Since I'm thinking about getting into the VR world , which is/are the unit(s) I should be looking at to work with GGMax and other games/products .

The whole point of using OpenXR is that it shouldn't matter what VR hardware you use.

Yes but starting out in VR with all the different products is very confusing, i would search on Youtube some people have put videos showing all the different common VR sets, what you need for each set the cost of each set and if they are worth it as a beginner or are for advanced users or collectors.

I do believe the Occulus Quest with the link cable is the best all rounder and cheapest. As it can be used standalone and with PC with the Link cable. Cost between £200 used to £500 new. I would check yourself on Youtube and make your own mind up.

Yh anything that runs openXR will be fine for max so budget really is the main decision here, if you want a solid lower budget you can't go wrong with the oculus quest and it's great for hassle free playing of oculus games but it can be a little annoying to get working with the pc (especially for dev purposes) as the link cable tends to fall out or get disconnected a lot and if you are just focusing on your pc to power the game you might as well get a cheaper headset

If you can afford a valve index than obviously that is the best on the market.

If you want to go very low budget you can get a Windows mixed reality headset but you will always get what you pay for so don't go expecting the same experience compared to the index etc.

ah there were so many factors that came into play when getting my PC VR ready. I bought a Dell Windows Mixed Reality headset off ebay which is great. Firstly, I had to upgrade / install myself an upgraded PSU as I needed an extra lead that was missing (think it was a 8 pin GFX card connector to my upgraded GFX card GTX 1060), then I realised I didn't have any USB 3.0 ports only 2.0 and then no bluetooth dongle. Along with this, the terrible motherboard I have hides the PCI slot I needed to slot in the USB 3.0 card expansion when slotting in the upgraded GFX card etc etc. So make sure your PC has all that's needed.

I own an Oculus Quest and its a good all rounder, Wireless, Portable. No extras needed and of course Oculus Link to run steam and any sideloaded games and apps. ( With Virtual Desktop you do not even need the cable ) Its almost a VR gaming console in its own right without the need of a PC but you still get access to all the VR content around.

Do you not use Virtual Desktop app on the Occulus Quest? It provides wireless PC connection.

i do but i was just using the link cable disconnect as an example compared to a headset with a built in cable... it still isn't really an ideal headset to use if you are only planning on using it to play/dev games powered by your PC
