Is DK2 playable wit fps<75?

The title is self-explnatory. Can I play DK2 with FP under 75? I gueess I have to turn low persistence off... is that SUCH a big deal? Thanks!

Many demos and some games include an option to display framerate so you can see if you're hitting that magical 88fp..I mean 75 fps.Is there a way to display framerate in demos/games that does not have that function?I tried FRAPS but couldn't get it t...

DK2 8 hours in...talk me off the ledge.

Honesty policy - Dk2 shipped with a dead pixel in center of screen and the right rail shifts and wiggles all out of the box. Great way to make someone feel good about your product is have quality control and Oculus has zero QC on their products. I wa...

FYI: Low framerates and jittery image with dp->dvi adapter

First I thought that the dk2 was a major let down. Image was very jittery and framerates didn't go past 35 fps. It turned out to be that the displayport to dvi active dongle didn't play nice with the rifts special hdmi-cable. So if you are experienci...

Should it be called VR?

I know that Oculus didn't invent the terminology "Virtual Reality" but is it really a virtual REALITY you get with DK1 / DK2? I mean, it's a (relatively) low res screen floating in front of your eyes. At times, it gives a feeling of visual immersion ...
