if 6650xt outperformes the 3060 in pcvr with QUEST 2 via link cable? Because in Benchmarks it looks much stronger but i hear many comments about encoding
I’d say it comes down to pricing. The 6650 XT is generally more powerful but like you’ve said, it has some other drawbacks like the encoding. But if you want to primarily game on your system, then the issue of encoding is negligible
Do you think boneworks,stride,helpwanted,and blade and sorcery can run well on a 3060 on a reverb g2? btw awesome video!
and surgeon simulator and phasmophobia
@@soaky9148 Phasmo plays "not great" at native resolution but if you drop it down a bit, you can get it very playable. Surgeon Simulator should also run pretty well at native res. As for the others, I have no clue. I believe that all SHOULD be playable but you might have to tweak the settings. In the case of "Stride" you might have to tweak it a lot, because if you are doing parcour in VR it should be silky smooth lol
@@upper_case_T alright thank you!
For phasmophobia turn off anti-alisaing and it will run great.
On a 970 I ran fine with Phasmophobia BUT the frames were not consistent and the quality had to be turned down like crazy. I don't think Phasmophobia is very well optimized for VR
Hi, could you advise me please ? I have almost the same cpu, the ryzen 5 2600x with an rx 580gb, I was planning to invest in a 3060 12gb because the rx sucks, but I'm afraid that the cpu is also too picky, I wanted to know if I should also change my cpu or is it ok?
Hey there, sorry for the late response... If you haven't yet decided: The 2600x is still a decent CPU for gaming in general! It should perform totally fine together with a 3060. You can go for it without having to worry about it, since you can always upgrade the CPU later if you do run into some issues.
i run all my vr games fine on a rtx 2060
Do you think the game Hard Bullet would run well with a Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060ti and 16GB Ram? (With a Reverb G2)
I have no idea how well that game is optimized, since it just came out, but judging by the recommended specs on steam you should be able to easily run it with a 5600 and 3060 ti!
@@upper_case_T Thanks :D
It stutters with a 1660S so I think this card should do fine, depending on the VRAM if you got the 8gb version I am not so sure but the 12gb version would work fine.
With tweaks and compromises, you can still get a good experience with the G2 even on an old GPU like the RTX 2060 Super (that I use) along with an i7 3770k CPU. I run Half Life Alyx smoothly with all max settings at static resolution (forced through launch parameters) at 100% steam vr resolution with motion reprojection forced on (which targets 45fps). I run The Forest smoothly with forced reprojection at 50% steam vr resolution. With tweaks and compromises, you can have your money go really far and don't necessarily need a 3080+ etc to have a good experience!
how’d you tweak everything? i have a 5 3600 and a rtx 2060 and i use a valve index and i get really bad frame drops all the time even at 80 hz
@@S3econd Well I suppose we have completely different hardware so I can't say for sure why. One difference is that the RTX 2060 Super has an extra 2Gb of VRAM which might be critical. My card's 8Gb is just barely enough to avoid frame drops on my G2. Also, the only reason my gaming experience is smooth is because of forced motion reprojection - which is implemented in Windows Mixed Reality for Steam VR for my headset. It limits to 45fps so there is never any big jump between 90 and 45 as you're playing. The Valve Index will have its own technology that works differently. If you install fpsVR, that will show you what your CPU, GPU, VRAM usage etc are like during frame drops while playing which could give clues to help you work it out.
budget wise i have a ryzen 5 3600, gtx 1660, and 32gb of ram, and im able to play vr chat fallout 4 vr population 1 walkling dead pavlov even minecraft vr with shaders smooth with a quest 2 on airlink no lag or stuttering would a rtx 3060 be a good upgrade or should i try to upgrade my cpu and gpu?
The 3060 will definitely be a decent upgrade and your cpu is still fine if your primary focus is gaming. I would wait a little longer however, since we are already in the next generation of GPUs and you could save up some more until we get the 4060 (or other equivalent cards).
I run VR on an i7 4770 and gtx 1660 6gb. It runs fine, in fact, my cpu is holding me back. I need to upgrade my cpu before gpu. RTX 3060 12gb is a great entry level PCVR card if you get it cheap.
Personally, I'm gonna wait for Intel Arc Series GPUs to get VR support, because those are extremely intriguing for their price!
Bro thanks so much I’m looking for a pc for my birthday and it has a RTX 3060!
People coming to see performance of gpu. "I'm not going to show the performance of the gpu just my feelings"
Thats's why I put the disclaimer in the video. This video is meant as an easy to understand video, targeted at those who don't know much about the whole pc market. If you want a more detailed breakdown, there are already enough channels out there who do it way better than I could ever do!
@YPC Not really any 3060 vr breakdowns. The only reason I found your channel is because of that fact. And when they do it's literally just Half life Alxy with no break down. A few big tech channels made a video explaining the 12gb or testing the OC capabilities. The 3060 VR genre is dry. All I'm saying is you could fill that void. Never wondered why this video just happened to get 19k views?
@@BaldBadger The original idea when I started writing this video was something more along the lines of what you are saying and that definitely would have made for a better video, that is true. I really do appreciate the feedback and I'd love to deliver on that at some point. I'm just currently really short on time which is also why this video was cut down to this form...
Bro. I got a brand new GTX 3060 for 200 bucks from someone in town that didnt need it after buying a premade computer. Heck yeah! It's gonna work great with my Oculus Quest 2 and 3.5 processor!!!!!!!!
"Gtx 3060" "3.5 processor"
I've never heard that before..
is the 3060ti better or wors than the 3060? i have 3060ti and want a reverb g2 for simracing
ti GPUs are the faster versions of the regular card. so 3060ti is faster then 3060
Like saucy sauce said, the "ti" version is faster. By quite a lot even! Together with the G2 you'll have a banging simracing setup.
@@upper_case_T awsome, thx guys👍
The TI should be better because of the manufacturer making different features for the TI versions, but this depends GREATLY if you got a 8gb VRAM version. That lowers the headroom for the textures in VR and VR requires a lot of VRAM and I know this because my 1660S 6gb card struggles with high resolution VR gaming. I have to turn it down like crazy. I am very excited because I just got the 3060 normal one and I hope this is good.
Do you think I could run blade and sorcery and bone lab with a i5 12400F and a rtx 3060
With the right settings, you shouldn’t have any issues with those titles!
I play with a 1060, going for a 3060 should be more than enough 👌
Sadly .. I thought the same lol. Wish I got a 3080 at least.
@@Nocturnalgamer87 what is the problem? I am planning to buy 3060 or 3060ti
@@Alerak I bought the 3060ti and to run the quest 2 at it's best u need to multiple the render resolution by 1.4. With the 3060ti it doesn't have enough Headroom and I find that the vram often isn't enough. The 3080 is the best bet if u can get it second hand.
@@Nocturnalgamer87what the hell are you saying i can play at 1.6 fluidly with a 1050 and a i3. Maybe you need to tweak other settings
@@micholote4692 what game are u talking about here?
i’m getting a pc with a rtx 3060, ryzen 5 3600 and 16gb ram. will this be good for vr? (oculus quest 2)
yes
i actually got a 460 and a 5600x but i cant figure out how to make it look good in vr, idk what im doing wrong even with ethernet and link cable
Dou you know if the 3060 will run assetto corsa in VR well ?
Yes, but you might want to look into "OpenXR", to use that instead of SteamVR. I've had issues on SteamVR when trying to use the 3060 with Assetto Corsa. Doesn't mean you will also have issues with it, but I thought it's better to mention it.
somehow a gtx 1650 can perfectly run the forest VR, Half life Alyx , or VRChat on both the quest 2 with airlink , and a valve index with cable
Yeah my Walmart Evoo gaming laptop with the 1650 and 16 gb of ram can run a lot of steam vr games at medium settings i was surprised cuz it failed the steam vr test a couple months ago now it’s good to go
When you guys say it can run, whay fps are we talking?
@@wildfire7766 anything from 50 to 80 fps depending on what you look at and your graphics settings , unless its vrchat because that gets incosistent frames from 25 to 70 no matter if you use a 1650 or rtx 3060
Thank bro
Np ;)
Considering I used to do VR on a 970 with like sub 20fps without getting motion sickness, I think I'll be fine. xD
How do you think the 3060 rtx compares to a card like a 1660 super in terms of vr gaming? Is it worth the upgrade?
Definitely looks like an upgrade even without vr
@@hihellothere9569 I already returned my headset, not worth the hassle or investment
Would a laptop with a 2.9 GHz ryzen_7_4800h processor, Dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 6GB graphics card, and 32 GB of RAM be good enough to run a quest 2?
Your CPU isn't the best, even I have a 4.2ghz CPU and this still is not the best CPU for the 3060. 6gb is barely enough vram for VR. I have a 1660S currently and I am waiting for my 3060. With the 1600S it runs all 1080p flatscreen games and VR can be "Playable" but not the best experience. And this is a 6gb card. I doubt this won't run well because of the 3060 being a beast but if you see that your FPS isn't the same as all these videos that would be why.
You're using a mobile version of the 3060 which performs 10% worse than the desktop variant(some games running as low as 30% worse) on top of already lowering performance to save battery. In fact, the mobile 3060 performs about the same as the 1660 super. Btw unlike what the other guy said, your CPU should still hold up for modern gaming as it shouldn't completely bottlecap the mobile variant of the 3060 unless you're playing games that don't utilize the full capabilities of your CPU or ram(like MInecraft).
Btw desktop 3060 runs every top VR game at high settings in my experience. Testing was done on an Oculus Rift S and Quest 2 and both run at their respective frames fine. You'd only be experiencing frame drops on headsets like the Vive Pro 2 but with a price of nearly 1000 dollars, you could probably afford a 3080 anyways to run it.
rocking with msi armor rx570 8gb. Still doing good. But id not recommend using amd card.
Will most games run at 72hz?
72 fps is definitely possible in most games, as long as you are willing to experiment with different settings and other stuff that can increase performance in the titles that don't run well natively.
Is a 4060 ti i5-13600k 32 gb of ddr4 ram 3200 mhz good enough for big vr titles life half life alex pavlov etc
Yup, you shouldn't have any problems!
@@upper_case_T Thanks!
Currently running a 5600x 16 GBs of ram soon to be 32 at 3200MHZ with a 3060 12 gb gpu I should have decent experience right 🫤
Do you think a AMD ryzen 5 5600g can handle the hp reverb g2?
Do you have a dedicated graphics card in your system aswell? The 5600G is an "APU", so it's a CPU that has an inbuilt GPU (which isn't all that powerful). So if you are looking to do some proper VR gaming I would highly suggest getting an actual dedicated GPU for you system, if you haven't already. Like the RTX 3060 (or ti) or the RX 6600XT for example.
@@upper_case_T ok thank you!
6600xt (amd) offers similar performance to the 3060 (nvidia) except for ray tracing. People pay more for a 3060 because of nvidia’s brand name
@@Thymed The 6600 XT is currently a better value in most markets, however the 3060, and the whole 3000 Series, performs better at higher resolutions, which is why I personally prefer them. And in addition to that you get more reliable drivers and software which was an important aspect for me when I bought it.
Of course, I have a ryzen 5 3600 and reverb g2 and even a dated gtx 1070 card and everything runs great.
is a 3060 good for the quest 1 to play vrchat rec room and half life alyx
My friend played alyx with a 970, you're good bud.
Yeah, these should run nicely on the 3060 with the Quest 1!
Ngl it will for sure run but you're the first person I've heard owning a quest 1 lol.
Not that it's a bad thing I just never really thought about it till now.
I can run every vr game that I have on my 1050 ti (oculus Rift)
I'd say a 1050 Ti can be "good enough" for VR.
That card work fine, but if you need more resolution in vr headset try buy rtx 3060, i can play fallout 4 vr verywell with gtx 1050ti 4gb
@benny7569shut it
i have a RTX 3060ti and its amazing. Honestly 100fps all the time on Ultra settings. If you want a Good GPU but cant be bothered saving for a couple of more months just get the TI.
do u get loading screens while playing vr with a 3060?
wdym ofc u get loading screens you get that with any card@@Aerocoll
GPU doesnt change loading times@@Aerocoll
im playing vr games with 1650 its great
i have a laptop with an rtx 3060 can that still run vr?
Yes it will! The mobile RTX 3060 for laptops isn't as powerful as the desktop version of the GPU, but you should still have a great experience. You might have to tweak the ingame settings a bit more, but thats it.
I wonder if it will apply as well for the laptop version of 3060. Anybody can attest this?
I actually bought a laptop with a 3060 recently so I thought about covering this at some point. I haven't properly tested it yet, but generally speaking the mobile 3060 is just about 5-10% slower in regular gaming. So even on a laptop you should be good to go for VR!
I have gigabyte g5 laptop rtx 3060. Use OpenXR instead of steamVR; got 80 stable fps on Half life, hard bullet, boneworks at medium quality. I have 40 fps on mods like RE2, RE8... laptop need to be cooled if you want to increase fps. Lots of games are not optimised for VR.
I play with oculus rift S
if I can run vr on my 1050TI then im sure this is a good gpu for vr
No it is not, good enough, but it is very decent for casual playing, meaning you don't depend on imput lag to enjoy VR, such is the case with Sim Racing. If you want to have crisp image without having to compromise on resolution, you will have to increase detail, and with that, the stress on the hardware will increase, you will still hit a comfortable Fps, but you will notice it in the steering wheel, and depending on your device, Quest 2 for instance, will trigger AWS and you will get all sort of spikes that won't help you at all.
Meaning that you will always have to compromise quite a bit to achieve a decent experience. Obviously a couple of spikes won't matter playing casual stuff, and if you are gonna play cyberpunk in VR you will be more than happy playing at 45fps at medium detail.
3060 is good for quest 2 vrchat?
Yes! You only need to worry about big open lobbies with people who use avatars that can lag or flat out crash your system ;D
@@upper_case_T thx
@@upper_case_T I think that is just an issue with most GPUs because I have seen a whole bunch of people complaining about performance in big lobbies.
I know perfectly well about the asynchronous spacewarp etc. And, it's a worthless test if you don't show us numbers "runs fine" doesn't mean anything.
I can't play games with jitter, they're jagging for me, awful experience. I'm buying a new GPU because of that.
If you really don't notice the interpolation, good for you.
What's great about motion sickness is that you can get rid of it if you play enough vr, i used to get heavily sick after every time I played, and I was on stand alone so the fps and graphics were super choppy and hard on the eyes, every time i got out of vr it felt like I just went threw 50 different portals at the same time and just so happened to arrive at earth, I felt like I wanted to throw up, but I kept coming back and back and back, the main reason I probably don't get sick anymore is because I played gorilla tag, this was a while ago like 2 summers ago, but I no longer get sick, the only time I do get a headache though is when I play for long periods of time, but that's because I use the quest 2 default strap.
Frame rate and render resolution are literally the most important and only factors lol. playing with ASW looks like shit. Fake frames are not equal to real ones
You're right, but I didn't want this to be a benchmark video. I just wanted to make a quick and easy to understand video, for those who are wondering if their 3060 is gonna be enough for VR gaming. Because that is the same question I had and I had to look at benchmarks and other stuff for a while, to come to that conclusion, before buying my VR headset lol
Also I think frame smoothing with reprojection on the Reverb G2 looks decent enough, even if they're not "real" frames
Hey I was wondering if a 3060ti can run vr will I’m thinking about getting one in my pc
Yes, it's even more powerful than the regular RTX 3060
@@upper_case_T but it is 8gb. Is there a problem with that?
@@upper_case_T I am planning to buy 3060/3060ti Can't decide
@@Alerak the 3060 ti CAN be up to 30% faster than the non ti version, depending on the game. If the ti model is within your budget I would recommend going for that one! Or you could take a look at AMDs 6700 XT, which trades blows with the 3060 ti (and sometimes 3070 depending on the game), in regular gaming. Compare the prices in your region and see which one fits best!
@@Alerak For a G2, 8Gb is really a minimum, it definitely could cause bottlenecks compared to higher vram capacities, but it won't prohibit a good gaming experience, but you will need to be mindful about vram usage when gaming

i have a ryzen 5 5600x, 1660ti, 64 gigs of ram, and i only have good quality vr experiences, you dont NEED a high end gpu to have vr fun, especially if you use things like open composite to bypass shitty programs like steam vr that use a fuck ton of resources
Good to hear that you are having a great time! This was kinda the point of this video... Everyone (myself included) is always so hung up on specs and exact fps numbers, that we forget to ask the most important question: "but is it fun though?"

Can a 3060 play Pavlov
Honestly, I haven't played much Pavlov with the 3060, but from what little I played it worked pretty well.
Pavlov will run on gtx 980 and rtx 3050.

Hello bro, I have rtx 3060 laptop gpu, but when I play few minutes (Phasmophohia) it starts to lag, fpsVR show me that Gpu and cpu is increasing to 100% so I have 2-7 fps
Do you know how to fix this and what resolution is the best for this RTX 3060 Laptop Gpu
I read about this bug, dev said that this is a known issue, a memory leak, so there is nothing wrong from your side. Dev said that it will be fixed as soon as they can
@@user-il3xq3df5u thank you very much
First, install OpenXR and play it instead of steamVR. OpenXR provides a Turbo mode which boost 10 fps more. Then, turn on DLSS to Adaptative (nvidia control panel), disable AWS in Oculus Debug tool. I have 3060 laptop and got 80 fps on Half life at 100% scale, medium graphics. V-sync off. Also you should buy a cooler pad because CPU heats a lot when playing VR. Then you have to know that some game are not optimised for VR like RE2 or RE8. Personaly i got 40 fps stable on RE2 and RE8 with 3060 laptop.
@@SCARECROM I fixed it, the shop gave me broken laptop so I refunded and it works good now
How would this work with Microsoft Flight Simulator in VR?
MSFS will probably be rough on the 3060. You'll have to do some tweaking to get it to feel pleasant. I'd personally say the 3060 ti would be a better option for it.
In general MSFS VR isn't a good experience without something like a 4080 or 3090. The 3060 TI wouldn't be a huge difference either, just because of the super demanding nature of MSFS VR.
Are you German because the things like Munition and Gesundheit
Is the RTX 3060 good enough for VR gaming? - THE SHORT ANSWER IS: YES. thank me later. Your ears will start bleeding.....
This video means nothing, I run half life Alyx on a quest 2 and a GTX 1660ti and it runs Very well 🤷♂️
