HP REVERB G2 THROUGH-THE-LENS

Yeah I agree with him. I am currently doing a second play through of Alyx ( in between IL-2 PWCG missions), and with my somewhat dimly lit room 

I am getting pretty darn good tracking with both the headset and controllers.  I am a few hours into it so far and have not had any major glitches.

Certainly Oculus Touch controllers are great and set a high bar, and these are not as good but certainly not too far off from them and quite playable.

Which is a relief to me as I thought I might have to stay with Rift S for games that use the controllers, and so far that has not been the case.

im still awaiting mine, hopefully to recieve it 1st week of december. just one quick question, has it affected your frame rate much?

Yeah some. I put this 3090 FTW3 Ultra in my machine two weeks ago. Then I got the Reverb G2 1 week ago.

For that first week with the 3090 playing IL-2 with the Rift S on Ultra settings I was maintaining max of 80 fps for the most part with no problem. After getting Reverb G2 in and running, I am not able to maintain 90 fps as much so I am toning settings down a little. Not too much, it still looks great, but did things like lower clouds from Ultra to High, and Shadows from Ultra to High. I changed from MSAA x 2 to FXAA x2 to help also.

 

Now I am getting 90 fps more frequently with the G2. Not always constant, but more so than not and the visuals are fantastic.

Thanks Dburne, i looking to build a new system sometime next year, though i currently use an MSI 2080 titan laptop as i travel a great deal with work. i get pretty good framerates with things dialed high so hopefully the HP wont make it unplayable...no way ill make 90 frames but to be honest 45 in the rift s for me was fine. ill keep you posted

IMHO Reverb G2 with Motion Smoothing at 45 fps is better graphic wise than Oculus ASW.

I think you will be fine.

In fact I may try forcing mine to 45 fps Motion Smoothing and see if I can increase graphics back and how it looks.

Have you differentiated where your bottleneck comes from?

 

I somehow doubt it is the (monster)card, I suspect your frametime drops are CPU induced. That card is like a strongman carrying a basket of milkbags and bagles.

Buy VRfps on Steam. It's only $5 and tell you loads on gpu and cpu in game.

No.

You will need Steam VR , and of course Steam to get Steam VR, but no need to install Steam Version of the game.

I would sure like to know how he is running at 80 fps on a 90 Hz/60 Hz device.

He "only" has 8600K (stock) / 1080TI and runs SteamVR at 50% and high settings in IL-2. I run my index at c. 10% more pixels and have about 10% less FPS...

G2 global resolution to get close to native is 50% - current bug in Steam VR for the G2.

thanks people

I found this link in the comments to that video: https://www.reddit.com/r/HPReverb/comments/jy5uu8/no_theres_no_bug_causing_steamvr_to_go_above/

 

I’m going to experiment a little more with SteamVR’s resolution. 100% is too much on Combat Box and 50% works fine on my aging GPU, but I want to reduce the shimmer more than 2x MSAA does in my Reverb G2 at 50%.

I asked how he did it, now how to do it. Of course I know how, but thanks anyway
