No ATI/AMD here ever again, but thanks anyway.

Yup, it really is a no-brainer. Stay your arse away from it.

Apple never released a good
They are good in ripping off others though, so I guess Macs will get their Apple VR headsets.
BTW, an Apple mouse has only one button, so I guess an Apple VR headset will have only one display in it.

My rig is not capable of 1440 at 90+ fps, no, and almost no rig is. For any even slightly demanding 3D application you'd be looking at a pair of Titans in a SLI configuration or something equally ridiculous.
I'm waiting for the next gen. Nvidia Pascal should arrive this year and from wall accounts we're going to see quite a speed upgrade. |

Doesn't include the 3D version though - this is coming "at a later date".
Or: we like what LOTR did, prepare to be fleeced again later! |

| Csimbi, have you even tried Oculus? I have on a few occasions and it's actually quite cool. And btw, to my knowledge last time I tested oculus was on a haunted house game and it worked with a 960 4GB GTX card perfectly fine. |

Yeah, it's quite cool - but for things other than real gaming.
I'd imagine it'd be best used in virtual explorations/tours - you know, Google Street view (or similar), home design apps, some educational apps, research and so on.
Gaming (real gaming, that is) is a far too intensive activity for extended use.
You'll be quickly fatigued/disoriented, so it's best if you do slow-paced things like the examples I mentioned above. |

You had to remind me how old I am. 
I guess today he'd say: 64GB should be enough for anyone. |

Didn't find at all I was fatigued/disoriented. Never thought of Street View, haha that would be interesting. |
