There are some rumors that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti might or might not support VR. Well, we got some proof … it might actually support VR after all. That’s according to Zotac’s packaging, which was leaked to us by a close source.
But in my opinion, I’m not really convinced if the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is powerful enough to run VR, but according to the Roadtovr, this is what Nvidia said …
“We expect that the [GTX 1050] Ti will meet [Oculus’ minimum] requirement,” said an Nvidia spokesperson who further added that the company recommends the more powerful GTX 1060 (which meets the Recommended Spec) for “native 90 FPS gameplay” which wouldn’t rely on Oculus’ Asynchronous Spacewarp. Oculus too, when introducing ASW, said that there’s “no replacement for native 90 FPS VR.”
