Is Your System VR Ready?
May 11, 2016 | By Anthony
By now you’ve probably either heard of virtual reality (VR) headsets or you’ve been one of the people lucky enough to try out one of the devices like the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, or the smartphone-only Samsung Gear VR. In the case of the Vive and the Oculus Rift, these two devices are designed to work on a PC but because of their robust capabilities, they also require a significant amount of horsepower.
A VR system requires over six times the graphical processing power of today’s standard 3D games and apps thanks to its powerful set of unique features which include but are not limited to multi-res shading. These graphics must work in sync with the system processor to ensure that there is no slowdown in movement regardless of which direction you decide to move your head. After all, a sluggish PC will only break the immersive experience and may even give you a headache.
To ensure you’re receiving optimal performance you’re going to want the best in graphics and among those are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX cards. All you need to do is look for the label that says “GeForce GTX VR Ready” and you can rest assured knowing that the PC will deliver the performance and optimization necessary for an optimal VR experience.
Our range of VR-ready gaming computers come in a great variety of options depending on what kind of performance you’re looking to get. The EON17-SLX is a great desktop replacement for gaming on the go or you may wish to upgrade to the powerful MILLENNIUM Gaming Desktop or GENESIS Gaming Desktop.
