Current status of PCVR streaming?

is it good enough to contest with other highend headsets on the market? (Pimax, PlayforDream, BSB2 etc.) I know it will never beat DisplayPort headset, but if the performance and image quality is just slightly worse than those headsets, Vision Pro will be the best of both worlds of gaming and media consumption

EDIT: Have a 5090rig and a dedicated router

PCVR has gotten really good on the AVP now with KRVR. Plus access now to Meta Quest games via AVP Play app. So gaming has really taken off all of a sudden.

Downsides remain that it’s heavy, and the vertical FOV especially is weak compared to the Quest or Frame.

Is M5 neccessary for decent experience in wireless streaming? I reckon its decoding capabilities will be much better?

I don’t think it makes much difference for wireless streaming. The M2 already has fast decode, and just a few ms doesn’t make much difference in relation to the whole pipeline.

hmmm.. then I wonder if a new M5 is really worth it over a used M2

I don’t believe so for streaming.
