Users will need to update their operating system if they want to take advantage of future updates
Bad news for owners of an Oculus Rift using their experimental toy with Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Microsoft has decided to remove support for these operating systems.
So, thanks to this move, the Oculus Rift has just become almost an exclusive toy for Windows 10.
This is shown by the new table of minimum and recommended requirements published by Microsoft (via Tom & # 39; s Hardware):
| Specifications | MIMA | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Graphics Card | Nvidia GTX 1050Ti / AMD Radeon RX 470 | Nvidia GTX 960 / AMD Radeon RX 480 |
| Alternative | Nvidia GTX 960 / AMD Radeon R9 290 | Nvidia GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290 |
| CPU | Intel i3-6100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200, FX4350 or | Intel i5-4590 / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X |
| Memory | 8GB + RAM | 8GB + RAM |
| Video Output | HDMI 1.3 Video Output Compatible | HDMI 1.3 Video Output Compatible |
| USB Ports | 1x USB 3.0 Plus 2x USB 2.0 | 3x USB 3.0 Plus 1x USB 2.0 |
| Operating System | W indows 10 | Windows 10 |
This does not mean that the device has been converted from one day to the next into an expensive brick for those who do not have the software.
But this represents the inevitable reality that they will not be able to enjoy the functions; and improvements to future updates prepared for the platform.
It is an obvious gesture. Only 5% of current users use their Oculus in an old operating system.
