ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced that the ROG G752VS and ROG G752VM gaming laptops are now certified Oculus Ready PCs. The announcement was made at the Oculus Connect 3 Developer Conference in San Jose, California.

Both models are the world's first gaming laptops to meet the recommended specifications required to power Oculus Rift, and feature NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series graphics, the latest Intel Core processors, and up to 64GB of DDR4 memory. The VR-Ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-series graphics cards provide exceptional performance and energy efficiency to give gamers incredible virtual-reality (VR) gaming experiences. These graphics cards also feature NVIDIA G-SYNC technology to reduce lag and stutter, and eliminate visual tearing to ensure the smoothest and fastest gaming visuals.

"Enabling the ultimate gaming experience for gamers is at the heart of ASUS," said Joe Hsieh, Corporate Vice President. "We are bringing an immersive VR experience to gamers by expanding our collection of Oculus Ready PCs with the ROG G752VS/VM gaming laptops."

The partnership between ASUS and Oculus is aimed at offering gamers a truly immersive gaming experience. With ROG G752VS and ROG G752VM joining the ASUS G11CD and ROG G20CB gaming desktops, ASUS expands its collection of Oculus Ready PCs.

The Oculus Ready badge is earned by only a select few PCs. All Oculus Ready PCs undergo stringent testing to ensure that ports, firmware, operating systems and other features are up to Oculus standards. System hardware is put through 17 rigorous performance and reliability tests to ensure the system is fully Oculus Ready. This includes a 72-hour stress test, along with the repeated swapping of hardware ports to ensure connectivity and reliability. After a battery of over 100 tests, each Oculus Ready PC is graded out of 10 possible points to ensure full compatibility with the Oculus Rift headset.
