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 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.

A' right! Pall. Hou's it gaun?
Hae ye tried the Wings Beta?
I posted that very same clip on the Elite forum. I got rep from a Saff
Londoner.
But it is true. I've worked in computing since the first abacus broke
and someone was needed to fix it. The only way to fix the damn things is
to threaten to kick their CPU in.
Trust me man!

*drool* I haven't had over 60 fps with vsync on since my old 15" CRT :-)

I didn't realise they had leg straps, I wouldn't have thought there was
much space for your leg to move into in those cars. I did a factory tour
around the Red Bull F1 place last year, the same sort of thing, but with
a fridge full of Red Bull in every room. They do tend to have a lot of
money to splash around - after all if you're selling sugared water for
£10/litre there's probably quite a big profit margin :-)

Oh I never use it in public :-) On mine you have to press the microphone
icon on the screen first, so you can't really do it without realising.

Every few years I try that for a few minutes..

Yes, people did say it got better with DK2 but still difficult.

People are comparing it to using 3x monitors, so with a field of view
getting on for 180 degrees. AIUI the rift uses half of a 1920x1080
display for each eye, so actually you've got 6x less resolution spread
across your horizontal field of view. I assume the rift keeps roughly
square pixels so the vertical resolution (pixels per degree field of
view) should see an equal difference? That's quite a difference even if
the angles are not quite right.

The 970 is the only GPU I've bought. I did not realise I was bragging. :-)
I've seen it drop to 35 fps at times though. If that's any comfort. ;-)

There's not much room. The ones I saw were in a car on the ground in a
breakout area. No one told me that's what they were but none of us could
think what else they could have been. Just think of the forces in a
crash at those speeds. Every little helps. I suppose.

Budgets. Where I was the budget for the racing engine, manufacturing and
R&D. Came from Advertising or PR or something soft like that. Not
Engineering or Commercial R&D.

I would like it to work. It was one of the things promised us when I was

I meant more with the monitor, 144 fps with vsync on = a nice monitor :-)

Hmm thinking about it a bit more I don't think any straps like that
would be allowed. In a crash you definitely do not want anything that
might prevent you getting out of the car (or anyone else removing you
from the car). The seatbelts in F1 are 6 point harnesses, was it the
lower 2 straps of these you maybe saw (they come from under the seat, go
over your thighs can come up between your legs into the buckle that sits
over your stomach).

That's the 3D part. It's for shutter glasses.

Thinking about what you just said and I agree. The straps would have
been suitable for keeping a dummy secure. The car was tilted as if it
were banking.
And I just said that the budget was a HR type. <Blush>
Forget I mentioned it. Please.

But can you run it in 2D mode at those high refresh rates? Which monitor
is it BTW?
Three of these would be epic:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/PG278Q-Widescreen-Monitor-2560x1440-NVIDIA/dp/B00LBZLIXG
Although that is going to be one massive load on the GPU :-)

Yes, Elite has an option of selecting a refresh rate of 60, 100, 120 &
144.4 fps. If that is what you mean.
It is a BENQ XL2411Z
