Ever since the update yesterday I've been able to play my games on much higher settings than I could before, and this is awesome and got me curious, since I'm no expert on the field.
Why is it not used in normal 2D monitor games?
Would PSVR be better off with ASW instead of reprojection?
There is no reason as to why it cannot be used for normal 2d monitor games. However I guess as even a gtx 970 can handle high framerates at HD, this is probably not used for this reason, unlike VR that requires a lot more grunt.
@thealgorithm Yes but there are still games that are very demanding like Battlefield 1 etc, especially if you're gaming in 4K. The minimum specs would be a lot lower for maintaining only 30 fps, and they'd be able to target a much larger audience with their product.
@Storm_Cloud That could be true and also very embarrassing, that the gaming industry hasn't been able to figure it out for 30+ years yet Oculus managed to cut requirements by 50% in less than a year.
Star wars force unleashed 2 was the first game I think to use this technique, so it's not oculus original. Not sure why other games didn't carried on this option since it wouldn't be hard to implement.
