    Waiting for the patch, Oculus runtime 1.3 will be available on monday, and i'm pretty sure that without it the dk2 won't be able to work on Elite 2.0.7
    SteamVR might be a solution for the weekend.... need testing

    Lots of speculation about the DK2 working or not, easiest just to try it and see what happens.

    Well, DK2 + 1.3 runtime+ lastest Nvidia driver are really good for VR. Asynchronous time warp make wonder to avoid judder now if FPS<75 !
