Waxer Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 I brought this appalling customer service on myself? Are you serious? I must remember that. Appalling customer service is my fault for giving them cash. I must manage my expectations better in the future. Straw man argument. That is not what I said. :megalol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

GladiatorDPR Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Any news on if September is still the guestimated timeframe?

TWC_SLAG Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Huh that's nowhere near fall timeframe. If that's true I would preorder since I'm not moving until the fall. So, HP’s published estimate was always true, because they would never try to surprise their customers or their competitors. Oh, wait... I don’t know if it will be next week. That is just what one person at Connection told me today. If I’m wrong, sue me.

VirusAM Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Reverb G2 - Valve Index - Rift S through the lens comparison: The index still holds m...the Rift S seems so bad in that video. But i used the rift S and the first Reverb...didn’t seem so bad to me. Anyway I don’t think i will order the reverb g2. My 1080ti is not enough to have satisfying results (it wasn’t with the reverb) so I prefer lower resolution headset.

Waxer Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 You might be able to pick a used 2080 Ti for a decent price once the 3080 Ti lands to narrow the performance gap with a G2 somewhere down the line. But I agree with you... the video makes the Rift S look fairly bad, when in fact it is fairly good in real life. But this makes me quite hopeful that given this the G2 will be really significant step up in performance for $200 extra (which in the grand scheme of things is a modest extra cost). [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I will wait to see what nvidia and amd will throw at us, and at what price. Anyway as its obvious the reverb has the highest resolution and the g2 the same, the Rift S (good quality for the price) and the Index (not good price but a lot of plus on its side) has still a lot to say. I think i took a good decision in going to the index route.

Hoirtel Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 It wasn't clear if there was any SS in that video with the oculus rift S. Probably not so it will look bad. I find it can be quite sharp, but that low res means that ultimately you lose detail inbetween the pixels. Its just not possible for it to render as cleanly. Looking forward to the G2, I just hope/wish that DCS will support WMR natively. I did see a post about the Varjo headset support.... great but too much money for most users and a bit more unexpected considering the general VR implementation and performance isn't great yet.
