Starting to seriously look into getting a vive and have a few questions.

[Matahashi]

My first and biggest concern is that I have a ASUS Stryx GTX 970 for my GPU, and am using all 4 display outputs on it. Ive never messed with running a GPU stand alone for just display ports. I have an older AMD card for a backup in case shit hits the fan, would it be possible to slap that into my rig and use it just for the HDMI for the vive?

Second, is there any benefit of using USB 3.0? it says 2.0 is fine but nothing about any improvements if using 3.0.

Third, I intend to have the room scale part far enough away from my computer that my current headset wont reach. How is the experience just playing through the speakers? Should I get a wireless headset?

Fourth, How does it work if i want to swap from room scale to sit down? As stated earlier I want the room scale to be a decent distance away from my PC and the lighthouse boxes wouldnt be covering where I sit. Is this not an option? or is there a little stand thing like the oculus has that sit on your desk that I just havent seen?

I appreciate all the help <3

EDIT: it look like in the FAQ it says that you do need one of the sensor boxes to be in front of you at your computer for sit down experiences. Are they easily removable from the mounts?

But using the mounting hardware included it shouldn't be hard to relocate a box, even easier if it's mounted near where you intend to sit so you don't have to completely redo any cable management. That's all the help I can give you
