347.09 Driver Question.

Ok so I rolled back to the previous driver to mess with some DSR in Elite again (Since it broke in 347.09 as well for the Rift), but I also noticed a change I didn't expect from a driver.

With 347.09, I noticed that in Extended mode, I was able to see the Desktop in the Rift, in proper 3D and fitting the Rift view area so to speak, as if I was running VR Desktop but without motion/head tracking.

Rolling back to the previous driver, I was back to having a Rift screen filling desktop that you can only see part of in both eyes.

Am I correct in that the 347.09 driver changed this as well for others?

Maybe this is part of the reason the VR implementation broke for Elite somewhat, but at the same time, is kind of cool that Nvidia is working to support VR/The Rift a bit on their own and making the desktop fully visible when you have to work in Extended mode is a helpful feature for sure.

Hmm that would be nice... (meaning without VR Desktop getting a desktop in Rift) as I had to remove VR Desktop, got random white desktop screens on the monitor (though Elite was running fine) and a blue screen of death once. Been fine since I removed it.

I mention VR Desktop, but that is not what is running. This is something I believe has been implemented at the Driver level. I am asking to see if anyone else can confirm with the new driver when they were using it (or are still using it) even with the wrench it threw into getting VR started properly in Elite.

Didn't do it for me. I had the wierd split unusable desktop with 347.09 and it didn't change when I rolled back to 344.75. The only difference was that Extended mode was totally broken in 347.09, but Direct Mode worked in ED. Badly.
