Hi,
I bought VorpX a while ago and tried it in different games, but couldn`t play one of them for a longer time, for different reasons.
For one, the head tracking is coupled with the mouse movement, which introduces some lag and makes it hard to get proper head tracking speed because you have to calibrate the speed by yourself, by changing the mouse speed.
Another problem is the image distortion

the problem with that is not, the distortion itself, but that the (fisheye)distortion changes when you move your head

(The distortion in VorpX is not as hefty as in the video).
These two things break immersion completely for me and make me feel sick really quick (sometimes in seconds).
But there are three other problems,
one is the Hud, which is not in your vision in almost every game, to view it, you have to use “edge peek” (lets you view the edges of the screen), which is very annoying.

The other things are are the lack of proper 3D depth calibration, the default value is not the right value and since you have no calibration tool, you have to guess, which is the right value
and the proper fov adjustment (the inbuilt adjuster often causes glitches and culling).
(eye seperation and 3D FOV Enhancement)

The downsides of that driver are the lack of dx10 and 11 compatibility and the support for less game (because profiles need more time).
Thanks for the replies,
I will stick with landscape then and try the Z-Buffer Mode in Bioshock Infinite.
