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.

So, when is the option to switch that freaking annoying msg off coming out?
What is Oculus oficial disposition on that?

Nobody with an overclocked CPU/GPU is fool enough to buy a new computer because of that silly msg... I hope they realize that! lol

I5 3570k water cooled overclock set to 5 ghz. I have a 980ti and have no issues playing every VR game on maxed out settings. My system plays flawlessly. I could easily upgrade to the newest chips but my I5 3570k chip destroys the new chips at their normal clock settings. My single core mark is considerably faster than the 4590. So yeah, I would love it if we could remove this notification. At least do what the Vive does and provide an actual VR test that actually tests something and doesn't just read from a list. Even The Nvidia Experience on my pc says I pass all the VR tests.

That's a purty wall mount.  I've considered that very case but was concerned about dust coming in through the top.  How often do you clean it (it looks very tidy there).

Thank you! I have a small air compressor that I use maybe once every 2 months to blow out all of the dust. It's no worse than any of my cased PC's as far as the dust goes. The cabling is actually better now. I have all the cables wrapped so it looks tighter. This is an older pic. The wall mount is awesome. I love having my PC mounted on the wall. The case is awesome. I would definitely recommend it. My PC should definitely not have to see a message saying it is not VR Ready : )

I love that case, it's been on my wish list for a while... Just waiting for a CPU that is worth upgrading from my i7 2600K, which can pass the 5.25GHz mark if I want:

Unfortunately, our CPUs are not good enough for Oculus Rift, tho! LOL

You don't really need an option. Just use this https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/37165/permanent-fix-for-false-doesnt-meet-minimum-mes...

I kinda doubt they'll add in such a feature anytime soon. They're focused more on selling, evangelizing and building up their SDK support.

I haven't tested it myself, as I have an above minimum CPU. Looks super legit though. B)


It seems they have removed that thread... now I'm curious.

And I'm also a +1 for allowing us to remove the message.. oh please.. oh please...

Why do we even need to ask? Do they intend to make this their stance?


I didn't remove the thread. I tried to edit it to update my pastes because the old paste sites vanished from age. When I edited the post it deleted it somehow? Probably user error. Here is the new version: https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/37165/permanent-fix-for-false-doesnt-meet-minimum-mes...

This is a fix just for the CPU tho. I haven't had a need to look into the GPU, but the same concepts should work for it.
