    When will Virtual Reality be a big thing for video games?

    I refer to the more recent stuff that is coming out. The Oculus Rift has a Radeon r9 290 as the minimum system requirement - much higher than most requirements for today's AAA games. http://www.fudzilla.com/news/graphics/37780-oculus-needs-radeon-r9-290-geforce-gtx-970-or-higher

    When will Virtual Reality be a big thing for video games?

    I think the main obstacle with VR right now is the amount of graphical power it takes to run the thing - the current generation of consoles are nowhere near enough to do so. You have to render two screens that are 1080p+ in something like 90FPS, and a lot of GPUs aren't ready for that yet.

    Hey!

    Hey guys, My name is el canadiano. Was referred here by a friend. I'm a PC Gamer buff - playing a lot of Football Manager and sometimes some League, along with some Team Fortress 2 for the kicks. I'm also a huge Rock Band buff. Nice to be here!
