All The Way!

Well I guess I am waiting, because the 7900xtx I was looking at went up $60 as soon as the 5080 reviews went up as Amazon sold out. The 7900xtx went up in price pretty much across the board an hour after I started this thread.

To be clear, I am concerned about the specific use case of DCS VR at 3000x3000 per eye. I don't care about any other game performance. Do you still think the 5080 will be a better performer than 7900xtx? I kind of agree that it's probably very close or in Nvidia favor due to the driver and frame generation tech that Nvidia has. I was a 'never AMD' for VR guy until last month when I tried my rx6800. Also the cost is 850-950 for amd and 1000-1200 for 5080. I'd like to buy today or tomorrow on AMD if that's what I decide as the supply is drying up.

For the last 2 years I have played DCS on 4090/Vive Pro 2. I recently sold my 4090 before the reviews intending on moving to 5090/Pimax Super. After the 5090 reviews I think there is no way it is going to be able to push the Pimax Super to frame rates that justify the $4000 USD investment. As a stopgap card I bought an RX 6800, and it plays 3000x3000 per eye at 45 fps on multiplayer with no AA or FSR enabled. I have been impressed with the rx6800. There is some kind of frame jittering issue (don't know the technical term) which is cleaned up in DCS and IL2 by opening and closing the map or a menu. I think I have decided on keeping my Vive Pro 2. I am deciding between a 7900xtx for the vram or 5080. I am asking this here because I have little experience with AMD VR. I do not think I want to buy 5090 as I don't think it is worth it for my use case. Any thoughts on 5080 vs 7900xtx?

Yes, this is the module I am hoping for as well.

Can you check your DM's from me please? I have a question. Thanks

Hello. I recently started playing around with the MT client to hopefully pick up some performance. It does perform better but the IPD is different or something, my eyes have trouble focusing. I change the IPD to wider and it seems to help but when i take the headset off my eyes hurt and I seem to be crosseyed. Legacy client works fine and behaves as expected. Does anyone else have this issue? Vive Pro 2 Standalone open beta

Sorry for getting back here late. After some help from the HOGGIT community, I found the last line was my Bluetooth keyboard disconnecting or going into power savings. I changed it to wireless mode and it fixed my issues. Paganus you were correct.

I decided to try to return to DCS after an absence. I have been experiencing game freezes. Mostly when trying to fly an instant action. Game typically freezes within 5 minutes. I installed the latest Nvidia driver and if anything it has gotten worse. I just had 2 freezes in the graphics menu not even loading in to a mission. Attached is my log. Please let me know if there are any other things needed. The only thing I can suspect is USB issues. The other WW2 flight sim runs flawlessly on this hardware. Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Pro/11600K Stock clocks running cool. 32 GB Ram RTX 3090 HTC Vive Pro 2 dcs.log

Yeah I like that path. I think it will sell quickly and the new owner will be happy. Do you have a microcenter nearby? My closest one actually has some GPU's in stock.

I am sorry. I thought I replied that I meant tempered glass. Excellent choice though. I'd still try to find something to put in it, enough to play fortnite or something to help it sell but I know that is easier said than done. The case is also a good idea in my mind because if someone bought it as is and then transplant it right away they may break something or mess something up and try to bring it back on you. Sometimes I think it is worth it to lose a slight amount with a lower risk of return by the buyer by selling a better quality product.

If I were you I would get a good looking case with TG and rgb fans and transplant it. Also I would look for a gtx 970 or other 4gb card locally as they are not as good for mining I hear. The case you have I think you can sell for $40ish locally to someone for a retro build or something cause it is a really cool case but couldn't be farther from matching the hardware you have in it in my opinion. When selling locally to the average person aesthetics will matter more than anything else. It should also have a basic functionality as a gaming pc. Otherwise if you can't get an older gpu for in it at a decent price I would part it out. Something like this $49 https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811353193

I don't know what the number would be but a new even lower end case would help it a lot on the local market

Looking for a VKB Black box, preferably in US to save shipping.

It took 7 days to eastern US. I believe I got lucky because I just waited almost 70 days for a Blackhog and there were no tracking updates on it ever.

I received mine yesterday and was much heavier than I expected. Simply amazing looking. Well worth the wait!! Thank you.

I realize the list is long but I would like to get in line to purchase one. Thanks
