dburne Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Those Touch Controllers are awesome, I have very much enjoyed mine. Plus you get some really good Touch supported games with them, as well as the extra sensor that certainly helps overall tracking. My first love is flight sims no doubt, but I do enjoy the occasional breaks playing some Touch supported games.

pagadi-zaiet Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 wish they would do a special offer on rift only I would not rush...performance is not that great in VR. I do have a 1080ti with a 7700 oc at 4.9GHz...still not enough for 2.1 :-(. We need better and faster code, pls let the devs know!
awjudge Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 I'm pretty sure the devs are well aware... 2.1 is still in alpha. A long way to go until release. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
dogbite Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Maybe resell the touch controllers? Id go for a Rift at £300. As a heavy flight and racing guy, I didn't think I'd have much use for Touch. Boy was I wrong. I love The Climb, DOOM3 BFG, Golf Club VR, Robo Recall, Sports Bar VR (great billards), Google Earth VR, the list goes on. Any one of these alone would keep me from selling Touch. Bet ya don't. I would sell the Xbox controller for sure.

dburne Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 I would sell the Xbox controller for sure. I am with ya there, since getting the Touch controllers are don't even turn that thing on anymore. And now Touch supports X-Box control commands for those games that do not have official Touch support. I do love my Touch controllers.

R1Lawsy Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 2.0 was great performance in the rift... not sure what happened with 2.1...
dburne Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 2.0 was great performance in the rift... not sure what happened with 2.1... They introduced new tech. It is still early Alpha with new things being added in, primarily deferred shading, hopefully performance will improve here before long.

I almost wish I hadn't bought the touch controllers when they came out. Since my CV1 was free, this would have been a sweet deal to get a spare Rift along with the touch controllers.

fitness88 Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 I would recommend to new users to ease into the world of VR. Increasing your time slowly over a week or 2 will help with the queasiness.
Lucky Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Bought the Rift from Oculus on 6/18/17 for $499.00. I sent them an email hoping to take advantage of the sale price. If I have to return it then I will do that. Even if the hit me with a 15% restocking fee I'm still ahead. EDIT: Got a response from them. All it says is they will look into it and get back to me as soon as possible. I'll wait another few days and if I don't get a satisfactory response I'll return it and purchase it at the sale price.

wormeaten Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Finally Oculus come close to old prommis that CV1 will cost around 400$. Promise which Zuckerberg after he buy Oculus. With such more realistic price Rift will secure his domination in PCVR market. Today Pimax have cheep DIY solution for 6DoF proven to work. Difference between CV1 and Pimax+DIY tracking is like TrackIR and Freetrack no real noticeable difference exept little more work in setup but worth it. But now with this price Pimax only have SDE as advantage everything else goes to CV1 now. This will secure leading position untill the end of the year when some other VR with much better performance come out on market like Lenovo with dual display 1440x1440 resolution and segnificant less SDE.
dogbite Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 SDE on the CV1 is very slight and after a little use isn't really noticed.

Brewnix Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Funny I thought Oculus was dropping there price to get all the inventory out because Zenimax took them to court again. If I read it right they filed for a injunction to keep them from selling or using any equipment and software that had Zenimax's programming in it. Of coarse I am not a lawyer. Wonder what would happen if Zenimax won would they be forced to stop supporting the rift of current users? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
