Maxed out settings + supersampling on the Rift with a single GPU are currently not possible (not even a 980). I have a 970 myself and there's NO WAY I can get 1440p + max settings @75fps with it, unless I dial the oculus quality slider way down (which does the exact opposite of supersampling, so its pointless). For supersampling you will almost certainly need a SLI setup. That is also the conlusion many other Rift owners have come to here:

Of course you CAN run maxed out settings + supersampling on the Rift with one 970 technically, but it WILL judder. Could even be playable in open space, but stations and asteroid fields will be quite bad...

Agreed - I have 2 x 970s - max settings and supersampled.
Booted up last night, updated, went into the game and was horrified by the jerkiness etc in space station - bl00dy awful.
Thought the game was broken with the new release, exited out and then spotted that SLI was disabled - duh!!
Re-enabled SLI, started game and then back to silky smooth graphics.
Nosh
you need a demon of a rig to run with supersampling, i think its not worth using as the hit in performance is just not worth it, i have a 780ti AMP edition and i keep my rez at 1920x1080 whilst using the hud color change tweak to cyan or green to better read the txt (which is an amazing tweak and solved all my problems)
now i can run with all settings maxed out anywhere in the system and keep a constant 75fps 99% of the time, in stations it might drop to 70fps but not for long, it tends to flicker between 70-75 fps.
try it out see for yourselves... https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=73419
unless you have a dream system capable of running supersampling on high settings, i wouldnt bother even trying to supersample, unless you dont mind playing at a lower fps than 75

indeed. I was toying with the idea of setting up supersampling, then last night I got in a (really cool) furball around an imperial battleship.
It was proper kicking off, and was actually the closest I have ever seen to the action packed official trialer, but my framerate suffered. It was just about ok, but was on the edge!.
but on the bright side, I have something to look forward to when I upgrade my PC in maybe 18months if I go for a high end Broadwell or skylake PC with SLI
on the down side it is clear to me that unless oculus pull something out of the bag, my PC even with a heavily overclocked GTX980 is some way off being Rift CV1 capable.

Thought I'd give this another shot, but no avail.
Whenever I do this, I just get double screens to one eye ball, really strange. Goes to the right, left eye is just black. I'm pretty used to the bad text, I can read most everything at first glance, but have been curious to try this. Using a gtx 980.

I am running a 970 gtx ftw model on an asus z97 maximus VII ranger motherboard with I7-4790K 4.0 ghz 8mb smart cache chip..... 16 g RAM. I love the graphic improvement this gives the game, but it increases my judder in stations and even busy systems too much. Is there a way to improve my performance without altering my settings (currently at ultra) ? Will adding another gtx 970 do the trick? It cant be more RAM, system says I am only using about 30% of what I have.

Are you definitely running the latest run-time for the RIFT, which video card driver version are you using? Disable any overlay software like MSI Afterburner, EVGA precision and test.
You should have the version as per this screenshot.

I've got a single GTX 970 and don't seem to have any issues with 1440p, most things set to Medium or High. I'll pull my settings off but it's been running pretty well!
Are you sure ? For me I can't have 75 FPS all the time with my GTX 970 with everything set to low and no DSR.
What is your config ? How many FPS do you have in station and in a ressource extraction zone ?
To me the biggest issue is the crawling aliasing in the game. Most apparent when you slightly tilt your head when in station, but always present. It looks like an army of ants running along lines.
You can see this effect also on the HUD, which makes it very hard to read except when you keep swinging your head around. At first I thought this was due to the pentile display of the Rift, but when I duplicated the display on my monitor I saw the exact same effect.
Let's be real here, DSR is a nice brute-force workaround for aliasing problems that exist in the game, if you have the money for SLI. The solution would be to have better anti-aliasing.

Same version of OR runtime, and I am running 347.09 driver.
I've never enabled any of those, are they enabled by default? (MSI afterburner and evga precision)
Ahh.. there is your problem. 347.09 is broken with regards to the Rift (note the sticky post at the top of this forum). You need to downgrade the driver.
Oh, interesting. Works great without trying to downsample. I will downgrade and try this again though. Hope it works
Edit: Yep that did it, and fixed some other lagging issues I was having. Hadn't noticed that sticky. Thanks!
