The help desk suggested that I raise this issue here .

The latest range of nVidia drivers (451+, versions with the new GPU Scheduling feature) exhibit severe frame drops on AMD 3950x / x570 / 2080ti / Rift CV1 hardware.

v446.xx versions have better performance than the latest versions.

I currently get good performance with v446.14 but cannot play some new games because they insist on v451+ versions, and the oculus headset will no longer be useable.

Continued support of the latest hardware and drivers is critical as some recent games will not run if the latest video drivers are not installed.

Dear Oculus R&D Team

I am a long time Oculus supporter. I currently have the Oculus Go, Rift and Rift S.

I prefer the original to my Rift S due to the higher refresh rate and inclusion of OLED lenses but only my Rift S will fit over my glasses.

Also I would love to know why Oculus Product Development moved away from the superior OLED lenses in the original Rift and replaced them with a sub-par single pane of glass LCD design for the Rift S. Not having OLED completely ruins the experience and immersion for any VR games that have darker scenes. The blackness of space in Star Wars Squadron would be a good example of this. Another good example would be first person horror games.

it also concerns me that the Quest 1 has OLED display but the Quest 2 is using LCD displays. I was about to click the pre-order button for the Quest 2 on the day it was announced but then to my displeasure I discovered that it is using LCD lenses. I myself am a business man and understand the concept of cutting cost to increase net profit but there is a delicate balance to this art. As you know LCD is cheaper for manufacturers to buy in bulk than OLED but at the end of the day you run the risk of losing customers by offering a new product that has drawbacks that may out way the benefits of the new features.

Here is a list of VR headsets I currently own.

HTC Vive
Oculus Go
Oculus Rift
Oculus Rift S
Playstation VR
Valve Index

As you can see I have a broad range of VR headsets and am very opinionated on the benefits and drawbacks of each product.

I would love to work with your Product Manager. I believe my 35 years of gaming knowledge and 25 years of IT Professional Experience would be beneficial to Oculus as a company.

VR is the future and I fully stand behind it.

Help me help make Oculus a household name and achieve its full potential.

Thank you,

I am rift s owner of which I got my rift s in late July of this year with the plan of devlopeing games and experiences with it, I thought that this device only just year old would serve me for such purpose for the next five years or so, I am deeply unhappy that only two months on and you have discontinued both models I had plan to build for.
I don't have the money to replace this item as it was the kindness of my family who scrimp and saved to get me the handset as I wouldn't have had the money to get such a device myself.
I am absolutely horrified that this has happened, I now have a headset that will not live up to such a time line, and would have to fork out an additional £299 for the updated model, of which I don't have such a fund for.
I am beyond livid, due to press releases giving miss leading information in regards to the replacement product being a step down from the quest as a quest light, however this seems to be a quest pro, superseding both quest and rift s.
I feel that some compensation is in order, this is not exceptible behaviour for a market leader to discontinue two perfectly good products in less then two years.
This will once again be a massive setback to myself and the project I am working on, one would of hopped that this would have not have been the case with a company such as Facebook and oculus.

get a call center and get a live chat like every other company, for such a huge tech company you guys suck. im going to sell my rift s to some poor guy who thinks its a good idea to buy one and go get a headset that actually works like the reverb g2 or htc vive pro at least i know they will back their product. i cant even get this thing to connect and i know tons of people are having problems and nothing is being done about it. no update, no nothing? people are spending alot of money on these and the best we can hope for is that it works and maybe we will get a helpful email when it doesn't work.

Accidently Leak the engineering of the Original Oculus Rift and Rift S Cable so that third party manufactures can make replacement cables.

I can no longer interact with my friends and family now that my headset cable kinked up due to normal use. During this pandemic Ive relied On my Oculus to chat with friends and family with VRChat. Keep Phyisically active playing Beat Saber but now I just for fortnite Thats an OOF I would upgrade to a RIftS but all sold out I would get a quest but sold out or Pay $200 - $300 Dollars extra to those that are using this pandemic and your product to take advantage of your customers your fans and the community Oculus built. We understand things take a bit to make but you can rely on others to help release the notes let us get back to gaming
