I've heard 75 fps for the Rift. On elite I can get 144 fps with my 970 
and more when I switch off vSync. It does drop in busy scenes but that 
may be due more to Elite.
FurMark V1.14.1.4 reports an average of 60 fps at 1920x1080 with no AA 
and 106% power 80 Deg C 99% GPU usage. It is bog standard, not over clocked.

Quite predictable. :-)

There were F1 cars all over the place. The canteen had two racing up the 
walls and there were a couple hanging from the ceiling in reception.
It surprised me to see that the cars have leg straps. But on reflection 
it makes sense. +1 Jackie Stewart.

I have my phone's task manager kill it whenever it appears. I do not 
want my phone to shout that it could not understand what I said in 
meetings, randomly.
I had another go at training the M$ free one today after setting up the 
h/set mic. I gave up after an hour when I realise I was screaming 
profanities at it.
I feel as if it is misunderstanding me deliberately out of badness.
