Does or has anyone read if the xbox scorpio which I believe comes out next year, will be able to run the oculus rift? Sorry if this topic has been brought up before, I just didn't see anything in the forums or I'm just blind. Thanks alex!
Gtx 960? That's really disappointing. Seeing as how a 960 can't do much today, it's gong to be pathetic when it launches next year. Xbox one all over again.
GTX960?
It will have the performance similar to a GTX980Ti or GTX1070
I'm looking forward to when the Intel iGPUs are fast enough for VR. I think we are only two generations from that. The GT4e in some Skylake processors is over 1 TFLOP now. Next year we might see an Intel NUC which can meet the minimum specs for Oculus. If that's the case why get an Xbox?
"if Scorpio is at least equivalent to a $500 PC, it should be capable of supporting the Rift thanks to ASW. In terms of graphics card, specifically, that was stated at OC3 to be an NVIDIA GTX 960"
So apparently this guy meant to say a 500$ PC is a gtx 960 and not that Scorpio would have a 960 equivalent. Clear as mud.
Still, even a gtx 1070 will be snoozefest by this time next year. I would not even buy a 1070 now, never mind one whole year from now. Waiting on 1080ti

@zboson Intel and VR? What? Was that a joke? They would have to start treating gaming seriously first, and judging by they history of creating drivers for their GPUs, I wouldn't hold my breath.
@all
About scorpio and power - people, please stop using GFLOPs to measure the performance. Believe it or not, but there were games in the times when graphics cards had no shaders. Not a single GFLOP, really. What you should focus on is the pixel fillrate (actual, don't look at what Nvidia writes on paper, for example), the question is how much geometry and textures it can push at the required rate and resolution. If it's incapable, like Xone, you cannot do anything. But if it's capable but with weak shaders, so little GFLOPs amount, you can just lower the lighing quality and get there, which is exactly what mobile and PSVR games do very often. Scorpio will be much faster than PS4pro, also in terms of pixel fillrate, if MS says there will be many games in native 4K. It won't allow for games which require the fastest CPU, because it still will have a crappy one, most likely still some crap designed for tablets and low power laptops, but then again there will probably be no games in PC VR that would require really fast CPU, as publishers hate to limit their potential buyers base. So, you can expect few games staying on PC forever, but those will be exceptions for many years to come, until mainstream CPUs get cheap, or new generation of console shows up, or a miracle happens and someone starts to work for HQ PC VR, which won't happen.

Still lots of respect for the team-Carmack, Abrash.
Oculus is driven by big corporation principles now. That brings painful effects already, more to come in the future. This is not the Oculus I once cheered for.
Starting from this year, because of DX12 on both MS console, and MS Windows, CPU scaling will be tapped in to. Going forth, having multicore beyond 4C will benefit; granted DX12. In order for Scorpio to be priced at the "$500" level with 4k capabilities by Fall/Winter of 2017 you looking on cut-down version of GP102, dual GPU configuration; again DX12 or Nvidia pull out Volta at a price point for Scorpio that can deliver native 4k performance.
Probably will know more by Spring of '17. If there isn't any natural disaster from now till then that will effect pricing on silicon and output production cost, I think MS can make it's mark.
I hope so, I am not a console fan, but we need to fireback at the PSVR lol and that would help! Although it would bring tons of console ports to PC, and I HATE ports...

Sorry to bring the bad news, but it's already a lost cause. PC VR is not treated seriously by any company and it won't change anytime soon, because even if it does (it won't, but let's assume for a moment it can) it will still take 1-3 years to develop a game. Forget about PC VR exclusives. If not for Sony, we'd have the mobile VR as the lowest denominator. So, now we should pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster for a miracle which would be Xbox Scorpio with CPU 2x as fast as Xone. That would raise a bar a little. Apart from that, it will take years until GPUs significantly faster than GTX970 become cheap enough for the masses. So the better consoles, the better level of most of PC VR games. And of course ports will stink, as always, but with VR requiring certain framerate to avoid motion sickness, they won't go as low as Batman:AK port.

I think they are dropping small hints. It comes bundled with the Xbox controller and it supports Minecraft. It would be the easier of the two to hook up and setup. I really hope so because I just made the plunge and bought my Rift last Friday. Really enjoying myself with this.
I bet there will be a Xbox edition Rift... so us PC users will have to fork out for a new HMD if we want it on xbox. Same happens with all xbox licensed peripherals.
