Rift or Vive

Colin Bailey · 29 Apr 2018 at 10:33

Hi all,

Built a new rig with the help of people here, 8700 plus 1080ti.

Now fancy VR for SIM racing. I play PS4 GT sport and psvr but since getting Assetto and iracing on pc, I can't seem to enjoy PS4 in the same way.

Which vr would you get for sim racing? I notice the Vive pro but not sure it's worth the premium.

Cheers all

I'd be inclined to say the Rift as it doesn't carry the cost of the Vive having the extra sensors for more movement in room-scale games etc.

Appreciate that.

I think rift maybe the way as it's cheaper to start with so when it's ultimately superseded, at least I minimised my losses

Does the rift kit on here for 399 have evryeveryt I need to connect and use for sim racing or do I need sensors and things?

Hmmm, good call on the psvr bodge...goes to check

Well it looks like PSVR will connect with TRINUS. Testing now.

@hyperseven, psvr only bloody does work. Some ******* about with drivers but it's all good. I expect it's ropier than rift but I'm used to psvr res.

Loving iracing even more. Fantastic. Cheers all, I'll wait until VR v2 appears and slum it with psvr in the meantime I think. Trinus is your fix for any people in my position. Cheers again.

As above, I've now got psvr working on the pc but on that theme, has anyone compared psvr to rift? Is there much resolution difference?

Yep, everything you need...saying that you'll need a controller of some description (I personally use a XBOX One controller for racing, but anything you can connect to the PC will work) I've got Project Racing 2 and it's excellent in VR)

Is Rift better than PSVR?

Colin Bailey · 30 Apr 2018 at 13:57

Thanks ssmacc. I fully understand. My situation is a little different as using guidance on here, I've been able to cobble my PSVR to the PC so I can play Assetto through the Sony PS HMD. I wondered if the Rift would look much different.

I've used both and yea the Rift is quite a bit better. The picture is a lot clearer and the controllers are WAY better. E.g. you find you can read small text on the Rift which was just a blurry mess on the PSVR.

Though the PSVR does have a bit less distortion from the lenses (godrays etc).

Sold! Cheers Nasher
