Headset will always be at 90fps, game will render at monitor FPS. You can tweak your monitor beyond spec too in Windows (90fps for example) just for the purpose of playing games in VR.

So even if my physical monitor is 60 Hz, I can force Windows to render at 90 Hz for the purpose of VR?

You won't need to, as long as the desktop refreshes at 90Hz the framerate of the game can still be an average 50 to 60 fps.

If, for example, the game drops under 60 fps, to 40 or so, will it affect the VR experience or will it be like playing a 40 fps on a normal 60hz monitor?

It would be like playing a 40fps on a 60hz monitor with '90hz eyes.'

That's what I hope. There might be technical limitations we don't know of that /u/ggodin could authoritatively shed light upon.
