I do mostly fine, but putting my DK2 to work my main prob is ... how do you call it ... when moving my head I see multiple images as like it is in slow motion... I put it in 1280x1024, all to low, vertical sync on, all the stuff as above. So my main question is - do I need a new cpu/graph card to get it all fluent? Images are ok, just the 'flow' is not as I hoped it would be... All help is welcome!

So, I am giggling like a little school girl with how GORGEOUS the game is running the 970. There are only two trouble spots. Inside a large space station, I still get some jidder on anything higher than low settings. (yep.. even medium gives a TINY bit). And flying around an asteroid belt. Same low settings required on the card to get fluid motion. But outisde of that, I can run the rest of the game everywhere else on HIGH settings, and i get butter smooth 75fps/hz. And the quality of the image is FAR better than with the 470 with the same driver. I just can't believe how gorgeous it is.

This has me thinking though... if a single 970 has to run around low to get true 75hz... There is no way a pair of 970 or otherwise will get true fluid game play on the CV1 with a 90hz and likely 1440 display. I think I would get to run medium settings in the station and asteroid belts running SLI (just a guess... wont be running it for a while).

Any-who, I am ecstatic about how the game is playing now. It's mind blowing, seriously.

If the judder in stations and res is fairly independent of graphics settings (lower the super sampling all the way and see if it's the gfx) you could try plugging the oculus camera into a different USB port. I get almost judder free experience when I plug it into a powered hub instead of directly to mobo. Don't know why but it works!

Have fun with your 970, it's so very special when you get presence in ED. Looking forward to the cv1, I'm curious how the higher framerate will impact presence.

Btw, nice avatar you have there ;)

I also read somewhere that a powered USB port is better for the oculus. As if I didn't have enough cables behind my computer already :)

Just found than the Oculus Slider seems to be a kind of "UnderSampling" specifically made for the Rift due to the name of the option inside the graphics configuration file (C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics\Custom.fxcfg).

With one notch down for me it show:

<OculusPixelsPerDisplayPixel>0.948788</OculusPixelsPerDisplayPixel>

So top should be 1:1 I guess (and even more if using SuperSampling option). I'm setting it full right now, don't want to miss any pixel for readability, will found another settings to lower if needed! ;)
