Maybe it’s just my old eyes but I cannot see any differences between the Rift S 80hz and cv1 90hz.

On my 1080p 144hz gaming monitor I can easily see an improvement going from 60 to 100hz, but then none going to 120 or 144hz.  Also, my monitor’s colors seem best at 100hz.  Not sure why?

Maybe there's too much blur (latency) at 144 Hz on the monitor impacting the colors, but if you can see diff between 60 and 100 Hz, then you'll probably see a clear diff going from 90 to 120 using the Index. Index has very low latency lcds to support 144 Hz. Personally I found 144 Hz even more smooth than 120 Hz, but the last 24 fps/Hz are a luxury I can't allow myself in most games. 

I consider myself a shy guy when sober - not sure I could do this  :# It could easily be hard and quite awkward to explain myself to ordinary people passing by :blush:

I run all my sims at 80, I just can’t get any performance otherwise:( decent spec pc but struggles with the Index.

*Bumps* Oh, sorry sir...I didn't see you standing there. Please forgive my transgression.

It's starting to look good - I haven't bought it just, I'm not that fond of paying for early access - he moves pinky in the video = he's using the Index ;)

Well bugger, I cannot wait for the Index to come to Australia so I've pre-ordered a Cosmos, lol!  Hopefully it will be a reasonably good upgrade to my current Rift cv1 w/2x sensors.  Time will tell I guess.
