AMD partners with Dell and Oculus to bring its Radeon GPUs into new territory (NYSE:AMD, NASDAQ:FB, NASDAQELL)
AMD has partnered with Oculus and Dell to set up "Oculus Ready" Alienware computers with Radeon GPUs.
The PCs in question will start at $999 USD and will leverage AMD's LiquidVR technology, which is touted as low-latency, comfortable, and highly compatible with VR headsets.

No launch date is announced as of yet -- Alienware's website only lists the upcoming systems as "coming soon".

VR is something I looking forward to giving a try. LiquidVR seems to be the go to API for the VR industry at this moment in time. Just how good is it though?

I always look at share prices now for what effect this kind of 'news' has on the markets. Share prices have dropped since this news broke.

AMD needs to see something through, from start to finish. The VR idea was sold to them, and now they have jumped on board they have to see it through, they cant let it fail like their other techs including the last great failure in mantle. It's not fair to the limited amount of customers they have, and they need to win a few more.

You do know mantle is the building block behind LiquidVR don't you.

I love how this whole thread is focused around the build and design choices of a competitior of ocuk

No competitor linking. Am not linking anything other than a news post.. If ocuk has any issue with this thread am sure they will close it..

Now had I linked to a page of sales then fine it would have been against the fourm rules.
