Posted June 14, 2017 Hi, I am looking to buy an oculus rift and touch (Take your squabbling somewhere else) and am only looking to play light games - Rec Room, Job Simulator, not anything like robo recall. What is the lowest graphics card I would need. Also I don't get motion sick. Thanks P.s I have a 750ti FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 14, 2017 GTX970 should be fine (and cheapest option if you buy a secondhand one). But I would recommend a GTX1060 6GB if you can pay a little more for what you need.

Posted June 14, 2017 Ideally a 480/1060, but the minimum specs to run an Oculus rift is a 1050ti. Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

You will need a 480 or 1060 for the HTC vive though (Oculus uses Asynchronous Spacewarp to fill in the gaps and lower minimum specs). Edit: Forgot to ask about your CPU?

Posted June 14, 2017 17 minutes ago, Splodge1231 said: So nothing cheaper. And the 970 is worse than the 1060? 1060 is slightly better/faster (about 10% average) at pretty much everything than a 970, and considerably better re VRAM at 6GB vs 4GB (3.5 usable) on the 970. There may be cheaper/better AMD alternatives but i have no experience of them.

Posted June 14, 2017 1060 but if you can stretch, a 1070 will be worth it. Don't try to go for minimum requirements, you'll just end up regretting it when new games release that you can't run. You need high FPS for VR That's an F in the profile pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular motion sickness is caused by motion, VR sickness is not. I don't get motion sick either but VR has thrown a curve ball at me multiple times before.
