I'm finally ready to dive into PC VR gaming and I'm trying to decide between the Meta Quest 3 and the Valve Index as my first serious headset. My priority is immersive gaming with good tracking and comfort for longer sessions, and I have a capable gaming PC to drive it. For VR enthusiasts who have used both standalone and PC-tethered systems, what are the real-world trade-offs in terms of visual fidelity, ease of use, and the overall library of games, and is the higher cost of the Index still justified given the advancements in newer standalone hardware?
