As a consumer product at the forefront of virtual reality (VR), VR heads such as Oculus Rift and Vive are naturally the VR hardware of choice for VR enthusiasts. However, the price of the two has greatly exceeded the consumption level of most gamers, and the biggest problem is that these devices have extremely high requirements for computers. The normal configuration of game computers that meet system requirements requires a budget of more than 6,000 yuan, and expensive computer configuration. The price is the most painful thing for players. After all, not everyone is willing to pay tens of thousands of yuan for virtual reality (except, of course, local tyrants). Recently, however, foreign netizens have carefully studied the system requirements of VR devices and the computer accessories that meet the VR hardware requirements in the market, and have assembled a set of recommended VR gaming computers with high performance-price ratio. It only requires 600 US dollars (about 4,000 yuan). ). Follow the author's footsteps together to see the foreign users share the VR computer recommended configuration. VR computer configuration list: processor From the perspective of maximizing the use of our budget, AMD chips may be our first choice. But there are several factors that led us to finally choose the Intel Core i5-6400: using older Intel chips (such as the Core i5-4590) does not save much money, and will limit our use of DDR4, which will enable this device The performance has been improved. So our ideal chip is the entry-level Skylake Core i5, priced at $180, with no sales and export rebates. Compared to AMD's FX 8350 (8-thread, 4.0GHz baseband), the Skylake Core i5 has several advantages: power, performance, feature settings, etc. Although the price is slightly more expensive than the FX8350, it supports DDR4, which can make performance obvious The promotion. Skylake Core i5 also has a longer life cycle because we can use Intel's latest chipset. Although not yet proven, Kaby Lake chips will support the H170 motherboard. Motherboard The cheapest LGA1151 motherboard on the market today is Gigabyte's H110, but the cheapest one also means that there are quite a few restrictions. In particular, it lacks a PCI-E channel to support a large GPU. So we chose the more expensive GA-H170M-DS3H, which has 16 PCI-E channels, just to meet our needs, the price is very close to the people - for only $ 77, which is only a little more expensive than the $ 50 H110. RAM No need to worry about memory, HyperX Fury X Black is the most cost-effective memory at the time of release and for a long time to come. This dual-channel DDR4 kit costs only $32 for a 2,133MHz baseband memory. Regarding the amount of memory, we very much agree with Digital Trends: "Playing modern games with 8 gigabytes of memory is the best." This is also Rift's minimum required configuration, with 4GB memory requirement. Vive left a little space. Video card On the graphics side, it is clear that AMD's new product, the RX 480, is the first choice. Among Nvidia's low-end graphics cards, only the GTX 970 supports VR, which is the cheapest and almost $300. The RX 480 is $100 cheaper, has more impressive memory, and is certified by Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. We tested the latest Radeon series cards and found that it completely crushed the GTX 960 in real performance tests, running full-effect radiation "Radiation 4" and "Battlefield 4", can reach 60 frames / second, 1440P resolution. Solid State Drives, Power Supplies, Chassis There are many choices for these three components, and our specific choice is based on the current consideration of each product sold. In order to ensure that we have the greatest universality of this "VR Suite Guide", we will examine each of the following items to make the price of this "VR Set" more suitable for your budget. First of all, on the hard disk side, mechanical hard drives are no longer popular, unless they are used for data storage. So we chose Solid State Drives for our operating systems and programs. Although the 120G SSD is cheaper, it doesn't have much use. The 2x capacity means twice the game storage. So we chose Corsair Force LE (240G) because it is currently on sale, but there are still many at this price point. Other choices. We also consider the power supply based on the current available products. One of the main principles for buying power is to look for big brands such as EVGA, Corsair, Cooler Master, and NZXT. In addition, performance is critical, and at least one 80+ certified power supply is a good choice. In this package, the chassis is more personalized. You are the person who looks at it every day, so try to choose a beautiful one. In addition, to plan the line, it is best to have space to install long graphics cards. The front USB3.0 interface is also necessary, which will help you install Rift and Vive. Since the $600 budget has already used $480, you only have $120 to buy the three parts. We can balance the cost. But you may have different options, such as buying a smaller SSD and replacing it with a better one. to sum up The most critical part of this suite is the CPU and GPU. The Intel processor is the king of the current gaming hardware, and the Radeon RX 480 is now able to support the VR set the most cost-effective graphics card, unless Nvidia released the GTX 1060. The key is not which solid-state drive you have chosen, nor what type of ATX or MicroATX you prefer, but the price/performance curve of PC gaming hardware is steep. AMD is doing a good job of market positioning, which improves product performance. Prior to the release of the RX 480, such a VR computer configuration would cost at least $1,000. And now, you only need 600 US dollars - it is the price of an Oculus Rift, equivalent to saving half the money.
