We have officially entered 2016, which is set to be the biggest year for virtual reality yet. With the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive just on the horizon, Nvidia has implemented a new ‘VR Ready' program, which will help those looking to get a new rig ensure that it is capable of pushing the frame rates required for a smooth virtual reality experience.
The scheme is a little similar to Nvidia's 4K Battlebox program, which saw the company work with PC and notebook makers in order to approve systems capable of providing the best experience. According to Nvidia, driving VR requires seven times the graphics processing power of traditional games, this is largely down to the fact that you need to be driving frame rates above 90 frames per second for two images (one per eye).
Jason Paul, GM of emerging technologies at Nvidia explained that “for customers, navigating an emerging technology like VR can be daunting. We're working with trusted partners worldwide to simplify the buying process with a GeForce GTX VR Ready badge that will let customers quickly identify PCs or add-in cards that are capable of handling the demands of VR.”
This way, those looking to buy a pre-built system for virtual reality gaming will know if it is up to the task beforehand. Additionally, it sounds like those looking to build their own rig will be able to look for ‘VR Ready' GPUs, which will include the GTX 970 and above.
KitGuru Says: 2016 is going to be very exciting for virtual reality enthusiasts. Are any of you planning on picking up a VR headset this year? Will you be getting a new rig or upgrading your GPU for the occasion?
Both the Headset and a GPU upgrade but the real question is an age old one. Which brand?
They say AMD has the edge when it comes to VR but i think it won’t take nvidia long to catch up.
I have no brand loyalty, i just want butter smooth VR.
i’d hold off for a year at least on the vr front, let the market mature some. there are so many vr sets coming out i’d bet a good number of them die off within months.
Also dropping money on a current gen gfx card doesn’t make any sense for me. this is just a marketing push by nvidia to squeeze as much profit as they can from their current gen offerings. Next gen AMD or Nvidia GPU is the way to go
LOOKS LIKE ITS GOING TO BE PRICED OUT OF REACH. NOT ENOUGH GAMES ARE GOING TO BE SOLD, SO SOFTWARE WON’T BE DEVELOPED. VR REST IN PEACE.
I THINK THEY ARE AIMING FOR THE 499 DOLLAR/EURO PRICE POINT
