Testing AMD's $650 VR-Ready system with HTC Vive @ Neoseeker

[news 28]

Hello editors,

 

With virtual reality headsets reaching more consumers thanks to the Oculus

Rift and HTC Vive, it's important to remember that they still require a

suitable PC rig to work as intended. Today we take a look at a

purpose-built system from AMD that was designed to demonstrate how

consumers can create a "VR-Ready" PC without necessarily breaking the bank,

thanks to two key ingredients: the Radeon RX 480 8GB video card and the

FX-6350 Vishera 6-Core CPU. Both components are more affordable than

competing options, and AMD has already billed the RX 480 as VR for the

masses.

Thanks as always for any linkage!
