I Have a GTX780Ti and worry i might not always get 75fps in games like Elite. If i'm getting 80fps will it still be like using a DK2, or as soon as you get 89fps the judder starts? I could live with DK2 performance at certain points. It was perfectly fine at 75fps for me. 🙂
Ideally, we'd have something akin to Freesync/Gsync whereby the screen more or less updates at whatever speed it can manage if it can't meet the target. Practically, I reckon a on-the-fly switch from 90 to 75Hz would be possible and easier to do.
In reality? Probably just judder, as I expect the above options would require hardware designed for the purpose and therefore assume it isn't incorporated or it would've been shouted about as a feature by now.
I don't know, we will see I suppose... Personally I was quite happy back in the days when you could get the Rift to work at 60Hz. Guess I have slow eyes :shock:
As I understand it though, the CV1's higher refresh rate lets it take advantage of a thing our eyes/brain do which boosts the apparent resolution of the scene in front of us. As I understand, this effect is lost (or at least greatly reduced) by the time you get to 75Hz. I suspect it's one of the reasons people report the newer HMDs as being quite crisp in detail despite not being that much higher res than the likes of the DK2.

I think you will able to play using low graphics settings, but that will reduce the inmersion a lot. They talking about min sys req so I think the best choice for the rift to play at max settings will be 980 ti or 970 SLI.
The 1.0 Runtime includes async time-warp. So the games will be more resilient to slight drops in frame-rate. Of course, if you are consistently under 90fps then you will see some choppiness (like in positional tracking or animation) but the head-tracking orientation judder is mostly gone.
