Rift S Pixel Density

[kraszus]

So, just upgraded from CV1 to Rift S and seem to remember reading somewhere that Rift S Pixel Density doesn't need to be as high as CV1's due to it architecture. Have I misread this somewhere or it it correct? If correct, what setting would be equivalent to 1.5 PD on CV1?

Rift S has higher native resolution than Rift CV1, so technically should not need as much.

However due to the Rift S being 80 Hz rather than 90 Hz like the CV1, performance remains about the same so feel free to try what you were using before.

I run a little less than I did in CV1 myself - I am running 1.2 PD with my Rift S.

Yeah, the higher the real resolution is, the less super sampling (Pixel density) you need to make things look better. The Reverb for example runs 2048x2048/screen and generally doesn't need any real increases in super sampling to look good enough. IIRC the CV1 vs RiftS is a 20% res increase for real pixels. Plus a 33% increase in sub-pixels (which helps alot).
