25 game benchmark for newest AMD drivers compared to old ones. Seems to be better overall and less buggy according to the article. Worth a read of you have AMD

That is the best time to offer proper drivers. Just before the EOL of a product.

Nice !
Only thing I need to do is to figure out where I'm going to put the base station, Only 1 works, The other has no power going to it for whatever reason so need to RMA it, Should be fine though only need 1 for basic HMD activity.
I believe your Base station 1.0 should work. You had the vive right?
And good luck with the RMA... even the base 2.0 are on such a back order with such a high volume, that its taking 8 weeks for some to get. Or rather 3months.
For a single station I would mount it above the monitor if you can. But you paid £50 more than what he paid, and with only 1 base statioon? not sure id be happy with that.
In Norway people are buying them and reselling them for double the price, not 50 more :S

I honestly had no problem paying 50 quid more to skip the 3+ months of waiting, I got a brand new, Sealed, Never opened Index that I'll use extensively for ED and various race games.
The OG base stations are from my old Vive, Which sadly passed away after I dropped it onto a concrete floor during moving...... XD
Luckily the base station that died I bought from the UK store called Scan, As a replacement for the original base station that came with the Vive that died but was out of warranty and they've already okayed the RMA, If I ship it today I'll get a brand new one around Monday or so, So not bad
On a side note, Got an email from my ISP, EE, Saying the price is going up on the 31st of this month from £20 a month to £40 a month, Bare in mind this is an 18Mbps line which drops out A LOT, There is zero fibre in the area as it's basically in the country side.
I lol'ed, Called them, Complained and then cancelled, No way I'm paying £40 a month for net this bad so I'm going to be internet free for a while.

Definitely a tragedy. He was a great person on-screen and (afaik) off-screen. I really loved his enthusiasm in Mythbusters and learned a lot from him watching it over the years. You could tell it was more than a 9-5 to him. Way too young.

So even though I technically bought the Index pre-owned, Even though it was still sealed from the factory, Never opened etc... Steam support told me the warranty follows the hardware, Not the original buyer AND "Rick" added Half Life Alyx to my library for me free of charge, All in all not a bad day, Now just to wait 8 weeks for my Index controllers to be delivered ^_^

oh so you didnt get the kit?
Controllers I believe are not backlogged like the base stations or head so you will get them sooner.

Nope, Brand new sealed Index HMD £500, Full warranty etc... as for the controllers, I got told up to 8 weeks but I've seen people get them after 2 so here's hoping ^_^

Came across this article from PCGamer
https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-has-become-exhausting/
Actually pretty interesting. Never realized it until now but Valve treats it's customers like a social experiment. Gamifying sales and getting people to spend real money just to use fake money.
And people think Epic Store is bad.

I figured this out as soon as Valve did that store and community upgrade back in 2010 and the option to sell, buy trading cards, emotes and all that became available.

I wasn't a PCGamer back then. Joined around 2014 maybe? Sometime around there. Was young and didn't pay attention.
But now I see it. It's just sad. People target microtransactions and whatnot for video games when they all don't even see the biggest game software in the world is doing the same thing but behind a "storefront" so it's less obvious.
