Rifts or quest 2


Lorenzo.D

Recommended Posts

Quest 2 is the one to pick now with lots of new games and apps in development.  Rift S is being phased out.  Quest 2 is actively being pushed by FB offering new technology such as advanced hand tracking, wireless VR, etc.  It also has higher resolution than the Rift S so may be a bit more taxing performance-wise but you can adjust rendering resolution/supersampling to compensate.

In DCS you need every pixel you can get to make out the cockpit dials without zooming in. Having a higher resolution is nothing but a benefit. Super-sampling is basically just compensating the lack of a higher resolution. On Rift S super-sampling is practically a must, because the resolution is really low. On Quest 2 it is considerably better - 40% higher i.e. double number of pixels, so you can probably get by by just using some less costly method, like 2x MSAA (no SS) and the details will still be much clearer.

 

Apart from the resolution difference, Quest 2 will in general put less load on your computers CPU. Not sure if that is a factor, as CPUs usually have plenty of cores available, but still Quest will do all the spatial tracking stuff etc. using it's internal CPU, so you can subtract that load from your computers CPU.

 

You can also use Quest 2 wirelessly ... just buy Quest 2, but add the better strap.
