Nvidia VR Direct - news coming next month (maybe)

Hi folks,
For those of you who run SLI with the rift, you may want to keep an eye on this:

It will hopefully increase SLI performance because one GPU would be used to render for each eye.

been waiting for this since it was announced
my 980s and me I mean!

Me too - just running on one 980 so far, but I'm thinking of messing around with it again and switching on the second one in SLI. It didn't make much of a difference last time but that was during beta testing in November. Now with the new Nvidia driver and latest ED patch it might be worth doing... I'm just worried that it'll have a latency that I'll notice, but there's only one way to find out! I've just been too busy enjoying the game to mess with it too much but now that they've added extra graphics options with patch 1.1, I'm tempted to mess around with it once more.

Let's hope they come up with the SLI VR stuff soon, as I think we all feel a little duped by their marketing hype about VR SLI. This news is a positive sign for sure though.

I will laugh (as an owner of 980's) if it will be for future cards.
