Yes, technically, kinda. Aside from being much more expensive the Index is also not wireless (at least not without an add-on?) and requires a (beefy) PC.
Personally, if it weren't for the Facebook account requirement I'd probably opt for a Quest 2. As it is, I don't think VR is worth the investment of an Index to me so I'll stick with my second hand not-updated-since-before-Oct-2020 Rift because it is perfectly adequate for Beat Saber.
- oauea 5y agoOculus requires the exact same beefiness of your PC as Index. If you're happy using the Oculus on-board processing, you might as well use a laptop from 10 years ago as your PC, it will have the same quality. If you actually want decent VR you need a beefy PC for both platforms. So that is a non-argument.
- anotherman554 5y agoPC software for VR is not written to support 10 year old PCs and a 10 year old Laptop won't have the ports an Index needs. Oculus software is written to support the Snapdragon processor. So your post is not correct. It's not about which solution is more powerful, it's about what the software is targeting for minimum requirements.
