Oculus Rift and motion sickness

[mickmcpaddy]

I have recently purchased one of these but apart from the graphics/resolution not being quite as good as I hoped the motion sickness is awful. Cant complete a circuit of a coaster without having to take the head set off.

I would like to know whether upgrading the spec of my PC will make any difference because I have read about dropped frames and the like but most games seem to play smoothly enough. I have tried to increase the pixel density thing or whatever it is with the developer tool but it didn't seem to make much difference

My current specs are i5 3570K which I have overclocked via the bios to 4.2Mhz (using the clock multiplier), and I have a GTX 1060 6GB, along with 8Gb of RAM.

I can play Robo Recall ok for a good while (just get a bit hot and sweaty) its just things like the coaster or flight simulator (with Flight Inside) that knock me sick, especially the helicopter. However I will say if I try and read something whilst being a passenger in a car I get motion sickness as well, but if I look out of the window then I'm fine despite how much of an arse the driver is.

So is there anything I can do to make the thing more playable or get shot of it, I would like a racing game but no forking out any more dosh if its unbearable.

Not bothered with this for a couple of weeks and just tried it on flight sim again, after literally 5 minutes I felt queasy again, like I have just got of the waltzers or something. I don't think it helps having a big dobbing thing strapped to your head whilst trying to look round and it isn't half hot inside it.

Worst thing I have ever bought, its got to go.
