Test your PC to see if it can support VR

Shadragon, that score looks pretty nice and like the nice straight line. Should work quite well on your system. 980TI seems to work well thinking of getting one soon.

Reasonablt happy with that. My Processor is probably slowing things down a bit.

But the thread about a distinct lack of ED updates until June made Spam a sad sack.

I build my own gaming rigs so everything in there is hand picked. The CPU \ GPU is important, but mobo and RAM play equal roles.

Thanks Raptoid :-]

That's all at stock settings as well as the machine is still brand new and being setup. Gonna take the CPU up to 4.5 ish and might look at upping the GPU. It's the msi twin frozr version and it runs way cool.

Steam VR checking application .... over 1GB download size. What a joke.

2 pics:

Single card - R9 290, and crossfire.

If Frontier and AMD can eventually sort out the crossfire woes, then a R9-290 setup should work flawlessly. Cheap solution too.

Any news on this?? I'm likely to need an upgrade to run the Vive but don't want to fork out on the wrong kit. If X Fire VR is going to happen, I'd rather wait for that.

It will, whether it will on Elite is another question though.

Strange this is, I though my CPU would be an issue! but according to the test.... I need to upgrade the video card ?

Heater, I find it interesting in the chart you seem to start high then it drops low for the rest. Can you run something like GPU-Z in the background, also CPU-Z and see what clocks are doing on both CPU and GPU? I wonder if something is limiting there e.g. thermal throttling of the GPU? This test was enough to push my 980Ti into thermal throttling but without major impact to the results. Others with 980Ti scored a "perfect" 11 whereas I dropped slightly to 10 point something.

Did that also... clocks are stable and the temp hits about 62 and it's not being limited by thermal throttling, in fact Valve are looking at this now, as they expected it to flag the CPU and as they put it that card should "FLY" !
