    Dears,
    I got that wonderful device 1 month ago and that period I tried all (ALL) to make it at work with no success... the final question is: my laptop is not powerful enough (or better my GPU/HDMI output) to support the HTC VIVE?
    All the other devices are recognized by the HTC Vive tool but not the headset.

    The headset is powered on and I can see on it the clone of the main display. Someone can help me?



    Thanks!!!

    Hello,

    I don't remember the version of M18xR1 HDMI port but Im sure that 6990M crossfire will not be sufficient in new games and only new games will support VR. You need more frames than 60 to avoid headaches.

    And if you didn't reballed 6990M using lead solder then they will die soon too.
