has anyone with a reverb scored a new 3080? what are your frames like compared to say a 2080ti?

yeah, I've just sold my 2080Ti and found I had to lower a lot of settings in VR. I'm wondering if a 3080 is enough for a settings bump or I should look towards jumping on a 3090 next week.
I really doubt you're CPU limited with a 2080ti and a Reverb. I didn't notice any change of FPS going from a 5 year old i7 4-core to new i9-10 core with Elite.
It is just sometimes CPU bound for me, but it will depend on settings. Im measuring CPU and GPU frametimes with fpsvr, so not sure how accurate it is. ED doesnt scale well with multiple cores, so 4 cores are fine.
Elite has some odd issues.
For one I tend to hit ASW in the rift far more when playing in open\PG than solo, if you are in a wing you also take a frame rate hit, one you really can't get back with settings either so...
I did however see a very substantial reduction in frametimes when upgrading from an i7 4790K, and moving to an i7 8700k with DDR 4, it was actually as substantial as moving from a 980ti to a 1080ti earlier.

My HOTAS 4 works perfectly in the normal game but when I go to HP reverb VR the hat and fire triggers won't work so I can't select the game in the main menus. Anyone have any suggestions please? I uninstalled the drivers and re-installed them but it made no difference.
The general opinon has always been that ED scales really well with cores/threads, and that VR needs more threads than 2D, consensus till now has been 6+.
Relevent thread with benchmarking links:
6 cores or more
Does anyone have any actual data on core loads for Elite: Dangerous in VR with 6 or more cores? I've got a 6600k @4.2, and running HWiNFO64 I see max load on all 4 cores while parked in the station. So I was wondering if Elite: Dangerous actually utilises 6 or more cores efficiently. Please...
Also, it's worth taking a look at this thread of Morbad's. The tweaks he suggested made a big difference to the performance I could eke out of my setup, and there's a specific CPU setting for the number of cores/threads available.
Hardware & Technical - Some provisional tweaks for better performance vs. IQ in Elite: Dangerous on higher-end setups
ED's default graphics settings and Ultra preset are pretty solid, for the most part, but there is definitely still room for improvement. In particular, I find that the lighting relies too much on bloom instead of tonemapping; there are too many instances of 'Peter Panning' shadows; texture...

Finally, when I look at my own CPU while the game is running VR I see a good balancing across all cores/threads (8/16)
If there's good evidence otherwise I'd be keen to know.
If it hasn't changed ED can only use 3 game controller devices at a time, are both Reverb controllers on?
Might be worth trying to rebind the controls while in VR, even if it's just to test that the hats/triggers can be seen?
Finally, HMD's have a significant USB power draw and I used to have some issues with the HOTAS/HMD not getting enough power until I put the HOTAS through a powered USB hub.
Also disable USB power saving in SteamVR.
Hope that's helpful.
I have never used the reverb controllers.
I can't do anything in vr
I have the hotas on a USB 3 port, I'll order a powered just in case.
I'll disable USB power saving now.
Many thanks for the advice. I'll let you know what works or not.
I can't see an option to disable USB power saving in steam vr settings. This is all I get in this screenshot.

It's under Developer \ Developer Settings, not the main Settings.
You should be able to use the mouse/kb to navigate the ED menus to check if the hotas is being recognised under a new custom bindings.
Mouse and kb should work by default, if they don't make sure ED's own mirror view window is selected, not the WMR (or SteamVR one.)
No USB setting in that menu. I have no idea what you mean when you say "ED's own mirror view window is selected, not the WMR (or SteamVR one.)" lol
How would I find this out?
Thanks again for your help.
NB I have a new m2 drive coming today and a powered USB. I'm going to install ED and steam on the new drive with nothing else and see what happens.

I think I have found the problem. For some reason whenever I start ED in Steam vr the screen resolution in ED changes itself to 800 x 600 windowed. When I change it to 4096 x 2160 and full screen the hotas works fine.
My next problem is how to get a keyboard on the headset so I can type into the galaxy map and how to access eddb or any other web page. I can't seem to find any answers on Google. How do you guys do it please?

I'm not sure what you mean by
I just make sure it's the focus on the desktop.
Is that a setting in ED?
Does anyone have a solution to typing in the galaxy map when in vr?
Is there a way to get to eddb when in vr playing ED?
I am happy to pay for a solution if this requires some additional software.
Is there a thread to help with this?
I bought the HP Reverb for the sole purpose of playing ED. I played the original Elite back in the day and loved it.
I should add I use Voice Attack with 6 voices just in case it makes any difference.
Big thanks to sgurr for the advice, much appreciated from an older, less IT competent commander
