Elite, Runtime 1.3 and your DK2

Do you mean a mirror window on your monitor? as I don't get one or the option for one. OR runtime shows some AMD error, but still "runs" the HUD in blur/ghosting graphics mode.
 
Scalable Link Interface (SLI) is a brand name for a multi-GPU technology developed by NVIDIA for linking two or more video cards together to produce a single output. SLI is an algorithm of parallel processing for computer graphics, meant to increase the processing power available for graphics.
 
What do you mean by 'Don't turn on Steam VR'? Even if steam VR is not running, it will still open a mirror window and cause Judder.

The process is called VRcompositor

When I click steam vr on in the steam window and get the resulting window pop open, I get really bad judder no matter what setting I use. When I dont I get no judder at all. Dont ask me why thats the case Im just relieved it is.

I'm quite disappointed by what I saw with SteamVR and 0.8. Used to play with 0.5 and I could set the DSR to 4K AND SS to 1.5 (with an Asus Matrix Platinum GTX 980ti). The image quality was far superior to what I can get now, not to mention that I'm now getting bad judder in Res whereas before everything was smooth as melted butter. I really hope tomorrow's 1.3 gives me better results but I guess I have to resign myself to a lower image quality until I get my CV1 in a couple of months...

So, I guess I can uninstall SteamVR starting tomorrow with 1.3, right ? I have the FD-launcher version and there's nothing else in my Steam catalogue I currently want to play in VR.
 
I have a question - is the refresh rate of the DK2 still tied to the refresh of your main monitor ? I have to run a crazy low resolution on my monitor in order to get 70fps on the DK2 at the moment - it would be nice if that limitation is removed.
 
How do the new black reduction settings help with smear? Seeing as direct mode doesn't take NVCP settings...?
 
Finally got Oculus 1.3, Updated Nvidia and it's really smooth but more blurry. I really miss the super detailed x1.5 in-game supersampling I had before. I'm on DK2 with 980Ti. Maybe they've optimized resolutions in the Rift for the different res'ed CV1 and it doesn't scale very well to the DK2 anymore.

Havent noticed this at all... Id try tweaking... Maybe something to do with the IPD? Mine is as clear as ever! :)
 
are you all running 1.3 with win 10? I didnt want to update to 10 as I preferred using sdk 0.5, but I suppose I may as well now.

Yes, I'm running Win 10 and 1.3, and it's as smooth as butter. Gfx set to Ultra, except shadows on high, and 4xSMAA. This is with a GTX970 (OC) and a fairly old processor (i5-3570K, OC to 4.2). I'm very impressed. The only downside is the smearing, but I can certainly live with that for now.

Also been playing around with the Oculus Store, and the first impression is very good. After years of messing with extended mode, direct mode and all that stuff, it now just works. Seamlessly. Very, very cool.

Btw, I'm using a DK2 and an Xbox wireless controller.

I thought the same, returning to the game today, after a few weeks of hiatus... wow, yust wow. Even planetary gameplay is smooth now... brightness is a bit high, but I can totally live with that.
 
Anyone able to get SLI working? I have two 980ti's I would like to use them both... But even with one card it's running smooth. Shadows at ultra and 1.5 on. But I cut off AA settings. What are some good settings you guys have found for the DK2? I'm glad I didn't sell my DK2 for crack money now!
 
WOW, this update has made the game amazing with the DK2 it is a lot sharper compared to 0.5 SDK and ATW seems to be working fine when needed.
 
Help! I've installed the 1.3 software, but Elite doesn't detect my DK2. It just displays on my monitor. What am I missing?
