VIVE PRO 2

WWW.VIVE.COM £719 / $799

If you’re after sheer fidelity from your PC VR gaming experience, you’ll struggle to find a better headset than the HTC Vive Pro 2. With an incredible 5K resolution, it’s about as sharp as VR headsets get before entering truly niche enthusiast territory. With a fast refresh rate and wide field of view, you’ll really be able to see every detail from your time in VR, to the point where you begin to approach photo-real quality in some high-end apps.

Clarity like this comes at a high price, and we’re not just talking about the expense of the HTC Vive Pro 2 kit itself. To be able to power this headset at any sort of stable frame rate, you’re going to need a very high-specification PC and graphics card, which may make the whole endeavour prohibitively expensive.
