jwilliams417 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I gave my O+ to my son for DCS and am looking at getting another one for myself. Considering a Reverb or Rift S but am on the fence with the Reverb with my specs. I can easily hold 60+ fps on my O+ with this rig after some tweaking so I figured I would see if anyone has a similar setup and has any observations.

rrohde Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I came from the O+ as well and went straight to the Reverb. Love it. The clarity - thanks to its resolution - is stunning. And, because of said resolution, you don't have to crank up SteamVR's Super Sampling (this also helps with the performance).

speed-of-heat Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) I run mine on a 6600k and I have to make some compromises, mostly no shadow except terrain at default and no SS in game... and no mirrors in "medium and larger missions" and I get a pretty solid 45 fps and absolutely stunning clarity, my in game PD is 1, as I run at 180% in steam (which is pretty close to native resolution) Edited December 10, 2019 by speed-of-heat SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburne Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I am loving my Rift S with DCS. Image clarity in cockpit is very good and able to run some fairly high settings with my rig. I have been using the thing daily since May, and it is a real workhorse.

DthFrmAbv Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I own both the Rift S and the Reverb. If you're looking for something for DCS only, the Reverb and only the Reverb is the choice. It is far superior to the Rift S in DCS. For other games, especially those which require complex or fast movement tracking, the Rift S is the better device.

jwilliams417 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Thats for all the input guys. I pulled the trigger on a Reverb and it should be here by Monday. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyge Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I came from O+ and went for Reverb. I find that Reverb is not one bit more taxing on the performance as the O+, because I could go down in PD. Great Headset... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Nelson Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 You’ll love it! Clarity is awesome. i7700k OC to 4.8GHz with Noctua NH-U14S (fan) with AORUS RTX2080ti 11GB Waterforce. 32GDDR, Warthog HOTAS and Saitek rudders. HP Reverb.

scarface03 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Where did you buy it from? The one on HP's site is $40 more then amazon, just wondering if they are the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilliams417 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 I got mine direct from HP. It was on sale for $549. I don't see the regular one on their site anymore, only the pro edition. They had the Reverb on sale black friday for $499 but I missed that.

scarface03 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 ok cool, do you know the difference between the pro and regular? I am assuming I want the regular one for DCS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed-of-heat Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I think the difference is in the servicing model.

jwilliams417 Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Just got a chance to play around with my Reverb and coming from the O+, holy crap the clarity is amazing! The FOV is a bit smaller, but easily worth it for the clarity. I can see everything clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel101 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 And coming from oculus S, is it worth paying for a reverb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
