It’s starting to sound like the Rift might handle the higher graphics settings better than the Vive. Out of curiosity, I wanna get a head(set) count.
I’m running the game on a Vive. Sounds like Xlawguardain and Cory are both using a Rift to play. Sour, what headset do you use? Richard, if you’re still following this, what are you using?
Rift over here 
I’m not sure if the Rift or Vive actually run it at higher/lower FPS than each other, but I do think that the Rift’s ASW is much better than the Vive’s stuff when it comes to “hiding” brief low-FPS moments.
Yeah steamr doesnt even really work for me. Not sure if its the oculus beta im in or what but steamvr itself it a buggy mess on my rift lol.
I was thinking maybe the Vive uses more system resources than the Rift, leaving less for the game itself. I dunno, just a shot in the dark. Haha. I just play the games, still learning how the behind-the-scenes works. What does ASW mean?
I see why it’s abbreviated. Lol. Thanks!
That said, as Sour said, the “Ultra” is for like 1080ti-level cards, the High is for 1080-level, the Standard is for 1070-level, Medium would be like a 1060-ish, and then Low would be like a 970 (basically the minimum requirement).
Also keep in mind you need a capable CPU to run higher end GPU or you will bottleneck you GPU
Yea, with my non-ti 1080, I’m likely to just stick with the High setting per Riley and Sour’s suggestions. Though, I will be trying Ultra one more time tomorrow morning since there’s been an update.
Tonight when I get home or possibly tomorrow afternoon if I’m tired today, I will try to post a video of my computer performance, I found out that oculus has a debug performance menu. I just don’t know if my shadow play will show it with the gameplay recording or not. regardless ill find away. I would like to maybe see some gameplay video from you guys in ultra as well because I would like to compare and see what exactly is going on. Just curious 
I have definitely noticed an increase in optimization this newest patch. Out killing the second world boss last night I was able to raid on high settings very smoothly. While in an easy to render place like the desert surrounding it I found I could run ultra without much re-projection.
As have I! @Riley_D, there’s definitely improvement. I’m still going to keep my graphics setting on High, because I still get reprojection on Ultra, just not as much.
