Oculus Rift: System requirements of the VR goggles

Oculus Rift does not only run on high-end PCs, but the computer should not be too weak. This is especially true for gaming applications.These are the minimum requirements:

• Processor: Intel Core i3-6300 / AMD FX4350
• Graphics card: GeForce GTX 960 / Radeon 290
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• A compatible DisplayPort video output and at least one USB 3.0 port

For a smooth VR experience, it should be the following components:

• Processor: Intel Core i5-4590 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
• Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1060 / Radeon RX 480
• Memory: 8 GB RAM

Oculus Rift is compatible with all Windows generations starting with Windows 7 with SP 1. However, since support for Windows 7 has since been discontinued, the recommendation is to use Oculus Rift together with a Windows 10 PC. If these requirements are met, you can experience games like Fallout 4 VR from an impressive new perspective.
