DK2+970 vs CV1+1080 Comparison

drkaii · 2016-07-04T17:09:40+00:00

Obviously, the latter is a lot better, but in what ways? The scale is proper. For me at least - I have an IPD of around 62mm, and everything feels the right size finally. My body is an adult body, the stars seem at the infinite convergence, the ships feel huge, everything is right. Adds so much. The clarity fixes the scale of planets imo. The planet rendering has also changed in between my transition so hard to pinpoint it perfectly, but I will say this - with the old DK2, due to the lower resolution and the lower settings I had to use (although even if I tried higher settings it didn't fix this exact problem), the distant geometry would lose all detail so it would lose it's depth. A vast plain tapering off for miles to a distant mountain wouldn't seem so. It would seem like it could be a few hundred meters or a few million miles. Without detail, once things get beyond a certain distance, you have no idea how far they are anymore. With the CV1, especially with the debug tool and pixel density at 1.5+, I can see the texture and shape of geometry miles away, and can see distance building up as the landscape falls away before me. Really - it fixed an ultimate problem I had, and now the planets really are planet size.~ I get so much pleasure now, driving around, then getting into my ship and flying over the same terrain I was driving on, and feeling how huge it is. Never got that before. The "godrays" of the fresnal lenses aren't as big a problem as I thought. They were the first thing I noticed, but then they kinda didn't really show up anymore as the game is generally quite dark, and I turned my HUD down to compensate. The brain filters them out eventually, don't notice them anymore. The stars are still fairly big and blotchy, but with the debugtool pixel density fix at 1.5, they get smaller and "brighter" and it's a exactly like the old SS (the new SS is not the same - much more of a bit of anti-aliasing). I can see the detail of nebulae, dark regions, clouds etc. It's beautiful. The black smearing and colour banding problems I had on the DK2 with the 1.3 drivers are completely gone. I have to admit, when I first loaded up the game I got very bad colour banding, my heart sank. Then it just...stopped. Almost as if the screens needed to be warmed up and broken in. You can see colour banding when you are near the sun and everything is really dark, but it somehow feels right. No smearing at all. The added clarity makes everything perfectly readable, and the ability to use different colour schemes thanks to the new pixels is a breath of fresh air. IMO the new perfect one is the NO2O Turquoise... one in my EDProfiler tool :) The added clarity also makes the stations a lot more pleasing to look at. There is far less shimmer, they feel more natural now, not a jaggedy mess. Still some jaggies, not perfect, but much better. To me, there is no more screen door. I can, if I try, see the gaps between the pixels slightly, but I don't notice it. Then again, I barely noticed it with the DK2 so don't assume it is fine if you are particularly sensitive to it. The CV1 is lighter, and fits on your head better. The built in headphones make things very convenient. No need to have cables everywhere, just one cable for all. Some say it is more fatiguing than the DK2 and I almost agreed for a while. Then I loosened it further, and also grew more tolerant to it and now I can use it all day without a break. I do feel a little more sore and tired at the end of that session, but it is definately something you can get better at. The in built headphones are excellent quality, and combined with a bodyshaker, it's the best experience I can imagine, BAR NONE. Elite, inside a ship, it is so satisfying, the sound, the immersion, the speed, the handling, the gorgeousness of it all, the hugeness. I am in heaven. Was totally worth basically putting myself in poverty and debt to get all this equipment. I also upgraded my i5 2500K to a 3570K and that has helped too :) FYI also have an SSD install, 8GB RAM and in general a pretty rubbish PC. I'm overclocking the core of the 1080 by 135Hz and the CPU is running at 4.1GHz EDIT: I had a good exploration session last night and I've got a few more things to add to my list: I ran into my first class O supergiant since getting the CV1. The level of detail of the plasma surface literally blew me away, I was so amazed. It really hit me. I was watching DS9 with my wife on the screen while in transit, and I just started giggling and wowing and couldn't help myself. After playing for quite a few hours the CV1 became a part of me. In the end it wasn't a screen anymore, I was really there. The struts holding my front wheels were THERE. I couldn't see the pixels, I couldn't see any indication that it wasn't real. I was just in so much amazement. EDIT2: Couple more things: The field of view is smaller than the DK2, noticeably. It makes it feel more like you are wearing blinkers, or a mask, but it's not that bad. The peripheral vision is much better than the DK2. No loss in quality at all. Get your eyes in the right position relative to the lenses and you can look to the corners and see the details there 100% as clear as directly ahead.
