Hi, I read online that people have gotten their GTX 590 to work with the Rift. However, I'm having some problems with mine. I can get to the "home" screen in VR, but no games will play. I have the perpetual "floating sign" saying that my system does not meet the minimum specifications for Rift, which I can only assume means the video card. Here are my system specs:
In the Nvidia settings menu, I had to DISABLE "multi-GPU" mode, otherwise the Rift wouldn't work at all. At first I tried outputting to the headset through the mini-display port (via a mini-display port to HDMI adapter), but that wouldn't work. So I ended up getting a DVI-D to HDMI adapter, and that finally allowed the signal to go through (still had to have multi-GPU disabled, though).
None of the free games that came with my purchase (that I've tried so far) will work. Robo Recall just puts up a screen on my monitor saying that "a pending hardware issue is preventing..." blah blah blah, and Toy Box (although the screen will load on my monitor) will not load in the Rift.
I've jumped so many hurdles to get this far. It would be really disappointing to have this fail at the last step, especially since I've read that other GTX 590 owners have had success.
Are there any other tweaks or hidden settings anyone knows of that would make this work?
Thanks in advance!
