Apple Please use good Nvidia Cards! Macs are becoming a joke with crap GPU's...
You cant run any good pro 3D apps on macs now...

Virtual Reality is just another iteration of 3D, and 3D has failed from the red/blue glasses for Creature from the Black Lagoon to the polarized glasses of the 1980s to the 3D televisions that have gone nowhere in the past few years. The fact is that vanishingly few people want to wear the headgear required to immerse themselves in 3D or VR, because it is an order of magnitude more isolating than, say, just wearing headphones for teamspeak or similar chat functionality. Add in the wires and power requirements, and you have a non-starter for 99% of the population.
Produce a holodeck like those on Star Trek: TNG and we can talk. Until then this will remain a niche market.
LOL! So my 2013 Mac Pro is a lame computer? Yeah, right. How about releasing your product with specs for any platform and let me decide whether my computer supports it.
iMac's need proper graphics. No more integrated graphics.
This guy also thinks his Tesla is the best car ever made.....
Shyly raises hand. I competitively play CSGO on Mac running Windows 10 and I have a couple of friends that do as well. We're definitely a minority and get a lot of crap for it among gamers, but we're out there. (Though if my office were bigger and I had the space for a second PC desktop, I'd move all of my gaming there.)Yes, i agree with you... i just don't think gamers and competitive players own macs (as their gaming platform) to begin with. So even if macs had better graphics capabilities, i don't think they would be there.
Mac machines, even the high-end ones, don't have the graphics power to handle that kind of system load.
Hummm... so I doubt 95% of the PC users will be able to use it either. Sounds like very high-end video requirements. Not something your average PC (of any brand) is going to have.
they don't. 5k imacs have custom mobile cards that have been tweeked to put out higher frame rates.Pretty sure the 5k iMacs have Dedicated AMD Graphics, as an option.
But Macs these days have horrible prices for their specs, your getting Intel's Integrated Graphics for £1500.
The truth, she'll set you free!Macs weren't built for Oculus Rift. They were built for their intended purposes. Apple is working on their own VR anyway, so I don't care.
The situation will be no different for those. VR requires a fast GPU since you need to be able to maintain a good framerate. Otherwise people will get motion sickness.
I really wish apple would release a decent gaming system, im dreading my 2009 mac pro breaking.

Very few PC's in the consumer market are upgradable outside drive and memory. If they want success, other then niche market, they need to design more intelligence and hardware into their product as opposed to relying on the mass market hardware. Apple will most likely take this approach. Might even work with the next generations of iPhone.Point is you can upgrade your pc.
VR is focused on gaming for now, but it may soon be adopted to design industries (architecture, interior design, AutoCAD, etc). Apple surely wouldn't want to lose out, so I'm sure Apple will do something to optimize Macs for Oculus or other VR headsets. Or maybe they will build their own VR headsets.

Because Oculus isn't thinking short term. They know that specs get better and better quickly. Why design a system that leverages lower tech when they can have a system that will last longer over time?
