I hade hade it on Extended for a while but I launched a app and launched it on Direct HMD, forgot to switch back and launched elite. It launched in Direct HMD Access.
Is this a recent change ? bit off suprised.
Don't know if I should turn back to Extended if there is a margain better off texture quality.

I play in direct for ages. I recently switched back to Extended because I had to configure it that way to play Alien Isolation and honestly I can't tell the difference from direct to extended. Maybe its me though...

To be honest I can't tell the difference between 50 and 75 FPS either

I'm curious as well. There is a disclaimer that says that HMD is not 100% supported yet but when I tried it I didn't really see any difference. But I don't have a FPS counter going or anything like that.

Mine only works in direct mode... Extended Always refuses to work on my AMD 7800... Or I am doing something wrong obviously :p

There's a performance hit in direct mode due to the oculus drivers. Other games suffer from it as well.

I prefer direct because there's a bit less latency but my pc can't quite maintain 75 fps so I have to use extended for ED.

Actually getting more stable positional memory with the direct mode on (I.e the rift requires less position resets in game), but as it only operate at the refresh rate of the primary monitor (60hz in my case) I get more judder than when the rift is set to extended.

... Waiting on the freesync monitors to hit the market before getting one that will solve the HZ issue... ;(
