Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Headsets

Damn I wonder if I should get a second 970 for Occulus though. Most games I can run 75 fps on very high at 1080p, but I probably can't lock to it. I imagine they made GTA V first person strictly for this. What resolution is this supposed to run games at?

Iirc, it's one LCD screen for each eye at a res of 1080p.

I just saw on gamespot it's supposed to be 2160x1200 split over two screens, running at 90 fps. I can probably do that at high or medium with most games on one 970, but I'd have to buy a second to do that at ultra.

Yeah, you're probably going to want to upgrade to SLI or a better card.. I read it will take roughly three times the raw power to render at 1080p, but didn't mention the FPS for that.

That doesn't seem right. 2160x1200 is only 25% higher resolution than 1920x1080 and it would render at 90 fps instead of 60. So it would be 1.25 * 1.5 = 1.88 times more pixels per second rendered.

read the 2160 backwards
