DK2 on a low end system

[Cmdr Snaz]

So I saw a DK2 for £100, and bought it, thing is I only have a gtx 950 and an i3 4130, it plays in ultra at 1080p on the monitor. Have I wasted my money or will it play ED at lowish resolution?

It's not the resolution, it's the FPS that matters in VR.

You have nothing to lose by trying it out Some tweakage may be necessary - make sure you get the latest drivers for everything in your system, shut off absolutely everything you don't need in the background as your CPU is on the weak side, and GPU is slower than the 960 I had "acceptable" results on. It wasn't great - but back in those days VR worked great one week and broke itself in half the next with Update Whatever.

Cheers, well if I have to swap for a 1060 or 970 I'll just have to do all the cooking for next few months!

I did something similar. The big crack was to switch in game supersampling to 0.65 and HMD quality to 2.0 in the FD settings. Try that.

Should be fine, Asynchronous Spacewarp will kick in when you cant hit the DK2 75fps render target.

Bottom line you should get a solid VR experience.
