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.
No slideshow, but a dramatic failure that made me chuckle. Error 208. Sees it on USB, but doesn't even acknowledge it on HDMI. Catalyst shows the display as an HTC Vive, but with a max resolution of 720x480/60. Windows sees it as a Generic PnP Monitor, but swears it's only capable of 1920x1080 like an HD set and won't even connect to it at that for grins.
So what I'm wondering is has anyone been able to get their HMD of either type to work with any absolute dinosaur GPUs (okay, maybe not as old as mine, but it's from 2009 anyway)?
I'm actually curious to know how a Vive shows up in Device Manager when properly recognized. There might be a way to force it and get the full 1998 Unreal on a Voodoo Rush experience (okay, more like Unreal on an integrated SiS graphics chipset).
