The 2880x1600 resolution means you can easily read all the text on Alyx's various cans of food and posters and floppy disks, while the default 90Hz refresh rate is smooth enough to mitigate motion sickness (to an extent). Best resolution, best refresh rate, best audio, best comfort, best tracking, best FOV-basically, the best of everything. If you've got a solid gaming PC and $500 to spare (or $999 for the full kit, including controllers and base stations), you should buy Valve's headset.

But assuming you have options, my recommendations are as follows: If you're reading this in March 2020, the answer is probably not the best VR headset but rather, "whatever you can get your hands on." VR headset stock has been mostly sold out ever since Valve announced Alyx. It's the less quantifiable features that make the Index stand out.ĭesigned around Valve's premium Index headset and controllers, Alyx is nevertheless compatible with a whole host of hardware, from the original Oculus Rift and HTC Vive to the new Oculus Quest and Rift S, and even Windows Mixed Reality.

Ultra: An RTX 2080 Ti, or some future equivalent.

High: An RTX 2070 or 2080, an RX 5700 XT, or equivalent.

Low/Medium: A GTX 1660 or 1660 Ti, or an RX 5600 XT, or equivalent.

Even on the lowest settings, I experienced massive amounts of tearing and dropped frames. The takeaway? Yes, you can do it-but you probably shouldn't. At the risk of vomiting on my own bedroom floor, I tried running Alyx on a GTX 1650. The situation is even weirder on the AMD side, where an RX 5700 XT defaults to "Medium," despite the equivalent RTX 2070 defaulting to "High." You can definitely bump the RX 5700 XT higher, in my experience. A 2080 Ti defaults to "High" and not "Ultra," but having run the game maxed out I couldn't tell you why. They really don't want people to get sick.

Generally I found Valve's presets a bit conservative.

I did what I could though, and used three short sections of Alyx to run my tests-one at the very beginning of the game as a Combine Strider walked in front of City 17's Citadel, another particle-heavy section later on involving a well-meaning Vortigaunt, and a third in the pitch-dark (and headcrab infested) sewers.
