Oculus Rift Compatibility Tool

The highly anticipated Oculus Rift will see the light of day this year and it is already available for pre-order. Before you jump on the hype train, you should make sure your machine is capable of supporting this fresh piece of technology. If you don't feel like searching for the device's specs online, you can turn to Oculus Rift Compatibility Tool. This simple utility can analyze your computer and tell you if it's ready for the Oculus Rift.

The application is absolutely free and you can run it right away, without going through an installation process. It works on any modern Windows platform and it doesn't have any kind of special requirements.

Running the application and clicking a button on its clean and simple user interface is all you have to do. It takes only a few seconds to analyze a computer, after which the application will tell you if you can use the Oculus Rift on your computer or not.

Besides providing a simple "Yey" or "Ney", Oculus Rift Compatibility Tool will also show you which components have passed or failed. Essentially, you need to make sure that your PC has enough processing power, RAM, a more than decent graphics card, a USB 3 port, as well as a modern operating system.

The test results include options for ordering the Oculus Rift and for ordering a new PC, if your current one doesn't meet the requirements. Of course, you may have your own preferred hardware vendors, but the option for ordering a PC can at least point you in the right direction and help you figure out what kind of machine you should build.

If you are excited about the new Oculus Rift, the Oculus Rift Compatibility Tool will help you make sure your machine is compatible and possibly avoid wasting money.
