Hey Gapper, have you tried removing the CPU OC as a test?
My previous rig was OCed and gave me poor performance in some games.
Might be worth giving it a try.
Everyone seems impressed with 1.3 performance but...

I put the CPU on "Auto" instead of best performance and it's the same. Not sure how I can remove the OC entirely though.
A silly thought and forgive me if its been mentioned already, but you have updated to the latest Nvidia vr driver haven't you? I have a 980ti and it's never been smoother or as clear, both on 0.5 and 0.8 run times.
No suggestion is silly
Yes, I have the ED-VR-specific drivers that were released a couple of days ago. The only thing that I can think of is that during 1.3 installation, the Oculus software did not "officially" detect my HMD and camera; it was stuck on the little looping symbol for minutes. I just skipped that part and the software finished installing. Oculus Home boots up normally and I can run ED no problem but maybe, just maybe, signals aren't getting from the GPU and/or camera to the HMD as smoothly as they would with a CV1. On the other hand, most people with DK2 don't have that problem so maybe it's just wishful thinking...

I'm getting a huge improvement with 1.3 over using 0.5, but then I never bothered with SS in the first place (made so little difference for me it wasn't worth keeping it on).
Have you upgraded your NVIDIA drivers? The new drivers have some specific Oculus VR tweaks apparently.
My performance (Fury X with 16.3.2 driver) is better than with previous runtimes but it's still not fine in all situations. I still get a fps decrease over time down to the 20s while in Supercruise but ATW manages to compensate this very well. Out of supercruise and planetary bases I can maintain 75 fps with VR High preset and 1.5x SS. What's strange is the performance decrease is only happening while using the DK2 and graphics settings have no effect at all. I uninstalled my old drivers using ddu and even upgraded my bios yesterday.

Those settings are only for the mirror window. The DK2 always runs Fullscreen 1920x1080 75Hz.
Interesting. Would that be perhaps a memory leak issue ?
It's like the old AMD supercruise bug but for VR only. Could be some memory leak. I will take a look this evening.
Just to compare apples to apples ,
I choose the Ultra preset, then disable AA, AO, Bloom, Blur and set SS to 1.5.
With this setting, head movement is silky smooth, but now and then, the rest of the world outside the ship gets the occasional stammer. Now and then in Supercruise, and now and then in battle amongst the asteroids. It's not judder (as in nausea), it's just that as you rotate the ship quickly, the scenery doesn't slip by silky smooth "All the time".

Yes ! You describe it perfectly. That's exactly what I experience. And I shouldn't with the system that I have. Yours seems broadly similar to mine. Strange. There seems to be no consistent factor. Some people with similar systems have flawless performance while some of us experience these symptoms.

VRHigh is actually significantly less than the Ultra preset, so it would be interesting to hear how things go when you choose Ultra. In my case, I choose Ultra, then disable AA,AO,Bloom, Blur, and set SS to 1.5.
It seems that 1.3 and ATW has eliminated the Head Turn Judder, we now have to fine turn the rest of ED performance in VR.

It's only in ED that I have these little annoyances, all the other VR apps that I have downloaded from the Oculus Store are flawless.
I wonder if others really do have totally flawless performance, or whether they aren't bothered by what you and I see. Perhaps we're being too fussy now that the head movement is so smooth. It highlights every other little glitch.

Same here, only in ED. Everything else I've tried with this system -- including demanding games in 3D Vision -- runs completely smoothly. It's possible that we're too fussy but I can't help but think back that ED ran absolutely flawlessly on 0.5, 4K DSR + 1.5 SS.
After tinkering with every possible graphics option and testing my computer with other games and several benchmarks, I can only conclude that 1.3 is not yet as good as advertised. There's no way I shouldn't be getting flawless performance with VR High settings and SS 1.5 with the system that I have. It destroys everything else I throw at it but struggles a bit with ED.
In any case, looks like I'll have to play with graphics inferior to what I was experiencing with 0.5 for a while...(sob)

This is really exciting, I was worried that the headtracking might stutter with the CV1 like it does with the DK2, where when you turn your head that's what causes juddering and frame drops. If the cockpit and headtracking is working great and there are only frame drops outside the ship that's going to be totally awesome.
I did some research this evening and my permance issue in supercruise while in VR does not seem to be a memory leak. After some time in Supercruise my Fury X downclocks to it's idle frequency and stays there until I exit supercruise. I also tried a clock blocker but it didn't help either. I have really no idea what's going on except it looks like the old supercruise issue but in VR only.
Also have these issues which was not apparent with 0.5 runtime. It's highly noticeable for me if I park right next to a station and watch it rotate, there's a hiccup or stutter every second or so. Still there when everything is set to low or off, I'm on Win 10 with the latest Nvidia drivers.
However Training Missions are butter smooth.
Tried Elite Dangerous 64 (non Horizon) same issues.
Tried Elite Dangerous 32 but keeps crashing and won't start.
All Oculus apps/games run flawless and some of them are bloody marvellous.
I run Elite via its own launcher and not through Steam and SteamVR was uninstalled before the 1.3 update.
The only other option I can think of is to completely uninstall Elite and re-install.
My system is i5-2500, GTX 970, 8 GB Ram.

Hi there, same problem with GemFX. It is affecting the mirror image in the main monitor, but not affect the HDM in DK2, Any solution??
