Official list of CPU's, please?????

Hi there,

I've scoured the internet and only found listings dated about 2016 of CPU that will run Oculus Rift.
Any posts since then are people complaining about their CPU is up to the mark or even surpass very comfortably - yet still won't install the software.

Surely a copy and paste from the inner workings of the Oculus software, the list which it checks against to which CPU will do the deed  can be done?????

It seems that the specifications are hinted at, but not clearly defined.  Surely this day and age, it can be clearly defined?

Regards
Mark

Just struck incredibly lucky, just travelled 7 hours round trip, £50 in fuel and picked up a HTC Vive for £200, with the two controllers and the two sensors, included in the mega-deal of the century was a pair or stands for the sensors and a super long HDMI cable.  

So, i guess that's it Oculus.  So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Oh well, 2nd is better than last. 😛
Enjoy your Vive.

Dear Oculus, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, please.

Can someone clarify if Oculus won't actually install onto a system if a cpu isn't on the list?  I have a 6 core I7-3960X which wasn't on the original supported CPU list but needless to say VR runs easily on it.  Oculus software installed straight away with no issue.

From what I have heard, if your hardware isn't officially supported, everything will still work but you will get a warning message every time you start OH. You have the option of ignoring that message and continuing.

@BeastyBaiter The OP is claiming people can't install the Oculus software because of their CPU.  I find this hard to believe as I didn't have any issue at all and my CPU wasn't on the accepted list at the time of install.

I did see that stupid banner in Oculus Home about my system not meeting requirements because of my CPU, I've always ignored it.

I have an I7 2600k, it was not on the list and everything works on it.  The nag message saying the CPU isn't supported is no longer on the screen either.

Oculus software installed without problem (April).
Performance warning no longer shows, since 1.17 (or there abouts).

Get a Grasp, get a Grip, get Rifting.

I think the option to install the software has been removed if your machine doesn't meet the specs .....  Here is a picture of my results.  I couldnt see a part where it says, install software. rpnnbi8aa3bw.png

You can always download the software here:
https://www.oculus.com/setup/
The only times it won't install is if your CPU or other components are so old to not be even compatible at all (for example if certain CPU instruction sets are not available on your chip or a really old video card that can't use the latest drivers, etc.)

Cheers for the response.  I couldn't for the life of me find where this was.  It was insisting i do the compatibility check.  If i had seen this before i had gotten the Vive i would of been happy to save up for the rift.  Maybe in the future, when the next generation comes out, i can sell the vive and spend the money upgrading.  I did get a real good deal on the Vive, so shouldn't lose as much as most when the time comes.
