VR Pixel Density

[terrydew]

Today I tried the trick of increasing the pixel density using the Oculus debug tool. I used a high setting of 2 and it really made a difference. It of course dropped my fps but since asw is now included it kept me at or close to 45 fps and was very smooth. My settings in game were mostly at the max.

Is the default pixel density at the lowest for max performance and if so could you add a setting to change it in game so we wouldn't have to use the debug tool trick? I realize that some of the improvement could be a placebo effect because I wanted it ti look better so am very interested in the answer.

Also ASW appears to work on its own and I think will be a big improvement for slower machines.

One of the qualification parameters Oculus requires, in order to be listed in their store is the application must not drop below 90FPS. 

We are still looking into the latest driver/sdk update.

Interesting. I assume that will change with ASW as it operates at 45. It would still be helpful to be able to specify pixel density even if only by a conf file change?

Thanks

I was reading up on this today. Skuzzy's mention of 90F/s is an Occulus must.
It has to do with the nausea issue. Slow down the f/s and you increase an issue about hand eye co-ordination and the occulus response time. The body over corrects cuz the eyes see motion but theres no gravity response felt.

There is research for a display with a 1700+MHz refresh rate, that will supposedly eliminate the nausea thing. Now if you do not have the nausea issue, gold for you then.
