I still cant figure out how to get games to appear on the rift and not my main monitor other two disabled.
If you're running with your desktop extended onto your Rift, games made with Unity will by default show up on whichever one you've chosen as the primary display. I believe you can override this by creating a shortcut to the game in question and tacking on an "-adapter N" to the command line, where N is the # of the display that corresponds to your Rift (I think 0 is primary, 1 is next display, and so on). I wonder if there is unnecessary latency when running the Rift on a non-primary display, though?
It's probably easier/better to just duplicate/clone your desktop to your Rift and not have to worry about command lines. If you're getting tearing in the Rift even with vsync on, you'll need to fiddle to get the Rift to be the "primary" / "preferred" / "clone source".

Do you know which one puts the tearing onto the desktop not the rift?
Clone Prime To 1 or 1 to prime?
Oh is it possible to have a higher resoultion on my monitor and keep the lower on the rift?
Kinda a drag being on a low res on both.

When I mirror/duplicate/clone my display, and my Rift is set as primary/clone source etc, then my desktop monitor will get tearing. I'm OK with this as I do all my gaming in the Rift now anyway. 🙂 But yes, that's a good way to know if you've successfully switched the primary display to the Rift in this scenario.

Maybe this is a silly question, but could you give some tips how to set the Rift as the primary display when the "duplicate screens" mode is on in Windows? I only seem to be able to set primary/secondary screens when using the Rift in extended mode. 🙂
