Spent around 4000$ to build a decent rig that can handle the DK2 (and hopefully will handle CV1), so kinda curious which selected enthusiasts would be interested...
I'm running on 5960x, gtx titan-x and 64gb 3,3ghz DDR4, and 4k gaming does work.
On 60FPS.
Which is irrelevant since the 4k monitor can't handle faster than 30Hz refresh rate @4k
And this is only a single-render from one angle.

It's unbelievable a company out of no where can come up with a 5k resolution display and the so called "experts" at Oculus and Vive couldn't even come up with a decent 2k display lol. Something is not adding up here.

Why do they have to call this 5k resolution when it is, in fact, fewer pixels than a 4k panel?
I should offer to sell them 10k displays. They'll have a 100000:1 aspect ratio, which I am sure would sound just fantastic to their marketing folks.

:roll: You are delusional if you think it would have been a good choice to go with specs like this for the first consumer product.

Marketing absurdity will never end. It's not only 5K, but remember that 4K should be called 2K, because it has TWO thousands in 2160p name. 8K should be called 4K (4320p) and so on. They just "counted in in different way", they counted "4x more pixels" and named it 4K. To confuse people. And they succeeded. I saw a guy posting a comment where he though 2K means something in the middle between 1080p and 2160p and it was about in fact 1080p, not even 1440p which some people call 2K.
Confuse people - oldest trick in the book. Look at Nvidia and their ridiculous naming scheme, now copied by AMD.
For example GTX5xx series based on the same GPU found in 6xx series.
Sometimes the same GPU gets 3 names of 3 different generations!
LCDs reaction time, "1000Hz" in TVs, 'next-gen console" used for something that's been on the market for 1.5 years.
Ask THEM why they named it inaccurately. 😉
This will never end. It should. But won't.
