The minimum system requirements for the Rift and Vive is a PC with at least an Intel i5 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD R9 260 graphics card. While the i5 shouldn\u2019t be a problem, many users currently don\u2019t have the extra powerful video cards necessary. What\u2019s more, these requirements are considered the minimum, which means you\u2019ll need a significantly stronger computer if you want the most optimum performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At ORIGIN PC, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.originpc.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>gaming computers<\/b><\/span><\/a> have got you covered for today and tomorrow\u2019s technology.
