After messing around with IPD and fit tonight, I settled upon the following. Hopefully the community finds it useful.
IPD - Long story short, this will mainly only affect the scale of objects in the headset. This is most noticeable in a cockpit game where you can look down and observe body size (Rigs). After messing around with all the extremes I settled on the default (which is pretty close to my actual IPD).
Fit - This one is important. Disregard the bit about pulling down the back of the headset. This will most likely angle the headset up a bit, bluring close/far objects. Instead, try to fit the rubber eyeshield flush on your face (i.e. the top touches your face at the same time as the bottom). To get this fit, I usually have to sit the back much higher on the head. At least for me this gave me the following benefits:
- Blur was reduced on close up objects. I was generally able to distinguish pixels at close and far distances.
- The noseflap approaches your face more vertically, and if you can get the lenses close enough to your eyes, you get complete light block out.
- The higher fit put much less pressure on my temples, and stopped giving me headaches.
Hope this helps. Rigs, Driveclub, Super Stardust, and Thumper all felt really nice to play with this setup tonight.
