Run this program to see if your PC's hardware can handle the Oculus Rift

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.

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

Well, your Graphics Card is ready! You have a serious amount of buttons on your Bookmarks Toolbar, Brad. I love it!

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.

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.

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.

My two newest builds need new cards but everything else passes.
