Since VR requires a GeForce GTX 970 GPU or above for DT or a GTX 980 GPU for NB. You will also need:
- a head mounted display
- a PC with USB 3.0 support,
- CPU: Intel Core i5- 4590 equivalent or greater CPU
- 8GB+ RAM of Memory/RAM
- 2x USB 3.0 ports and HDMI 1.3

For customers, navigating an emerging technology like VR can be daunting, said Jason Paul, general manager of emerging technologies at NVIDIA. Were working with trusted partners worldwide to simplify the buying process with a GeForce GTX VR Ready badge that will let customers quickly identify PCs or add-in cards that are capable of handling the demands of VR.
