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."

I would rather read about Oculus/HTC confirming that they'll support Adaptive Sync, that would be real win.
They can be making 2 versions of boards, one for nVidia and one for AMD/intel.
Or just push nVidia to do little trick and enable Adaptive Sync on capable HW (if any).

Great news for AMD! We've known AMD has been working hard with Oculus for quite a while, but having Dell team up also is always a good thing! Especially considering the good amount of upcoming games which will support VR!
