Fix for me turned out that the paste on my video card was old and needed to be replace, what is your gpu and cpu temps at? I use gpu-z to check my temps. High temps will cause a throttling of the gpu.

It's more like a missed frame here and there  I only notice it when I'm looking for it. Direct mode is a double vision blurry mess.

In system super cruise is smooth. Jumping between systems is not as smooth and there is a bit of a lag for just a second as the game loads. I'm running it off one of the fastest ssd ever made so that might help.  As for the between system.

Stations do drop me to about 65 sometimes but I just avoid head turning in them as it's not needed.

See I'm running a 6 year old cpu and a 970 and get a solid 75 in extended. Any time you want to meet on team speak I can check settings with you. 0.5.0

I quit wow after 8 years to play more Elite Dangerous, does that say something?

Elite Dangerous is the most fun I've had sense Euro truck simulator.  That is meant to have all the context it does.

If you think hauling cargo across space to optimize your profit to buy a bigger ship to haul more cargo to buy a fighter ship to hunt pirates sounds fun then Yes its fun.

The rift support is the best I've ever seen. I'm assuming you have extended mode and a 970 or better. I have a 6 year old cpu but I barely get the required 75 FPS.

I think it's mostly only fun to play with friends but at the same time that can be hard.

Sample play:

So recently I switched from cargo hauling to hunting pirates (I shot a cop in the system where I parked my hauler and I can't go back there for a week) In 2 hours of playing last night I managed not to die but had some stolen cargo in my hold and paid more in fines than I made in bounties. It was still fun. I have to bug out once at 5% hull integrity and limped into a station hoping that no one scanned me as I was loaded up on stolen cargo.  They caught me and I had to pay a fine much more than the cargo was worth.

I searched 5 stations for a black market to sell the cargo before I gave up and jettisoned it into a sun.

This isn't a space flight simulator it's a space life simulator. Once I get the credits I'm buyign the fastest ship I can and setting a destination for second star on the right and heading straight on till morning.

(p.s. not proof read, I'm in a rush at work).

Given how quickly the steam boxes came out (re never) I'm getting a rift first but I would say wait till as close as possible and what game you most want to play. I'm mostly (only) playing elite dangerous these days so I will get the first one that works with ED.

As for my thoughts on oculus funding games , think of it like halo. No one expects to play halo on your ps4, if you want to play both games get both systems. It's just as ridiculous to have two HMD as it is to have two consoles but I'd say that oculus and vive are farther apart than ps4 and xbone.

I stand corrected. Every benchmark will be different. Mostly I like the 970 for it's power draw. It's passive cooling when not in a game.

I'd say 970 at a Min
benchmark scores
6966 http://videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+R9+290X+%2F+390X&id=2697
vs
8635 http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+970

so the 290 won't meet the recommended for oculus.  Also a lot of games have stuff that only work on nvidia cards.
Also nvidia cards have a h264 encoder that lets you stream and record games.

I'm biased, I own a 970. Also the 970 comes with $160 in games

Also FOV has a lot to do with head shape and how close to the eyes you can get. I have a very narrow FOV but I don't mind it as I wear shades all day and they block some of my real life FOV.
