VR and unfeasibly large IPD

[CMDR Heisenberg B. Damned]

OK I'm looking at getting a high end laptop at some point in the next few months. Looking at the spec's it should be able to run VR woot but the research I've done has thrown up an issue. Doh

The IPD seems OK for most people but I'm more at the extremes with an IPD of 73 mm - bit like that

Has anyone with an unfeasibly large IPD tried VR and if so does it work still or will I have to wait till they finesse the units to be more adjustable?

The two new versions have two screens with true adjustment (how much remains to be seen)

Are you sure you have an IPD that big, I thought I had something like 72, but then I had my optometrist measure it, and it turned out to be 68, which is quite reasonable.

Wow - that's like the 98th percentile! That's a huge ipd.

How high end is the laptop going to be? You need a 970 minimum for ok performance, and that's a desktop 970. I know Chillblast do some 970M laptops in the UK, but for the weight, and money, you'd be better and cheaper with a desktop. Otherwise, YMMV.

I've been looking for a laptop which can drive the DK2 decently without costing over $1500, and I've not found one yet. You really need to shoot for performance for VR otherwise the stuttering will make you physically sick.
