I have one of these overclocked with a 3570k, wondering if it will be enough for the oculus rift.

Yes it should be, the consumer grade oculus rift minimally requires a card that can run current generation games at 1080p with 75 fps, that depends on your quality settings though, I know for a fact I can run certain games with AA minimized to reach that with one card, I own two in crossfire, it shouldn't be a problem.

This is a good card but I would recommend that you go with an R9 290x or even a 295x to give it the power to run extremely high res devices.

Absolutely sir. I bought this for my brothers gaming rig. His gpu is a gtx 770 and we have had no problems. For gaming, an i5 is more than enough. The gpu is more important in this case. Even if you went all out with dual 780ti's that CPU would be fine. Overclocks very well also

Should be fine with your CPU - be careful with overclocking though, if you intend to do that. Otherwise, it's a fine motherboard and hasn't given me any issues.

Easily. If you plan on overclocking it should be fine but if you also plan on adding another 980 you may need a tad more power for stability.

Yes, overclocks great;update BIOS version if possible,always best to have latest drivers.

I use it for both things! 3D Modelling/Rendering and also Gaming. Let me tell you it works like a charm in both scenarios. Runs any game at maxed settings without breaking a sweat. Also, really really silent while doing so.

I use it for Lord of the Rings Online, Civ 5 and a whole host of other games. I don't really do FPS so can't answer there, but it seems the answer would be yes.

i have the card and it's great but not the watercooling kit. Have not found the need to overclock it. It runs games great.

Yes, and yes. However, if you looking into overclocking anything you need at least 800 watt power supply to be safe. As long as you leave everything at stock speeds, your fine.

Yes and check out www.overclock.net keep in mind that it is already highly overclocked and might be at the chips limits for performance. Welcome to the silicone lottery my friend. Some chips will do 1400/1800 on air @ 1.3v others will not budge past 1150/1600 no matter how much voltage you give it even under custom waterblocks. My 2 cents

Yes it will be enough, you could even run it in crossfire and not see a bottleneck.

More because it's OC(overclocked). Don't waste your money the improved 700 series equivalent is coming and it will be similarly priced(I'm personally grabbing the 770 lightning).

I'm currently Using this Processor on a LGA 1150 socket, Z97 motherboard. I have not been able to Overclock using the wizard without the computer Crashing the GPU (GTX 660) I have not tried to overclock manually. I can say that the fan that comes with it does a decent job and can be used for running High Quality games without overclocking (WatchDogs looks great, it has it's own problems, Tomb Raider works great on Max, Skyrim looks great too, But I do have 32gigs of memory as well) So, Yes. And Overclocking isn't needed so far, I can't find a game I want to play that can challenge this processor even at it's out-of-box speed.

I use it for both editing in Sony Vegas Pro and play games like Battlefield. Trust me, unless your doing both things at once with max graphics and several 4k renderings going on, you won't even need to overclock this.

This specific card comes slightly overclocked out of the box. I have not changed it at all and I can run Skyrim on high (AA off), Borderlands 1 and 2 on high (AA off), Far Cry 3 on high/medium (aa off) with 40-45 FPS. This is with a phenom 2 X4 810 processor and 6 GB of ram.

Well I have my 4770k at a solid 4.5 ghz overclock and I own a gtx 780 ti that's also overclocked to about 1.1 Ghz and that is just running fine without even consuming 3/4 of it so I feel you could do it but just depends how comfortable you are running your system almost reaching its Maxs on the psu

Should be okay if you don't overclock it or your cpu. It's running fine on my cheap 700watt cooler master extreme
