I just googled the exchange rate to Euros. That‘s still 1600 Euros. WTF? Come over to Germany…costs 1200€ new from Meta.

Keith Briscoe Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Gently used one local to me for $500... Is that a no-brainer? Any chance it will run decently on i7 9700k + 2080ti and 32gb ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom711 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 @Keith Briscoe Depends on your level of expectation. Let‘s be honest, this is not the best setup nowadays for DCS in VR. Do you already use a VR headset and just want to swap? vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'm still on the fence... Ok I set it's actually about 1200 euros directly from the Meta store.. 13 hours ago, 72Stu said: It isn't a good headset, there are better options, even the Q3 is better.

72Stu Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I have a friend who owned a Pro and moved to a Q3, his report has the Q3 as being the better headset all round. I also had a quick google to see if youtube simmers agreed, and yes, they do. The Q3 is better than the Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is possible on the QPro - not the Q3 - and can lead to *huge* GPU savings in DCS (and Pavlov, but not as much in other games where quad-views can't be used so DFR is implemented with other techinques). Personally the QPro's eye tracking latency was too high for me (I love it on the Pimax Crystal though) - but the majority of people don't seem to have a problem with it and it *really* helps with DCS framerates. Q3 is definitely a better all-round headset, QPro is probably a better DCS headset. 1 My projects: OpenKneeboard - VR and non-VR kneeboard with optional support for drawing tablets; get help HTCC - Quest hand tracking for DCS; get help If you need help with these projects, please use their 'get help' links above; I'm not able to track support requests on these forums.

sepruda Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 I'll definitely not get a Q3, hardly an upgrade from my G2. The more I read about QP compared to Varjo, the more I think I need to wait for new announcements. I will only use the headset for simming. Still hoping Varjo will announce a new headset November 27th.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72Stu Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I'm personally waiting for the Somnium to drop before moving away from my G2. I love the look of the Bigscreen Beyond but need base stations in the mix. Valve is supposed to be revealing their new offering soon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted about it a while back too. I've got them both. I would still buy the Q3 over the Pro even if the pro was the same price. Imho, for DCS where visible fine details are important, dynamic foveated rendering unfortunately cannot fix visible screen door and lack of panel resolution. Even the blacks and colours aren't hugely different between the two headsets I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the price of the Somnium will be a lot more $$$ than the Quest 3. A LOT more. But I, like you, may wait just to see how bad the damage is before I give up my G2 for a Facebook headset (Facebook/"Meta"....VOMIT, but what can you do right).

You come in with a Big sweeping statement & when some one questions why you think the Qpro is not a good head set you go on the defensive. Is it as good as a quest 3 I would not know as I have not owned one, but 26 pages regarding the QP can not be ignored so yes I would say the QP is a good headset I owned one myself it was a great for DCS.
