Valve Index and others

Is the headset on its own all that is needed for MSFS?

yes

@Roland101

Does Valve Index allow for use of a lower end GPU? - I don’t mean low end GPU but older GPU such as GTX 980 for example or GTX 1070 - And still provide good FPS?

you won’t need a 3070 minimum like for a Varjo Aero but you’ll still require something better than a GTX 980 for decent fps.

@Roland101

Also are there problems with use on AMD CPU’s?

I’ve never owned an Index but I’ve never heard of problems with AMD.

@Roland101

Is it correct that Valve Index is the best all round VR taking everything into consideration?

imo I don’t think so. The best all round VR headset is the quest 2 as it’s so versatile…but if you’re only using sims some will say the G2 is best as it has high clarity. The best for MSFS is the Varjo Aero but that is very high price.

What are your specs? I would advise a quest 2 or a G2 if you have the pc (gpu mainly) to power them.
