Direct Mode lag and pausing

Direct Mode seems to work for me since Gamma. But...

I get lag and pauses every 10 seconds or so. Not sure if is performance related to the fact that mirroring seems forced onto my primary monitor.

Can we have a menu option to disable mirroring?

Is there another (editing the config) solution to this?

I've got to check it again. During the last phase of beta direct mode worked for me even with the right refresh rate, but I got uncontrollable, very frequent small jumps in head tracking, that were effectively almost identical to judder caused (or made worse) by framerate problems - but it actually was a different problem.

Direct mode is working very well for me beside the current right eye problem since the gamma update. I get much less judder, if any even in stations. I do get a small amount of what people describe with the image bluring slightly if you move your head quickly. But, I think it seems to be just a lesser example of judder to me and way better in comparison to the bad judder I used to get even with extended.

To be honest, I have had better luck with direct also in iRacing where a lot of users complain that it isn't working for them there either. For some reason my system seems to like direct and the card even runs about 10-15c cooler even after long sessions compared to extended mode or just playing on a monitor in 2d. For reference, I am running an FX-8350 and a single HD7970.

Direct also seems to handle switch program focus better. I can lift my DK2 to see the monitor, click on the browser to check slopeys tool and the screen doesn't have to flicker off/on to change focus. Very nice!
