It doesn't launch on my AMD card.

Because it's Nvidia exlusive and I've got a R9 290x OC.
lol

just played some more Fruit Ninja. Hell of a fun!
Can "VR Funhouse" bring similar fun to the Vive or is it just some sterile tech demo?

[Melhadf]

Same card as me... same problem.

It's okay nvidia, we know ♥♥♥♥♥♥ practices are in your blood.

[mrorange]

It's a very short tech demo experience, but with best graphics and physics I ve seen so far.

[XDeadzX]

It's running Physx/Gameworks like crazy, of course it wouldn't run on an AMD card. Disappointing none the less, but far from unexpected.

PhsyX is only enabled on medium and high. Looking through the files the resolution is set to 1280x720 with supersampling kicking in at higher quality settings.

Normally I'd give them ♥♥♥♥ for locking out other cards, but this is literally just a tech demo guys, they built it for testing out physx in VR, I don't see it as particulary egregious if it only runs on Nvidia cards, I wouldn't be upset if it went the other way on an AMD tech demo, and wouldn't find it a reason to dislike AMD.

You are not missing much, its a demonstration of physics turned up in vr, certainly not a game, all in all Lab is much more fun when it comes to "Demos"

As a more than 15 years Nvidia customers, this tech demo may be what make me QUIT nvidia. While i agree Nvidia physics is a nvidia tech, all games using it aren't exclusive for this, and the option is just an option to tick in the menu. I don't understand their point of trying to do Games exclusives, especialy when speaking to VR. That kind of bad decision may just kill VR while it hardly try to became a real new game platform. So for me, i'll stick with my other vive apps and game, and my titan is definetly the last product i'll buy from nvidia unless they change their statement. Annnd i won't even bother running this tech demo unless all vive users, regardless of their gpu, can run it.

Because this isn't really a game.
It's a tech demo / test. That's why there's a huge poster in the
starting area detailing the features.
Why would an NVidia tech-demo run without said NVidia features?
It'd be completely besides the point then.

Oh so we shouldn't be worried, whew.

Why are Nvidia cards so expensive? So you can get VR tech Demos for free....

Having recently purchased a gtx 1080 (admittedly on black Friday so it was reduced by £100) I think the reason they are so expensive is because of a lack of real competition.
Polaris is a complete let down.
This isn't me being a fanboy, I really wish AMD would release a polaris card that could compete with a gtx 1080, at least Nvidia would be kept honest with their prices!
This is the same thing I'm thinking about the new amd zen chips, praying they are as good as the hype to force intel to lower their prices or offer a real alternative!

[RED-FROG]

And as long as people pay this much for a 1080, the prices do never change.

[jArmAhead]

The price for the 1080 was totally fair when you guys were whining about it, now it's great.
