Abstract: BTR has been reviewing and benchmarking VR games and hardware since 2016 when we started out with a Rift CV1 and then upgraded to a Vive Pro two years later. Three weeks ago, we received a Reverb G2 on loan from Hewlett Packard (HP). Coincidentally, we...
Abstract: This review presents a fifteen-game VR performance showdown between the RX 6800 XT and the RTX 3080 using the Vive Pro and FCAT VR. We have also added Assetto Corsa Competizione and Into the Radius for this review. Since we posted our original review...
