So like The Walking Dead: Saints and sinners, massive specced game, i7 GTX1070 16GB - bla bla bla. With specs like that you would not think it would even start let alone run OK on my system, but it does - it runs very well in fact. Now sure everything is on low, but the graphics are stunning still. Game play is smooth as silk, no stuttering at all. Made the hairs on my neck and arms stand up when I was playing it - lol.
Now I realise, they want you to have the best experience and I am sure many people want that - I am happy with an OK experience running on my 'its OK' computer. I nearly did not bother because of the posted specs, and did not want the hassle of getting a refund - but boy I am glad I took the risk.
Every VR game I have downloaded from the O store has worked great for me. If your on a low spec machine like me, how do you find performance ?
Devs also normally target 90 fps. Using asw 2.0 you can play just fine using 45 fps in games with native Oculus driver support - like Saints and Sinners. This basically means you can get an awesome experience using hardware that provides 50% of the speed provided by the recommended hardware. Awesome right? But that's thanks to Oculus - using non-Oculus hmds you need those 90 fps.
I thought other HMD's have their own version of ASW? Or is that not the case?
Or do they have it, but it doesn't work as well for some reason?

A 1050ti is not going to give you anything but a baseline experience, if you're lucky. No super sampling, no high settings, and you will use lots of ASW. You don't seem to mind this, great, but it's the explanation you're after. Other people mind. A lot.

Firstly, the gains of using something like a GTX 1070 or AMD Vega 56 as recommended for this particular game will be significant in terms of visuals and minimum frame rate unless it's been coded very badly. The same applies to every other one of the 200+ pancake and VR games in my libraries, so there's no reason to assume that it won't also apply to this one.

I think you will find it takes a lot of extra power to produce not a lot of extra visuals (as you should already know).

VR is already a heavy load for pc's, but also the gaming industry standard of any lack of optimisation is usually the main factor in todays gaming industry going nuts with high requirements, because for a long time now they no longer bug test or optimises games anymore as they did in the past, they just stick a high spec requirment and hope brute force fixes most of their games problems, plus with the added bonus for them grabbing that money as quick as possible.

The whole point is that your 'baseline' is good enough for most people and should be reflected in the advertised specs IMO. Otherwise it just goes to re-enforce the idea that VR is only for the rich, or people who have their money priorities wrong.
