        Yup, they are targeting people deep into the PCVR ecosystem. Index owners are their ideal customers. And now, people who previously purchased an Index and a Beyond too.

      Yeah thats pretty much the beyond 1 also. I wasn’t expecting anything different. Also you only really need 2 base stations

    If this could be used standalone, I’d be interested. Hell, I might be interested anyways since we have no idea if the valve 2 is coming out anytime.

    Why is the resolution limited at 90hz?

    There should be plenty of bandwidth to run 2x2560x2560 at 90hz. That should only be ~28.3gbps, which is less than dp 1.4 max of 32.

    And it’s less bandwidth than a 4k monitor at 240hz, though that requires DSC.

      90hz is not a resolution, it’s a frequency.

      And my guess is; to make it usable to a broader range, since not everyone has the current gen top powerful GPU.

      I think you can order prescription lenses with it. Maybe with the halo strap it might accommodate glasses nicely.
