I have this following PC:

I5-7500 3,4
16 GB ddr4 2400 mhz
1060 6 gb OC
256 SSD


And i am buying a HTC vive today.

Im looking to hear from you guys, if it is possible to get a fair play out of my setup?

I would like to play indie games, but also games like serious Sam VR

and others ofc, but havent researched for other games yet.

Hope for a rather fast reply, since i am buying the headset in 5 hours.

Thanks!

My roommate has a 980 ti (better chip but same ram) and gets good performance out of it on his vive.

fantastic, what about his CPU?

/e: it seems like 980ti is 30% better than 1060 :/?

The graphic card says it is VR ready though?

If you already have the system, run the unigine superposition benchmark for vr and test it. His cpu is an i7-7700k, but I don't think vr is much more intensive on the cpu than regular gaming. Most of the workload is offloaded to the gpu in modern game engines.

nvm. found it, thanks

but what should i look for while testing?

That should run Vive stuff fine. 1060 meets the requirements for Vive/Oculus, and the i5-7500 is better than the i5-4590.

Edit: Do not connect the Vive to any USB 3.1 ports (USB-C). You'll end up blue screening the system. Use 3.0 ports.

orly

whys that

Because I've done time standard testing with the Vive, and it did that on multiple computers. Oculus is the same way...they just do not like USB 3.1 controllers.

Interesting. Wasn't doubting you, Was just curious why that was.

how do i see difference on the ports?
