UPDATES AT LAST!
Does this mean the Oculus minimum GPU requirements are satisfactory? In other words will a GTX 970 suffice or will it still need a GTX 980?
Didnt FD publish VR requirements last year November? I remember something vaguely.

Didnt FD publish VR requirements last year November? I remember something vaguely.
Their requirements were for a 980 but if it's going on the oculus store i'm assuming you'll be fine on a 970 with the gfx turned down.
If that's the case, I'd think DK2 would be fine. According to this article, DK2 works with SDK 1.0, which will allow developers without the CV1 to continue working.
Heya, our VR recommended spec hasn't changed. The post you have mentioned here is still correct.
The game works well on the Oculus recommended spec but we want to make sure that players get the best possible experience from Elite Dangerous and that's why we recommend a higher spec.
Excellent news- ED was built for VR, and I really didn't expect it to be exclusive to one type. I actually just expected a longer delay for support and maybe Vive for three months first before OR, but this means FD have covered both camps for the maximum possible take-up of earlier adopters when titles are limited- which can only be positive for new sales too. Although I've already got a DK2, I'm still looking forward to checking both OR and Vive (whichever gets delivered first...) just to see which looks better.
Well done FD!

Are any of these skins/ the bobble head exclusive to the pack? I've been on board since premium beta with a dk1/2 and have already preordered my CV1 and VIVE. I'd hate to miss out on a cool cv1 wearing bobblehead or a skin with a VR on board decal because I adopted it too early.

has been my go-to choice for demoing VR for folks even back when the DK1 was the norm. I couldn't tell you how many people bought a dk2 and the game after I demoed it for them. Or at least told me that's what they were doing. I personally know of 6.

If were talking strictly from a resolution standpoint my GTX970 can power everything on Ultra on 1440p. The worst is on planets when I drop to between 50-55fps. The DK2 has a resolution of 2160x1200 or 1080x1200 per eye meaning it technically has less resolution than true 1440p. Going off of this the 970 should be more than enough card to power the DK2 in elite dangerous.

According to Tom Forsyth from Oculus, the 1.0 SDK supports the DK2: https://twitter.com/tom_forsyth/status/679185974237106176?s=09
I'd suggest making sure the mouse works in the Galaxy Map. I navigate it just fine with my HOTAS controls, but not everyone will think of changing their navigation / movement controls from standard.
I can now stop trying to get the current version of elite working on the cv1, this is excellent news! Phew! That was a very close call.
I would like to say a big thank you to David for breaking the news and to Zac for posting it here and all the Frontier devs for all their hard work in making it happen.
I bet £530 on the rift being supported in Elite (my choice) and I would have no regrets either way, but this is truly excellent news that we'll have Elite running on day one.
See you at LaveCon with the VR ShipYard!

It will be the same as the Steam Deluxe pack. The items are already available on our store. It's a perfect pack for someone that wants to get into the game but they aren't limited to just that platform.
Hope that helps!
Looking forward to it buddy.
