CES 2016 VR-Ready PCs and Add-In Cards All the Rage in Las VegasThis week at CES 2016, NVIDIA unveiled a VR-ready program to help gamers “navigate their way to great virtual reality experiences.”

According to a statement shared with MHW, the company has partnered with PC and notebook makers and add-in card providers to deliver “GeForce GTX VR Ready” systems and graphics cards that deliver an immersive VR gaming experience.

The program minimizes confusion regarding which equipment is necessary to play the range of VR games and applications increasingly coming to market.

Delivering a great VR experience demands seven times the graphics processing power of traditional 3D games and applications — driving framerates above 90 frames per second (fps) for two simultaneous images (one for each eye).1

“For customers, navigating an emerging technology like VR can be daunting,” said Jason Paul, general manager of emerging technologies at NVIDIA. “We’re working with trusted partners worldwide to simplify the buying process with a GeForce GTX VR Ready badge that will let customers quickly identify PCs or add-in cards that are capable of handling the demands of VR.”
