I've never used a gaming laptop because I prefer to build my own desktops. In general, a 1060 and 980 are pretty much equal. Performance in a laptop is probably going to depend on which one has better cooling so it can maintain maximum boost clocks more often. The 1060 is a 120W card while a...

I took the same deal as you with the $100 gift card and got my Rift last week. My touch controllers won't be here for a couple more days so I have been limited to games that can be played with an Xbox One controller so far. EVE Valkyrie came free with the Rift. This is a pretty decent...

I wanted to check back in and say that I got my Rift and I'm happy with it so far. Eve Valkyrie was cool and I was surprisingly impressed with what I played of Lucky's Tale. I wasn't expecting a 3rd person platformer to actually be a cool VR experience but it isn't bad. I also checked out...

Now the question is whether all those VR optimizations Nvidia advertised for the Pascal GPUs will actually end up being supported by developers. I'm not too worried about performance with my 1070 and i5-4690k right now but I still hope those features actually take off.

Looks like this thread doesn't matter anymore. Amazon currently has a deal where you get a $100 Amazon gift card, EVE Valkyrie, and Obduction if you buy a Rift. Saving $100 and getting two extra games bundled in was enough incentive for me to just make the purchase. The only bummer is that the...

I've been wanting to get a VR setup for a long time but didn't think there were enough actual games I wanted to play yet to justify the $800. Seeing the Giant Bomb guys play Superhot VR last week makes me think I might be ready to finally take the plunge. That game looks amazing. I always...

I don't think it will be as good of an experience as a high end PC but the Playstation VR comes with an external processing box that sits between the PS4 and the VR helmet. This is supposed to give it some extra power to help it handle VR. The first hand experiences I have heard on podcasts...

I just checked the Steam listing and Intel HD 4000 graphics are listed as one of the minimum requirements. I don't know anything about laptop GPUs because I have always gamed on a desktop. I hear that this game has rather high end settings available but since it also lists Intel integrated...
