Quest Pro or Quest 3 with 6900xt

[Grippen80]

Hi,

Currently I play with G2 but I plan to upgrade to a pancake headset. 

Not possible for me to upgrade GPU and headset for the moment.

My specs are : ryzen 7 5800 - 6900 xt - 32 Go RAM - SSD

With these specs, do you think possible to have decent performances with Quest 3 or Quest Pro ?

Is there someone with similar specs to share his experience ?

The price of Pimax Crystal is a no go for me.

Thanks

Hi @Grippen80,

I got my Quest 3 this tuesday not having big expectations. I also have the 6900XT, but with 5800X3D and 64gb ram, which I think should not be the big difference.

In a nutshell: Performance is OK, in theory. There are two problems for me:

1. Refresh Rate: There are 72Hz, 80Hz and 90Hz available. with 72 I have sometimes 72, but also often 36. However, even having 72, when moving the head, I get ugly delays of showing, als if FPS drops. Hard to describe. I think it's also due to either PC performance to USB, or just general "link" loss.

2. Connection: As you can only connect via Oculus (cable) Link, the image is not quite as perfect as with DP or HDMI. I have the impression that it's a bit blurry. In the way that it's getting more blurry when using Air Link.
But the bigger issues is the stutter on fast movements. Even with FSR and stable72FPS, flying low and looking to ground is very very unpleasant. But with the hint that I do not know whether the connectiontype USB, the computer or the headset is the limiting factor.

Conclusion

Performance should be OK also on your side.
I guess beside of Helicopter and from time to time WW2, I will not use it for DCS. So I will hope for software updates, and do all the other cool things with this device

Regards

 

EDIT: I have a Typ C USB port on my video card which I did not consider. I now ordered a typc-typc usb cable to check if performance gets better. will keep you upto date

              I have the 6950xt I dont know how much of a jump that is from the 6900xt but I just upgraded to a Quest pro a few weeks ago.  I'm happy very with the performance I'm getting with visuals and smoothness of play.  I also use the oculus debug tool to tweak my link setting and openxr toolkit for CAS upscaling and adjusting the colors of dcs. Both are real easy to set up and it makes a big difference in my opinion in how well DCS runs and looks. Also with the Pro you have the eyetracking

Is asw working for you?
I would like to switch to team red...but last year I had to return a 6900xt because of drivers and reprojection not working

I'm not to tech savvy but I believe so  On the 4ya Syria server on the ground depending if I'm running 72 or 90  fps will be half. Once air born pops right back up but its very smooth
