First off Thank you Josh for bringing your Rift over.
I just want to start by saying WOW. Here's some quick background. I've used Google Cardboard, I've 3D Printed a holders for the cardboard lenses, and I've used Color Cross all viewed with my LG G3 and I thought the Color Cross was pretty cool. Zombie Shooter VR was fun. I tried to order my Rift day one and it was just a clusterfuk and ended up going through hours later (000036XXXX). My current shipping date is 4-14 July. My friend Josh had late August date but he was able to jump on the ones from Amazon and BAM .... he got one. We did the unboxing at my place, connected it to my PC and it was glorious. My so called non-VR-Ready CPU didn't even flinch and anything. Ok, on to the Meat and Cheese. Things you need to be aware of before you freak out. Nvidia Users who are playing on 1080p TV/Monitors like me, DSR works on the RIFT (more on this later). So once you get your IPD and Height set and it does its Dreamdeck thing your next manually ran program should be Showdown. The reason is so that you can see what the Rift is capable of and to set a visual Base Line for your other games. We did Elite Dangerous and when I first ran it I was like cool but I couldn't read anything. So my first thought was, "This Sucks". Then I checked the resolution and it was set to 1024 x 768, I laughed and set it to 1920 x 1080. That was a lot better. Re-centered the view took her out of the station, let Josh take a look and we both said it could be better. He asked if I had my DSR on.....logged out.... activated DSR.... got back in the game set the resolution to 2560 x 1440 and you could read every think. I took my Vulture to a RES (high), found a Python and opened up a can of whip ass followed by school girl giggles because it was so easy and fun. No dizziness or anything. I went from Vulture to Anaconda to Cobra Mk III, Viper MK IV and it was fun. It almost felt like I was cheating because I could finally look around. I got up out of the seat an walked around my Vulture. I tried not to say stuff that I've heard others say but I couldn't help it. Until you are there you just don't understand. The inside of the ship is huge. The details in the ships are outfuckingstanding. I can't wait to get my Rift. I told my friends that Lucky's Tale was going to be a game for my wife, but after playing it.........y'all can laugh all you want, that game was fun. I'll be playing the shit out of it. It looks like a cross between claymation, candy, and cake. Just sayin' 😃 So below is info about my PC. I am a PC Gamer so yes I overclock a little.
