streakeagle Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I committed to a Rift S today. I have no interest in spending $1,200 on a gpu and still have it run too slow on anything with significantly more resolution than the Rift S. I have been comparing reviews for several weeks now trying to decide how to move forward. Should I get an RTX 2080 Ti? A regular RTX 2080? A Radeon VII? Should I get an Odyssey+? Vive Pro? Pimax? Every piece of hardware out there as die hard fans that thinks it is the best and bitter critics that wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Wag's post at the top combined with some through the lens videos has convinced me that buying the Rift S is the most cost effective step for me at the moment. If I like the original Oculus Rift better than the S for any reason, then my son gets the S. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1330 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Think they charged a bunch of pre-orders yesterday, if you don't have a tracking number I don't think it's shipped yet. That's the boat I'm in currently. I have a tracking number, it is definitely enroute!

DeltaMike Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 @Strike Eagle: RE Radeon VII, I'd wait for DCS specific reviews first, NVIDIA is probably the safer bet. VII might be a winner but nobody is quite sure yet My experience is with low end systems, like the dudes I fly with. For Rift: 1070, Vega, 1080, and probably 2060 all kind of cluster together as being barely adequate. Rift S is driving more pixels, you'd have to give something up to make it work I'll bet. Maybe PD, and maybe giving up a little of that will be OK. I wouldn't count on getting MSAA and PD >1.0 with any of those cards. For the money, I think a used 1080ti is worth a look, that should be plenty. I imagine a 2080 will work (how's your experience, Don?). The marginal improvement by going from say a 1080ti to a 2080ti is pretty darn expensive, and with the number of unknowns out there (what effect will Vulkan have? What role will lens technology have in the future?) I personally find it hard to justify the expense. For a Rift S anyway. I do think the 2080ti will hold its value for a while, I get the feeling software development hasn't quite caught up with it yet, but that doesn't make me feel much better about it. Not for DCS alone, if you have other uses for it, that would be different. You just aren't going to get 80fps at high settings. Probably won't get 80fps with low settings either. Just gotta trust ASW and live with the good and the bad.

sze5003 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 There's no need for a 2080ti for the rift S. On paper the odyssey still has a higher resolution than it. I'm running an odyssey are PD 1.5 with most settings on high and I get by fine on my 1080ti. Now Reverb I think the 2080ti would help more.

Bob_Bushman Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 The S has a pd of approximately 1.2x in comparisons with the cv1. I'm running my rift at 1.4 in dcs, cause frankly anything past 1 1.3 is rather masturbatory, the panels just can't display it. In short, Just this minor bump in res, will look better than an ss/ pd of 2x. i7 8700k @ 4.7, 32GB 2900Mhz, 1080ti, CV1 Virpil MT-50\Delta, MFG Crosswind, Warthog Throttle, Virptil Mongoost-50 throttle.

eaglecash867 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I don't believe that is accurate, I am running my CV1 at 2.1 PD and it is noticeably better than at 1.5 PD. I concur. I'm running mine at 2.0 PD, and its MUCH clearer than 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5. Gauges and placards are much easier to read without zoom.

I'm just holding myself back from the purchase button until I can hear from some of you about the visual clarity and how it compares to the old rift in DCS ONLY. I don't know if I can wait XD...
