I would say yes. I just have a ge force 980 I OC'd some and that works well even on surface although you will get some frame drops on the surface
Oculus SDK 0.8 + Horizons 64bit + Win 7 64bit + SteamVR = Formula for success finally!

Where do you find that option?
Right clicking on "Elite Dangerous: Horizons" in my Steam library.
Is anyone successfully getting Reshade/Sweetfx working with Steamvr+win7+.8+horizons64?
Crashes for me
This might be one reason to revert to .6 apparently sweetfx makes the view in the Oculus substantially better. :\

To be honest, if it's working great with .6 and you don't play any other VR games, stick with .6 and enjoy. Unless you like mental anguish like the rest of us in the thread messing around with SteamVR and SDK 0.8 lol.
The primary reason I went to 0.8 was I wanted to play other VR games. While ED has stayed back with .5/.6, most others have moved on and support later SDK's or even require them. I could not get Project Cars to run at all unless I installed SDK 0.8. So I wanted to find a way (short of the SDK switcher util) to get ED running under 0.8 and other other helpful threads were a start but no one had consolidated "all the steps" into a single post that I could follow like a checklist.... so after wasting a good night chasing down all the threads on Reddit, here and other places, I made my own "nearly complete" list for others to follow.
Cheers!

great work Thorvald
No matter what I did I could not get SteamVR working with Oculus runtime v0.8. So I decided maybe I should do a full clean up and remove all Oculus relevant data from my computer.
Well the full clean did it, SteamVR, Oculus runtime 0.8 and ED all playing together now.
if it helps anyone the steps below are what I did to clean my computer of Oculus data.
Note: these steps will remove your Oculus user settings, meaning you will need to run the Oculus config setups again
Full clean up steps:
1. uninstall all Oculus runtime SDK
2. uninstall SteamVR
3. reboot PC
4. remove any Oculus folders under "\Program Files (x86)" and "\Program Files"
5. remove Oculus folder under %AppData%\Local
6. remove all %SystemRoot%\System32\LibOVRRT*.dll
7. remove all %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\LibOVRRT*.dll
8. remove OculusConfigUtil.lnk under %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp"
9. in Windows Registry (using regedit) remove [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Oculus VR, LLC\Oculus Runtime]
10. reboot PC
11. install Oculus runtime SDK 0.8.0.0 under "Program Files", NOT "Program Files (x86)"
12. reboot PC
13. reconfigure Oculus
14. install SteamVR
15. after SteamVR installed - select "beta - SteamVR Beta Update", and wait for update to complete
16. reboot PC
17. start SteamVR and run room setup wizard
18. with SteamVR running start ED and configure ED graphics as per what Thorvald posted on the 1st page of this post
19. done!

First of all, thanks for the details on how to make it work.
Second: How the hell is it possible that Frontier tells us to use an extremely outdated version of the SDK because they can not figure out how to make it run and they don't even know if they will ever support the final Rift.
At the same time DK2 works fine when having steam VR, it's like a secret thing users had to find out.
What the heck is going on ?

Hahahaha Nice question, but Frontier has the excuse. No Comment!!!!
indie Developers made their Support for SDK0.8 at home, Frontier with their HUGE TEAM they cannot do nothing!!!
For Now(I Hope) They don't care about this section! STOP
[Long Breath]
They don't have time to work on this. Don't get too carried away with your own sense of entitlement.
This is HIGHLY OFF TOPIC, Click at your own risk!!
Coff...coff....coff.. support for VIVE coff.. coff..coff
Highest of 3 runs for me was 12400ish on 2x gtx670 /i7 3820. I can do 1.5 ss on med/low settings on planets with minimal SLi latency on ORT 0.6.

I can't rep you any more, but wow that makes a difference.
For all that aren't running a through steam downloaded version of Horizons and aren't satisfied with the performance, do it! That's a whole new world!
I was able to switch to medium and high settings with 1.5 supersampling activated in most situations.
Thanks to all of you for this wonderful thread,
Cheers!

For those of us still having issues with monitor refresh rates locking the ones on the Rift, simple solution:
Change your monitor display ratio to any 16/10 resolutions - Ex 1680/1050
Problem solved.
Longer answer: The SteamVR wrapper somehow carries the monitor refresh rate when the monitor is in a 16/9 display ratio. Setting it to a different display ratio solves the problem.

Ok I finally got it working, don't know if this will help anyone but what I was doing differently is I install things in their own directory on separate SSDs, I don't install in default directories. When I installed the Oculus runtime in the default directory it worked.
Now I've got judder when there are other ships in the area (low settings) but I'm waiting for my 980Ti to come back from RMA.

What hardware and drivers are you using to be able to enable supersampling? I get good results with my standalone installation but cannot enable supersampling without judder.
If I am already running horizons standalone, with rift 0.8 drivers and utilising SteamVR (without actually launching steam), are you saying that I will see an improvement if I migrate Horizons fully into steam?

Another issue I'm finding ... when resetting the centre position in game (F12) it works for few times, but doing it again the screen will go a pail colour and the Rift loses sync with the camera. Anyone know why this is occurring and / or how to fix it?
The only way I can solve this is to exit the game and launcher and reset the Rift via configuration.

Firstly thanks to the OP, this has been hugely useful. I'm currently developing a vr game using runtime 8 so not having to change runtimes to play ED is really helpful. Its running really well via steam on windows 10 now!
The only problem I now have is the black smearing is back as I cant alter nvidia colour settings for the rift in direct mode. Is there any work around to alter colour settings? Will reshade or sweetfx work? Or will it just effect the monitor window?
