It's hard for me to believe that this boost to Graphics is as good as people are making it sound. I'm not doubting that it works but at what expense. I think if it was that good when Oculus worked on this for 5 years why wouldn't they make this happen out of the box? I could be wrong because I'm not a tech person but the question is what suffers when you do this and why if it's that good doesn't Oculus do it out of the box?
It's basically the equivalent of supersampling--rendering a larger image than the screen resolution and then downsizing it to the screen. you get slightly better edges and details, especially sub-pixel sized stuff. The cost, of course, is the higher GPU overhead needed to render the larger image.
This feature would be best used as an option provided by developers in their game settings, rather than what people are currently doing. Setting it as a universal setting through the SDK may mean that you get poor performance in more demanding titles. It really should be handled by each individual app.
