I have a Rift-S and an RTX 2070Super and it's just fine running VAM. I LOVE the halo-style head strap. The headset itself is very light - especially when compared to a Quest 2. I tried a Quest 2 for a week with the deluxe strap, and the MOST fun I had with it was simply watching Amazon movies in Steam's Big Screen - where you are in a makeshift movie theater. It looks nice and clear. But in any games including VAM, it just wasn't as good as an experience as the Rift-S and yes, that was with the LINK cable. You also really notice the weight of it on your head/face... that got old very fast.
One major bonus with the Rift-S is the touch controllers. The batteries last a long time and you only need ONE AA battery per controller! I love that - and the tracking is very good, even with the blue/purple mood lighting I have in my room. I'm seriously considering trying a Reverb G2 because I've heard so many good things about them, but I'm afraid my 2070S graphics card won't be enough to make it an awesome experience. I might just end up getting a whole new system - i9 1100K, RTX 3090, 32GB 3200 RAM, etc, along with the G2. But I'm also considering trying the Pimax 8KX although I have none of the needed accessories - tracking boxes, Index style controllers, etc. So that route would be very expensive.
If you want my very quick answer to get a good VR headset at a very reasonable price so you can experience VAM in VR, get a Rift-S. I love mine. Could it be better? Of course - but for now, it does the job well in VAM.
