"Valve is back in the VR market for the first time since the 2019 Valve Index, this time with the Steam Frame, a standalone VR headset that aims to compete on the higher-end of the market, based on its specs. Since this is a standalone headset, it can't rely on the power of a PC or console. As such, it's packing some beastly specs under the plastic."
"A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm ARM 8-core CPU) powers the headset, paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM for high performance. An Adreno 750 GPU delivers roughly 25-30% higher VR performance than Meta Quest 3, particularly for eye-tracked foveated rendering scenarios. Dual LCD panels at 2160 × 2160 pixels per eye (two times the resolution of the Valve Index), with a configurable refresh rate from 72Hz to 120Hz (and experimental 144Hz mode)."
Valve's Steam Frame is a standalone high-end VR headset powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. An Adreno 750 GPU targets 25–30% higher VR performance than Meta Quest 3, especially with eye-tracked foveated rendering. Dual 2160×2160 LCD panels deliver double the Valve Index resolution with configurable refresh rates up to 120Hz and experimental 144Hz. Storage options include 256GB or 1TB plus a microSD slot for quick swaps with Steam Machine or Steam Deck. SteamOS with Fex enables running Windows x86 VR titles on Linux and side-loading mobile VR apps. The headset weighs 440g and supports modular, 3D-printable accessories.
