Alienware does deal with Occulus Rift Alienware founder Frank Azor has said his outfit is going to bundle the Oculus Rift with an Alienware X51 gaming desktop at a reduced cost to consumers. Azor said customers who ordered the bundle would receive the x51 system, valued at $1,200, plus the Rift for $1,600 total. This would give you a $200 discount on the Rift and a laptop that has the power to run it. Gamers have been fuming as Occulus announced its price for the Rift which, at $600, was a little hefty and some believed that it would kill the technology stone dead. It is not clear what the Alienware specs will be. Azor said the bundle would be a complete turn-key solution—so you could pull the X51 out of the box and begin playing VR. Oculus Rift founder Palmer Luckey and Azor defended the "recommended spec" of a GeForce GTX 970. Luckey said that while a higher performance GPU didn't hurt, he didn't believe it was a necessity. He added that developers might use a higher-performance card such as a GeForce GTX 980, 980 ti, or an equivalent. Luckey will personally be playing all final builds of VR games on a GeForce GTX 970 GPU. http://fudzilla.com/news/wearables/3...h-occulus-rift |
