What You Should Know Before You Buy a VR Headset for VR Porn
Are you looking around for your first VR headset? Are you probably aiming for the new Quest 2 or HP Reverb G2? Or maybe you want to go wild and are thinking about the Valve Index or the classic Oculus Rift? It is hard to decide on one particular model. The only time you will not have any problems with the choice is when your PC more than meets the recommended requirements of most AAA titles and high-quality VR porn scenes in up to 8K ultra-high-definition virtual reality. Then you are left with choosing the VR headset with the most features. And of course an unlimited amount of cash. Without money, nothing can be done. We assume, however, that looking for your first VR goggles you will not be aiming at the ultra-expensive device which you may hide in a drawer after a month. So what VR goggles are worth buying in order not to pay much but to be able to enjoy the smooth gameplay of premium VR porn movies without much trouble?
PC VR or Standalone VR
The number of VR goggles models on the market today is quite large. For several years, on average every 2-3 months there are new announcements of new devices. So how to buy a device without fear that in a year it will be at least outdated? First of all, we need to make a decision – do we want a VR set that provides really high-quality graphics, very good motion tracking BUT requires connection to a computer, or do we agree to a compromise quality/price and choose standalone VR goggles? For VR porn videos this question seems obvious to many – but, on the other hand, a lot of us still prefer quality over comfort, making PC VR goggles a choice that is also really worth considering.
Standalone VR Goggles
If we decide to choose a "standalone" type of VR goggles, in fact, currently there are literally a few models on the market that are worth bothering with. The most popular is of course the Oculus Quest 2. You can also take a look at the Oculus Go. You can also use headsets that use your cell phone as an image source. That is a far-reaching compromise, though, and can make you lose a lot of quality in our best-looking virtual reality porn experiences – not to mention that the watch time will be shorter, so you will not be able to enjoy such long streaks with your favorite VR sex.
PC VR – VR Supported by Your Computer
The most powerful VR goggles are those supported by powerful PCs. The better graphics card we have in our computer and the better lenses we have installed in our Goggles, the more immersive and engaging our gameplay will be. At the moment the most popular PC VR goggles are Valve Index, Oculus Rift S, or HTC Vive. There are also solutions much more expensive and offer, for example, 4K resolution. It is worth paying attention to how the cable management or available games/programs and what are the requirements for motion tracking – whether the goggles can handle it alone or need additional trackers. Generally, PC VR is better fun but much more expensive than standalone VR goggles, but as long as you can afford it and you care about the quality of your virtual reality sex the most, this choice should be your best pick.
Want to Watch on a PC? Time to Talk about the Hardware You Need
PC-supported VR goggles require more or less of your computer to support them – which comes at some additional cost. We have written a separate article about the graphics cards that will suffice to support VR porn (and our recommendations for buying a GPU), but today we would like to expand on that and talk a bit about the capabilities offered by two leading manufacturers of such hardware – AMD and NVIDIA. Thanks to the lookup below you will now know how to get your PC VR porn experiences to the next level with the highest-quality GPUs on the market!
AMD Radeon VR Ready Premium
AMD has prepared its own certification program for graphics cards and components for computers that are to clearly signal that the item supports VR. So far, the certification program has passed several cards produced by AMD.
Hardware requirements for computers supporting VR Ready Premium
For a computer-based on AMD graphics card to receive support for VR Ready Premium certification and be able to take advantage of the benefits of the program, it must meet specific, minimum requirements. The components that the computer must have are:
- Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 5 1500X or Intel i5-4590 or other better
- RAM: 8GB minimum
- Video outputs: DisplayPort™ 1.2 (1.3 for HP Reverb G2)

NVIDIA VR
NVIDIA is paying a lot of attention to adapting its new graphics cards for VR. Practically all-new graphics cards from the last 2-3 years have VR support. Below you can find a list of graphics cards from NVIDIA that support VR. Interestingly, NVIDIA is constantly developing various technologies that make it easier to use VR goggles and create new applications for them – including the future of VR porn movies where, just like in Dezyred.com, virtual reality sex will be getting more and more interactive and realistic.
VR Features in GeForce RTX
VR WORKS in GeForce RTX Variable Rate Shading (VRS): This new technique improves rendering performance and quality by allowing the full GPU processing power to be used for shading the most important areas of a VR porn scene, and reducing the use of the GPU for shading less important elements. Single Pass Multi-view: Single Pass Stereo was introduced with GeForce GTX 1080 to accelerate rendering by drawing geometry only once and then projecting it onto the display for both the right and left eye simultaneously. This allowed game developers to nearly double the geometric complexity of VR applications, as well as the richness and detail of virtual worlds. The Single Pass Multi-view technique builds on this, enabling up to four images to be projected simultaneously and offering an ultra-wide field of view on next-generation VR headsets, which is, according to us, the technology of the future of VR porn experiences. Accelerated Ray-Traced VR Audio NVIDIA VRWorks Audio is a ray-traced audio solution that enables a complex acoustic scene of a virtual environment, providing physically correct and realistic audio that reflects the size, shape, and properties of the materials that make up the virtual environment. The solution is accelerated by the real-time ray tracing technology offered on GeForce RTX chips, which significantly increases performance and quality, which is also a gamechanger when it comes to high-quality VR sex that we all love so much.
