My hardware was posted above, it's well above minimum. LOL My signature was my old PC. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I put the Reverb through its paces tonight and flew in DCS for about 2 hours straight...the HMD started getting hot and the screens started flickering (a fast flicker). Shutting the mission down and restarting it fixed it. I was under the impression screen flicker was dealt with in the new revision? My model was 931 directly from HP so I know it's the new one. Ugh..

Yes. I ordered mine from there. They are all new revision from there. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

My IPD is 65. The picture on the Reverb is higher resolution but the actual picture quality seems a step below the Rift S, in my opinion. That higher resoution contrasted by smaller viewing area, other image aspects and things like the heavy obtrusive cable don't justify the $250 price premium over the S. The heavy cable is just annoying..I hope they look at that in future products. They made a light headset....with a heavy cable...on one side. Beyond that, glass wearers will have a real issue with the Reverb and will probably want to purchase lens covers or contact lenses. In terms of comfort, and this is completely amd totally subjective, the Rift S seems a great deal more confortable. Pricing scheme wise, HP seems to be putting all of their eggs in the resolution basket and that is unfortunate. I'm going to keep the S and see what Acer has up their sleeve in the coming months with the ConceptD. Hopefully it still comes to fruition :) Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

The resolution in the center of your viewing area is better (probably about a 1/2 inch circle, sweet spot). Beyond that, the image turns into a very noticable blur. It's almost like you have to look directly at something to be able to see it amd take advantage of the resolution. Keep in mind that I'm a just referring to the tiny focal spot (where the image is clear) and the blurry rest of the image....I didn't mention the fact that there is also some odd color/effect/whatever that seems to almost make the view of the world around you somewhat muddled or slightly "dirty", it's hard to describe. Although the resolution is higher, the overall image quality seems much worse (if that makes sense). Side note...the reviewers that reported, "omg* there is no SDE! It's just like a panel!", are full of it. Sorry, no other way to describe it. Lol Now, don't get me wrong, the center resolution is better, but the actual size of this higher resolution sweet spot area is very small. This was probably the biggest shock to me while using it. It's really hard to quantify just how bad the sweet spot is....other than it really is a SPOT. haha When I first tried it on and began using it I could notice the resolution difference over the Rift S, but it really wasn't something I would call a big difference...I'd actually put it more in the, "ok....a little less SDE", category. Having said that, the SDE on the Rift S I wouldn't call bad. The visible picture on the Rift S is actually quite good and noticabebly "clearer" than the CV1, imo. The difference between the Rift S clarity and the Reverb seems a lot smaller than the difference between the CV1 and the Rift S. As an aside, ignore the specs in my signature, I built a new PC this weekend before testing out both headsets against eachother (9900K/Rtx 2080 Ti/32gb RAM/ M2 Drive.

Finally got my Reverb set up and it's not worth it. The bump in resolution is not quite to the level it is hyped up to be. There are also quite a few big tradeoffs that simply make it not worth it, IMO. Packaging it back up and returning it. Going back to my Rift S....glad I didn't return it.

You could get those VR lense inserts for your Reverb. Price is usually around $70 or so. I haven't tried my Reverb yet, but I can wear glasses in my Rift S just fine with no issues. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I didn't have any issues with the FOV on the S. I'm constantly looking around though so maybe that negates the FOV. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

That could be a Bamdwidth issur. A PCI-E USB 3.0 card could help with that greatly. Inateck makes a decent one with the only downside being all of the ports share a single Bus. Startech has one with 4 ports amd each port has its own Bus. It's between $80-$90 but should meet any/all USB 3.0 needs if you are lacking in the USB Bandwidth department. Hope this helps. :) Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

If you are "over" the Reverb and don't fancy getting another, I'd check out the Rift S. It's obviously not as clear as the Reverb but outside of having to restart the Oculus application occasionally (after closing the Beta version of DCS) I haven't had any issues with it at all.......and my PC is over 10 years old. LOL I had some issues getting it installed/setup, but that's expected when you built your computer during the Paleolithic Period. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Oh cool. Whats he cost of the extra warranty? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I believe the Pro also comes with a different/better type of warranty. Additionially, the leather portion of the HMD allows for easier cleaning and will probably have a longer life. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

There is definitely beauty in simplicity. My current pc has been going like a camp for close to 10 years. The only things I've upgraded are the PSU and videocard. Lol It still playable games today at high to very high settings. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

If it can do AVX (advanced vector extensions) than it should work. Double check if it does because I'm not sure. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

With regards to what? It's probably a better option for people that may have an interest in games other than sims or slightly lower hardware specs. I have a Rift S and a Reverb but can't use my Reverb yet (my specs apparently don't meet the standard for install). The Rift S is great. It's a lot clearer than the Rift CV1 but the setup/software can be finicky for some (it was for me). The tracking is solid, and tbh, I don't really see a difference between the color/blacks with regards to the CV1 vs the S (OLED VS LED). Hope this helps a little. :) Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I have no issues with RGB! :) I'm still trying to decide which board to go with. I'm considering the Gigabyte/MSI/Asrock boards. The MSI board I mentioned above has a really limited memory compatability list for GSkill (my favorite memory brand) so I may remove that one. I'd Ike to keep the build below $3500 total.

I usually go Asus, but I think i might go with an MSI MPG Pro Carbon this time around. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I don't live anywhere near a Microcenter and the closest Frys is about a 3 hour drive. I might just build a new PC, it's been a while anyways. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Yeah it needs a processor that supports AVX/Popcnt instructions. Can anybody recommend a strong motherboard choice with great overclocking potential for a 9900K? Guess it's te for a Newegg visit. Haha Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Welp, WMR portal doesn't recognize my i7 920 @ 4+ghz as a valid processor (it checks its stock speed of 2.67 instead of what its actually running at) so I can't progress in the setup menu. Not sure what I can do here. My Rift S functioned totally fine with my hardware. :/ Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I just got mine but haven't installed it yet. The SN is 931 but the Reverb Box says Rev. A. On the side. Doesn't the new one say Rev B...or am I thinking of something else? Lol Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

No, it's the same feeling when you go down in a rollercoaster. It's that sensation in the pit of your stomach. If I had motion sickness, I would've never made it through stall and spin training during my flying lessons. lol Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

We'll use your site, the other one I found seemed janky. Lol Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

The 31st week of 2019 is Aug 4th - Aug 11th. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I was looking at that one. Might be a good option vs the others. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
