you can do skyrim with the rift and have been able to since the first dev kits. it should be pretty nice on the upcoming consumer version. not sure about the htc vive

i'm trying to make extra money so i can put some back each month after saving my bills, because i need a new pc too. so leave this world and go into VR forever

>>27278886
I had no idea! Ballpark on how much the rift would run me? And for saving money, as long as your credit isn't awful, you could get some decent stuff and just lay it off over a year or so. It'll help you build your credit, and you won't have to worry about so much coming due all at once. People are just afraid of credit cards for some reason.

Overclocking? And isn't the big appeal of intel vs AMD that intel is more powerful per core, even though they typically have fewer cores? So all else being equal, if you're in a similar price point, wouldn't it make sense? Your overall performance has decreased, but your machine is more efficient, if I'm not mistaken.

Pretty sure the rift is coming out at 599. and the vive a little bit more than that. i stopped paying attention to too much of the news when the price point came out because im a ways off from being able to put aside the cash.

I'm literally running stuff that ran at 60fps on my old components at 20-30 with the new ones. Surely it shouldn't mean that much of a performance decrease.

Maybe I'm missing a certain driver or something.

r9 280x is pretty cheap and runs most games on 1080p. GTX 970 and r9 290 or 390 would be more safe, but r9 280x can pretty much run any game on 1080p max graphics for around $130
