One important question: will Vorpx game on Vive perform as well as Dk2 on the same computer?
If you are talking DK2 before 1.3, then there’s a good chance. The Vive does run at a higher resolution and fps, but does have some other optimizations.
1.3+, it’s hard to say. I find asynchronous time warp to be some magical stuff, greatly extending the range of playable stuff. It’s possible the lower specs + ATW would make something playable on a DK2 that’s not on the Vive.
In addition, Ralf has put a lot of optimization work into the Oculus SDK interface. It’s quite possible some of the tricks he uses won’t apply to the Vive, again increasing the range at which the DK2 would outperform the Vive. Of course, you never know.. maybe he’ll find something in the OpenVR SDK that’ll make things faster than Oculus.
TLDR: they are different enough that all you can really do is hope and wait to see.
