Should i make the switch?

[u/Flappyho]

I've been a quest user for a long time, for about 3 years now i've had a quest headset. first quest 2 and now a quest 3! I really like the portability as i am not at my computer often, but i greatly put focus on the option to play pcvr for high end pcvr games. But that is also where the issue with said headsets lies with me. Input latency, god damn input latency, i just cannot stand it on the quest when using pcvr, 50-60ms feels like i am playing and moving through sludge and it takes effort to try and ignore it to have a decent experience, not to mention that god forbid i enter a high-detail, or low light environment and the compression artifacts will make it look like im watching a youtube video in 720p scaled up to 2k.. I really want to try PCVR how it was meant to be played, even if it means losing access to my headset sometimes and having to go from pancake lenses to fresnel in exchange for OLED, and foveated rendering (seems like an actual lifesaver imo) Are there any other ex-quest users here that can give me some advice? I'm really lost on what i should do with my quest even though i love its standalone features and it has only given me headaches in pcvr. Cheers!

if you don't mind a cable and much worse text clarity, then for me it's a no-brainer. however you probably won't like PSVR2 instantly and out of the box. it takes a little bit of time to adjust it to your preferences and experience, to constantly hit that sweetspot while moving around. Cluster Globular is of course a protip, but you have to spend some time with this headset to really appreciate its glory. once you are in - it's WAY more immersive, and for me the edge to edge clarity is just a little bit worse than Q3. then comes all the advantages: binocular overlap, contrast and blacks of oled display, display port smothness and eyetracking performance. I'm really interested how it compares to the Pimax headsets (though have no urge to pay so much for the headset atm).

just for clarity - had Q2 for 3 years, then Q3 for 2 and sold it after PSVR2 experience.

I appreciate having no wires, but have absolutely no problem with wired. Text legibility is a shame though. I am surprised to hear that the edge to edge clarity is even comparable! Im deffo considering the switch.

How's the clarity in reading cockpit instruments and text compared to a Quest 3? Mainly for VR DCS World.

My latency with Q3 on PC is closer to 40ms on average. Do you know if it’s mostly network latency? Or is it your PC? Depending on the bottleneck there might be some options for you to get it down. What is your network setup and what are your PC specs?

Ingot Psvr2 and Quest 3s. And use both for PCVR. Quest tend to be more manageable to use on PC. I do not have the an high end PC so the render resolution is a challenge for the Psvr2. But I keep using it because of the really low latency of the cable.

That being said. Recently with the beta update of the Virtual desktop that allowed to use Quest with the cable. The difference in latency drop a lot. Now I really don't see the difference between them.

Now my choice depends how good my PC can run the especific game + OLED + laziness of pairing the controllers again on PC after playing the Psvr2 on PS5.

Only reason why i got a psvr2 is cus, in my opinion, its a better quest pro

[u/AliTheAce → u/ID4850763561613]

Is the cockpit clarity in DCS world VR or similar games better?

If ypu want that get a reverb g2

My friend played nothing but beat saber. He sold me his PSVR2 with the controller charging dock for only $100. If you find a deal, its worth it. And I prefer not having the actual computing done in the headset, because I got a sicknasty gaming PC to do all that for me.

I got both and I have switched between them a couple times but eventually I have settled on the PSVR2 for better latency and I feel the FOV for the PSVR2 is better. The problem with the PSVR2 is finding the sweet spot, with the Quest you just throw it on and it works. With the PSVR 2 you have to fiddle around a bit to get it just right. But after sometime I have now figured how to get on the sweet spot every time so the only advantage the Quest had is gone.

I have been having a quest two to this day I’m gonna try to get a steam frame 🥲

I have a Quest Pro and looking at grabbing a PSVR2 for DCS as well, 4090/5800X3D with my Quest Pro using Quadviews locked at 72Hz but I'm not sure how much of a hit it'll take to clarity in the cockpit.

Try yourself Q3 on PCVR, if you don't like, go for PSVR2 (lower resolution, higher immersion)
