please help anybody ?
I purchased the cutting edge MSI laptop GT80 TITAN dual Nvidia GTX 980M SLI in august 2015, thinking it was Oculus CV1 compatible. :evil:
I was about to preorder the CV1 but I need to know officially if my rig is ok or no ??
Apparently it doesn't seem to be.... I'm so pissed off considering the cost of my laptop : 4700$. The retailer assured me it was compatible (minimum specs being Nvidia GTX 970). :oops:
Thank you for any help....

Just to clarify, "not supported" and "not working" are different things. So when I say mobile gpus are not supported, it means it may not work and you will receive no help or tech support if it doesn't work. It actually may work, for example if you find one of the few laptops without Optimus or whatever. But you're on your own at that point.

Gotcha, but I do feel someone should make a sticky thread clarifying
"For everyone that wants an oculus ready laptop- they're not supported but ALL of them without optimus and a gtx980m or above are confirmed running"
this also won't change anytime soon because at that point, theres no other internal differences between a gaming laptop with these specs and a gaming desktop gtx970 and above besides the casing/how the monitors are connected. (at least nothing that should make or break it with the oculus rift)

980m benchmarks as slower than a 970, so it doesn't even meet the minimum specs that Oculus put out.
