Laughing In The face Of Adversity

Not been playing as it seems I'm getting old and strange things are happening to my body.....
Soooo whilst I can't play I have been trying to figure out why games/rift are not fully utilising my rig....
It came to a head when I downloaded DCS world....Just to try it in VR......
Out of VR it was dropping frames even when it was only using 3% of the GPU and CPU.......
Mucho searching later.....Downloaded sthg called Nvidia Inspector.....

Good video here.......4 years old...But gives you the basics.....
https://youtu.be/syE55-jEzb8
Anyway done that and GPU and CPU usage jumped right up to what I would sorta expect......Still not maxing it but far better....
Side story....
Wife hates me spending the money I did...Been trying to get her to see what I'm on about.....
Sooooo.......DCS in an SU25...Pause game and plead with her to take a look.....
She does......
I sit her in seat...Put rift on and she goes......Jesuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssss........ (I have smirk on face)
First thing she does is reach for the ingame joystick and knock my beer over.......Go figure.....
I grab hold of her hands and place them on the throttle and joystick.......
Then resume the game.......
Fine for about 30 secs......I'm telling her small movements......
She then goes into a dive and shits herself......Screaming I'm gonna crash and rips the rift off.....
I have tears in my eyes.......Made my day.......
