Yes mate. I've been VR for over two years now, and the only thing I miss from pancake is the fidelity. The immersion, even on a 1080 and Rift CV1 was a game changer, for me. Appreciate it's not for everyone. Thankfully, DCS performs spectacularly in pancake on NON-SuperMegaOC cards/room heaters. 😁

Ahh cool. I see. Nicely done! Picked up my Quest 3 yesterday as well, do you use the official link cable or a third party one? The meta one seems a touch pricey.

Why did you sell your Quest 3 mate? Thought you liked it.

Whoopsie 🙃

Golf? Why spoil a perfectly good walk

Indeed Col. It's one game I definitely don't want to play. They say buy the best card you can afford, but even now I'm finally in the position after a couple of years saving etc. to get the top card, the principle of it feels all wrong. I suppose it boils down to measuring value in these things rather than just raw cost. And that's a personal thing. I then reflect, that despite suffering with stuttering, low resolution and rapid filling of VRAM for the last couple of years, I still bloody love flying DCS in VR right now. So, the improvement I'll see with a 4070Ti SUPER & a Quest 3 would surely be worth it. Damn DCS, why can't I be into Minecraft.

Oh I don't know now; reading a lot on the OC forums, I'm now leaning back towards a 4070Ti SUPER. I could stretch to a 4090, but I can also think of plenty of other things to spend the difference on. It would still be a tangible jump for me from a 1080. Perhaps, sit at a 4070Ti SUPER until the 5090 comes out next year 😁

Hmmm, I'm reconsidering. Plenty of comments on the Overclockers forum suggesting the 4080 SUPER is only 1-3% performance gain over the 4080. Asus TUF 4080 Super going here for £1,200 ish, so I'm now sorely tempted to bite the bullet and just go for one of the Gainward or Palit 4090s which are only £400 more. Haha, listen to this madness!

Holy thread resurrection Batman! I'm close to (finally) pulling the trigger on a new graphics card and a Quest 3. Currently eagerly awaiting the release of the 4080 SUPER - any minute now, right - which after some consideration is probably the card of choice for me. Or, do I just bite the bullet and get a 4090 that'll see me for a number of years... 🤔 I can hear @fruitbat whispering "do it, doooooo iiiiiiiit" @wingflyr where are you on this now? Did you say you were holding out for the 4080 SUPER?

Brilliant Col!

Why not! Count me in sir.

But the Fokker DXXI FT!

And another Mustang, Miss Helen

Early bird tickets at £38/day + £10 per car if choosing premium parking (closer to the showground) is very good value these days. I've booked the whole weekend, the lineup already looks like a corker and it's only 11th January!

I have a twin room booked. Looking forward to this!

BluBear reporting for duty, Mosquito VI pilot, preferably in a wingman role. Looking forward to this again!

Brilliant Col! Definitely up for this.

Thanks Col, appreciate what you're doing! See you tonight
