VR compatible pc

[Jacatom]

Just wanted to know if my pc can handle an oculus rift, even at the bare minimum.
I’ve got a gtx 1060, 16gb of ram, and an i7 6700k. I’m not that great with computer specs, so apologies if it’s not enough info. Thanks in advance.

The basics are great, but I'd strongly recommend upgrading to a more powerful graphics card.

Reason being, when you're running a VR game you're having to render every frame twice. That puts a lot of load on the GPU. Having a high framerate is also important, since low framerates can cause motion sickness.

Take a look at the GTX1070Ti and GTX1080, but also bear in mind that Nvidia has a completely new product line coming next year.

It'll run, but it won't run smoothly and that can be a serious issue in VR. Choppy framerate usually equal puke.

I would just try it with what you have now and see how you go. If the occasional frame-rate losses aren't a problem, stick with what you have. If you find yourself feeling ill, consider upgrading the GPU.

You’ll be ok with that setup. Ran my oculus with a gtx 770 until my 1080 arrived. You’ll be ok.
