CadetStimpy Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Is your PC Rift Ready? My 8-core, 4MHz AMD FX-8350 processor is marked as too wimpy! You may have noted, the price is a good bit higher than initially expected, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 To my best recollection if you don't have a Nvidia 970 or higher (not sure what model Raedon card you would need) then no VR for you. I recently bought a 960 (before I was aware of this fact) I'm curious about Occulus but I don't know if I'm ready for a $300+ video card.

Yup, Derek, you're right. Here's what I got when I ran the test: Click here for what to do if you get a similar error, but the resolution for this error is to (according to Oculus Support): 1) Upgrade your Graphics Card or use a different PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CadetStimpy Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Well, your Graphics Card is ready! You have a serious amount of buttons on your Bookmarks Toolbar, Brad. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Why the hell do you need three USB 3.0 ports all of my HTPC's do have that many ports so it wouldn't be a problem just seems like a lot of ports for the device to need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It could be streaming a lot of audio and video. 1 audio stream and 2 video? The USB 2.0 might be just data. I assume it's not taking power from those USB ports either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Oculus doesn't care for my USB 3.0 add in cards either. I know the one has 4 built in ports but I think the Inspiron only has 2 wonder if a USB 3.0 hub would work. SpoilerSpoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 My two newest builds need new cards but everything else passes. SpoilerSpoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
