I cured (quite a lot of) my Rift stuttering!

What the title says. I have a relatively high end (albeit not "recommended spec") spec rig, and no matter what I did I could not get HMD Quality over 1.00 without introducing massive stutter/ghosting.

TL;DR - switch off "Use NVIDIA settings" under Adjust Desktop Colour Settings, and you may find a significant upturn in frame rate. Sounds stupid, worked for me.

I had tried overclocking, underclocking, tweaking in game quality settings, Oculus Debug tool settings, registry tweaks, checking for CPU parking, and only last night found a mention of someone trying the colour setting thing, and it actually worked.....

My lengthy (boring!) write-up is here:

Hope it helps someone else :)

Got no stutter on my GTX1070, but checked anyway. The setting was already "application controlled", definitely didn't change it (PC is rather new). Must be the driver preset. Interesting, though.

I may have to hang my head in some shame, as today it's a bit jerky again, but not as bad as it was. If I hit external view in a station and fly about while looking around, I get stutter, but every 3 seconds, like clockwork. Bloody thing...

Playing Dreamdeck or other stuff I get stacks of positive headroom and no latency, but Elite doesn't half wind it up!

OT: I have been using the internet since the early 90's, starting off on the Unix mainframes at Uni, and the other week is the first time I heard "litte 'r' me". Apparently it was coined all the way back then..

So yeah, it's entirely possible to miss out on certain bits of net-slang.


As for the OP: Thanks for the write-up and heads-up. I'm sure it'll be of use to some people.
I just checked, and mine is set to "Other applications control color [sic] settings" - not sure whether or not I ever changed this or if was the default.

We all get that stutter here and there, sometimes it seems better but that is probably due more to the fact of other variables aside from your pc, like what traffic is in the area, which system or station you are in, how busy frontier servers are at that time of the day etc....

There's also a windows setting called "night light" that changes the color profile to less blue after a certain time. Hear it can cause bad vr stutter when it kicks in too.
