Spec in sig.

Ran the SteamVR test and it's scoring 9.4 (very high) but was just reading about serious sam VR and I think my comp is gonna struggle.

Cash is tight after forking out £750 for the vive, but I can probably flog my GTX 980 and grab a 1070 or something in the January sales. Is it worth it?

My Vive doesn't arrive until tomorrow so I haven't actually tested but I'm a little apprehensive that my spec on paper is basically near the minimum rather than the recommended.

My 3770k OC'd at 4.4GHz I'm hoping is sufficient, how much performance will I gain going upto a 6700k?

I run at 8.9 and it is perfectly adequate for Vive VR. I am looking at upgrading after 6 months of VR to a 1070 because I want to push higher settings but it looks like you should get on just fine with your setup.

I would say, enjoy the first few months then upgrade later and bag a bargain.

Thanks for the advice. What is your cpu/gpu?
