Lowlyslows Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Hey all, I am trying to decide between the Quest 2 and the Rift S. Everyone I have talked to about buying a headset says to get the best resolution you can afford for DCS. Everyone is telling me to get the Q2 but isn't the Rift S better in resolution? Specs from Oculus website: Quest 2 resolution: 1832x1920 Per eye Rift S resolution: 2560x1440 What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dburne Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Not sure what your specs are but for flight sims Reverb G2 is well worth a look. Rift S - outdated and not even made any longer. I would not go that route. Quest 2 - connects to PC via either a Link cable through USB or Wireless. Not necessarily what I would consider native PC-VR. Does a decent job though considering. Reverb G2 - plugs directly into display port of GPU pus USB for tracking. Excellent image clarity but requires some oomph to push it.

DarkStar79 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Reverb G2 for sure! If you have a good computer. Awesome headset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) I have the Reverb G2. Sometimes I wish I went for the Quest 2. If you want ease of use, I'd get the Quest 2. If you want very good clarity in the sweet spot at the expense of performance, get the G2. Don't buy the Rift S, I have it as well, and while it is a nice headset that works great out of the box, you will be disappointed with it's visual fidelity.

Auger Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I have and use the Rift S. While it's good for what it is, I can not recommend it considering the new headsets out there today. The screen door effect is the main reason I'm upgrading to a Q2. I was having a hard time deciding between the Q2 or the G2. In the end I decided since I already have quite a few Oculus games and I don't feel like jumping through hoops to get a headset to work, the Q2 was a better fit for me. It's plug and play, should have much better clarity than the Rift S and no screen door effect. Also, I can use it without the cable for other games (Onward, Contractors, etc) while in the living room. I wouldn't buy a Rift S unless as Tundra said, you get a massive discount. That said, I'm sure I will eventually get another PC devoted headset like the G2 in the future. From what I've read, HP has already made some major upgrades to the G2 and I'm sure it will only get better. And who knows what Steam and other VR hardware developers are going to come out with next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
