Do You Need A 1080p Monitor For DK2?

I am about to order a DK2 but wanted to make sure before I ordered. I am running 2x 22" at 1680x1050 at 120hz. Now do I need a 1080p monitor to run a DK2 or does my GFX card just need to be able to output 75hz at 1080p?

And will a 680GTX be ok to run it? I am currently running a mix of high and ultra settings.

I only got mine at the weekend, but from my testing it will work best with just one monitor connected, set it to lowest resolution while you have the DK2 plugged in and switched on. That way the monitor goes back to normal red when you turn the DK2 off.

I'm not sure your card has the horsepower to run everything above low. My card certainly struggles with some high or even medium settings.

the DK2 is totally independent sp your fine no matter what your main is. A 680gtx will run it..just barely. get a second 680 if you can. I run 2x 670 power editions from MSI and run ultra in all areas of the game except RES sites. I have to set high or mid for dog fighting in RES's.

You don't need a 1080p Monitor for the Rift DK2.
Actually Im just using a small Atrix Lapdock with 1366x768 as combined primary display/keyboard/mouse for my dedicated small form factor VR box ;)

I recommend Hotas + Xbox 360 Controller for input devices.
