desertowl Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hello all, A repost from pc hardware forum, maybe this is a more suited forum. I have a 24" 60Hz screen with a 1080ti gpu. I cannot decide between current gen VR or quality 27" 144Hz monitor. What say you? If there is simeone here who has both and can provide inside information on what's more useful, it would be great. 10x in advance for the advice!

raptorman0 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 27" 144Hz or Oculus rift - What will it be? Well due to VR I swapped out three 26" monitors and trackIR to a single 34" and use my Rift for sims. I tried to go back a few days ago due to needing to follow a complicated tutorial on paper but it just doesn't do it for me anymore. The feeling of being there is amazing in VR.

Rudel_chw Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I have an Oculus Rift since a couple of months and its really much more realistic than a regular monitor plus headtracking, in fact its much easier to fly as you can judge altitude and depth much better. My GPU is on the minimum for VR, I have to reduce shadows and effects to the minimun in order to keep 45fps for smooth tracking ... but with your graphics card I'm sure you will be able to do much better than me :) Keep the monitor for when you want to use the Mission Editor or need to take notes, but for flying the Oculus is much much enjoyable.

desertowl Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thanks for the comments, my biggest concerns are that a new VR device release is imminent, and the other is spotting and gauges readability (I fly mostly wwii). However, the consensus in the forum is quite reassuring :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knives Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I feel there is a new Gen of VR coming very soon. I would wait tell Nov. Sent from my H8266 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertowl Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 frod - Yep, Zoom works in VR. Hey javelina1, from your specs I see you invested a lot in hardware such as screens and MFDs, are you still using those or fly with the rift most of the time?

Mr_sukebe Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 frod - Yep, Zoom works in VR. To clarify that a little more, yes there is a zoom in VR, however it's only something like x2, not the ridiculous telescope that is available when using a monitor.

Thick8 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Went from 3 40” TVs, a touchscreen gauge/Helios monitor, and head tracking to a Samsung Odyssey. No comparison. I wouldn’t recommend the lower resolution of the Rift or Vive though if you want to be able to spot bogies and read the gauges.

M1Combat Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Don't get the rift... It's old. Get the Samsung odyssey. Also... to directly answer the question :)... I have a 60Hz 40" 4K that does 14ms and I have a Vive. I don't use the 40" 4K for any cockpit sim at all.

raptorman0 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Really don't want to get into a mine is better than yours situation but try before you buy. Personally with my fat head I find the oculus rift a lot more comfortable than the Samsung odyssey. Also as I use separate headset the removable headphones was useful.

desertowl Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Thank you all for your input. I ended up buying the rift, knowing that in a year's time or so, I would purchase the next gen (and probably upgrade my gpu with it...). See you in the skies!

I came into this thread late, but have a 27" 144 hz 1440 monitor. Got that before the Oculus Rift. I think you will enjoy the VR a lot. One thing that I truly believe is that at this stage of VR it will be VERY individual taste. I like the resolution of the monitor, but the emersion of the VR is hard to beat. BTW, if a game has VR, I do VR. ---------------- AKA_Clutter Win 10 Pro, Intel i7 8700k @4.6 GHz, EVGA RTX 3080 FTW, Ultra 64 GB G.Skill DDR4 3600 RAM, Acer 27" flat screen, Oculus Rift S, HP Reverb G2, CH Fighterstick, Pro Throttle and Pro Rudder Pedals HOTAS, TM Warthog HOTAS, MFG Rudder Pedals, TrackIR 5 Pro w/Vector Expansion, PointCTRL.
