What are you talking about? That cpu/ram/gfx card combo is perfectly fine for VR - yes, not on ultra settings maybe but most competent Vr experiences are optimised more than the usual non-vr ports.

Sure dude, multiple accounts it must be.

Are you 12? Or 45 and very lonely?

Getting to what matters, saving people money (as this is a deals forum afteralll) the 1060 will be fine for VR -

Some people with very small appendages might argue that you need to out and spend £600+ on a graphics card but they are talking out of the wrong end of their body,

Great price OP voted hot!

£999 and no free delivery, I'm out

That PC spec could only handle the most basic of VR. And Occulus Rift has just had a price cut I believe.

Well, you, being a member of the 'PC Master Race', would not know the first thing about having a wife so trying to explain things like how leaving your mum's basement and actually meeting women IRL can lead to relationships and not just on World of Warcraft or similar would be asinine.

But hey, 'projection at its finest' and all that.

Cuck? Are you implying you like having your wife seen to by another man while you are humiliated in front of them?

Projection at its finest.

You really sound like the sort of pointless idiot who googles the latest buzz words and attempts to add them into his posts in the belief that it makes you look intelligent. I'm actually surprised you haven't used cuck anywhere in your hilariously childish replies to other posters.

The fact is you probably know nothing at all about PCs beyond reading sites like Overclockers or Ebuyer and reviews of top tech on Anandtech, Toms Hardware etc where they feature hardware that you wish you could own.

Oh and I am far from being thin skinned or some kind of snowflake. I just don't like morons like yourself who deliberately sabotage decent threads for their own childish amusement.

For £269 more you can upgrade to the GTX 1080 like I did :smile:
Also if you e-mail customer service they will throw in an extra PCI-E wifi card for you.

I ordered mine on Saturday, advised delivery will be next Wednesday. Brilliant deal OP, just what I was looking for!

Can anyone tell me what VR games have you played more than 3 hours and still playing it/them? THANK YOU !

It's pretty a case of diminished returns with most games. VR == terrible visuals but great immersion. A lot of PC gamers hide behind the fact that they're highly framerate sensitive so have to spend more to get the same enjoyment.

This PC is aimed towards people that are just starting out with VR and PC gaming. It's not aimed towards someone that has built their own driving frame or owns a high tier hotas setup. The average PC game isn't going to need higher specs but certain games will require higher specs than this rig can handle. Then again VR display technology is pretty terrible compared to your average gaming monitor so where do you draw the line.

What are you rambling about? Looks like your comment was deleted so it appears the mods agreed that you were being pointlessly rude. Rudeness does not enforce your point. Quite the opposite. You look like a fool.

"PC master race".

because there was nothing to action. it's constant moderation by thin skins like yourself that lead to the removal of "ladies and gentlemen" from underground announcements, and the enablement of "non-binary" idealisms in confused children.

pc master race has no room for hardware untermenschen.

Leave him be, he's John Snow.

For VR casual games a 1060 is fine, however if you want to run DCS, IL46 BOM, Assetto corsa, Raceroom,iRacing Elite etc you really need the fastest card you can buy.

This PC **** measuring contest is what turns off so many ppl from PC gaming.

A gtx 1060 is a perfectly acceptable graphics card it will easily get you 60fps on past titles at 1080p, and continue to do so going forward in reduced settings. The salient point here is that even on medium to high settings, you'll enjoy a much better fidelity than consoles which is the whole point of playing on PC.

If you can afford to go upto a 1070 or 1080, you'll get even more out of your system, but a 1060 is no slouch.

Oh, and as for VR, oculus' own recommended spec is a 1060 or higher. That's RECOMMENDED, Not minimum requirement which goes even lower (see link above)

I5 is recommended. i3 is the minimum requirement

https://support.oculus.com/help/oculus/1773584749575567?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.oculus.com%2F

I reported it but it seems the mods couldn't care less.

There are plenty of forums he can argue till his little heart is content on regarding PC specs. This is a deal site and for what it is the deal is more than decent.

Lot of snobbery here around Pc specs but there is some partial truth in the mess above in that buying a PC that can run games 'fine' or 'but not on max settings' now is fine for now but not very future proofed at all. Tech moves pretty quick with computers and dropping £600 on a machine that's just adequate for current specs isn't a great idea in my view but ymmv.

It all went a little bit twilight zone after post #35.

Not worth mentioning the multiple accounts spouting the same bile, but the fact stands - 1060 is **** for VR. Get over it, girls.

I7 is recommended. I5 is under powered.

Sure dude, multiple accounts it must be.

Werent these guys banned forever

Had a 970 when the Cv1 was first released last year, it was ok but not brilliant. Upgraded to a 1070, was a big upgrade but still couldn't play decent games on the highest settings. Just bought a 1080ti and i think it's the sweet spot for what's to come.

He knows how to go WHAAAAA WHAAAAAA WHAAAAAA

hA HA HAHAHA Are you going to cry a little more now?

Yeah my gtx 1080ti really struggles with fun house.

Clearly from your comments your rocking a TNT Riva. It's like when blokes boast about how well endowed they are when they are packing a tiddler.

Now crawl back under your bridge little troll.

i5-7400 and 8GB RAM, in case anyone is misreading that it has 16GB

Pretty terrible pc

1060 or higher is the recommended GPU for Rift.

By the very fact you are promoting a 1060 for anything, let alone VR, makes your points of view completely redundant when it comes to graphical fidelity.

Take a step back boys. Your patter is akin to console kids defending their product as a viable competitor to PCs. Step it up.

Anything designed for VR from the ground up is polygon hell. Any games retrospectively adjusted to work with VR is stutter hell without a decent card. Go play nvidia funhouse to see if your card is worthy. If its left wanting, good luck with Fallout VR when it's out.

Keep on digging Mr know it all. You are so very wrong. " videophile" pah from your comments I can tell you know sweet f a.

What a load of tosh.

Super sampling makes it look marginally better but it's very minimal. It doesn't impact the experience whatsoever.

Had both a 970 and 1080 so speak from experience. Lol what a troll

Looks like an ok price nothing amazing?

It's a good price for the system + VR gear if you are into that.

One thing I would check before buying is some reviews of the PSU and who the OEM is. Last thing you want in an expensive PC is a crap power supply. Perhaps ask OCUK to put a better one in for you for a cost.

From someone who upgraded from a 970 to a 1080 (after hearing comments like the above) I can say the difference was slight at the most for VR.

Yes I could use super sampling games which produced a slightly higher fidelity but trust me it wasn't worth the upgrade, not for VR anyway.

Basically a 970/1060 are more than sufficient and provides an almost identical experience. It was flawless for me and regret wasting money on such a pointless upgrade, at least none VR games look better

That's where you've probably wrong, I reckon the PC was this price (e.g. a little pricey) before the spike - prebuilds seem relatively unaffected from what I can gather. It's still pricey, but if you're looking at this kind of spec right now its probably cheaper than you could build (depending on the Mobo used/RAM used obviously). Win 10 already installed is a nice touch for those that want something that will just work too.

£999 and no free delivery, I'm out

Doesn't seem that great of a spec for the price.

You're paying quite a premium for today's inflated GPU prices and convenience of prebuilt.

Bad time to be building a new pc for vr.

No one is disputing games will look better on a titan xp over a 1060, but current VR titles on a 1060 work well, The experience is extremely enjoyable.



90FPS in the 5/6 games I've tested, occasional dip to mid 80s haven't noticed the dips so far after around 10hours game play

Sure ladies, come back when you've attempted to render something more than Job Simulator and Lucky's Tale blockfests.

*cough* **** *cough*

Nvidia themselves tout the 1060 as a direct replacement for the 980 and there's only a hair's breadth between them when measured . Sometimes the 980 wins out, sometimes it's the 1060, but they are basically at parity.

The 1070 is a better card, of course, but the 1060 is more than enough for VR, moreso now that devs are learning how to optimise (to the point where Nvidia have *reduced* their minimum VR spec from a 970 to a 960).

Saying x/y/z can run vr games is meaningless, what frame rates are you getting?

You know nothing.

I was researching the 1060 a couple of months ago and the difference between the 970 & the 1060 is slight, infact, I noted some charts, where under specific conditions, with specific titles, the 970 nudged ahead (not often, but yeah) ... so? I see the 1060 as a minor upgrade to the 970 and a way for Nvidia to cater for that end of the market, as most of us can't afford to drop 500 notes on a GPU ... being the peasants that we are.

Please noone listen to this nonsense. Supersampling is nice and I can push around 2 on my 1080ti, however, it's nowhere near essential and does not make as drastic a difference at your suggesting.

A 1060 will run almost all games at standard setting. My only concern would be whether it could handle fallout 4vr.

Yet another pc dumbo that knows not what they speak of.

the specs of the PC are near enough the same as mine i got an Intel i5 7500 same gpu no idea what PSU it has 16gb RAM but I also got a 240gb SSD. total is around £760 so this isn't too bad

Think you're getting confused between a 980 and the 980Ti

I have a GTX970 myself and have been enjoying VR without any real issues, so that 1060 should be fine, not like VR games are pushing 4k textures anf resolutions.........YET!.

I do have a icore 7 though so that might be helping somewhat.

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-980-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/2576vs3639

Not a huge amount in it.

High and stable Frame rate is really important to prevent motion sickness in VR.

https://www.roadtovr.com/vr-ready-gpu-benchmark-comparison-nvidia-gtx-1080-ti-1080-1070-1060-amd-rx-480-fcat-vr/

got any links to back that up? from what I've seen the 1060 is marginally behind the 980 (a few fps/% in benchmarks) but always above the 970

for example see here where they try to see whats better an overclocked 980 or 1060. You can see both before and after the OC they are near identical

http://www.babeltechreviews.com/rx-480-vs-gtx-1060-vs-gtx-980-overclocked-showdown/3/

1060 is basically the same spec as a 980 so can max nearly everything at 1080 and max most vr games (which tend to be pretty basic graphically) you can also play nearly everything at 2k on high to max. 1070 is certainly better but then again so is a 1080ti, where do you stop?

That PC spec could only handle the most basic of VR. And Occulus Rift has just had a price cut I believe.

This is a nice deal - perfect base for further upgrades later and no hassle of building a PC (along with all the liabilities).

Essentially £600 for that pc, not too bad.
