Oculus has published its recommended specs for the Rift, and they're teetering right between 'steep' and 'doable'. Granted, the company's very first VR headset for mass consumption won't hit shelves until 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:early next year, so hardware prices should hopefully come down a bit by the time you actua🐬lꦕly need them.

Oculus says a PC that meets these specifications should be able to "deliver a great experience"༺ for all Rift games and applications. Throughout the life of the Rift headset, all internally developed projects will be developed with this configuration in mind, though external developers could still aim higher or lower. See how your rig measures up:

• NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater
• Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
• 8GB+ RAM
• Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output
• 2x USB 3.0 ports
• Windows 7 SP1 or newer

It may seem odd for what's essentially a PC peripheral to dictate its own hardware requirements🌜, instead of just leaving that to the applications. But 🍎Oculus says a good VR experience requires a rock-solid performance baseline.

. "VR turns graphics into more of a hard real-time probl𝕴em, as each missed frame is visible. Continuously missing framerate is a jarring, uncomfortable experience. As a result, GPU headroom becomes critical in absorbing unexpected system or content ꦰperformance potholes."

Oculus also revealed that it's temporarily "paused" work on Mac and Linux support for Oculus Rift to focus its attention on optimizing for Windows. T🎉he company doesn't have a timeline for when it will retur🅷n to Mac and Linux.
