Disable "Your computer doesn't meet Rift's recommended specifications" message in Oculus Home?

Just got my Rift, using an older overclocked CPU. I know it is not one of the recommended CPUs, but it works just fine with all the apps I've tried so far. Is there any way to disable the "doesn't meet recommended specifications" message in Oculus Home (which is present in VR as well as on the desktop window)? It's very annoying.

+1. This should be a simple UI fix. I don't understand why this takes forever.

I also want a configuration option to disable the minimum requirements warnings.

Yes, Make a toggle off in the settings please!

3770K here with an 980ti



Still no response on this?

I have the same 3770k and 980ti, no issues at all. Even able to turn up pixel density without issue. Can I stop getting harangued every time I start using my Rift?

Project Cars need a good cpu and with a 3770K Im sure you get struggle with it, I have i7 3820 @ 4,2 Ghz with a 1080 and got some trouble with that bad optimized game.

You have the same specs as me. Use my fix if you want to stop seeing the message: https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/37165/permanent-fix-for-false-doesnt-meet-minimum-mes...

I bet there are legal aspects... They might have "sold" it as a "brilliant idea" to help the hardware partners to sell their "great" packages/bundles! lol

Did you read the previous posts in the thread? @BitVar posted a fix for this:

I haven't tested it myself, as my CPU is above the minimum spec, but I have no doubt that his solution works.. no one has posted otherwise. B)

I would like this fix also.  I have a i7-3930K overclocked to 4.2GHz and a GTX1080.  I get the maximum score of "11" on the S TEAMVR benchmark with 0 frames under 90fps, 0 frames limited CPU.  All games run spectacular.

But wow, that annoying message in Oculus Home remains due to my "3.2ghz" CPU.  Though it works, I don't want to change my CPU type in registry.  And I'm not buying a new CPU until Skylake-E hits.   I just want oculus to make this message an option you can disable in the UI!

I have a GTX 970(OC) and i5 4460 which is 3.2 GHz and the recommended CPU is 3.3 GHz. I get this annoying message all the time that my system is not good enough(and that the DK2 is not supported). The CPU is only slightly slower and the GPU is slightly faster than the recommended so my machine is fast enough for Oculus compatible games according to all benchmarks and my own experience(with the DK2 so far).

I think this hardware check is just too simplified to work correctly and the message without the option to disable it is very annoying.

Oculus should create their own benchmark which could run at the beginning of the Rift setup and it could determine if the system is performing fast enough for the Rift or not. And if it's not fast enough the user should still have the option to continue after acknowledging the fact that the system is too slow to run every VR game as some games are not so performance hungry.

It really seems that Oculus tries to overly simplify the software and its development leaving out options which could be easily added like disabling annoying messages, auto-update or the Oculus service.
