"Your computer doesn't meet Rift's recommended Specs" ... but it totally does, and totally works.

[Rayvolution]

This is a very, very minor issue. I'm just curious if anyone else had it happen to them. But the Oculus store claims "Your computer doesn't meet Rift's recommended specifications, witch can lead to a poor experience in VR.", the problem is, I have a pretty beefy rig that goes beyond the minimum specs and I can play basically any VR game I can throw on it at max settings.

My basic/Rift-important specs;
i7-2600k
16gb of DDR3 3200 Ram
EVGA GTX980
On board and dedicated USB 3.0 ports

I suspect it might think my processor is "too old" even though it's totally acceptable for the Rift, it is an early first or second gen i7. Alternatively, it could be doing something wacky like not detecting my USB 3.0 ports.

Either way, it's not affected the VR experience in any way what so ever, I'm just curious if anyone else has this popup?

I have a laptop, an Asus Rog G751JY - Intel Core i7 4720HQ - 16GB Ram - Nvidia GTX 980M 4GB Vram.

I run the DK2 without any issues, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally and War Thunder all run smooth on quite high settings.

And also tried The Climb with +150% Pixels Per Display set in the Oculus Debug Tool, and it runs great and without any fps drops or hiccups.

Do you guys think a CV1 could run with my system?

I have exactly the same system. I use a CV1 on it every day.

However, I had one major problem with it.  It does not seem to work through the HDMI port. I had to find a HMDI to display port converter. I tried three converters before I found one that worked.  If you use the HDMI port it works for a few seconds to a few minutes and then the display goes away.

With the HDMI to mini-Displayport converter it works great.

Thank you so much for your reply!!

I been totally hooked by VR since I got hold of a cheap DK2 a month ago, experienced extreme nausea the first days, but after getting used to it VR is truly amazing, and really hard going back to just play on a 17.3 screen again!..  😉

The DK2 works great, but the screen door effect takes some of the immersion away on games with long visibility range and many far away objects.

So thats why I starting to consider getting a CV1, to get a bit better resolution and pixel density.

How come the HDMI don't work with laptop graphics cards and CV1?

What performance are you getting on the CV1, can you get a solid 90fps, and what games have you played with it?
