I am thinking about getting an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, but I want to know if I need to upgrade my system. Here is my current parts list: CPU: Intel Xeon X5650 CPU Cooler: Cryorig H5 Universal Motherboard: Intel DX58SO Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB Case: NZXT S340 Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular
The device struggles to keep up with its tasks. I wouldn't recommend using it.
Ram and GPU perform well. I'm uncertain about the CPU since I'm not familiar with it.
Check a few VR performance tests, such as the VR Mark Orange room and a Steam VR benchmark. It seems the setup is near the lowest possible standards—could succeed or fail depending on that. The Rift demands less power than the Vive.
