    I guess the loaded question is.... did you notice while playing?

    Interesting... I upgraded my computer right at that time so I figured the fps increase was due to the upgrade...
    Will check it out and revert back when I put it to 1.4

    That's a very good question :). Something didn't feel right but I couldn't put my finger on it. It was certainly an "ah hah!" moment when I found it.

    embarrassingly I set it back to 1.4 and did almost 200km without noticing much...
    but Silverstone 1967 is a pretty bland track. :p

    Still not sure weather to get VR or go with triples, if i get VR it will be the Rift.

    Yeah it's a tough decision. I've been using triples for over seven years and its been great. I still use triples for the occasional old rFactor run and for weekly Arma 3 games with mates. Everything else is AC and pCars in the Rift. The fact is going to VR is a huge step forward in immersion - even over triple screen. Basically it'll come down to budget and to what you play most of the time.

    havent tried oculus games but the oculus home screen thing works.

    steam vr wont run long enough to do anything it instantly shuts down after clicking launch.

    edit turned pc on this morning played robo recal on oculus home then tried steam vr and it booted right up -_-

    I don't use steamVR to launch AC... actually stopped using the AC launcher and now use "Content Launcher" exclusively for AC.
    It's really awesome and highly recommend it... lets u get to a more granular level on graphics settings... can now run PP and it look amazing.

    Hey @krunch-y cornflake pulled this from somewhere else...
    What CPU are you running? I ran the occulus system specification tool with the new RX580 installed and the only thing below recommended spec it picked up was my i5 2500k CPU (as above minimum) - and something about not being able to assess the compatibility of some USB ports.
