SteamVR or OpenXR: Which one you are using?

[Soulmaril 1]

I am curious which renderer do you prefer and why? (i.e. OpenXR, SteamVR)

• Sim: MSFS2020
• Headset: HP Reverb G2
• Renderer: SteamVR
• Why: I get benefit from steamvr overlay functionality. (Like using Ivao Altitude in the cockpit)

using mainly reverb g2 - i get noticeably better fps with msfs using wmr openxr, than i do with steam openxr. I'm having good results with openxr dev tools motion reprojection. Though I wish wmr version had a world scale option

Oculus Rift S here, no need for SteamVR nor OpenXR (and a lot less hassle to get everything going).

doesn't oculuis have it's own version of openxr for the rift s as part of an update back in late 2020, as it does for the quests 1 and 2?  you might be running it but just not aware of it?

SteamVR with my Reverb G1 (WMR), mainly for the Overlays as WMR is rubbish in this area.

Pimax 8KX -170 FOV  SteamVR here, the Real World Scale in SteamVR  is great feature.

Using G2 with wmr openxr.  How do I switch to steam VR to check it out ?  I have it installed and I'm a little bored waiting for the July 27 update

Thanks for the link. Will give it a go but not expecting much based on other comments.

G2 and OpenXR without problems.
