New, Affordable VR Headset! - GALAX VISION Developer Edition

2015-06-06
like you to msi for sending us here to Computex this year and also thank you to Linda calm so the Computex Convention Center just closed that was our last day here so we have to make this video and we are making the video about Galax now Galax is a new VR headset called the vision are you surprised they have a VR headset because I freaking was I did not expect Cadillacs have a VR headset it might remind you a lot of an oculus headset and that's not too surprising it looks very similar although it does look a little bit tacky with some glossy plastic here there and the front of it actually just being a sticker but that's probably excusable as this is their Developer Kit edition and much like dk1 it's a little bit rough around the edges in terms of spec it has a 25 millisecond response time 1080p monitor with 60 Hertz of refresh rate 100 degree field of view and it connects through HDMI 1.4 B and USB 2.0 it weighs 380 grams without the cable and headband and yeah so that probably doesn't sound super amazing but that might actually be ok an oculus rift is actually fairly expensive and this vision kit is targeted at a 200 USD price point which is really aggressive is it worth it I actually don't know yes it's quite cheap but it's quite cheap I don't actually know if it's necessarily worth buying it's a little low spec for me it might be worth investing a little bit more money and a big problem that I actually have with it and the reason why I'm not so sure about it is that a game compatibility it's compatible with some oculus games but definitely not all of them and I assume that once the oculus consumer version comes out and once the vive consumer version comes out those are going to be able to play some pretty high-end games that this is not going to be compatible with and those games are going to be more actual games instead of just tech demos so if you're a developer looking to get into developing for very cheap maybe this actually makes sense this is the developer edition after all but if you're a gamer looking for a device I'm not so sure that being said they will be releasing an SDK in the future so people can develop for this but again that's a lot of SDKs just for VR and it's gonna be a little bit hard of a push moving on we have their graphics cards I think this might be the fourth or fifth 980ti version that we've seen at the show so far and have an air cooling and water cooling edition their air cooling edition has dual eight pin power and eight phase-- for those eight pin powers it's more or less the same cooler that we've seen before on hall-of-fame edition cards with two and a half's law it's a hyper boost button on the back and it has some new kind of styled chrome finishing and had that before but it looks a little bit different now I also have to note that there's no announced clock speeds for this card moving on to the water cooling edition it has a custom water Glock from bits power which actually looks pretty freakin cool it's a two slot car instead of two and a half slots it has 3/8 pin power connectors instead of two and it has 16 phase power instead of 8 also it's a limited edition so I don't know how many are actually gonna be available and this one also has no announced clock speeds let me know what you guys think about vision in the comments down below or on twitter at luke underscore LAF are also thank you to msi for sending us here this year we would not have been able to see the vision without them and they have a cool little product link in the video description down below this video that's the bitly Lake I can show you everything that they launched here at Computex also they have stuff like Broadwell laptops and stuff so you might want to actually check that out lynda.com the also helped us get here this year lynda.com slash common beat X for a 10 day free trial and start learning today don't forget to like dislike favorite share subscribe follow all that good stuff thank you guys for watching and I'll see you next time
