The good news about Microsoft Flashback. Or is it a rumor? Maybe not to buy GTX 1080?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSdr8gjZa6I

I've been searching the web and trying to find a good comparison purely on noise between latest version coolers from the different manufacturers, but haven't been able to find anything. When I go to most forums it's a religious war without any real facts. So please make a vote and if you have any facts for your vote, please be so kind as to throw a link in the comments.By the way, my personal preference is MSI from past experience, but I have no experience with either ASUS or EVGA. In my country the prices are as noted... if MSI was the cheapest I wouldn't even be asking, as I find their previous generations dead silent. But it's a lot of extra money if the others are just as good.

Ladies and gentleman of the Oculus lounge,I know you are all as thrilled about the onset of virtual reality as I am, but in over a year worth of streaming, I don't think I've made myself known in these waters. So, let me introduce myself:http://www.Twitch.tv/Zimtok5My name is Brad (a.k.a Zimtok5, or 'Zim') and I'm a half-blooded elf (err, well a half American - half Irish guy; and yes, the real Irish, not the 'my 9th grandfather was Irish'). My passion is for gaming and social exploration through gaming. More than a year ago on July 29th, 2014, I started streaming a rediculous amount of days (6 out of 7) showcasing the DK2 on Twitch. For someone will a full time career and a young family, putting on the show has taken quite a lot of dedication. Then, around Dec 2014, I pulled it back to 4-nights a week, to balance things out. We've been going steady with that ever since and more recently I've been rolling re-runs on top of the live stream to help those who want to vicariously exp

I have an idea and I am surprised that is not used in VR.if I play a simple game and I want to look around freely and use the keys and mouse - I can not see them .Camera on the helmet and appropriate software allowing to you to set the view of what we have before us will be grat.Virtual cockpit - Some people have all the cockpits recreated - but can not see them ( see button or throttle ) must act blindly.Even if wee paint its green ( joystick , mouse , etc. ) to make it as a reversal of a green screen  . To see in VR  what is real in front of you and  i needed to play. Maby a lot of people they prefer to sit comfortably in your VR to see a desk and looking at ease in the game world. I know that the issue of power is important to use VR - but placing the camera (s ) would be a good option for the future as computers and software allow such a solution.I'm sorry for the mistakes in writing . Best regards and wish you a successful product development . I do not ha

Hi everyone.I have an i5-3470 cpu @ 3.20ghz processor. I know it recommends something better to run with the oculus rift but i was just wandering if the oculus rift will work with my current processor or if i have to get an upgrade. Thanks in advance.

Hello! People tell me, is it possible somewhere in Finland to buy a CV1? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Only 3 of my friends have Vive's or the games that I play so I'm looking for some competition to aim for or surpass in SPT and Audioshield. Please either PM me your Steam handle or post it here or add robcram to your friends list.Let the games begin.BTW, I've seen tranceology3 on one of the leaderboards at least but not anyone else from here.

Hello everyone!!I was looking something cool about virtual reality as t-shirts or some other gadgets and i've find out this really interesting page.It sells not only t-shirts but also pillows,smartphone/ipad cases and stuff.Check it out: http://www.redbubble.com/people/simoliccy/works/13167751-virtual-reality?p=t-shirt

What CPU will work best with my Nvidia GeForce GTX 980. Haswell or Skylake? Keep in mind I just blew a month's worth of pay on my current setup plus the Rift so I'm not looking to spend too much.Right now I'm running an i5-2400. The cheapest of the i5's. Not sure if it's bottlenecking or not but I still want something at least Haswell to complement the GPU and use it's full potential. Is it worth the $200+ upgrading or will I not even notice the difference?

So one of my best friends Cola is in the U.S. Navy and on his last deployment to sea he took this picture:I think it's just a really super awesome picture for a few reasons. For one, it's really pretty. For two, it's not contrived. He's not a photographer and he didn't like try to set up this shot. He had seen a whale and was trying to take a picture of it with his phone camera. He took 3 shots and never got the whale, but instead got this really epic sunset. I think it's just really awesome because it's so pretty and not contrived. This image should be somewhere on the Pacific ocean btw.

This isn't a hardware forum, but i guess a good portion in here know a bit about trouble shooting a computer, maybe you could give me some advice. My PC has issues on start up and many times it just starts up blank, the screen just stays black. It's usually after exiting the bios. Which i also find strange that it goes straight the bios on start up most of the time, but not every time. Sometimes it just goes to a blinking blinking text cursor/underscore When i play a youtube video the screen goes black shortly and it happens when i enlarge the screen also, and some random instances also. After being woken from hibernation i've had to turn of the computer by holding the power button twice now. A few times i've had visual artifacts when on windows 10 logo screen on start up, in the form of blue lines with the same couler as the windows logo across the black part.Also it starts up in inconsistent speeds and some time never shows the windows logo, but goes straght from black to login scree

When I look at my About page. It says 223 visits. I feel like I've come here way more than that.  Cybereality has 151 visits. Can someone answer this riddle? Is this the number of times you've been visited by the forum police?

I am KS backer #43** from germany. Still nothing information about the delivering date or something. There other KS backer without a rift?

So after 4 hours into the rift CV1 my eyes and forehead took quite a hit :D I took a selfie just to find myself totally exhausted. How does vr affect your general face, eyes, forehead area?

Whats going on my order been held back another month and im hearing that you can buy at best buy !! What the !! Not very happy .

On my wish list for VR is 3D photos, like what was available for View Master when I was a kid. 

I'm from Canada, and when i placed my order it says the estimated shipping date it's not until August. Hey since we are going to wait anyway we should just play OverWatch :)
