I know how it looks like, but is the edge clarity fine if you look at the edges in the headset or is lens warping an issue?

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:04 PM

The lenses aren't large enough for it to have warping

AAndyHill I'm using the 8kx

Fierce_FireOP•10/9/23, 1:04 PM

I see. I am keeping an eye out for crystal/12k stuff for when i have the money so assumed you were talking about that.

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:05 PM

Also, adjusting the PPD changes how close or far the lenses are from your eyes'

FFierce_Fire I heard it had great edge to edge clarity, better than pico 4

Bob Bushman•10/9/23, 1:05 PM

Pico 4 is quite disappointing, the lenses on the pro for instance is massively better.

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:05 PM

so higher PPD pushes the lenses away from your eyes

AndyHill•10/9/23, 1:05 PM

12kx will likely have similar issues

Fierce_FireOP•10/9/23, 1:06 PM

The screen isnt the best yeah, but the clarity is quite decent for the price

FFierce_Fire I know how it looks like, but is the edge clarity fine if you look at the edges...

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:06 PM

Another big factor is the version of Varjo base software you are running. A lot of visual issues that were present at HMD release have been resolved in newer versions of the software. So ideally after setting up the headset and doing a firmware update, most if not all issues should be resolved

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:06 PM

The main one you'll see people complain about is chromatic aberration

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:07 PM

And there's lots of github based tweaks that can help eliminate this

AAndyHill 12kx will likely have similar issues

Fierce_FireOP•10/9/23, 1:07 PM

Depends on if the fov will actually be similar to 8kx, as they advertised 130h for pimax but its actually around 100

JJon (Bounty_V)There's also a ton of pre-established tweaks and fixes and setting adjustment by...

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:07 PM

^ So basically most issues you might encounter with Varjo Aero have fixes, which you can find in the Varjo discord

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:11 PM

Anyway back on topic of headset x vs y,

I personally own a Valve Index, Quest 2, and pre ordered a Quest 3 for work. Having used an Aero, I'm content to stick with my Index for the time being. Perhaps Quest 3 will work well on PC and be better than Index in some ways (hello full color/depth mixed reality for flight sim cockpit), but either way with the devices at my disposal all my needs are met for the foreseeable future.

If I had $3500+ lying around and a GPU better than a 3080, I'd love to get highest end Somnium VR1, which is basically the Varjo XR-3 but cheaper. Has eye tracking, hand tracking, full color depth mixed reality passthrough, etc.

Fierce_FireOP•10/9/23, 1:13 PM

I dont know the resolution of the vr1, but 3080 might be more capable than you think. Im running pico 4 at 3120x3120 in dcs vr cause of compression (more pixels=better image) and i get ~60fps in the air, 40 on the ground with a 3090

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:13 PM

dual 2880 x 2880 screens

Fierce_FireOP•10/9/23, 1:13 PM

And I recently found out my 12600k is bottlenecking it, gpubusy was 13~15ms, actual frametime ~18 if that says anything to you

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:15 PM

They've not announced pricing yet, but its expected to be pretty expensive for highest end (possibly Apple Vision Pro pricing)

Fierce_FireOP•10/9/23, 1:15 PM

That is quite the price then

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:16 PM

Anyway, I don't have money lying around anyway, which is why Somnium is hypothetical purchase for me

Fierce_FireOP•10/9/23, 1:16 PM

Fair enough

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:18 PM

I won't be getting a new headset until after I upgrade my PC, which will probably turn into building a new PC. I'm on a 5950x right now but its broken and I have to run it on manual clocks which loses me a lot of performance I would otherwise get from having PBO etc. enabled. Works well enough for the basic stuff I do, and not much point in replacing the CPU, nor upgrading to latest since new stuff will be out soon enough. Not upgrading GPU until new Nvidia stuff is out which is probably 2 years out.

So by time new GPUs are out there will be at least 1 new generation of CPUs out I could upgrade to and build a whole new rig.

And those would need 50% supersampling on top. DFR and dlss will finally help, but to a somewhat unknown degree.

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:54 PM

? Just look at their twitter feed. Isn't even up for pre order yet. Just reservations. Isn't close enough to release yet.

Fr4Ged•10/9/23, 1:55 PM

sure but you should at least know the range of the costs before you reserve a spot imo

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:56 PM

Literally no money down. No obligation to anything.

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:57 PM

they're first and foremost a VR social platform

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:57 PM

Also, the headset itself is open source 3d printed. You can buy just the important bits from them, such as pcb, lenses etc. pre built, and print the rest yourself

Jon (Bounty_V)•10/9/23, 1:58 PM

The reservations are for fully finished kits.

blave549•10/9/23, 5:54 PM

I am runnning my apparently obsolete Reverb G2 on an RTX2060 Super, if you can believe it. Most of the time it's fine in MSFS with medium settings, and DCS is no problem (but then I don't do multiplayer much so that probably makes a difference).

Is there any channel or wiki here that contain recomended settings per dcs aircraft module ?

Once you get the FOV mod I'd say it's still pretty much one of the best. The clarity on the Reverb is just superb. I've seen some comparisons to some Pico headsets that have a higher resolution but the clarity is quite a bit worse so you don't gain anything and you'd lose some FPS

Hey m8 I can't say for sure but I haven't seen anyone asking money for the diy design plans/files, though I think ppl were working on offering diy kits to go with the motor kits from vpforce. Check out #
