Pros: - The new pancake lenses in the Quest 3 are stunning; so much better than the Fresnel lenses - Resolution is greatly improved, everything looks so crisp and clean - Great spatial audio - Gives new life to 3D movies, seriously blown away watching Doctor Strange in 3D via Skybox VR - Mixed reality content while not mind blowing, is cool if you have good lighting conditions - Bluetooth gamepad support - Official gamepass streaming app coming in December 2023 - Improved haptic feedback in the controllers - You can use software (Quest Games Optimizer) to run Quest 2 games at higher resolutions/detail even if they don't have official Quest 3 updates - Frequent updates to the firmware from Meta

Cons: - The head strap that it ships with is appalling - Drains batteries faster than the Quest 2, so a battery head strap/pack is advisable - Again, the head strap is just awful

Overall Review: Highly recommended if, like me, you've been using a Quest 2 for PCVR and are looking for a decent upgrade.

Phenomanal Card

ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 TUF-RTX3080-O10G-GAMING Video Card

Pros: - Perfect for 4K gaming @ 60Hz - DLSS - Significant RTX improvements over the 2080 - Cool... although it heats up the glass panel on my case, the card never gets above 69C

Cons: - I have to run my monitor (Acer Predator x27) at 82Hz, not 120Hz otherwise the latest display drivers hang about once a day and resets my PC. I'm pretty sure it's a driver issue though as I installed 456.71 and the display driver can recover from hangs, not reset the PC. - I also made a TdrDelay entry in my windows registry, and haven't had a crash or hang since (running at 82Hz and 456.71)

Overall Review: - Overall I'm really impressed with the quality and cooling of this card. Despite the cons (which can be mitigated) if you can get ahold of this card I highly recommend it.
