This is probably the best comparison your going to see between the Vive and Rift systems. Tested is probably on of the most respected review sites on the internet. https://youtu.be/EBieKwa2ID0

Interesting not many reviewers have more credibility, followed VR longer, and more time in both headsets than the Tested crew.

I've not watched all of both videos, but does he ever even try leaning in closer to the HUD / instruments to read them?

Unfortunately, leaning doesnt help for HUD(hologram) and zooming was disabled in DK2 not sure about CV1 though. @SkateZilla Would you kindly post an impression on the readability&viability of CV1 in DCS ? I'm still on the fence..

The HUD is readable, at least for the A10C. Not sharp, but at least you can use it. The feeling of being immersed in a physical cockpit is to be honest, simply stunning. Viewing distant objects is a definite weak area, limited by resolution. That means labels are a necessity until you are pretty close to the target. Despite this, the experience as a whole is (for me at least), a huge step forward from my old 32in 1080p TV and Track-IR.

I needed to upgrade to a new PC (my gaming laptop was nowhere near powerful enough to run the Rift). I ended up buying one of the Oculus Ready PC bundles. I went with this one. There is no doubt that I could have built a suitable PC for less, but these days I am pretty much a plug and play kind of guy. Performance seems good to me.

That was a very useful video SkateZilla. Thanks also for your assistance on the DCS forum where you helped me get the Rift up and running (I'm Astronut over there).

Going for an AMD GPU, I havent supported nVidia since my 8800GTS GPUs,
This year's GPUs are Placeholders for HBM2 enabled GPU's next year.

I've purchased an EVGA GTX980Ti in the hopes I will be able to take advantage of their 3 month upgrade path. It looks like the Pascal may just appear before the three month deadline expires. I haven't bought any of the cheaper AMD CPU/GPU hardware for quite sometime, simply because the NVidia hardware was working better in the sims I used. The new AMD gpu's do sound interesting, and will keep an eye on the VR benchmarks.

I'm still on the fence.. Look above your post. I might have missed your comment on the readability of HUD&MFD, viability as I skipped a video little bit. Anyway, it looks like you are doing fine in the mission(mav, gun run) with CV1. Although is Air to Ground mission still viable without turning on lables? How many stars do you give to CV1 if 10 stars are given to express your satisfaction?

Thankyou for the review! if mission is well planned(have Intel on the (rough) enemy location) do you still have problem with identifying A-G target with TGP with CV1? When you strafe A-G target with A-10C are you able to do a decent gun run without lables on?
