This will be VERY useful for people looking to see the performance of their GPU whilst in the rift. Courtesy of K0nsi over @ Reddit. There was a topic about smoothness in Project CARS recently where this would have been pretty ideal. No doubt I'll make some good use of this to benchmark the GTX 1080 performance.
-Start Oculus Home
-Start the Debug Tool (optionally set the desired pixel density)
-Start your game
-Now alt-tab into the debug tool again and choose under Service->Visible HUD: Performance and under Performance HUD->Mode either Performance Summary or Compositor Render timing.
You can change these settings while in game as well.
In Performance summary you get all the important information including an fps counter(duh) combined with a graph. More interesting is the Compositor Render timing option. The fps counter there shows you the combined FPS of the application rendering and TimeWarp (according to this where you can also find more detailed info).
I had for example in the station scenes in Elite Dangerous an average of 50fps according to thePerformance summary and Afterburner Overlay which is only visible on the client window on my monitor, but in the Compositor Rendering Mode still on average 90 (although very fast fluctuating by +-10fps). Since I didnt notice any judder/lag at all, this seems to be pretty accurate. ATW ftw!
Unfortunately the HUD overlay is pretty big and I didn't find a way to change the position or transparency. But it works and I'm happy with it. Maybe someone else finds a solution for that.
