SelmaTeacher7 Mr. Berry here. Today. I want to look at the minimum computer hardware specs to run the oculus rift
And then I want to look at the recommended hardware to use this so let's get started with the lesson nor as I said
Minimum hardware specifications now ideally you would not want to go with the minimum hardware specifications
That's like saying. What's the minimum temperature that you can live in you might say zero degrees centigrade?
But you don't really want to live at that temperature
Sure that might be the minimum temperature that you could survive in but living at that temperature all day every day
Would be really hard, and you won't be able to do many things in your house at this temperature
So now that we got that idea out of the way that we don't want to go with a minimum specifications
So can you run the oculus rift on an Apple?
No
What about a Chromebook? No what about a Windows? PC? That's just a few years old?
No
What about a new computer for basic or mid-level gaming?
No
So what do we need to run the oculus rift virtual reality headset?
so the minima do card requirement would be at least a
GTX 970 or the AMD
294 the processor you need at least two core i5
4590 you need at least eight gigs of ram
your PC has to be running Windows 7 service pack 1 or a newer such as Windows 10 and
Have at least two
USB 3.0 ports your video card has support hdmi 1.3 video output with a
297 megahertz clock via direct output architecture and have at least 4 gigs of graphics memory
The tricky part is this direct output architecture
Many manufacturers do not label their video cards or gaming laptops
Whether they do actually run or support direct output architecture
So what you can do is go to this webpage have listed here
Or go to the description and you can download the oculus rift
Compatibility tool and then run it on the machine
And he'll tell you whether your hardware is up to speed to run the oculus rift hardware
So those are the minimum requirements to run the oculus rift on your machine, but it's not really that recommended requirements
But will the minimum specifications provide an optimal experience
No
So let's now look at the recommended specifications
for the CPU a core i7
like a
7700 or newer the RAM amount 16 gigs of ram video card something like a gtx
1060 GTX or newer it has two HDMI ports and supports HDMI
1.3 video output with of course that
297 megahertz clock via direct output architecture and have at least four gigs of video memory in reality
oculus rift only plays with these specs any older or slower video card CPU
Combination will cause major headaches as even the simplest
VR chores will take too long to work out in real time if you do go with a slower CPU such as a core i5
4590 then you need a faster video card to make up the difference something like a gtx 1070 GTX or faster...
Now with that out of the way your virtual reality experience will always be better with a faster cry 7
Processor and a newer video card something with that like a gtx
1070 1080 GTX or even newer and better than that
Well that was a lot information about running the oculus rift on your computer hardware

Thank you very much, and bye bye
You know actually I have friends who live in Alaska and there it actually gets colder than zero degrees centigrade in their house
And it maintains that low temperature for months on in so that they have thick layers of ice on the inside of the windows
It just be hard for me to live in there was cold temperatures. I'm from California where we rarely have frost outside on the grass
Thank You
