howdydoody As much as I hate to admit it, the Quest 2 is the best all-round HMD. Ease of use, compatibility, support, capabilities, price.
If mobility and price isn't a concern, then a Reverb G2 or PIMAX 5k/8k
TLDR
Some stuff to consider:
- Compatibility (Datasheet of your specific card)
- Display port 1.3 or newer for up to 8k60.
Your card is DP 1.4
- HDMI 2.1 or newer for up to 8k60.
Your card HDMI port is 2.0b and officially rated for 4k60, there's no guarantee which 5k videos will or won't work! Need that BT.709 for 5k60.
- The Quest uses a data link when tethered; USB3.0+
- Mobility
- Inside-out tracking vs satelite-tracking.
- Standalone or Tethered
- Does it come as a kit or need to buy more peripherals? (PIMAX)
- You pretty much have to go with LCD.
Flickering very noticeable at 60Hz and 72Hz. Less color depth than OLED.
The Reverb G2, PIMAX 5k+ and Quest 2 however all have striped RGB (less screendoor effect)
- Instead of comparing the resolutions of the displays between HMD, you have to compare PPD; Pixels Per Degree.
Higher PPD = higher pixel density. Better image quality. Simply take the horizontal pixels for 1 eye and divide it by the FOV.

Same for DP, though it works completely different. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Main_specifications
