AMD Partners With Oculus and Dell to Power Oculus-Ready PCs
AMD today announced a collaboration with Oculus and Dell to equip Oculus Ready PCs with AMD Radeon GPUs, starting at $999 USD. The powerful PCs are designed to deliver stunning gaming performance and enable spectacular VR experiences for consumers around the world by leveraging AMD VR leadership with LiquidVR and Graphics Core Next architecture.
"It's an exciting time to be at the heart of all things Virtual Reality," said Roy Taylor, corporate vice president, Alliances and Content, AMD. "I'm confident that with Dell and Alienware, we can enable a wide audience of PC users with extraordinary VR capabilities powered by AMD Radeon GPUs."
In March, AMD announced an initiative to deliver the ultimate VR experience for developers and users enabled through AMD LiquidVR technology. AMD LiquidVR enables low-latency VR performance that maintains reliable comfort during your VR experience, and plug-and-play compatibility with VR headsets. AMD GPU software and hardware subsystems are a major component in making AMD LiquidVR a reality and in turn allowing for developers and content creators to enable a life-like presence in VR environments.
"For nearly 20 years Alienware has been a leader in performance and innovation for PC gaming; virtual reality is the next frontier and we plan to innovate and lead in the same way, with the same passion," said Frank Azor, Co-founder and General Manager, Alienware. "Partnering with the performance of AMD graphics and the innovation of Oculus provides an incredible opportunity for Alienware to deliver something awesome for our users."

2. read the topic title
3. ???
4. less salt, more profit
Let me put it this way, you'll last long here with that attitude. [/sarcasm]
2. thread derailed on comment #6 by you know who
3. i call him out on it, i am wrong
4. you call me on writing "bad english", you are right
yup, somehow all this checks out and your saltiness towards me is more than fair
is there anything else you want to add to my "lala land" (whatever that is)?
also not my fault you cant or dont want to understand that posts content, but everything mentioned in it has happened, the "funny" names are just internet slang, educate yourself on the topics laid there before calling troll to people that dont share your opinion. facts are facts, you can either present a valid retort or you can just post some gibberish, guess which route both of you toke?
Let me guess you are around 15 and posting this from school? This is kind of my job. I deal with this on a day to day basis. Nvidia cards sell more for a reason, OEM's also prefer them for a reason. I say again when AMD can provide a stable, working graphics driver, with proper scaling come get me.

yup, all gibberish, i really wish i could take back all the fallacies on my post and... errr, wait a second...
are you really gonna stay mad over my mention of some events about a company that dabbles in VR? totally ontopic like the other guy
*and post*
and of course i would, please do!
HD2900 overheating problems
3870X2/4870X2's habit of toasting GPU's
Witcher 3 "issues" <-I can list dozens of games with issues like this.AMD isn't perfect, in fact they are far from it. Their drivers are buggy and often 3-4 months pass before new release games have a properly functioning driver. They haven't released a new GPU in years and cling to the 7950/70 design. This leaves nvidia to fuck off and do the same. Get your head out of the sand and look around. I have dealt with crossfire since for a while. SLi is absurdly better as far as driver support and functionality goes. I had less issues with scaling across 4 GPU's (2xGTX295's, hell my 2x7950GX2's) than my two 7950's, way less than the 3/4/5 series GPU's.
also all those lmgtfy links are funny as hell, best rebuttal ever, and the best content available or as you said beforeguess you dont want to walk the walk, even after all that talk:which was great btw
besides its not really a bribe, people do this willingly after having a "pep talk" about "compensation for promoting products" with some subcontracted marketing team that recruits them onlinebeing naive is only cute on children, on adult folks it easily turns into an handicap
i could recognize that "points to cover" and "dont forget this whenever applicable" speech anywhere, now if recognizing this is a good thing im not sure (think of it what you want)dont be, after all you are just stating your opinion
