Currently my system specs are:

Intel i7 4790 @4 GHz
nVidia GTX 980 Ti  (EVGA FTW edition)
16 GB RAM
Windows 7 64-bit

I've been able to run everything I've thrown at it without a hitch, although some games (i.e. Project CARS, Elite: Dangerous) stutter at higher graphic settings, so I have to adjust accordingly.

I haven't tried super-sampling yet (at least via the Vive's settings), so I may look at upgrading my GPU to take real advantage of that.  But I'm waiting to see what all the current next-gen GPU options will be.

Yes, we all understand the uncreative and tired argument you are making.  Thanks.

For anyone who thinks that VR is merely a passing fad, there's some pretty substantial capital being laid out to keep it going:


--- Quote ---When Razer announced its $5 million developer fund for indie virtual reality developers, we were rather excited about the potential of this investment to help drive the production of new VR games and experiences. But as it turns out, that was merely a drop in the bucket, though, as HTC has just announced a new VR development fund driven by a number of companies, with a total of $10 billion in available capital.

HTC had also previously announced their own $100M VR venture capital fund.  And of course you have Facebook investing $2B in Oculus, Valve devoting a substantial part of their company to VR, and other companies like nVidia, AMD, Sony, Microsoft, Samsung, etc, investing in VR, I'd say things are looking good for the immediate future.

This isn't your 90's VR anymore...
