I'm thinking about pre-ordering Vive
Yes?
No?
Oculus better/worst
Gimmick?

They are about the same but if you want waggling get the vive
Oculus seems to be focusing more on sit down experience
Everyone I've talked to who tried both says the Vive is better.
Also, Oculus and Facebook are already funding exclusives. If you don't want to support that, buy Vive.
OP here
I failed the VR test. My computer is a few years old and can still play games, just not the fastest. Can I still be able to use VR on low settings?

If you don't at least have a GTX 970/the AMD equivalent then don't bother.
I've got an FX-8370, and yet I supposedly failed the test, am I okay or am I screwed? I also have an r9 290
>>330379648
But will VR still work fine for pre 2014 games? I dont buy too many modern games and got it for classics
>>330379520
Oculus wants a gtx 970, vvive wants a 980ti
I have an r9 280x and am in the "capable" range for SteamVR
What's your card, senpai?

With 3rd party drivers it will work with varying success. Dolphin has VR support too. All of that works pretty shit compared to something with actual VR support.

>This test is fairly low cost on the CPU compared to some games. It's really up to each piece of software to set their minimum CPU specs. Each headset also has different positional tracking costs, so you should follow the hardware recommendations.
If your CPU failed a test that's not even CPU-intensive, you're screwed.
>>330379856
Buy an additional 290, and a big power supply. The two of those combined will be comparable to a 980ti, and two 390s surpass it.

>vvive wants a 980ti
What, no, 970 is fine, where the fuck did you get 980ti from?
>>330380071
>>330380296
What the fuck are you saying? A 970 is good enough for all headsets, who told you that a 980ti is needed for Vive?
>>330380320
I heard it on a podcast. I have to wait a few years before I make my next big upgrade anyway, so I'm expecting Pascal to have cheap stuff on the 970's level by then. Good to know, though.
>>330379930
if you are buying a headset for old stuff get the oculus, cheaper since you are not going to be using the stick controllers anyway
>>330379930
If you are buying for classics, which aren't built for VR, you will be using injectors. Which work best on the Rift, and take more power since they are unoptimized hacks. I mean you could inject like Thief 2 fine on lower hardware, but for say Fallout 3/New Vegas, you will still need at least a 970.

He's probably getting from it the Elite:Dangerous requirements of a 980 for use with the Vive, which a lot of people reported as the requirements for the Vive as it was the first "real" game to announce Vive support and system requirements.
I am just waiting for the new pascal gpus to come out. I dont want to upgrade to a 970+ only to have it go obsolete the same year

>exclusives
I guess Oculus just lost one exclusive in Rock Band if it gets funded.
