Any other of you guys in the same boat?
Have until April to upgrade; AMD or Intel?
Intel i5-4590 is minimum spec.
I'd recommend an i5-4690K.
There is no AMD CPU on the market that will meet their requirements because of its weak IPC. Not bashing AMD as they are good at the value segment.
where do i find this?
>>322965202
Yeah except i need 2 more usb 3.0 ports
Where do i acquire these new ports?!!?!

I just ran it and it said that my PC doesn't meet the requirements but there is an error in their software. Specifically it used my Integrated Intel HD Graphics as the value for graphics card and didn't detect that I have a GTX 980 Ti on my system.

Blue button downloads their executable.

>>322966901
Its all kinds of wrong but sure.
my 770 isnt good enough, my FX9370 isnt good enough and I apparently don't have enough usb3s even though I do. Oh well. Thanks anons
>>322965202
Wow my processor failed out too.
Guess I'm not getting an Oculus Rift.So to me it'd cost more than $599
The only thing that doesn't fly is my GTX 760, is it even worth changing it?
my cpu falls just barely short
its an i5 4460, it should be fine.. right?
>>322967582
I'm pretty sure you can wait until next gen cards comes out. Consider a mild overclock on your 760 if you haven't. It performs decent with almost everything 1080p 60fps.
I don't think you'll be buying a Rift, or are you?
>>322968186
Can you run the test, see:
>>322966648
I have built an i5-4460 / GTX 960 build for my wife's son recently. I'm curious whether it meets the requirements.
>>322968223
It all depends on what games I want to play with it, as for right now I can only imagine playing Mirrors Edge.I don't want to try overclocking my 760 since I'm afraid to overheat it ;-;
>>322968585
You can use the factory voltage and apply a mild overclock, it doesn't produce higher heat output, it would be exactly the same as the factory settings. Push it too hard without increasing the voltage and it will create artifacts. Then again, it's up to you.
>>322965202
Just missing the ports and my gpu is a bit weak, but I think it'll probably do the job.
>recommended
who gives a shit
>>322965202
>i5 3570K and GTX 680 is not enough to power Oculus
WEW LAD
Good thing I wasn't really interested in it anyways.
Damn
JUST
FUCK
MY
LIFE
UP
>>322969904
There's cards for that bro. PCI-E slots
>>322969904
>literally a $20 upgrade
http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-Express-Connector-Desktops-Chipset/dp/B005ARQV6U
What now?
>>322970146
I have 5 slots that i'm not using and that is working properly.
All ready.
>>322965202
pascal save me
Yeah, sure.
Nice.
>>322969972
>the operation completed succesfully
que?
By the way this test is shit and doesn't actually test shit. It just picks parts from some arbitrary shitty list.
If you really want to do an actual test for it, go to Steam and download the 3DMark benchmark tool. It's paid, but you can download a demo of it. Then run the Firestrike benchmark and wait for it to finish. Then it will display results online. Palmer said anything above 9000 is fine for the Rift.
So what now?
I can't afford to build another PC but I want VR.
Do I just buy it and play it on low settings? Will such a thing even exist?
Why is 95fps required?

A Triple-A title can't be powered with a GTX 970 or a 290/390. It uses almost double the rendering power and needs more FPS. The GTX 970 is already barebones for VR.
can someone just list the requirements
why the fuck download an exe just for that
>>322972101
>we recommend an NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD 290 graphics card equivalent or greater.
>8 GB RAM
>we recommend an Intel i5-4590 CPU or greater.*
* Please note that we focus on single-core performance CPUs, therefore not every i5 and i7 card will meet Rift's recommended system specifications.
>The Oculus Rift requires 3 unused USB 3.0 ports and 1 unused USB 2.0 port.
>>322971365
>why 95fps
prevents retarded users from getting motion sickness and then blaming the product

Can attest to that. I turned hyperthreading On on my i7 3770 and the score on the 3DMark test was 7500. Turned it off and it went to 9500+, which puts my system slightly ahead of what is recomended for the rift (i7 3770 + gtx 970)
Oculus tells me to go fuck myself, Nvidia says its ok (just need 390 driver)
I'm probably getting a Vive instead though.
>>322972715
Turning off HT will hurt you in 2015+ games
Consoles use 8-core laptop CPUs from AMD
Games that aren't heavily multi-threaded literally don't work on them at all.
>>322966595
I have one of those cards and it doesn't like it.
>>322972101
The .exe sends all your info back to OR servers so they can see how many people can't run their stupid product
I'm buying either a Vive or morpheus, fuck these kike faggots.
starting to think maybe i should just get a DK2 and live with it for a few more years
am i retarded?
>>322966108
thats the recommended spec not min
>>322973149
>console ports have the same level of optimization as their console counterparts
>>322965202
>4 USB ports needed
Well fuck that shit then.
>>322973717
Name a current gen game that doesn't run as well or better on a 750Ti as it does on console.
GTA V and BF4 literally run at a more stable 30 FPS with slightly nicer settings and real 1080P
>>322974430
That's vs PS4 GTAV btw
>>322974430
BF4 is 60* FPS on PS4 anon.
>>322974707
60 then whatever, DF tested it and it ran better than Ps4 but at real 1080 and not 900
>>322972715
Just tested Fire Strike on my i7 4790 + R9 280x.
>HT on - 8106 overall
>HT off - 7580 overall
Sounds like BS to me.
>mfw no problem running VR
>>322976285
>2047MB 980 Ti
Why is speccy such shit?
>>322976285
>24GB DDR3

Check for updates :^)
here is my potato
>>322966468
wait why do you need two more usb 3.0 ports
Upgraded processor/motherboard/ram literally yesterday, so those are fine. 960 doesn't cut it but if I really want one later I'll upgrade, since it's fine for me right now.
>i7 2600k
>performs way better stock than the i5-4590 and i5-4690
>LOL UR CPU SUX
ok

>>322977034
Also speccy is being shit, I have 16GB of 2666MHz DDR4 Corsair ram
>>322972940
>xeon processor
>48 gb of RAM
>5760x1080
For what fucking purpose
>>322977061
The 4690K is superior.
>>322977490
>Because i can
Not him but probably the answer.
>>322972940
What are you using all that ram for?
>>322966108
>recommending a last gen CPU
wat
If your system cant handle the oculus rift, you're a fucking pleb.
