You can always try recording with Fraps, it's not the best but generally it works ok, just record half size to keep sizes down.

So the fact it still does it on my just bought Geforce 980 GTX, means that it cant run the game at 75 fps. Sorry dude but that's , they need to fine tune the Oculus support for sure.
I don't see why it is .
I have a 780TI which is of similar performance to your 980 and I have to turn the graphics down a bit to ensure 75FPS all the time.
I have these adapters (as my IPD is some alienesque 71mm) and even without further softwarepatches it is noticably better. Before I could have one eye in the sweetspot, the other would be blurry, now I have both eyes closer to the sweetspots of the lenses. i have not tinkered with patching the binaries to ajust for the changed lensposition, but apparently my brain can ajust for that, as all is better now.
That's a releif. Where did you get yours from? I ordered these, and they're taking an age to get to me (will be 5 weeks all in all).

That's insane! The grafx on this game are just not that intense, I've seen other game with grafx everybit as good as these running at 100+ fps on my old 660 GTX, the only reason I bought the 980 was for this to start to run smooth and still no go. Btw, my comment was more of a response for the other guys quite adversarial opening statement "I don't care what you believe...", I apologize for that, I know better.
Perhaps it's CPU bound and not video card. The physics are insane and I don't believe they use any kind of hardware acceleration (that I'm aware of) and headtrack, at least in my minds eye, should be CPU too. The video card would have to draw the frame of view as to where your looking, but I don't see that really being much different than mouse look, so there has to be something else to it...
Like I said before, Alien Isolation runs full tilt, no tracking issues, on a 660GTX (game is modern, grafx are 100% on par with elite), but Elite wont track smooth on my new 980GTX, a $600 (US) card. I should of kept my $160 (US) card, as it did everything but Elite with Oculus fine. Hell it even ran Elite without the Oculus fine at full tilt and I would use the controller to look all over like with the Oculus. There is a lot of overhead with the OR though... Dual Screen (hits performance of video card), render the same frame twice (the stereo vision of the OR), plus the headtracking and whatever resource it's banging. I may do some Windows perfmon and see what resource are bound most, let you guys know...
Keep in mind that the game is running at 2x1920x1090 @ 75hrz It is demanding but I bet some optimizations are still to come.
I thought the Oculus only has one screen inside of it that is native 1920x1080 and that they just programmatically split the screen so that each eye really is only seeing 960x540 +/-. That is the way it works, go to Option and change the display from Second Display (Oculus) to Primary Display monitor and you'll see the programmatic splitting I'm talking about.

No, it's 960x1080 to each eye.
It renders 960×1080 per each eye
Your right, the vertical doesn't get split.
This.
At the moment, the devs are adding graphical funkiness. Performance is secondary to getting it working & not breaking other things.
Alien Isolation is a vastly different & above all released game so the comparisons with that are meaningless.
There will be a big optimisation sprint before release, and that will make a world of difference. Fair play to those throwing money at humongous graphics cards before then, but you're only future-proofing yourself... not necessarily getting the greatest Elite performance.
I agree with you Juniper (As in the routers?), but one also keep in mind that Alien Isolation doesn't officially support the OR and I would have expected it to run kind of crappy as what happened to that game is that someone messed up and merged the Oculus Demo code with the final source tree. We'll never see any updates for the OR in that game and may in fact lose it altogether in a Steam pushed update. As far as OR games go, this is the one. I just need it to run silky smooth!
DK2 has arrived, yay! Email allowing me into developer.oculusvr.com hasn't yet
I'm guessing that's the only official place to download the sdk from?

Login with your order email or just register again. There's no special code or anything to get in
Just done the register again thing. Thanks!
It is still quiet low in res if you've been used to the glories of HD and more, but it will come, not saying for CV1. We will just have to wait and see.
