So is there any benefit to oculus beating Sony to the market with Touch, if only by a few days. wonder if there are many people on the fence waiting to see all 3 company's out with HMD and hand controllers before they open their purse ?
Will we see a pre order date at OC3 or do you think they have been building up Stock ready for a full release during OC3 ?
Unlike Rift Pre-orders Oculus have a good indication of how many orders to expect and could be ready for them to go live.
I agree, games was the driving force for the PC back in the 90s. If it wasn't for games, we wouldn't had Ad Lib sound cards. We wouldn't needed GPUs. It wasn't even till the early 2000 when the scientific community used GPU to do their complex commutation.
GPU is a term invented by Nvidia, but graphics cards and 3D processors existed well before 2000. What scientific community are you referring to? Does NASA count?
Cause NASA was doing 3D along with IBM and General Electric for the military in the 1950's:
"The Navy also developed a flight simulator using 3D virtualization from MIT’s Whirlwind computer in 1951."
that depends how one defines GPU and Graphic Card. Sure there has been Graphics Card since a computer existed, it has to some how relay data to the screen. From a 1 bit monochrome monitors.
So does the 1951 system drawing ray-trace and vector graphics actually using what is consider the definition of GPU of today's "standard" or it was simply graphics card?
You're trying to dodge the answer to make it seem like you weren't wrong, but you were and are very much wrong. The scientific community invented both the graphics card and 3D processors in the 1950's for military purposes. Sometime later this technology became available to the general public, and yes, that is when we finally had video games. After which Nvidia coined the phrase "GPU" and expanded upon those graphics cards and 3D processors. There is no room to switch definitions, there are only historical and scientific facts.
What you are doing is trying to pretend that the GPU wasn't built upon the work of scientists in the 1950's, which is a complete lie.
And to use Microsoft to compare it with Oculus, is like orange and apples. Microsoft being a software developer can easily fix their codes patches after patches, revision after revision. Oculus is a hardware developer. You can't simply change the hardware, well I guess you can if you recall all the hardware.

you should show me something that the military or nasa DIDN'T use the CPU/FPU but a true dedicated "GPU" to draw their flight sims in ray-trace graphics and vector graphics. Or maybe some specs on the 1950s graphics card on how many compute units it has... polygons it can draw, etc. I am intrigue now
Yet people were still complaining about the "hot fix" they put out, not until KB3176938 that really fixed it.
OH, and no I don't actually have a computer or a Rift.. I have a direct I/O interface on the back on my spinal cord.
