FYI: The Oculus Readyness tool does not read CPU correctly.

The readiness tool gauges against an i5 processor and is probably using generational lists to determine performance.

This is a very poor metric in many ways.

I have a Intel Extreme series 980x processor that is overclocked by 30%, with a dual rad closed loop waterblock, with 24gb of DDR3, which is also overclocked.

My processor's single core performance is several orders of magnitude faster than the minimum AMD processor and quite a bit faster than the i5 they list as a benchmark.

This is fine, generally because these things don't prevent me from launching games, but if the oculus CV1 and it's games have hard limits preventing people from launching due to specs for fear of judder there will be big issues for folks like me.

I suggest that Oculus modifies the software to use real world benchmarking on the system components to make that serious determination, as system environment can also have a huge impact on performance - and they may lose sales to people who would have otherwise purchased but think their system is too slow.

Additionally, Someone's computer filled with tons of junk software running in the background, or that is infected with one of the many worms that do things like coin mining overtly may perform far worse then an exact machine which is running cleanly.
