Oculus-Ready??!!
I thought the whole point was that most of our existing high-end(ish) PCs were already ready?
Not AMD cpus though, I'm guessing...
Depends which GPU you've got...Quote:

Makes sense to partner up with AMD considering the demand virtual reality headsets will place on asynchronous compute engine of the cards. Plus is seems like Liquid VR has had a lot of time and effort put into it from AMD.
Not async compute at all, just low latency path to render.
And that's what Async compute offers.

The CV1 requires a 970 or 290, your 780 lacks important features that the 970 has (MRS) that might bring it up to parity with the 290 otherwise.Quote:

Oh well. No VR for me this decade, then....
Probably best to wait. Having used all the DKs, I am at the point where waiting is a darn sight better then buying a ton of travel sickness pills and putting myself through sickness training sessions to be able to game!Quote:

It's a good move from Oculus to partner with well known and trusted names.
As far as AMD goes, they only had a 50/50 choice...Quote:

So whaddya reckon - New GPU now, or wait for the next gen (R9 490X, or whatever it will be) to become affordable?
