Hey everyone,   As mentioned earlier, I had an HP Reverb loaner coming this week and it arrived yesterday. Wow! This is truly a banner year for VR and the Reverb is a huge part of that. I can’t and w

I tried - (a) very bright light(s) 100W - , but I ended up with moderate lights (3) shining away bouncing the walls 210°, works better.

I had tracking problems recently and that trick helped me. A lot.   I had no changes in the rooms lighting or furnishing. I had quite much lights, always on when gaming. I did not use room boundari

Glad i didnt get around to cancelling my order. At a guess the minor issue might have been the mura.

Very nice screenshot comparison against the Oculus headsets. When it comes to image clarity the HP easily takes the cake, still not as good as a PC monitor but quite close. The HP screen would've looked more impressive if they had zoomed in a bit to equalize the size of the texts. The Rift screenshot is pretty much spot on, what I typically see with my Rift when trying to read texts at a distance which is meh at best. The Rift S actually doesn't look too bad and seems to be quite a step up from the Rift in terms of clarity.

If the Reverb wasn't a thing I would be snapping up the Rift S for sure right now. But yeah, Reverb really looks like the way forwards. Also, I checked my task monitoring during a mission on the Persian Gulf with the Rift (textures on high), and was pleased to see none of my CPU cores maxed out at any point, so with the upcoming performance improvement to DCS (2 weeks), I'm confident it will remain playable with the Reverb without needing a big hardware upgrade.

 

I'm probably still going to have a massive upgrade anyway though, tbh ¬_¬

Hi Sohei,

 

Not doubting you, just wondering what your source is on the two weeks time frame?

 

Cheers.

Sorry, you need to check GPU performance. Just set pixel density to 2.0 and check performance.

2 weeks is the standard joke/fake release date in DCS. It means he doesn't know.

Yeah I've checked it with PD set to 2.0. GPU peaked around 80% but most of the time it was around 50%

It's a decent rig but nothing earth shattering tbh.

 

Asus GTX 1080ti

i7 47something something CPU

32Gb RAM (it's red, so probably quite fast).

Asus gaming motherboard of some description.

 

I should stress I was only measuring the performance when doing dogfights out over the unpopulated areas of the Persian Gulf. I'll do some more testing when I have time.

Imagine if Rift S with a minor increase of resolution and full RGB display binging that much clarity how much Reverb will bring it than with much more pixels.

Rift S prove how software IPD is not that much of the problem or issue at all.

Tracking in DCS should be the same, no much benefit from additional cameras in DCS usage.

Reverb should have much better picture even under 1.0 PD so the effect on the hardware shouldn't be much higher. I'm expecting from Reverb to be the first HMD to run well on native resolution.

Optics is the same but FOV will be noticeably higher on Reverb.

Price is 200$ more but after all value per $ could go in favor of Reverb as well.

Thats pretty much my thinking, at least for DCS/sims.
