VR and Downsampling ?

[Dicehunter]

Is it possible to run a game at a much higher res than the headset supports i.e downsampling to reduce aliasing etc... ?

Yes, sort of.

This is done at the engine rendering level, rather than you getting to decide. SteamVR/OpenVR does this automatically based on your available processing power.

The maximum resolution it'll go for currently is 3024x1680 with 8xMSAA, and then downsample to the 2160x1200 of the HMD.

yes you can do this (well i did in the past) in Elite and Project Cars both have DSR options. Well project cars isnt exactly the same but similar.
