Mattman Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 After 5 hours today trouble shooting. Told my gtx980ti will not work with vive wireless. I finally got it working. The fault was the short 3 in 1 cable. Just used longer cable and wrapped it up tightly on vive. Finally got 20 miutes of play after charging for 3 hours with original vive plugs. So we have to buy a quick charger ? I was told i cant buy a new cable. So will see what eu support say, whenever they get back to me. All in all a day wasted. Im charging now on usb v3 (blue). See how that goes. Anyone got a solution ? Ta. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 , just a quick comment on the charging portion: In most countries, the controller chargers that ship with the Vive output 100mA. A USB 3.0 port outputs 900mA and thus will charge dramatically faster. That said, you probably have a 1-2 amp smartphone charger laying around which will be even quicker. For fastest results, use a QC 3.0 enabled adapter. While it is a QC3 battery, charging at higher voltages may impact your batteries longterm lifespan. A GTX980 may not deliver the best performance with the wireless adapter. Although it has a higher raw calculations output than a 1060 (the minimum requirement) it doesn't have any of the Turing architecture. I've flagged support about the 3-in-1.

Mattman Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thank you for flagging. I learnt a lot about chargers tonight !! But a charger should have being shipped. Should not have to google solutions to problems vive knew would come up. Ill order a fast charger v3 2amp on ebay later. And a battery pack with same spec as vive. Also ordered a 1070ti card just now. Vr is not cheap !! My power pack is still on one green bar ( light) after 50 mins on usb 3..and 1 hour on vive power plug. Might get 20 mins play later before sleep ! I know its new tech..but ... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
