I would guess that the framerate is at least 30, probably more like 40 or even 50? I have no idea really.
On the lowest video settings, it is a smooth and immersive demo, and the graphics look fine with lush vegetation and fog effects. Intel Iris also does a pretty good job with the Sightline: The Chair. I have not tried the Half-Life 2 Episodes yet. If you have Intel Iris, you will be able to thouroughly enjoy Half-Life 2. The frame rate and head tracking was very smooth and immersive. Regardless, I never noticed any jerkiness at all, so the fps could not have dropped much below 50, if at all. I would guess that during some intense scenes the fps dropped even lower, but I did not have a chance look at the fps counter when I was engrossed in the intense action scenes. When more enemies were present, I noticed the FPS would drop to 56fps. Most times I checked, the fps counter was steady at 75fps. I used the "net_graph 1" console command to turn on the fps counter in Half-Life.

I just played through the game on my 13" MacBook Pro, SSD/i7/16GB, running SteamVR in native Windows 7. I can confirm that Intel Iris is good enough to play Half-Life 2 at 75fps on the very lowest graphics settings.

75 FPS solid at a rendered resolution well above 1080P is not happening on an integrated chip. If anyone has some benchmarks proving otherwise the VR capability of the Iris chips, please post them. It is still only a low end integrated solution that is in no way intended for gaming. I'm sorry, but it's entirely misleading to claim that a 560M can handle VR just because you can run a few small demos.Īs for Iris, no it is not strong enough, that is a fact. The 560M can maybe handle some demos, but I'm willing to bet you can't get consistent 75fps in TF2 or HL2 when they get DK2 support. Matter of fact, the latest MacBook Pro release (2.6GHz i5, 8GB RAM, Intel Iris Graphics) is still very capable of running VR with reasonable experience at lower settings. Just take a look at this thread here to get a better idea of what laptop specs other users are using here.įor example, my current setup from nearly 3 year old Asus laptop (Intel Core i7 2630QM, 12GB DDR3 RAM, 64GB SSD, 750HD, NVidia GTX 560M 2GB) already is capable of running nearly all the of the demos at max settings without any lag on the DK2. If you want to have a VR capable rig, at least for the time being, I would recommend buying or building a gaming desktop based on the specs that we have listed all over the forum in threads like this.

It really just comes down to how much you want to start developing software or getting an early peek at the stuff others are putting out. With the demand for dev kits being so high, there's a good chance that any hardware you ordered now would not arrive until the OSX SDK is released and general improvements have been made to the software. Still, if it's what you have to work with and you want to get started on some software development, it should function until you decide if it's worth putting together a dedicated desktop or getting a new laptop. The main downside to using a laptop is that you can't just drop in a better GPU (your main bottleneck at the moment). Word is still out on how much SDK updates will improve performance across the board so it may get better or it may stay sub-par. You just won't be playing Elite Dangerous at anything approaching decent framerates just yet. Still, if you just want to start testing and developing software and can deal with some framerate issues for the time being, it should technically run stuff. Those mobile versions of GPUs are less capable than the desktop versions of the same model number so you will have a hard time running some of the current software/demos where people are still having issues on top end graphics cards.

That said, that hardware is pretty standard so if you have a copy of Windows 7 or 8 you can set up a dual boot with BootCamp and boot into Windows to work with the DK2 right now.Īs far as hardware, that isn't terribly bad but the GPU may have some trouble keeping up with more demanding content. As of now the current SDK is not out for OSX or Linux but it will eventually be released for those OSes. Depends what you plan on doing/when you plan on doing it.
