Thinking on getting back to VR, is my PC capable?

[Arthur-A]

I'd been flying in VR from 2017 till 2020 in other games (had Rift CV1 and Odyssey), but I lost interest. Now, with WWII content in DCS growing, I'm thinking of getting back into VR. However, I'm a bit concerned about my PC, whether it will handle it.

Currently I have:
i5-12600K
EVGA RTX 3080 XC3
32GB RAM 32OOMHz
M.2 SSD 2TB

I'm thinking of getting an HP Reverb G2 and running DCS at the headset's native resolution, without supersampling. I'm playing in SP, mostly WWII campaigns by Reflected. Will the PC able to maintain 45 HZ with reprojection?

Thats a solid build, and it looks like you could get good enough performance. Especially with the MT version of DCS.

I can do 20-30 FPS with an I5-8600K, RX580, 32gb and SSD.

Yes with the new MT version you are easily able to reach 45 FPS. I am getting these frames easily too with my system.

Yup you should be able to happily run a G2 at decent resolution as long as you're happy to use reprojection. Note that currently WMR openxr reprojection (for the G2) currently does suffer from increased artifacting, however an upcoming runtime update should go someway to alleviate the issues

That should be very achievable.

Thanks guys! Looks like it's time to get back into VR flying
