Apparently it's not AMD's display but the specs are supposedly correct.
My question is, how are we going to push 4K times 2 at 120 FPS? That just seems crazy at this point in time. I imagine technologies like nVidia's SMP...
While I'm still waiting for my chance to get a GTX 1080, I received my Vive today and decided to see if it would even give me a slideshow on my Radeon HD 5870 from 2009.
