News Oculus VR reveals Rift hardware requirements

I always assumed that the resolution was going up in the consumer release --it has been speculated for ages on the web exactly how high it was going.

 

It was made somewhat more official last week (at last) when the Oculus blog stated a figure: 2160x1200 @ 90Hz split between both eyes (still a lot less demanding than 1080p @75Hz per eye).

"On the raw rendering costs: a traditional 1080p game at 60Hz requires 124 million shaded pixels per second. In contrast, the Rift runs at 2160×1200 at 90Hz split over dual displays, consuming 233 million pixels per second."
