I know at least for TVs/monitors for flat screens it really helps keeping things smooth out for motion - so I understand how it will help with VR - but is it really worth over 90Hz in terms of hardware requirements? 90 was already a 50% performance boost from the normally 60Hz most people play at.

Yes let the hate flow through you!
That's the second time I have had the picture applied to my conversation in a week LoL. I love it, although Zenbane's had tassels 🙂

Well Valve are not HTC, maybe they will do more sales?

Maybe you'll get the HL3 free with it at Christmas 🙂

The index support 80/90/120/144hz refresh. So if your hardware can't do 120/144 you just fall back to 80/90. Why turn the support for higher refresh into a negative, when in reality it's a win-win? Next time you upgrade your gfx card, the index is ready for it.
The higher refresh was the one thing that Norman Chan from Tested said was the most noticeable improvement to the immersion experience.

Yep no idea how it works, I know that one reviewer was playing No mans Sky at 144hz? However this is another reason I am interested in the Index.
I am not just thinking about today, this headset is a big investment for me. I cannot afford to be replacing my headset every year, I am looking at having it for 3 years. This gives me room to grow as graphic cards improve. Maybe then these features will come into play.
Was about to say that as well - it should allow for the next generation cards coming out some room to stretch their legs in. RX 3k coming out in the next few months and I am sure NV will respond with their RTX 3k lines as well.
I think having hardware options like these is the way forward just a bit. This way you can market your headset for the low and high end at the same time. Now, if they can only get the BS/LH and their new controllers down in price - I think they would have a winner in terms of 1.5 HMD battle goes:)
