A custom PC maker, CyberPower Inc has developed a PC that is ‘Oculus Ready’ and that costs $1,099 for the bundle when bought with a Rift on Amazon or BestBuy’s online shop. Given that the Rift costs $599, this makes the PC cost, effectively, $500.
The PC uses an AMD CPU and a Radeon RX 470 GPU and includes a gaming keyboard and mouse.
Analyst Comment
One of the barriers to the development of high quality VR is the cost of the PCs needed. Specialists rate this system as only just good enough, but shows that prices could come down. (BR)
