    Has anyone experienced the DK2 rift with a 4940mx and 880m SLI?
    I'm trying to play elite dangerous but its very choppy in dk2 unless I put everything to low, and sometimes that doesnt even work. its so random, same stations, same place in the game and I can run it on low perfectly one day and the next day it'll run so jittery.

    Any suggestions?

    Investigate the different areas of your pc to see what is not behaving normally.

    Clean or not you need to be looking at temperatures/clocks/usage levels to have an understanding of what is happening.

    Hey Sabaku
    How did you get the DK2 Rift to connect to the Alienware 18? I have tried everything, but cannot get the Rift to work at all. I'm stuck with the orange light on the Rift and the Oculus Configuration Utility doesn't recognise that the Rift is connected. Any help gratefully received!

    I almost buy the DK2, but I found this thread, I need to know if the DK2 it is compatible with the M18X R2?

    Thank you very much :D
