That's why we're all interested right?
There aren't really people who want immersive truck driving are there?

How GPU/CPU intensive is the Oculus?

>>322872747
I own a DK2 here, used it for show, it's quite a decent experience, the displays are fucking pixel 640x480 looking bullshit, so you can "tell" that it's not crystal clear, but if you look past it and try to have some fun, it's quite decent, and I'm a picky motherfucker, I hate videogames and have this ULTRA HIGH standard.

The rift2 when you use a controller will make you have motion sickness after a while.

Plugging it into the flight game in UE4 is fun but that shit runs like ass, and if a game isn't 75FPS then it runs like dog shit, it stutters, and lags behind so it's all kinds of fucked up, killing any experience.

But it's a decent experience when it works, I won't play horror games, that shit is just 2 spooky.

They must be hiding something, I'm guessing like $650.

>>322873856
I dunno. Palmer said that the price of a Rift Ready PC + Rift + Touch would be around 1500.

So I'm hoping 399 for the Rift, but it's probably gonna be upwards of 499.

>>322874893
I'm seeing 400$ because of the controller mostly, but the games don't add to the cost of the device. More than likely facebook payed a flat sum to push those games out for free on the rift.

Any waifu simulators out or did Jewbook blocked those too along with porn?

>>322874893
they confirmed that it was going to cause more than the dev kits, so it has to be more than $350.

i hope not by too much.

it seems like the vive is going to be the top notch premium product and the rift will be the affordable option.

It's an xbone controller, they got it from microsoft directly so it won't jack up the price that much, and the reason they put it in is so that every dev making a game for the Rift could assume their users have one.

Probably depends on what you plan to do with it.

>>322875689
I plan to play video games. I'm guessing it's compatable with just regular old video games that don't have rift support

>>322872747
I've used them for research in a lab setting before. It was a stupid experiment if you ask me, but funded research nonetheless.

>>322875536

>>322875772
Compatible? You're probably gonna be able to play them on a virtual desktop, yeah. But the image quality on that is going to be worse than on a good monitor.
There's also stuff live VorpX that you could use to hack VR support into games, but I really don't know how well that actually works.

>>322875772
no, not at all. the game has to be configured for vr.

>>322875772
Good luck finding an affordable 60hz 4k monitor.

>>322875639
4k is fucking shit.

I have 4k monitor, it's garbage in windows 10 if you want to run a 1080p monitor next to it, if you fire up the 4k monitor first before the 1080p you won't have REAL issues, if you want to play games get a GTX 970/980 if you want to run things half decent.

I WISH I got https://www.pccasegear.com/products/28275 instead, because the extra hz would have been nicer, and 2500 res is above 1080p and would have looked still great, I might get one this year along side a pascal 3d card.

4k looks nice, don't get me wrong, but if you don't have XFIRE/SLI or a high end card, then you're wasting your cash, because you will have to run everything medium/low if you have a budget pc.

>>322875639
Get a 120hz monitor instead, it makes a big difference.

>>322876061
If you have a budget PC, you have no business using a Rift CV1 either.

>>322875951
I have the rift 2 and tried vorpx, I was fucking around with left4dead 2, it was working OK, but then there was a METRIC FUCKTUN of tweaks, at the end of it I took the headset off and my vision was FUCKED like crosseyed for a few hours.

There has been only one NSFW demo for the DK2 that I would actually call "great". The atmosphere is perfect. The model is nice. The animations are smooth. The controls aren't shit. (One of the biggest flaws is that most demos don't give you anything beyond the standard Unity control bindings, so most of the time you can't repositiion the "camera", so you have to move the sensor or your seating position.) It has one of my fetishes. It's great.

>>322877023
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_handicap_of_a_head_start

Buying into a GTX 980 TI now, would be fucking stupid, the definition of a moron, the price is $1000+ for 1 card, for 2 cards that's $2000.

$2000 I could spend now, or wait 6 months for pascal, that's 10 times the power with 1 card, even if it costs $2000 I'll be ahead and the fucking card will last another 2 years or till Volta comes out, depends how often upgrading tickles your dick.

ANYONE that invests in a GTX 980 or EXPENSIVE card now has mental issues.

For further explanation.

Say, 1 GTX 980 is 100% power, adding another is +80%, so now you have 180% total power, pascal tech is suppose to be 10 times the power, which is 1000% power compared to a GTX 980.

You gain 820% more power for 1 card than with 2 GTX 980's, EVEN if pascal was twice as powerful than a GTX 980, you're better off with pascal tech because you won't have to deal with SLI BULLSHIT.

>>322877626
>the price is $1000+ for 1 card

You fucking what

>>322877680
http://computers.scorptec.com.au/search#w=GTX%20980

Being australian is suffering, if you were going to buy a GTX 980, get a seahawk so you can overclock.

>>322876824
>going a single card for a gtx 980 is fucking stupid
Yes, yes indeed it is especially when even the 980Ti was later released better perf/dollar than the 980 even currently.

I fell for VR direct mode and "full" DX12 support, was intent on getting a saphire 290X for nearly half the price otherwise.

Still too early to tell whether Nvidia or AMD would be better for VR. Pascal introducing async compute is an omen to bad times ahead for maxwell.

But what's done is done, I hope someone makes a hardware agnostic version of MRS, or nvidia makes it such that it can be enabled regardless whether the game uses gameBorksVR or not.

MRS seems extremely useful for increasing framerate in VR. Would be a shame if it was locked to games using gameWorksVR.

>pascal
>10x the power
u wot m8?

they stated 10x compute and that is in some special "deep learning" algorithm they tested it on which is extremely biased in their favor.

Compute power on some special algorithm is no performance indicator for gaymen. Wait until benchmarks are out showing performance under practical use.

I think it will be another incremental upgrade, if it is twice the power that would be great but knowing nvidia they will want to milk the goyem for a few more generations since shrinking to the next node is taking longer and longer.

Case in point, 28nm.

16nm is pascal.

With directx 12 and pascal, maybe you might see the sweat off my balls for the higher texture density.

After this, gaming is going to have to "go back" to FUN games, because graphical fidelity is at a peak where it's not going to make a difference.

Oh wait they will make a scene about 8k and 60FPS or other unimportant shit, 60FPS is important though.

It's almost as fast as two 970s in SLI.

will it work for people who have glasses ?

>>322880087
Yes, it has like a screw on the side that pushes the display out.

>>322876238
NOPE

>>322879175
8K and higher important for VR though since the quality of looking at a display through lenses is lower than that of a display of equivalent resolution without the optics.

5K per eye is the minimum required, 16k per eye is the limit apparently beyond which you won't see a noticeable difference at max FoV.

Combine foveated rendering and that future doesn't look to distant. Display tech is advancing faster than hardware can keep up with these days.

With monitors the larger and large the resolution the larger the monitor you require at the same viewing distance to notice a difference.

With VR it is similar deal, but you benefit more from large PPI since the screen is right in your face with optics so you don't get eye strain allowing your eyes to focus at a more comfortable distance.

The display wraps around your field of vision which would require more pixels at the same PPI. Can't wait for foveated rendering, at some point an HMD will require less computation power to drive games/programs compared to a monitor with the same pixel density.

At some point when the PPI is high enough that going higher would be indistinguishable monitors will start to feel like a downgrade.

I don't think monitors will be replaced anytime soon, especially in applications where you want more than one person to be able to see the content without blocking their vision or requiring their own special device. Even then we might see AR receiving such widespread adoption that every mother and her unborn child has access to them much like smart phones these days. Shouldn't be impossible to have public content that everyone could connect to and see.

AR IS THE FUTURE
>YES THE OCULUS TOUCH CONTROLLES ARE GONNA BE HUGE
>YOU CAN LITERALLY USE YOUR HANDS AS CONTROLLERS WITH THE VIVE THIS IS THE FUTURE

When will you retards STOP FALLING FOR THIS CRAP AGAIN AND AGAIN? No one wants to wave their arms around to controll their game, no one wants to play their videogames standing upright for anything other than short lived simulators/experiences. The great appeal of these goggles are that they replace exactly the element of gaming that is actually completely interchangable, the monitors.

Once you start dreaming of alternate controlls and augmented reality and horrible touch controllers you are so deep into Kinect terretory that i can literally taste Gate's asshole. Don't get the vive for 200 dollarydoos more than the rift because you like teh premise of AR which you will not use for anything other than 3 tech demos, Don't pick up the stupid oculus touch controlls unless you are the type of autist to actually use it for something creative like live modelling or 3d paintings.

Trust me as someone with the disposable income to own both rift develoopment kits, to have developed with it for several years now, and to have tested the oculus touch controlls and the previous vive model. DON'T BUY INTO THE KINECT MEME-TIER TECHNOLOGY. JUST GET THE HEADSET WITH YOUR PREFERED FOV AND SPECS TO YOUR LIKING. Don't do it because fuckerberg wants your sheckles either, do it because those vr monitors actually work with no delay and perfect tracking. Trust me, those controllers do NOT! And if you honestly trust valvue to push technology so far that a SINGLE NON 3d CAMERA can track your hands better in a 3d space than oculus' hand dildos i honestly want you to be as dissapointed as you are doomed to be.

I honestly fear that the shitty focus on AR and motion controlls is gonna drag VR down with it.

>>322888269
Oculus has repeatedly said it won't meet their 350 goal and HTC has repeatedly said Vive would be significantly more expensive than Oculus plus includes motion controllers. Those are lowest possible prices, I expect both to be higher.

>>322891361

Nigga the reason why this thing requires USB 3.0 is because it's going to use a lot of bandwidth. You can't just ghetto rig a bunch of USB ports together and expect it to work.

>>322891343
The Siig uses a better chipset but that should be okay if your motherboard supports it.

>>322890609
I think the best USB3.0 extension method would be the ones you hook up directly on the mother board's dedicated USB3.0 pins that slot into the front.

I heard you have to be careful with PCIE ones since the cameras use high bandwidth you might end up maxing out the PCIE lane if you plug both cameras and the HMD USB3.0 into the same adapter. But I am talking out of my ass here with no source so do some research on it or ask the people at oculus.

I don't know how much of a difference in bandwidth there is between the smaller PCIE and USB3.0 directly on the mobo. Perhaps it is plenty enough.

Thing only costs $20 try it out, or ask palmer after preorders open.

>>322891519

>I heard you have to be careful with PCIE ones since the cameras use high bandwidth you might end up maxing out the PCIE lane if you plug both cameras and the HMD USB3.0 into the same adapter.
That's true. It's an issue with Kinect if you don't put it on it's own USB 3.0 controller.

Didn't HDMI inputs had problems displaying things above 60hz? How are those VR headsets dealing with that?

>>322891834
Are you sure they are using hdmi?

>>322891834
1440p 90Hz should be roughly 7.4Gbit/s bandwidth. HDMI 1.4 can do 8.16Gbit/s when other overheads are removed. HDMI 2.0 can do 14.4Gbit/s.

>>322891794
this sounds retarded, but if you are desperate buy 2 cards.

Plug 1 camera into each, and plug the third usb3.0 into whatever one shouldn't matter at that point since you'd have bandwidth to spare. It is mainly the cameras that use the most bandwidth.

I think I read somewhere the HMD uses USB3.0 because it requires full duplex communication(both write and read simultaneously) which USB2.0 does not have.

Otherwise it can easily make do with USB2.0 since it doesn't require much bandwidth.

I have seen various comments to this effect on a number of different USB 3 cards I've looked at. Is this some inherent flaw with PCI-e, or can I get around it if I find the right card?

No you don't. Plus you can always get your CDL and realize that euro truck is 'enjoyable' because you aren't doing it for 10 hours a day. Out of everyone I know that does it that shit for a living says they don't enjoy it. A jobs a job.

They'll still need someone there for a few more years due to the insecurity of cars without a driver. Then protection depending on loads. After that has happens, rip transporting jobs.

>>322892576
Why are they making us go through bullshit like this? What the fuck. Many boards don't have USB 3.0.

1 hour to website crash

So i noticed they were shipping the DK with DVI to HDMI adapter, that shit should work with the regular version as well, right?

To me, it seems the Vive can do everything the Rift can do, plus move about a room in a 3d space

>>322893452
The Rift can do that too, if you put the cameras in the right spots.

OH SHIT THE SHOP IS UP

>>322893586
>>322893452
yeah

rift can scale up the cameras to increase the moveable space

>>322893452
plus it has a front facing camera so you can push a button to overlay what is in real life into your vr image so you can actually look around and find your damn mouse/controller/keyboard keys without taking off the headset.

>>322893452
I don't mind vive and prefer a few things about it like the tracking system and camera.

But Oculus touch is more appealing to me, if Vive was shipping first in its current condition I'd be all over it.

>>322893258
I've never heard of half the shit in that poll. Are there really so many VR headsets in development? Those are just quick cashgrabs from chink companies right?

I'd only use it for 2 things. Sim games and porn.

Still waiting for a proper VR MMORPG

>>322893787
its more for research than anything

>>322893754
i want a VR browser so i can shitpost on 4chan with my headset on

for one, hololens isn't vr... its ar/augmented reality. i bet at least a few of those shouldn't be there.

not until it becomes cheaper

>>322893878
shitposting in VR is the future

Thank you based zuckerberg for giving me the chance to purchase one of your fine Virtual Reality headset's.

>>322893878
There are already anons who do that with their DK2s.

40 minutes, fuck
I don't want to be disappointed when the price comes out

>>322894019
dont get your hopes up

>>322893668
I'm personally waiting for the vive, I've seen the Dota and Portal experiences, as well as some indie companies games put forward, and I'd rather wait for it. Rift will have an advantage going forward first, but the way i see it, id rather get the device backed by the game makers, rather than the money making company.

New Vive dev kits went out recently and they are pretty sleek

>>322894073
part of me wants to be disappointing so I can give up on the hype and wait it out to see how it fares like any sane person would.

>>322894084
but any dev making a game for just one headset is planning for disaster

headset exclusive games would kill VR

>>322894010
what's the browser called?

>>322894195
Virtual desktop

Gotta find a way to have effective movement in VR while first person as well. Can't imagine there'd be much point in a VR focused MMO if you were just some floating camera point above your character. That's probably the first thing we'll see though, tech's too new.

>>322894454
apparently third person VR is actually quite good

already went full retard with a new purpose built rig for it, in for an inch in for a mile. It won't be more than 500

just fuck my shit up senpai

>>322894487
Sure, but first person avatars plus multiplayer let you do the really cool social stuff. Apparently, the head tracking alone gives you a surprising range of nonverbal cues. There's a reason why they Toybox demo blew everyones' minds all over the room.
