DK2 vs CV1

[Phil2008]

Hi guys yesterday I tried my mates HTC Vive and was pretty impressed, but noticed that things were still quite blocky after getting over the wow factor.

Anyway I would like to buy a headset for my racing sims mainly and I dont really need the walking around feature as I am in a wheelchair. So I am thinking about getting a 2nd hand DK2 over the CV1 to keep the cost right down. I guess what bothers me more is the blockyness, also if I get a DK2 is the res much different then the vive or the CV1 and will I be able to get most sim games running on the DK2? Thanks

So it looks like the CV1 is better then the DK2 in picture quality, I might hold off buying a headset, as I havent £300-£400 for the CV1 and I guess I will be disapointed with the DK2 if I bought one, after trying out the Vive. Thanks guys

I think the resolution on the CV1 is better. I'm getting my Oculus Rift on Monday or Tuesday and will have my brother test it (he is also on a wheelchair) and tell you what he thinks (comfort etc).

Will be intrested to know,, also I had my mate to put the Vive headset on for me, incrase I dropped it or anything. So I would like to know if you can put the sets on easliy with 1 hand as my left hand is kind of rubbish?

Thanks for that post, most appreciated, I just wish the Rift wasnt so expensive, but saying that, have any of you guys heard of the windows 10 vr thats out somtime next yr?

A resolution of 1440x1440 per eye. CPU wise the headsets will require a 4-thread mobile i5 CPU at a minimum and will require a DirectX12 compatible GPU and a lower price tag then the Rift. But its not a gaming headset, what ever that means?
