Why are you giving up?! When I tested the rift it was terrible in the first 3-4 days then slowly the motion sickness has become a memory....

Yeah, stick with it. The time needed to adapt varies between different people (just like different people do/don't get seasick or carsick until they get used to the motion) but it's well worth it.

Yeah i know. I have had a rift as well. Same feeling. I want to go back to triples.

When I was a kid I use to get sick reading whilst travelling in a car, I persisted and now no issues. With VR not experienced any issues, you need to train your body. Shame you are selling it, VR is the future for me.

I'm begging you to re-consider

How does the Odyssey cope with sub-90 framerates? Is there an equivalent of ASW employed, or must native 90fps be achieved for a smooth experience?

ARG1980 · Aug 23, 2018

I have a gtx 1080 OC, and I have 90 frames all the time - thats all I can say

If you crank all settings up to max and run massive grids during a rainy night... what happens?

ARG1980 · Aug 23, 2018

Aha no idea

If you are interested I will try it out - let me know what numbers you are looking for?

I'm just curious as to what happens below 90fps native. ASW on the Rift does a good job of keeping things smooth, but I'm not sure whether the Odyssey has equivalent tech.

It seems like a great HMD for sim racing and with the Odyssey+ coming soon I'm wondering if it will finally be available in Europe.

WMR has it's own verison, motion reprojection. I have an Odyssey and it's great for racing. Better res than Rift and inside out tracking is perfect for sit down experiences (in my experience)

Microsoft have implemented a ton of updates over the last few months that have been amazing for racing games, especially for project cars 2. Windows Mixed Reality has an option called Motion Reprojection which is their equivalent of the Rift's ASW. It can be a little complicated to get right, but when it is, it's amazing.

For racing, the Odyssey is now the number one VR option (Same res as the Vive Pro but with better lenses and no need for tracking base stations). It can be delivered (including tax) for £415 from Amazon.com who now let it ship to the UK (was U.S. only previously).
