AMD Partners With Oculus and Dell to Power Oculus Ready PCs

AMD Partners With Oculus and Dell to Power Oculus Ready PCs

AMD announced a collaboration with Oculus and Dell to equip Oculus Ready PCs with AMD Radeon(TM) GPUs, starting at $999USD. The powerful PCs are designed to deliver stunning gaming performance and enable spectacular VR experiences for consumers around the world by leveraging AMD VR leadership with LiquidVR(TM) and Graphics Core Next architecture.

"It's an exciting time to be at the heart of all things Virtual Reality," said Roy Taylor, corporate vice president, Alliances and Content, AMD. "I'm confident that with Dell and Alienware, we can enable a wide audience of PC users with extraordinary VR capabilities powered by AMD Radeon GPUs."

In March, AMD announced an initiative to deliver the ultimate VR experience for developers and users enabled through AMD LiquidVR(TM) technology. AMD LiquidVR(TM) enables low-latency VR performance that maintains reliable comfort during your VR experience, and plug-and-play compatibility with VR headsets. AMD GPU software and hardware subsystems are a major component in making AMD LiquidVR(TM) a reality and in turn allowing for developers and content creators to enable a life-like presence in VR environments.

"For nearly 20 years Alienware has been a leader in performance and innovation for PC gaming; virtual reality is the next frontier and we plan to innovate and lead in the same way, with the same passion," said Frank Azor, Co-founder and General Manager, Alienware. "Partnering with the performance of AMD graphics and the innovation of Oculus provides an incredible opportunity for Alienware to deliver something awesome for our users."

Oculus Ready? Don't you have to be sure there will be interest and games/apps to use first?


Played with a TrackIR? Flight sim, tactical shooters, racing games and more. If is good enough and it is priced well enough some people will buy it. Games (but not all) will support it if it is relevent.

I am looking forward to flying in Star Citizen a Hornet. Have played attack helicopter games a years ago, an AH-64 Apache so the thought of flying with a Oculus both day and night with its helmet mounted display and chain gun turrent tied to the Oculus is not to hard for me to imagine. If it is good enough I will get an Oculus Rift to play Star Citizen but I like low lag and high refresh rates so I may wait for a later version or not get one at all just fly left handed and use my mouse to look around on my 144hz 1ms monitor as I have already been doing.

Would you please list that GIGNORMOUS amount of games please? :-P


For VR games information not under NDA you can follow progress here. :

However with the competition between VR solutions and no real standards yet it's a big mess IMHO and manufactures are getting developers onboard for their respective launches under NDA. Expect some "news leaks" over the next few months though... ;)

Pretty sure that isn't a problem...

Not to mention, 3rd party tools that can be used to sort of emulate a 3D for unsupported games.


Anyway - I could have sworn AMD partnered with Valve and HTC for the Vive too. Anyone else find it a little bit weird that they're partnering with 2 direct competitors?
