This is just a copy of a post I made in another thread, but few read such replies, and this game deserves more attention. I consider this one of the major PCVR releases this year. Seems other Index owners agree - my post about the game has been upvoted nearly 500 times on the Index SubReddit:
Thus it seems other high-end VR enthusiast agrees that Myst PCVR is a major release. But to repeat:
The high-end Myst VR version arrives next week. More info here:

New trailer:
The game is 20GB and the recommended gpu is a GTX 1070. Sounds like the real deal to me!
Seems even ray-tracing is supported, and the game is now more than twice the size of the low-end Quest version:
"Built from the ground up to play both in VR as well as traditional flatscreen displays, Myst is teeming with new art, new sound, re-imagined interactions, and even optional puzzle randomization. Finally... the highly anticipated Myst 2D/VR experience has arrived! [...]
- A large number of graphics options to choose from, such as supersampling options and Ray Tracing to bring the best Myst experience out of the hardware you have."
Looks like we're getting the full 2D version in VR, which may indicate we're getting the full polygon levels and more! Hopefully we can now truly experience Myst for the very first time. We'll see.
Btw, for Quest owners already having bought the low-end standalone Myst version, the high-end PCVR version will be free in the Oculus Store (=cross-buy).

BabelTechReviews investigated Myst performance in VR using 9 different video cards (up to 3080 Ti):

Not sure I like their review-style, but investigations like these are few. Also I'm using res 450% in Myst with DLSS Performance in 45 fps with motion smoothing, and it looks beyond amazing - BabelTechReviews seems only to investigate much lower res making it of less interest to me. With the new high-end video card you really need to push the boundaries outside what you'd normally do or consider safe - and you might be positively surprised by the results.
Yesterday I revive Beat Saber - using 144 fps - res 400% 😮 - and 4xMSAA - and got solid 144 fps. Not sure the game is ever going to be looking much better. Normally I would just have settled for res 200%, but pushing the boundaries does give some surprising results - and an image quality you could only dream of a few years ago.
