Yes, you can try VR.
Yes, you can try VR.
I’m new to setting up a VR system and don’t have much experience with it. My current setup includes an E3-1270v2 (Ivy Bridge CPU) with 3.5GHz base, 3.9GHz turbo, 4 cores, 8 threads. I have an EVGA Superclocked GTX 1080 with 16GB DDR3 at 1333MHz, 500GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD, two WD black 1TB HDDs, and a Corsair TX650 80+ bronze PSU on an ASRock Z77 motherboard. I’m using two 1080P monitors for work and one 144Hz 1440P monitor for gaming. I’m hoping this rig could handle VR or at least figure out why it’s not performing well.
For VR gaming, everything is okay. If you're talking about VR production, the outcome depends on your specific tasks. I've switched to PC gaming.
You're experiencing problems with your existing setup. Which applications are you running and what tasks are you performing? Please share a relevant comment or mention a user so I can alert them accordingly.
I haven't tested my rig or bought any device yet. I just wanted to confirm if using such equipment would work for games like Worlds at War, since I understand VR has different needs than regular gaming. I aimed to ensure it runs smoothly at higher settings and frame rates.
VR gaming shares the same basic needs as other PC games, except for requiring strong and steady frame rates. Performance drops can be noticeable. Are you thinking about working in VR production? —Your question isn’t clear from what you said.
He wants to know if his current setup works well for VR. My reply confirms everything is ready for VR and there are no problems. You can also try a Steam test created by Valve to check compatibility. Edited March 20, 2018 by SansVarnic
