Hi guys
I thought some of you might find this info useful... Especially if you haven't found disabling the monitor improves Rift performance...
I connected a new 4k monitor to my rig today using an HDMI cable and set it up to become disabled when I power on the Rift. But when I loaded up ED, the rift display was flashing and sticking and all kinds of weirdness! This was at DSR x2 and x3. At 1080p things returned to normal.
Weird right!
When I switched to the DVI connection for the monitor, the Rift was back to working normally at DSR x3.
My conclusion is that the monitor settings are still affecting Rift performance even when it is disabled. In this instance I believe that it was the monitor running at a fixed 60hz at 4k that was causing MASSIVE frame rate drops when using the rift. When the DVI connection was used, the res was set at 1080p and 75hz by default, which would explain why it started working normally again.
I could be wrong, but it may be worth taking a look at how you are connecting the monitor in relation to the rift (I.e. Which port)... Even when disabled it still caused me huge issues!
