tn_prvteye Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Currently I'm running a Rift CV1...Core i7-7700 @5.0, 2070 Super, 32gb Ram, and running off an SSD. Got the PPD set @ 1.4...non-Steam version of DCS. FPS is acceptable for me (SP only), although I can't give you numbers off the top of my head. I'm worried the G2 might push my hardware past that limit. I've saved up to get one, but some of the DCS reviews have left me nervous. I'm weary about giving Facebook (Oculus) any more money, and I only ever use the headset for Flight-Sims (Il-2, with some SW: Squadrons and NMS thrown in). So professional opinions, anyone?
speed-of-heat Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 you will be able to get reasonable performance, you certainly wont need your PD up that high because the native resolution is so much higher to begin with. Many of the issues seem to come from people moving from Oculus world to WMR & SteamVR and that causes some confusion. net net you will likely get much better visual accuity natively over your CV1, i used to run DCS with reasonable perf (albiet somewhat compromised) on a 6600k and 1080ti... imagine that your performance experience will be similar.

tn_prvteye Posted December 3, 2020 Author Posted December 3, 2020 Not too worried about moving to WMR or SteamVR...I work in IT, so I get paid to solve tech issues. (Of course I say that now, so watch me pull my hair out) Thanks for the answers, gents...if I take the plunge, I'll post results to help other users on the fence. It'll still be awhile before they're in stock, obviously.

eaglecash867 Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 What's kind of fun is to use the Reverb for a while, and then go back to the CV1. You REALLY see how much things have improved then!
