Checking the minimum specs for Oculus Rift due out Q1 2016 - minimum graphics requirements for Nvidia are "GTX 970 or equivalent"
So here's the rub, GTX 970 has 4GB VRAM, while the 690 has 2GB + 2GB mirrored. So the million dollar question is: will the 690 run OR? Or is it going to bottleneck at the VRAM? Is it going to be okay, but resolution limited?
Anyone with experience with the OR, your help is greatly appreciated. I'd hate to think that I need to invest in another high end card just to run the Rift. Otherwise, I'm contented and sedate.
