Is Vive performance best through FDs own launcher or through Steams?

Theres no difference. I have two accounts, other on Steam, other not.

Cheers Commander. I noticed that if I launch through Steam I have the option to enable ASW in steam VR settings. I read somewhere that it could increase FPS, but I thought it actually created more blurring, so I removed it again.

ASW will even out your VR experience if your 3D card isn't up to rendering the true 90 frames per second all the time... ASW will kick in and step your card down to 45fps, but generate synthetic frames in between. It does cause some colour and lines to bleed, but its generally not that notiecable to most users.

If you have a high-end card (980Ti or 1070+), you can leave it turned on, or disable via the steam switch , or by Ctrl-Numpad1 (Numlock must be on).

Cheers RR. I've got a 1080, so I'll be leaving artificial "boosting" off for the most part. I've kept in-game SS to 1.0, only bumping in-game HMD quality to 1.5 as it seemed to make things sharper (but also smaller? My in-game body/ship/surroundings seem smaller for each HMD quality bump...) Go figure. :)
