Powering
the VIVE Experience
VIVE recommends certain minimum component specs for a Windows PC to run VIVE. These components such as your graphics card, processor, and RAM all impact the quality of the VR experience you see inside the headset. Let’s review what makes each of these components important to your VR experience.
The graphics card is the most important component in your PC for VR. It is responsible for the production of the graphics displayed inside the headset. The more powerful the graphics card, the more detail you will see in images in your VR experience.
Processor
Think of
the processor like the brain of your computer. It is responsible for processing
the data required to run the VR experience. The newer the processor, the more
calculations that can be done to optimize the game for the best VR
experience.RAM is a form of data storage for frequently used computer programs,
such as VR games. The more RAM you have, the more information the computer can
store for faster access.
