    So the new update to windows 10 creator sounds good.
    Sounds like its got a gaming mode which could help with the vr with all resorces for gaming.
    Ive always thought ehy dont they have a bare min setup you just press an icon and it loads that up then every bit oc power is used for games.

    Also the 3d software side could be nice simple way to 3d printing.

    Any one else think the gaming mode would help vr.

    The initial vr integration will likely be specific to M$ partner HMDs.

    I was thinking more the thinned out gaming option to use all resources for the gaming side.
    Would think that will help vr performance.

    Well Rift users get a Xbox controller so we should be in for a win :D

    I think it probably will help for people with lower end machines
