Oculus Rift

Oculus software and apps need to be installed on C:\

So stupid. Definitely going the Vive route if this isn't fixed quickly.

So what? That seems like a minor concern.

Not if you boot off a small SSD and run your shit off another hard drive. I think I have 3gb free on my C:\.

lol whoops, then.

There are ways to fudge this and link another drive to a folder.

edit: Of course, if the Vive needed it too, I'd just upgrade next week, but I'd rather not unless there are Easter sales.

You know USB cards cost like $15, right? It's not like you need a new motherboard.

Yeah, but that's so inelegant.

I guess. Most rift-capable PCs have the ports anyway. I had to buy a card though. Not a huge deal.

Rift has prioritized their MTP latency above almost all else, and there's a reason theirs is lower than Vive or anyone else. Whether or not that makes a difference I can't say.

Yeah, a lot of my hardware is absolutely ancient. That's what happens when CPUs advance so little. I've added a SSD and a couple GPUs, but I think that's it since 2010. Maybe a new PSU.

We're both probably going to want a GPU upgrade at the very least, I'm just trying to hold off until May in hopes of a price drop.

I have a 970, so I'm good, though I will be upgrading to the 1070/80 or whatever they call it, since I'll have a whole new system by then.
