There are propably about 500 million devices out there that have two USB 3.0 ports (USB 2.0 works too confirmed by AngryJoe) and a hdmi 1.3 output or higher. And running Windows 7 or higher.

Like it has always been the case on PC, different games have differen requirements. Also, the settings you are running, and even the resolution (however anything lower then native resolution won't look that great)

Would this not defeat the purpouse of a pc? Building a pc as strong as a console or weaker makes no sense. Its actually stupid cuz consoles provide more for the same amount of money. The only advantage you get is going way above and beyond the price of a console and getting getting enoughf boom to see an actual diference. It would be lame to get the hassel of building and upgrading and drivers and all that to end up with the same experience as a console thats just plug and play for the next 5 years at least.

Yeah, because hardware is the only thing that matters?
Ignore all the things like exclusives, backwards compability for 20 years, mods, free online multiplayer, cheaper games etc.

And even if you build a PC that matches PS4, you can upgrade later. You can go from a dual core i3 to a i7 on the same motherboard and ram. From a 750Ti to a Titan X. From a single stick of 8GB ram to 4 sticks of 32GB.

But your point has nothing to do with this topic, I was talking that to connect and use Oculus Rift/HTC Vive for PC you only need a hdmi port and two USB 3.0 ports (USB 2.0 might work with a few dissconects every few hours according to AngryJoe review) on any form of device (desktop, laptop or windows tablet)

Maybe some people don't want to do gaming with a VR headset. There is so much more you can do like watching videos, movies, 3d panoramas, medical training. Even productivity because you can have 6 virtual monitors. For those things IntelHD Integrated Graphics would be more then enough. I'm pretty sure it would be able to drive the most simple VR games like Minecraft at 90FPS too.
