It can be run without an HMD. This gives you your PC system "baseline" VR performance. Then you can run it with various HMDs and see how they affect the performance as each one of them has a different overhead
Yes, because we don't already have enough software that can show artificially inflated "improved performance" to sell more hardware. VR looks like the next tech bubble, but at this rate it will flop harder than 4K.
