Hey everyone,

 

Super new to everything and was wondering if the vive would run fine on my pc?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

I've copied the specs for ease of comparison: 

Operating System
Windows 10 Home
Processor
Intel® Core™ i7-7700 processor Quad-core 3.60 GHz
Graphics
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 with 3 GB dedicated memory
Memory
16 GB, DDR4 SDRAM
Storage
2 TB HDD

These are our official requirements: 

Recommended Minimum Computer Specs

• Graphics*:

  NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon™ RX 480, equivalent or better.

• Processor:

  Intel® Core™ i5-4590 or AMD FX™ 8350, equivalent or better

• Memory:

  4 GB RAM or more

• Video out:

  HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2 or newer

• USB ports:

  1x USB 2.0 or better port

• Operating system:

  Windows® 7 SP1, Windows® 8.1 or later, Windows® 10

Based on that rough comparison, you should be good. You're meeting the minimums and exceeding in some places.

I hope that helps.

Yep - this looks perfectly suitable for general Vive usage; you'd want a 1070 if using a Pro. 

 

This will handle the vast majority of Vive apps; it may be on the edge for underoptimized titles like Fallout 4 but you can reduce quality to boost framerate on apps when needed. It's a little pricey for the specs though, especially considering it's got a a 3gb 1060 and not one of the 11gb variants but I come from BYOPC land where everything is cheaper since you're the one building it.
